A writer in the Princeton Review says of Helen Hunt Jackson: No one loved beauty more than she; no one could depreciate the body more when it began to lose its freshness. For strong young men in their prime, for blooming girls and mature wo manhood, she had an admiration ns frank and almost as unqualified as a Greek’s. But her very, adoration of physical loveliness made her peculiarly sensitive to imperfec tion and the dismal accompaniments of sickness. In her own case, when accident brought infirmity upon her, it was received at first with a shudder ot disgust, a kind of quick, impulsive seorn, of which, perhaps, only noble natures are capable. She spoke of her illness as “a career of disgrace.” It was not, probably, for the loss of creature comforts, nor even the long train of afflic tions which it entailed; these she could endure; they proved, in fact, a field for the exercise of a fortitude which was little short of heroic. Health meant liberty, its loss an endless series of restrictions affect ing her activity and the free play of her intelligence. She resented them as some thing outside of herself, which deserved only contempt and chastening. Her soul, 1 she thought, could lift itself above them— was above them. Throughout her suffer ings she kept her sunniness of spirit, her serenity and elasticity. And she continued to work, and think of work. This, indeed, was an integral part of her creed. To idlers and dilettanti she had always turned a cold shoulder; they had no place in her scheme of things. If her antipathy assumes at times a humorous form, it was none the less real and deep-seated, it would have gratified the most rigid econo mist to have heard her set forth this the sis of life as a period of active production. She rejoiced to call herself, and be called, a working woman; there was no better title under heaven to her sense and her life was a long enforcement of the belief, a fruitful illustration ol how it could be practiced with dignity and success. The discussions in the papers of late upon the subject of marriage and the many complaints of the laws regulating the financial relations in the married state has provoked a good deal of discussion. In the Atlantic for this month Frank Uay- lordCook writes about “The Law’s Par tiality for Married Women,” and insists that in the tardy attempt to give women some show of justice in regard to their property sentimental legislators have gone ! too far and done an injustice to the hns- j band. The injustice, he thinks, lies in the provision that a man’s property is liable lOr the support of the family and that of ; the woman is not. He thinks that when a ! woman owns equal property with her hus band she should be forced to contribute nearly, if not quite, half of the family sup port. He disapproves, also, of the provis ion by which women are entitled to the entire fruits of their labor or of any busi ness they may engage in, fearing that they may be tempted to neglect the care of home and children to engage in undertak ings the proceeds of which they may keep entirely for themselves. Mr. Cook wants the law to protect husbands from that privileged class—wives. It really seems as if something should be done to protect them; they are exposed to many dangers of extortion and neglect on the part of their partners in matrimony. To the can did mind it does seem hard that a man can’t divorce his wife when he gets tired of her without paying for her support. It places great and undesirable restraint upon the ease and frequency of marriage and naturally discourages a man from marrying a person whom, as a return for merely bearing him children he must care for throughout life. Mr. Cook rightly re gards with an anxious eye the perils to which his sex are exposed, and treats with proper indifference the fact that nearly one-half of the female sex labor at occupa tions outside of the natural care of the ■children and household. It is true that there is as yet no indication on the part of women of a desire to hoard their property and earnings, but if not restrained by drastic legislation it seems probable to ! Mr. Cook that they are likely to develop the tendency. A lot of young girls in Western New York have hit upon a very original and sensible way of spending their vacation. They were girls just out of school, or with but a year or two more of study before them, and bent upon making the very best physical and mental use of their time and faculties. They were sure not to do that at any fashionable watering-place, so instead they hired a cottage big enough to hold all seventeen of them comfortably at the appropriately named place. Eden Cen tre. Their Eden was brim full of “the fairest of her daughters Eve,” but notan Adam was admitted. There these sensi ble young persons took practical lessons in housewifery. They did all their own work, cooking, washing and baking, and even tucked up their fresh little print frocks and tried their hands at milking the cows with very fair success. But seventeen pair of hands made light work and there was plenty of time left for picnics, long t ramps, botanizing and sketching expeditions, ten nis and boating, with music and dancing in the evening, besides the production and reading aloud of several very profound and learned essays and thrilling theatrical recitations. These girls spent several Sim,"n„ ai V S Jounml: Kate Chase ?wim IS ■Resented as saying of wo- J 1 ' ?' "hi do whatever they want Whenever they want to vote thev H. 0 , power upon earth wiil stop them.” Chief Justice Chase, her lather, spoke in a nobler strain: “Sav everywhere for me that I see. no end to the good that will collie from woman suf frage, on the elections, on the elected, and on the women themselves.” Will not the Boston Herald and other papers that re- pcirt with glee what purport to lie the words of the daughter, give equal promi nence to those of her illustrious father?

M’me Brea’ Practice brings to her many distinguished persons of both sexes. Besides being a salaried physician of the Theatre Chalet, slit- writes ably on medical subjects and is admired for her social gifts. ' Mademoi selle is perhaps tile most distinguished of the remaining women physicians of Paris, and she makes a specialty of diseases of the brain. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was asked to write an article entitled "The Pleasures of Age.” She replied, “I will write the arti cle you ask for.

The country is Hooded with lingua medicine men, and in a few eases, a heavy capital is all they have to sustain their prestige. Numerous ; cleverly concocted certificates are forced upon the unsuspecting, purporting to have "snatched from I the grave" some poor victim of blood poison, or i other disease, when to our know ledge, ttie identi cal persons lay groaning in agony while the pub- lie were reading of their remarkable recovery. Another serious offense is the publication of erroneous statements concerning various drugs, such as are daily prescribed by our best phy sicians, declaring them to be deadly poison. Iodide of potash, which seems to receive their ' greatest condemnation, when prescribed by phy sicians, and in the proper combination With ccr- j tain compounds, is not only harmless, but forms i one o the most powerful antagonists to blood poison known to tile medical world B.

The value and the success of women physicians have long been manifest. The Philadelphia Times says there are eight Avomen physicians in that city whose an nual practice averages $20,000 each, twelve Whose income averages above $10,000, and twenty-two who average $5000 each. And yet women who have sought to enter the medical profession in Philadelphia have met with more opposition there than from any other city in the country. The oppo sition came from the male physicians. They claim that women could never tic- quire skill enough to deal with a fever or a fracture. Besides, they feared to have -their field invaded by women. Possibly they had a latent fear that women might make a success of the profession. This has proved to be the case. There are now 2500 women with first class diplomas from medical colleges, and their success in this field is acknowledged on all .bands. There are women M.

WONDERFUL ULCERS. Atlanta. («a., June 5, 1886. In 1878 there came on my hand what was I thought to be a carbuncle, which ran its course several months, broke and finally healed. The : next spring knots, or knodes, came on my arms, which were thought to be rheumatic, anil 1 took gallons of medicine from the best physicians in Cutlibert, (in., where I then resided. About this time my left limb below the knee ! commenced swelling at a fearlbi rate, anil finally | came to a head and I rokc. Both arms were sore, 1 and I could hardly hear my weight standing, anil hardly know how 1 managed to live through it : all. About this time we moved from Cutlibert to Atlanta 1 began to despair of ever getting i well; tin* sore on my limb was *i regular eating | ulcer, now about three inches in length, two inches in width, seeming to be down to the bone 1 and discharging about a cupful of pus matter ] per day, my arms still running, my sleep dis turbed, and 1 sometimes thought 1 would lose my reason. A friend recommended B. B. B. I commenced its use, and I saw an improvement from the very - first. I have now taken 8 or if bottles, anil my I arms are entirely well, anil the large ulcer on my limb has healed. I now feel like a new person, thanks to such a noble remedy, B. B. B.
