tennial all her own. II was lust fetv
years ago, according to the newspaper
records that Dr. Mary Walker, then
handsome young woman, adopted mas
culine attire. Ever since 1861 she has
always appeared in public clad in
trousers, frock coat and high hat. She
has bravely outlived the criticism and
merriment caused by her action and
her clothes are now accepted as
matter of course by the statesmen at
Albany, to whom she is familiar fig
ure.
When she first began to wear pants,
DR.. Walker declared that all American
women would speedily follow her ex-
ample. While disappointed in this be-
lief she finds encouragement in the
harem skirt, which she points out as
a revival of the boomers invented by
Mrs. Amelia jerks Bloomer back in
1864, and which had a short vogue in
this country. While the harem skirt
is an improvement over skirts, says
DR.. Mary Walker, it is not nearly as
good as the trousers.
DR.. Walker asserts that corsets and
skirts are responsible for much of the
disease and sickness in this world,
and that men suffer as well as women
since no women can be perfectly
healthy and bear healthy children un-
der the present regime
That women are free, legally, to
adopt masculine attire whenever they
wish is the declaration of DR.. Walker,
who brands as a falsehood the old
story that she had a special law passed
by congress giving her the right to
wear pants. All a woman has to do,
she says, is to adopt mems clothes and
keep on wearing them until the clamor
subsidies. There is no law to prevent,
she asserts. Women have legs as well
as men, declares DR.. Walker, and they
ought to have them protected as we'll
as men.

MY GARDEN.

My heart is a little garden
Set in desert waste;
The walls are rough, the door is small
And high the key is placed.
None guess my hidden riches,
My wealth of leaf and bloom;
The gold of chaliced lilies,
The roses rare perfume.
Here climbs the starry jasmine,
Hopes ladder to the skies;
And here, like thoughts too pure for
words,
The silken moonfiowers rise.
Here falls the FLASHING fountain
t$Wdth Fancy's waters bright
Here fit Ambitions butterflies
Winged jewels in the light.
And all sweet birds are singing
Their happy songs together;
So brings the year whatever cheer
My heart holds summer weather.

BLEED ALMOST AT A TOUCH.
Sufferers From RemophIia Rarely Get
a Chance to Live Long.


There is no accident of practice
more dreaded by the physician than
to see patient upon whom he has
performed some trivial operation,
such as Iancing a boil or removing
adenoids, bleed and bleed and keep
on bleeding, perhaps until he dies.
All the usual remedies, such as
pressure, cold and the application of
styptics, and all the unusual ones,
such as tying ligature around the
bleeding part or soaring it with the
cautery, are tried and tried in vain.
Fortunately, this accident hap
pens rarely and can happen at all
only in the case Of a new patient,
with whose constitution the doctor
is unfamiliar, but when it does hap
pen it seems worse and more ter
rible than death from any ether
cause following operation, for it is
so unlocked for that it comes like a
bolt from the blue.
The constitutional state to which
this accident is due is known as
hemophilia, Those subject to it are
called "bleeders." The disease is
one of the blood solely. 1t consists
in a reduced coagulability-that is,
the clots which ordinarily close the
open mouths of the minute blood
vessels and stop the blood from
oozing from a small wound do not
form; consequently the blood con-
tinues to escape, The globules of
the blood and the coloring. matter
are usually as they are in health, for
the trouble is purely a chemical one
"a deficiency of lime salts, the
presence of which is essential if
clots are to be formed.
In these cases it does not always
require a surgeon to infict a fatal
wound. a blow on the nose, an ac-
eidental cut or mere pin scratch
may open a sufficient number OF
tiny blood vessels to drain away the
vital fluid A man who knows him
self to be a bleeder does not dare
to shave; he will suffer any pain
from an aching tooth rather than
allow it to be pulled, and he is most
careful not to let his hands or lips
chap in winter, lest an accidental
crack open the way to an uncon-
trollable outpouring Of blood.
Why the blood is deficient in lime
salts is not known The condition
IS hereditary, and, oddly enough, al
though it affects men and boys al
most exclusively, it is transmitted
through the female line. Thus a
man may be a bleeder; his children
viii escape. but the male children
of his daughter will almost surely,
one or all, suffer.
Most bleeders die in infancy, but
not a few live to boyhood and some
even to adult life before meeting
with the accident that leads TO the
fatal hemorrhage. Some few grow
out of the condition.
Treatment consists in the daily
administration Of lime salts, such
as the lactate Of calcium, through
long periods of time. Gelatin has
also been used, apparently with ben

He plugged at it in the morning before games. and first thing you know, he had it work ing so you could fool more people with it than you could with the nimble pea and the sheltering shells. Matty had this in excellent condition by the close of the season, and at the beginning of the next he was selected to take his new speciality into the field and see whether he could make the Broolyns fall for it or not. That doesn't sound so important as it once did. In those days the Brooklyns were champions of the league, and there are papers to prove it. Anyway, Matty got out on the diamond and put up package after package of the drops. and Brooklyn succumbed and Wild Zill Donovan, his pitching opponent. had something to be wild about. and Matty went on and won game after game, and never let up season after season, and If he doesn't stop he'll go on forever.
 There may have been another pitch CT his equal, but if so he kept under cover all his life. Certainly no pitcher anyone ever heard of combined the skill. strength. good humo self-re- spect temperateness and sound com mon sense that marks Matty.
