Live and Learn,

DR.. Sophia Jex-Blake, whose per
sistept efforts finally brought about
the admission of women to the prac4
tice of medicine in England, remained
wittily unimpressed by the bestowal
of this privilege. AS the Saturday
Review has it:
1T was absurd" she said, ito keep
the door longer shut against young
women, seeing how many old women
were already inside"
OF tireless eloquence, Doctor Jex~
Blake once drew the incisive wit of
Benjamin Jowett. The Master of Bal
liol had sat next to her at dinner, and
after the ladies retired, he remarked
in his mild, gh-pitched voice:
Il always knew that lex meant law,
but never till this night that Jex
meant jaw."-Youth's Companion.

Tomato Cream Soup.
Comparatively few housekeepers
know that tomato cream soup, some

All sorts of queer happenings may
take place in your ooup-kettle; the

may get ropy., as if the ingredients
were trying hard to make glue; they
may even pretend to curdle, but go
