First Woman Doctors.

The first woman admitted to the
Ecole Medicine, the famous Paris med
ical college, who also the first to be-
come member of the New York Acad-
emy of Medicine, was DR.. Mary Put
nam Jacobi, who was born in London
seventy-five years ago. She was the
daughter of George p. Putnam, the
New York publisher, and studied in
several American schools before tax
ing her degree in Paris in 1871. Two
years later she became the bride of
DIR. Abraham jacob, q native of Ger
many wii0 hca that country when
charged with "high treason" for par
ticipation in German revolutionary
movement, and, settling in New York
became one of the most distinguished
Of American physicians. DR.. Mary
Putnam jacob was prominent in the
profession as professor and hospital
physician until her death in 1906. The
first woman physician in America was
DR.. Elizabeth Blackwell, a native OF
England, who received her degree OF
NJ. -. in 1S49, and later returned tC
England to practice ner profession.

cELIBATEs IN LARGE NUMBER
Seventeen Millions Of Glass In United
States, Many Being Inferior to
Married People.

'There are 1900, 900 celibates in the
United States, according to a state
ment which has been going the rounds
Of the press, after originating in a
magazine article on the sex question"
says the Journal of Heredity. EXAM
ination of the census schedules for
1910 indicates that this figure includes
all males over twenty and all females
over fifteen.
"A calculation based on such age
limits is misleading, but the actual
facts are quite striking enough. Per
sons thirty-five years Of age or over
are relatively unlikely to marry, and
it seems fair to base computations on
that age. They show, then, that there
are nearly 1000, 900 unmarried men in
the population. and about 1,250, 900 un-
married women. There are about l.
100000 unmarried women between the
ages of twenty-five and thirty-four,
and a considerable part Of these are
certain never to marry.
'The celibacy Of these millions IL,
from a eugenic point Of view, not
wholly to be deplored. While the num-
ber includes many potential fathers
and mothers of q desirable character.
it Is probable that, on the whole, these
lifelong celibates IRE eugenically infe-
rior to the married population"

LEGAL wttticissnS.

Stories from the law courts are apt
to be good, legal wit being noted for
its dryness. But this story claims no
particular merit, except as showing
the usefulness of ready wit. observes
the Christian Science Monitor. The
counse! for the plaintiff was delivering
an impassioned address. He was
somewhat weighty in person, and hap
nened to he leaning on a very old
chair. In the middle of the torrent Of
eloquence, the chair gave way and the
barrister lay on the floor in the midst
of the wreckage. He got up and, un-
perturbed, pointing to the broken chair,
said: THAT proves the strength Of
my argument" The court smiled
broadly, but laughed outright when the
opposing counsel promptly replied :
'The learned cOunseTs argument may
he all that he claims for 1t, but it fell
to the ground"

"The humble potato is destined to

but owing to the scarcity Of bread and
an Overabundance of potatoes. it
would seem that more attention must

OF this crop.

RUSSIA, COUNTRY OF FAMINE
Peasants, Next to orIentaIs, Are Re-
oarded n the Hunariest People
on Face Of Globe.

Next to the proletariat Of India and
China, the Russian peasant feels the
pinch of poverty and hunger more
keenly and more frequently than any
other citizen on earth, the National
Geographic magazine asserts.
One Of the earliest famines In Rus
sia Of which there is any definite rec
ord was that Of 1000, which continued
for three years, with death toll of
100000 peasants. Cats, dogs and rats
were eaten; the strong overcame the
weak and in the shambles Of the pub
lie markets human flesh was sold.
Multitudes Of the dead were found
with their mouths stuffed with straw.
Three Russian famines Of compara-
lively recent date were among the
most severe In the history Of the coun-
try. They occurred in 1891, 1905 and
1911. During the ten years following
the first Of these periods Of dearth the
government allotted nearly $125OOO,-
600 for relief work, but the sums were
not judiciously expended.
The famine Of 1911 extended over
one-third Of the area Of the empire in
Europe and affected more or less
100000 people, while 100000 were
reduced to starvation. Weeds, the
bark of trees and bitter bread made
from acorns constituted the chief diet
widespread and most severe famine
which has befallen a European nation
in modern times.

Smallest Farms In the World.

On the islands OF Rend Oleron.

the smallest farms in the world. Some
OF them are only one or two square
yards In area. yet these tiny domains
are carefully planted with variety
Of crops, even including vineyards. The
soil is extremely fertile. The repeat
