New Art Which Accomplishes With Lens and Plate What Old Masters Did. With Palette and Brush. "BASKING IN THE GLORY OF THE NEAPOLITAN SUNSHINE." VOL.23 NO.48. The man with the camera is reaching high for his laurels, and modern photographic art to-day does with the lens and plate what the old masters did with palette and brush. Exhibits of the closic in picture-taking are found all over the world, and none illustrated the remarkable development of the art more strikingly than did the Royal Photographic society's show in London, which has just come to a close. There, in the beautiful rooms of the new gallery, thousands crowded about the prize winning pictures, hung and oranged like the canvases at an academy exhibit, and those who understood realized that a new type of artist had arrived—the man with the camera. Perhaps the most striking among the pictures were those studies of the "human form divine," which were shown in large numbers, both draped and in the nude. Men, women and children, chosen for their lithe and graceful figures, posed in many an ancient Roman or Grecian scene, on flower-strewn benches or by silvery watters and with the warm sunshine them in a wealth of light and shadow. A remarkable fact in connection with all these photographs was their absolute purity. Scarcely one of the nudes could give offense to the veriest prude, so absolute was the artistic effect which pervaded each example, and so thoroughly was the mere physical aspect banished by the photographer who had caught the inspiration. Then there were hundreds of prints made on the lines laid down by the great masters. Lovely figures which suggested Michael Angelo, Tintoretto or Raphael were reproduced in gray, white and brown by cunning hands and eyes which knew how to manipulate the "little black box," and how to make the most of light, shadow and expression. Notable among these were Mrs. G. A. Barton's portrait of herself as St Catherine, an excellent example of her work, which included a number of very striking figures and groups. St Catherine shows the stamp of the Italian school, and contains a suggestion of Lippi and Raphael. Misty harbors showed sails fading from light in the dying day, calling to mind Turner's masterpieces. Gay cavaliers, with fierce mustaches and winged plumes, suggested Rembrandt. St Catherine realized Gainesbrough, and here and there were handscapes, groups or still life, all reproduced from model to glass and from glass to paper, counterfeiting in the twentieth century what great wielders of the brush and palette did at the easel in other days. Then, too, there were modern examples, recalling to those who attended the exhibit the great names in the world of art to-day. Modern Venice, basking in sunshine or mirroring gonads on its canals, was well represented. St Catherine cathedrs reared their spires in man a print, while the desert, the plains and the sea all figured conspicuously. There was only one thing lacking—color. Absolute examples of life and nature's own handwork though they were, the gray, white and brown limitations drew a sharp line between them and the gorgeous canvases on which the man with the brush exerted eye and hand to express his thoughts in life. Of course there were many examples of "color photography," an art which is advancing beyond the experimental stage, and which is being developed so rapidly as to encourage the hope that the camera will one day reproduce nature in her every hue. When that day comes photography may well wear the lavels for which it is reaching out now. It is interesting to note the fact that behind the classic in photography lies the more recent "race." For the most part, the various exhibits are contributed by amateurs. Several years ago when the development of the camera had progressed sufficiently to make it a popular toy, men, women and children of all ages THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS MAN A STRIKING STUDY OF THE DRAPED FIGURE went forth in search of things to "shoot" by pressing the button. Boys and girls got the craze, spent their parents' money for "supplies," blackened their fingers, burned their clothes and set the house on fire. Once in a while she came a "result," of course, was shown to admirers friends, came more purchases of cameras who had not tried their hands as yet. Parents became interested through their children, and the camera companies raked in the dollars in great streams. No vacation, no journey and no excursion was complete without a camera wore along, and every corner of the house was with the "clickclick" of the shutter. But out of this excitement and affinity experiment there developed the "camera flend," who thought and A STRIKING STUDY OF worked intelligently. One good result was merely an incentive with him to try for a better one, and gradually when he had mastered the rudiments of merely "taking a picture," he began to look for about "effects." He noticed the soft light shining through a window on a face, or the reflection in a crystal stream of trees, grasses and flowers. It awoke a sense of artistic appreciation in his mind, and he made his camera ex press just what these lights and shadows meant to him. Camera clubs came next, and with these came periodicals exhibits. Mutual criticism at these shows was helpful, and each succeeding exhibition told its story of development in the improved entries. The movement spread from a mere local affair and took on broader lines, and presently the metropolis had its "photographic salon," where pictures from all over the world were seen. Those who win prizes need not be artists in the technical sense. True, they must possess the faculty for posing models, and must have learned through experience the value of light and shade, the importance of a second to much or too little. --- THE APPEAL. tie in "exposing," and a hundred and one little details which figure in the production of a good photograph. But chief among the requisites for success as a photographer of the classic is a keen appreciation of the beautiful and the effective. It is this spirit which has raised photography from the mere performance of "taking pictures" to a plane on which it is recognized to-day as one of the highest arts. The Porter's Tips. "I would rather be head porter in a good New York hotel than a railroad president," said Robert J. Bellis of Baltimore. "I would be making plenty of money and would not be a mark for the muckrakers. I once went on as clerk in a leading hotel there at a salary of $125 a month, which made me feel quite contented at first. "But at the same time I started an Irish company, and also be duty as head porter at a salary of $30 a month. In a few months and while I was still plugging away at my one-and-a-quarter job that Irishman was cleaning up several hundred. I know that one month it amounted to $600. THE DRAPED FIGURE. Among his tips was a check from Geo, Gould for $50 and one from Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland, also for that amount. That fellow is there still and is still laying away a neat little sum monthly. And if you tried to get him for anything else you would have to come up with a salary something like that paid a life insurance company's president." Taking Ways. "I met that popular young doctor at my uncle's the other day, and I certainly was taken with the way he acted" "What did he do?" "He took uncle's temperature; next he took aunt's word about paying his bill, and then he took his leave." "Humph! No wonder he is taking with people." Why She Went Away. "Why did you leave the room so hurriedly?" "Because," answered young Mrs. Torkins, "Charley is beginning to talk about the weather. I approve of what he is going to say, though I don't think it proper for me to hear it." HALLIE ERMINIE RIVES IN HER TOKIO HOME The Only Woman Novelist in Diplomatic Life—What She Thinks of the Japanese and What the Japanese Think of Her. A bright morning star of the literary world in the West is now visit-living in Tokio. Of a wealthy and illustrious sword-bearing family in America, and one of its most celeb-rated novel-composing persons, she has left her country for stay-doing in Japan, where she lives and is happy in the Japanese style. Dressed in white silk, she loves to impart, from her fancy like the poet's, thoughts of this country. To tell of her in a single page is like attempting to describe a beautiful woman by drawing her bones. So the, "Kokumin Shimbun," the soberest of the Japanese capital's vernacular newspapers, began its "write-up" of Hallie Ermine Rives, the Virginia novelist, who last December married Mr. Post Wheeler, one of the secretaries of the American ambassy at Tokio. The female novelist is not common in Japan. There has never been but one, in fact, worth talking about. This was Murasako no Shikibu, who, in the year 1004, A. D. wrote a novel called "Genji Monogat," the adventures of a Japanese Don Juan in fifty-four books and something under 5,000 pages, which remains a classic. To the Japanese, therefore, the advent of a female novelist from America was something interesting. Woman, moreover, has always been the submerged sex in the Land of the Rising Sun, but since the war of the fierce Western war of modernization that has been sweeping over the country, she has begun to demand more social freedom, and a place in the world's affairs. Wives of high Japanese officials, have begun differently to entertain in European, built houses, wearing European gowns, which latter the court rule demands shall be worn instead of the kimono at all court functions. The girls throughout the empire have taken to going to college like their brothers, and the wom- [Image of a person in traditional attire standing in a natural setting with trees and rocks in the background.] MRS. RIVES-WHEELER And Her Japanese Teacher. on are reading the newspapers. For these reasons the American woman—and the very young woman at that—who had won a place in Western literature, and had become famous for her novels, was a center of double attraction. The Tokio papers and the woman's magazines devoted pages to Miss Rives' dialogs and opinions on all novels, and she made a picture was put on view at the Uyoen exposition just closed, and a Tokio publishing house is now preparing to issue a Japanese version of "The Castaway," her novel of several seasons ago, founded on the life of Lord Byron. Mrs. Rives-Wheeler tells a story apropos this personal interest. One day her rick-a-sha coil, mistaking her directions, took her to the wrong spot (she had wanted to visit the Tyncoons) and she was unable to make it understand. A Japanese boy of fifteen sixteen years of age, who happened to be passing, approached, and with a low, ceremonial bow, said gravely in broken English: "You are lost. Tell me where, and I shall find out." She told him her intended objective point, and he directed her rick-a-sha man. Then he astonished her by saying: "I think, you must be the American novel-lady. I have seeing a picture to you of the newspaper." Japan's novel in Miss Rives was naturally not lessened when it became known that she had come to Japan to marry a member of the American embassy. When a man in the diplomatic service marries abroad, the affair has always its national bearings, and in this particular instance the affair had special features of real diplomacy. The event took place at the time when the San Francisco and Japanese agitation was at its height. Tokio was much excited, its papers were full of warlike fulminations against the United States, and the whole situation was becoming what diplomatsists call "delicate." Mr. Wheeler made the affair a soothing salve to smarting Japanese sensibilities that had a profound ef- fect. Indeed, it may be said to have begun the era of better feeling. Instead of choosing his best man, by time-honored custom, from the corps diplomatique, he chose a Japanese, Count Terashima, a secretary of the foreign office and confidential secretary of Viscount Hayashi, minister for foreign affairs. The count, who is a member of the house of neers, was a 1945 college mate, years ago, as it happened, of Mr. Wheeler's at the University of Pennsylvania. Six of the younger members of the foreign office and six chancellors of the imperial household Mr. Wheeler invited to act as ushers and masters of ceremonies. The popularity thus begun Mrs. Wheeler has added to. The more stilted foreign embassies found, her nothing if not original. The Baroness d'Anethan, wife of the 'Belgian min- THE MUSICIAN HALLIE, ERMINIE RIVERS WHEELER --- 1 MR. AND MRS. POST WHEELER, In Their Garden at Tokyo. HALLIE ERMINIE RIVES-WHEELER. --- ister to Japan, a sister of Rider Haggard, has decided literary tastes, and the pair often enliven a glittering state dhmer by a literary duel. The prime favorite of Tokio has always been Madame Bakhmette, wife of the Russian minister, who was Miss Mary Beale of Maryland, and a sister of Mrs John McLean of Cincinnati and Madame Bakhmette, who speaks seven languages, and wears three turquoise rings on each of her ten fingers, is known the world over for her warm heart and her eccentricities and rules the foreign society of Tokio with a heavy rod. On Miss Rires' first evening in the capital, the two found themselves dining at opposite ends of the long dining room of the Hotel Imperial, Madame Bakhmehfie studied the slim figure awhile through her lorgnette, "Thank God," she said at last to the tablefull, "there's a woman with originality, I'm going to like that girl." And she did—as their present close friendship vouchers. Immer, originality is the breath in Hilda Ernieh Rives' nostrils. At the first official dinner she gave it showed in a unique way, her smile, her she believes, are apt to be the best of their kind. Her guests on this occasion found themselves seated at a table which bore no resemblance to the usual state board. It was not French, but Colonial-American. A long mirror "lake" was in the middle, with a wilderness border of old-fashioned flowers. The menu card was uncompromisingly American, and was printed in English. The dinner, so far as Tokio went, was a new sensation. The Spanish minister, Senor Barrera, sent his secretary next morning to beg for the turnip greens, and it is still told that the excellence Yank Soo, the Chinese minister, ate three pieces of hot mince pie. Imitation is the sinister fattery. Ten days afterward the Austrian ambassador gave a Hungarian luncheon, and since then "national" dinners have quite come into vogue. During the months of her life in Japan there has been no more earnest student of things Japanese than Halle Erniemil Rives. She has begun now to understand the musical, tongue that has but sixty-eight syllables. In the afternoons she rides through the village shrine, generally accompanied by her Japanese teacher. All the time her pencil and notebook are busy. Will the successor to "Satan Sanderson" be a Japanese novel? The Japanese think so, and audibly hope so, for they know she likes them, and where liking is there is sympathy and understanding. Certain it is that she writes half of every day in her garden, opposite the embassas, by the workshop is a summer house, by the pond full of golden carp, with an old barn from some ruined Shinto temple, standing guard beside it. 1930 --- SAVES MUCH LABOR METHOD OF "FEEDING" MODERN LOCOMOTIVES. Matter of a Few Minutes Now Where Formerly Gangs. of Workmen and a Lot of Time Were Required. The little details that spell progress in the operation of a railroad are frequently the most interesting. As an instance, take the "Locomotives" boarding house," as some of the men call the coal and sand chute near every roundhouse. Twenty years ago it took big crews of men to supply the coal, sand and water—the sustenance of an engine. Now two or three men do all this work of "feeding" the engine before they go out, and do it in much less time than it used to take. When an engine is ready to go on a run nowadays it takes only a few minutes to "feed" it for the trip. When it backs it turntable to the coal chute it is ready for "dinner." In a big elevator there are hoppers full of coal to fall into its tank the moment the hoster's assistant pulls a rope. This coal is lifted from coal cars into the hoppers or chutes by means of an elevator. In the same place the sand drier has a chute that is filled with dried sand, used on the tracks when the engine's driver slips. While the coal is being dumped into the tank, the sand drier is filling the sand box, the sand shooting down through a long pipe. In a great many railroad yards the engines can be coaled, sanded and watered without moving the engine from one point. The old-fashioned water tank has given place to standpipes that are stationed in convenient places. An engine has scarcely to be moved to receive every supply needed for a long trip. In the old days it had to go first to the sandhouse and men passed buckets of said up to a man who stood on the boiler and poured it into the sandbox. Then the engine Getting Coal and Sand Supply. went to the water tank. To-day it gets its full supply in one place in a few minutes. It used to take hours to do the same work. These modern locomotive feeding devices are man-savers as well as savers of time. In the old days the lives of strong men were shortened by the toll incident to getting engines ready for their runs. With scoop shovels every pound of coal consumed by the locomotives had to be thrown from coal cars to tank, and it was an everyday occurrence to have engines hurried to the coaling track for a fuel supply when it was then time for the coal cars to be loaded, meant that the coal heavens had to be the world of slaves to accomplish what the pany expected of them. To-day mechanism saves the backs of thousands of men employed on railroad yards and roundhouses. The "locomotives" boarding house" is managed on the plan of a well-regulated dining room. The old-fashioned way of coaling engines was up to date indeed when compared with that still more remote system—wood burning. Back in the days when locomotives were steamed with wood it was a common occurrence to stop the train out in the woods somewhere and train crew and passengers would begin carrying the train to its capacity. It was a case of the wood or walk, for the engines consumed so much fuel that it was impossible to make the tank large enough to carry enough for a long trip. These wood-carrying parties used to be jolly social functions in bright weather and everybody joined in the fun. But when the chill winds blew or the rain was falling the poor train would be the elements and do all the "toting" that was required for happy day for railroad men when the coal-burner engine was invented and the raids on the forests ceased to be a factor in railroad life. Double Engine. A locomotive recently turned out by the American Locomotive Company at Schenectady, N. Y., for the Eirr railroad, is styled an articulated compound, and weighs 413,000 pounds. It is really two engines with one large boller, measuring 83.10 feet in length from the point of the cowcatcher to the end of the tender. It is said that while the haulage capacity of this engine is double that of the heaviest freight locomotives of the old type now in use, the load of one pair of driving wheels is less than that of many of the ordinary engines.

At all railroad stations in Germany there are automatic slot machines which for a 3/4-cent nickel, ticket without which no one who has no railway ticket is allowed on the platform.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1907. NEW CAUSES FOR LYNCHING. Under the above heading the Chicago Tribune sums up as follows: "Three colored men have been lynched at Tunica, Miss., upon the charge of burglary, though the evidence as to two of them was weak. Another colored man has been lynched at Byron, Ga., for stealing a few cents from some boys and resisting arrest therefor. Another colored man was lynched at Van Vleet, Miss., because he made insulting remarks to a lady over the phone. The sixth colored man was lynched at Carrollton, Miss., because the brother of a man charged with murder would not tell the mob where he was concealed. In the latter case Gov. Vardaman had issued a reward for the arrest and conviction of the alleged murderer, but stipulated that not a cent would be paid if he was lynched." The Tribute adds the following very sensible conclusion: Albane adds the following very sensible conclusion: "It is not impossible that lynching for the minor crimes may reproduce the result which once obtained and that more serious crimes may occur, growing out of retaliation for these unjustifiable mob murders for crimes which do not deserve the ex- M. B. treme penalty and do not receive it in the north." It has been persistently charged upon the Afro-Americans of the South that they aid in concealing criminals of their race. If such is the case, the foregoing shows the reason why. PHILIPPINE "NIGGERS." Some time ago the commanding officer of the American troops in the Philippines deemed it necessary to issue an order forbidding the soldiers to call the Filipinos by the op probrious epithet of "niggers." On one occasion the Philippines com THE CASTE SYSTEM. Keir Hardie, a statesman of the Dennis Kearney stripe seems to be raising Cain over in India and a feeling of uneasiness has taken possession of England. "One authority whose views have attracted considerable attention makes the prediction that while there will be 'no second Indian rising in our time, there is likely to be something more dangerous and baffling.' "The modern weapon of revolution," says this authority, "is the strike. In one way caste is, strictly speaking, a form of trade union. There are among the Hindus the bakers' caste, the cooks' caste, the washerman caste, and so on. No baker may wash his own clothes so washerman may prepare his own food. If the Hindus strike, what would become of the native army and the whole business of India? Again, the Telegraph Department is mostly Hindu and the postal service is entirely Hindu. Indeed almost all the subordinate officials in India are Hindu. No strike conceivable in England could have half the effect of a strike in India." All of which seems to indicate that it may not be good policy to establish a caste system in this country as some statesmen are trying to do. THE HEATHEN CHINEE. "For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain, the heathen Chinee is peculiar," as our British brethren are finding out to their cost. Recently the English government appropriated a large sum of money to repatriate some of the Chinese slaves of the Rand, as they were supposed not to have money enough to pay their way. But when on shipboard the so-called paupers showed up about as follows: There are any number of gold watch chains, silver watch chains, cigarette cases, traveling trunks, and so on. One Chinaman showed the other day a diamond ring, and presented the receipt for $125 which he had received from the Johannesburg jeweler from whom he had made the purchase. Another had a magnificent gramophone, while still another was carrying back an iron bedstead. Of course, the British observers of this display of wealth were somewhat disgruntled, but the Chinaman got there alame siege. A M. HON. ELMER DOVER. Secretary Republican National Committee. PHILIPPINE "NIGGERS." Some time ago the commanding officer of the American troops in the Philippines deemed it necessary to issue an order forbidding the soldiers to call the Filipinos by the opprobrious epithet of "niggers." On one occasion the Philippines commission gave a large official reception and invited all the dignitaries, natives as well as American. The president of the Supreme court was a little late and hastened to join his colleagues, who already had entered the governor's palace. His way*was barred by a soldier. "Let me pass," he exclaimed. "I am the president of the Supreme court. "I don't care who you are," retorted the sentry. "You are a nigger to me and you'll go join the niggers there in the back." The Filipino was compelled to do as the soldier bade him, and while the latter eventually was punished, friends of the native say the insult has never been forgotten by him. Such incidents always occur whenever and wherever the American travels or sojourns. And they account for the prejudice against the United States which is world-wide. The natural result is now and will be a great loss of foreign trade. The Jewish Courier, of Chicago, in a recent editorial, that-paper states that the white slave trade is eating its way into the heart of the Ghetto, and that hosts of Jewish girls are in constant danger of falling victims to it. The paper especially warns Jewish parents to be on guard against young men who seek to penetrate into Jewish homes in various ways. Some seek the company of Jewish girls with the avowed intention of marrying them. Others actually marry the girls, then force them to lead dissolute lives. Many of these young men, the paper says, marry dozens of times under various names and disguises. Prominent Jewish citizens of Chicago are making a determined effort to put a stop to this infamous traffic; and in our opinion the entire community should aid them to the fullest extent. Such doings should not be tolerated in any civilized country. The Richmond News-Leader frantically enquiries: "Will kind Heaven ever be so merciful and forbearing as to deliver the Democratic party from the follies of its representatives and from the eagerness of its newspaper supporters to give those follies prominence and endorsement?" THE APPEAL would like to know what in the world Heaven has to do with the Democratic party. 1930 --- Mary C. Sophie A. Nordhoff-Jung. Is the Woman Doctor a Success? By Sophie A. Nordhoff-Jung.

D.—Woman's Difficulty in Entering Foreign Medical Schools—Her Final Triumph. (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) (Dr. Sophia A. Northford-Jung was born in Germany. Desiring to study medicine, she came to the United States and took a thorough course in the science in Washington, D.C., and then in John Hopkins hospital in Baltimore. Later she studied in the Pasteur Institute in Paris and was an assistant in the Bandeloche hospital. From there she attended the University of Pennsylvania and an assistant physician at the Royal University Hospital for Women. Returning to Washington at the end of her studies, she soon took high rank among the physicians of that city.) The question whether a woman should be a physician finds its affirmative answer in the history of mankind. From time immemorial the care of the sick has been in the hands of women. To-day the only civilized nation which still opposes the study of medicine by women—Germany—could learn a valuable lesson by looking back into its earlier history. Not only in the land of the midnight sun, but likewise in the extreme south of Europe, do we find the medical woman mentioned in olden times. We hear of women physicians and surgeons in the ninth and tenth centuries in the then Arabian Spain. When in 1847 Elizabeth Blackwell, of New York, commenced to study medicine she was generally looked upon as a freak. The difficulties she encountered would fill volumes. Not satisfied with the honor of pioneer in her native country this intrepid young woman went to England and succeeded, after patient struggle, in the doors of British schools and hospitals to women in 1850. Another American woman was the first to enter the University of Paris, Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobb in 1868. Again it was an American woman, Dr. Klumpke-Dejarine, who held the first hospital position in Paris. This country was the first to have a hospital for women and children, founded and managed by women. The New York infirmary is now half a century old. For the last 20 years it has maintained a medical college. The Woman's Medical college of Pennsylvania has been in existence over 50 years and its graduates are an honor to the medical profession. Among its founders and teachers are names which will go down to posterity. Ann Arbor admits women and the Woman's Hospital Medical college of Chicago, many state universities, California, Michigan, Iowa and many other excellent schools furnish a thorough medical training to the woman of to-day. It was a proud moment when the Johns Hopkins threw open its doors to women. Many a blessing was poured upon the heads of our pioneers of 50 years ago. This country is called the paradise of women, and we can well understand why when we look around us and see the responsible and honorable positions which women fill in every state of the union. They are physicians and surgeons to hospitals and dispensaries, obstetricians in public hospitals and private charities. There is hardly a well-regulated insane asylum without its woman physician. Has the woman doctor been a success? Let the numbers answer this question. In 1850 there were eight women doctors in this country. In 1900 our number had swelled to 6,000. Switzerland admits women to the study of medicine on the same footing with men since 1864, and many responsible positions are filled creditably by them, especially in hospitals for obstetrics, gynecology and psychiatry. Since 1868 women have studied in France and especially in Paris. One has a feeling of equality with the other sex in lecture halls and hospitals of France more than in any other country, the United States not excepted. Great Britain has eight medical schools, four for women only and four where both sexes are admitted—Dublin, Belfast, Cork and the University of Durham in 'Newcastle-on-Tyne. When Cork opened its school, fears were expressed that mixed classes of men and women would be disadvantageous and that the admission of women would interfere with the good order and discipline of the school. Evidence on these points was sought from teachers in the Dublin and Belfast schools, where the experiment of mixed classes had already been made. The following answers were received: "Having been asked to express our opinion on the subject of the hospital education of women medical students we, the undersigned, having had some years' experience, wish to state that we have found no difficulties arise in teaching men and women together." This was signed by 23 of the leading Dublin physicians and teachers. From Belfast the reply came from Dr. Whitta, physician to the royal infirmary: "I must say that the fears you refer to were never for one moment realized. I never saw the presence of ladies in my class give rise to the least embarrassment or difficulty, either with the patients, male students or nurses, and as for myself I would willingly have half my class made up of such. At the college we have had no difficulty whatever that I know of. I have had them there in my lecture room and their presence seemed, if anything, to produce a very good effect upon discipline." The University of Edinburgh is the only one guilty of a retrograde movement. After having opened its doors to women in 1869 it closed them again in 1874 in a manner which reflects no credit upon that institution. The whole world knows what a civilizing agent the medical woman has been to India. In 1869 the first woman went out there to her medical mission and in 1896 there were 1,900 women working in 133 hospitals entirely managed by women. The number of patients treated that year was 1,054.387. By this time that number has almost doubled. Italy admits women to its medical schools since 1876 and no distinction is made as to sex. The queen of Italy has a woman doctor. Portugal's queen studied medicine in Paris and is the only crowned head who bears the title of M. D. In her country women study with men on equal footing. Emperor Alexander II, by an ukase in 1872, allowed women to study medicine in St. Petersburg, but another ukase in 1885 deprived them again of this privilege. Since that time numerous Russian students have gone to Switzerland and Paris to study and returned to their own country to practice. About six years ago a special medical school for women was opened in St. Petersburg. Scandinavia admits women to the study of medicine without reserve. In Holland women even hold professorships in universities. Catharina von Tussenbrock, a well-known specialist in gynecology, is a member of the examining board of the University of Leyden, and students who take their degrees have to pass her examination in gynecology. Austria has at last admitted women by a decree of September 3, 1900, a privilege for which they have been striving since 1878. Japan, wishing to keep pace with other civilized nations, has established a woman's medical college at Tokio. The family Mitsui gave the extensive ground and the citizens of Tokio subscribed $120,000. This short-review shows us that no country has done more for the cause of medical women than America, which ought to be justly proud of its achievements. We medical women of to-day ought not to forget that we are not, as is so erroneously stated, a product of modern emancipation, but we should realize that we stand upon solid historical ground. And if we have successfully fought for our position and look confidently into a bright future, it is because we have won back our good old right, which was placed for us in the cradle of man-bind.

TROPICAL PLANT THAT COUGHS. Way of Freeing Itself From Coating of Desert Sand. "I heard a cough and looked behind me nervously," said a huntsman, "for I was stalking gazelles in that lion colored waste, the Sahara desert, and, having gotten rather too far south, I expected at any moment to become a pincushion for the poisoned darts of the dread Touareg. "But there was no one there. The flat desert quivered in the sunshine, and here and there a dusty plant stood wearily. But though I commanded the landscape for a radius of fifty miles, not a living creature was in sight. "Another cough. I swung around acclly. The same plant, yellow with dust, drooped in the dry heat. That was all. "Hack! Hack!" "On my left this time. I swung around again. A like plant met my eye. The thing was growing rather ghastly. "As I regarded this last plant a cough came from it. Believe me, the plant coughed. It shook all over, and then, tightening up as a man does when he is about to sneeze, it gave a violent cough, and a little cloud of dust arose. "I found out afterward that the plant was the coughing bean, which is common in many tropical countries. In the long, dry-heats this weird growth's pores become choked with dust, and it would die of suffocation it not that a powerful gas accumulates inside it, which, when it gains sufficient pressure, explodes with a sound precisely like the human cough. The explosion shakes the plant pores free of their dust and the coughing bean is in good health again." THE FIREPROOF BUILDING. Non-Combustible Material Does Not Make It Fireproof. In defining what a fireproof building is, one should remember that a building that is of non-combustible material is not necessarily fireproof; that a building that is of fireproof materials but not of fireproof design is not necessarily fireproof; that a building that is not of fireproof construction and design, except in part, is not fireproof, and that a building that is strictly and thoroughly fireproof-but Defective Page Died. 'Hack! Hack!' mice with combustible contents may have a destructive fire in it, but the building itself will not be wrecked or destroyed. Correct design means the proper application of incombustible, non-damagable materials, and the arrangement of the parts of the building into such units that only a small proportion of the contents can be destroyed by fire. Fragment of Veal, Vidi, Vici History Recalled. The city of Paris owes its origin to the conquest of Gaul by Caesar. When this Roman general on his path of conquest came to the present site of the French capital; he found a swampy island in the river Seine, which was inhabited by a Gallic tribe called Parisii, who lived in huts made of rushes. Rather than be captured by the Romans these people burned their rude city, which they called Lutetia, or "mud town," and the great Caesar, quick to appreciate the situation, built a temple to Jupiter and a wall round the island. A town soon sprang up about the temple, and was named Parisii, after the ancient tribe. In later years this was shortened to Paris. W. M.

The Foster Mother Satisfied, Though Sometimes Surprised. Down in Delaware City, Del., a young mother dog, when she turned to lick her four newborn puppies, found they did not respond to her tender care. They had come into the world lifeless. They were her first born, and she was puzzled and grieved that they paid no attention to the soft caresses with which she strove to woo them to her. She finally ceased in despair, and, looking about her, spied a mother pussy, to whom a pair of healthy kittens had just arrived. Jealous and indignant she flew to the happy mother and seized and shook her till the cat fled in terror and did not return. Then the dog, taking the kittens tenderly in her mouth, carried them to her box and W. M. GIBBS THE WORLD'S FINEST ACTRESS It would seem as if every one who has read Mrs. Mary J. Holmes' delightful sketch of men, women and manners in the South, called "Lena Rivers", would waft to see the work in dramatic shape. In dramatic shape it has been placed and its success has verged upon the extraordinary. This is not at all wonderful, for the story was exceedingly popular, and the dramatization made of it is extremely clever and satisfying. Burt and Nicolai to present the play at the Grand for the week commencing tomorrow matinee, giving it with a carefully selected cast and with a production that is all that could be desired. All of the characters of the book are in the play, and so are the best of many good lines and odd sayings, which caused the readers so much enjoyment. Mr. Ted V. Armond's individual hit in the comedy is, as was to be expected, most pronounced. He is an ideal Joel Slocum and brings out the most sidelights in 'the little fellow's character with great skill. Miss Poynter, who plays the title role, is by no means a stranger here, as seen in many productions, and always proving herself clever and artistic. anoplast them as ner own. There were only two babies in place of her four, but not being able to count she did not notice the lack. The kittens accepted the situation, throve and waxed fat. But since they are older and have become playing their conduct sometimes astonishes their foster mother. For instance, when they chase each other up a tree she looks after them with amazement and solicitude, apparently reflecting that she never behaved that way when she was a puppy, and as soon as they alight on the ground again she seizes them in her mouth and carries them reprovingly back to their box. There are probably other surprises in store for her when she finds that their language, instead of being a bark, is a spit or a mew, but in the meantime she is happy and self-satisfied. The duchess of Wellington possesses the splendid service of Sevres made for Napoleon I., of which every single piece is different, the set being practically priceless. In the cellars at Apsley house is also the wonderful service of plate presented by Portugal to the Iron duke, which has been valued at two hundred thousand pounds. The centerpiece is five feet high, and four men are required to lift it on to the table. Deaf Mute's Breach of Promise. What is believed to be the first breach of promise case in which both parties are deaf and dumb is down for hearing before the Johannesburg high court. The plaintiff is a pretty Boer girl and the defendants is the son of the proprietor of the Grand Station hotel, Jeppestown. Gone but Not Forgotten "She has but gone before," said the minister, "and when you arrive she will meet you with the old sweet smile." "Don't you mean the old, hard rolling pin? I don't remember any smile," added the bereaved. Embarrassed, but Comfortable. "There goes Roxham. Every time I think of that man's financial embarrassment it makes me yearn to help him." "Financial embarrassment?" "Yes; he's got so much money he doesn't know what to do with it!" Competition. "How about taking our magazine? We give a plug of tobacco with a year's subscription." "That's no offer. A dealer down the street gives a year's subscription with a plug of tobacco." Vast Output of Quill Toothpicks. A toothpick factory near Paris turns out 20,000 quills annually.

"What is this?" she asked as she touched the fender. "Iron." "What is this?" indicating a bottle. "Glass." "What is this? and she touched her watch chain. "Brass," said one small boy, and she changed the subject. Used to Smoke in House of Commons. From a "Descriptive Catalogue of London Tokens," published in 1855, one learns that at one time smoking was practiced in the house of commons, for the author mentions a seventeenth century order that "no member do presume to smoke tobacco in the gallery or at the table of the house sitting as committees."
