Feb. 9th, Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to take a medical degree, was born. Her father, sugar re- finer, emigrated with his family from Bristol, England, in 1892. After her fathers death the mother and older daughters opened little school, and it is said that when the children be- came unruly, it was only necessary to call in Elizabeth, then a girl of IT. Her force of character quieted them without a word. Later, she taught school in Kentucky, where she was quite successful and where she received much social attention. She was first led to think of studying medicine by what dear woman friend had told her of serious illness of hers, and how she longed for woman physician.
 It was not, however, easy sailing to find even college that would al- low her to enter. The responses from physicians and persons of influence to whom she wolud write, would run thus: "The idea is a good one, but impossible to accomplish" Enough to cool the ardor of a less dauntless soul. In 1847 Miss Blackwell went to Philadelphia to study anatomy un- der Dr. Allen and applied for admis- sion to each of the four medical schools of that city, but in vain. pr. Pankhurst, professor of surgery, of fered to admit her if she would dis guise herself as man. This she re- fused to do. Having applied also in vain to the large medical schools of New York, she wrote to twelve of the country colleges, including Geneva University (now Hobart College). The faculty did not wish to receive her, but left it with the 150 students, who granted the favor with the wild est demonstration.
 The classroom which had hitherto been of very boisterous character, now became suddenly transformed into a place of quiet and dignity and so remained What had hitherto been a Bedlam of confusion was magical in its silence. J. c. P.

at home with less Difficulty at thls season. both on account of the less opportunity for men and women to work. and because the older children are at home from school
 It is indeed unfortunate that any parents are so situated that they have to leave children and work-that any children have to be deprived of the daily association with mother or father.
 But it Is correspondingly fortunate that where such cases exist there ia such a place where the children may be left in good hands. It is impossi- ble to calculate just how many par ents have been placed in a position to work because of the nursery. Probably in most instances parents would never make a practice of leav- ing their children in the care Of others daily unless they were com pelled to do so. And yet, to give children the best of care. parents. especially mothers who have the con-
  should take the best of care of them selves-and this must necessitate an occasional rest from an care.
 The day nursery is brought to the attention Of the people of this city that the splendid work it does in fur nishing a haven where the little ones may be safe while their natural guardians work for them, or while they must be separated from them because of other necessary reasons. may be more appreciated.
 It is the way out for many. prob ably hundreds: 1t makes living and working possible for many adults who. because of it are able to bring more material comforts into their homes. Earnestly is it to be commended.

CITY CARS.

At the instigation of the Mayor the matter of the municipal garage and the cars of the different depart ments was discussed at a meeting of members of the departments inter- ested and others who had reason to know something of the cars and the manner in which the municipal gar age is conducted.
 Complaints of the way in which some of the cars have been used and of other matters in connection with the municipal garage have reached the ears not only of the Mayor but those of Chairman Patrick F. King. of the, board of Police Commissioners. He has been anxious. as chairman Of the board. to get at the bottom of things, as pr. Zwick. of the Health department and as others have been interested.
