Mme. Dodssvenny, now Mm* Shanvawsky, gave 50,000 r-bles for higher medical courses, and the min ister of war arranged to have them opened in connection with the military medical academy, i n 1872. They gave full instruction, in contrast with the initial experiment where the course was partial because it was felt that a woman should not be allowed to deal with one vitality important branch of practise unless she were very thoroughly equipped. These higher courses lasted for 10 vears, and during that period had 959* students, the majority coming from the “Privi leged classes, that is to say, not peasants. In 1877 2-1 students were sent to the seat of war, during the Russo-Turkish campaign, and did so well that they received imperial per mission to call themselves (after due examination) "women physicians,” and to wear a badge.—The Chautau quan. Hungry Women in Hospital*. It is a curious thing that hospital nurses should be ill fed, but they often are, and in many institutions. This is not intended for an accusation, but merely an inquiry into a state of things which many people who know about the workings of hospitals, most especially nurses in training, will echo, asking. Why? Possibly the reason that insufficient and unhy gienic food is too often the rule may be looked for in the fact that formerly sisters looking for hardships were the only ones who gave themselves over to these tasks of mercy. Fasting was part of the business of women who nursed the sick in the oid days, and possibly the notion uncon sciously that fasting is a good thing for women who bend over beds of pain. Whittier expressed this notion in the poem of the “Angels of Buena Yista,” the “noble Mexican women” went about on the field of battle after the fight, “worn and faint and lacking food.” It is poetic, romantic, in the old ! fashioned way, but it is not a bit mod ern, sustaining or comfortable. A hungry woman as an angel of mercy is not considered a scientific, or even a practicable, adjunct of a modern bat tlefield. When the Cuban war began the surgeon-general of the army warned the untrained horde of women, moved by sentiment or emotion, who wanted to go to Cuba as nurses to stay away. Only Clara Barton’s mod ern sort of angels of mercy who knew enough to keep themselves nourished on short but wholesome rations with out making a fuss about it were al lowed service, and these were in the disciplinary service of the Red Cross. System is the very open secret of the success, of that organization; hospit als in times of peace and in cities are of course run on system also, but it is a system that lacks organization on the food question. It is really queer that nurses in training, of all people, should not be fully and properly nourished, if for no other reason than to give them ob ject lessons in hygienics. To be hun garf- all of the time that she finds herself obliged to recruit her forces by pieces of food left upon the pa tients’ trays of extra-nourishing viands is not good discipline, physical or men tal, for the girls of today who are studying in hospitals are of thd most useful of the modern professions for women.—New York Mail and Express. fF© RVe/ViW'i^f Most of the linen frocks have gored skirts with shaped flounces. There is a chemisette of tucked white batiste. Equestrienne and automobile gloves come with deep, stiff gauntlets. The newest foulards are those with borders, and they are very charming. There is a yellow linen frock which is trimmed with narrow white silk bands. Some of the early models for linen gowns show that there will be a pro fusion of small pearl buttons used in trimming. A Dretty effect in foulard gowns is given in an attractive silk with a black lace trimmings. The result is excellent. There is a bit of blue at the neck to give a light touch to the gow-n. A beautiful tea gown of pink crepe de chine is a mass of plaits from the yoke or guimpe over which falls a deep collar of embroidered silk to the foot of the gown, where there is a ruffle of graduated width in the silk also embroidered. Turquoise blue and green make a more charming combination than would be imagined. A shirred tulle hat of the mushroom variety is raised off the face by soft choux of white flambeau silk, while the edge of the hat is out lined with a WTeath of dainty green leaves. A most stylish tea gown is of dotted black silk muslin, the dots half the size of a penny and set at wide inter vals. There is a bolero of black lace with stock and a guimpe effect of stripes tnade with insertions of lace. The sleeves to this very stylish gown reach to the wrist. The whole thing is made over white silk. In Paris they are making lace roses But why? The exquisite silk and vel- ' vet flowers shown now are the nearest I approach to the beauties of nature that one could expect. Also in Paris they are making hats with black vel vet b’-irns and loose, puffy crowns of colored tulle. Around the crown is a velvet band, terminating in a good sized bow r .

AVild Animals and Catnip. A curious investigator and a few sprigs of catnip led to an amusing scene at the Zoo in Central Park, New York City, recently. The tigers and the puma scornfully refused to notice the herb when it was presented to them by the keeper; but the lion, the lionesses, and the big leopard were boisterous in their mani festltations of pleasure. The lion planted a foot upon it, smelled it, licked it, sprawled upon it, and tossed it about in ways unbecom ing his kingly dignity. The leopard picked it up in her huge paw, took long and ecstatic sniffs, and rolled over and over upon it in the exuber ance of her delight. In her efforts to apply it to the upper part of her head, she performed acrobatic feats of an astonishing kind. From this experiment the investiga tor was satisfied that love of catnip is not confined to the domestic branch of the eat family. Tlie Mystery of Sound. Sound is one of the simplest things in the world, and yet to many persons, young and old, it is one of the most mysterious. Tell them, for example, that the fall of a tree in a forest makes no sound in itself, and they smile incredulously; or, if they believe you, they confess that they cannot understand it. When you say that the presence of some person or some thing with ears is absolutely es sential to the production of sound they seem unable to grasp the idea, and contend that the fall of the tree does make, and cannot help making, a noise, which is there, all the same, whether there be anybody to hear it or not. But they are w r rong, of course, for there is no sound except in the ear. In the making of a sound there are three essential conditions. Let us take this illustration of the tree in the forest. It falls and strikes the ground. That is the first condition. Its striking the ground sets the air around it into violent agitation. That is the second condition; but there is no sound yet, only a series of vibrations through the air, spreading out in every direction from the fallen tree. These vibrations, it must be remembered, are not sound. They are only the factors that produce it, and they cannot produce it until the third condition is supplied, w-hich is the tympanium, or drum, of some body’s ear, against which they strike, and thus makes a sound. Sound, therefore, is nothing but the striking of air vibrations against the drum of the ear; it exists only in the ear, and cannot exist out of it. The conditions that produce it exist out of the ear. but the ear is absolute ly necessary to complete it. A City in Which There Are No Horn*. W hat American boy or girl ever saw- a city that did not have more horses in it than one would like to count? Horses of all kinds and sizes, from the pretty little Shetland pony, the pride of his young owner’s heart, up to the strong, heavy horses that pull the great rumbling loaded down wagons through the streets of the busy city. Why. there are so many horses no one thinks anything about them. You cannot walk down the street or even look out of your window without see ing some of them. But there is a city in far-away Italy, across the wide At lantic, where there is only one horse, and this horse is considered such a curiosity that it is kept in the public gardens. People there visit the gar dens to see this horse just as you, per haps, visit the zoo in Lincoln Park to see the lions and bears. But how do the people in this city get along without any horses? Well, the city is Venice, and, as you no doubt know, this city is a very won derful one in some respects, for it is built upon many small islands, and its streets are the canals between the islands. Water here takes the place of streets of earth and stone, and boats take the place of horses. How funny it would seem to go to school in a gon dola, as they call their boats tfierei Venice seems like fairyland at night, when the principal streets or canals are lighted up and the dancing waters reflect the many colored lights of the pretty gondolas that dart over the wafers. Some of the buildings are tall and beautiful, and as you look at them from a distance they seem to rise right out of the water. If you ever go to Venice be sure to call to see its one and only horse, for that is a noted personage there, and one not to be slighted. And you may be allowed to ride around on its back, as children in New York City and Chicago ride on Lhe backs of the elephants and camels In the parks.—Chicago Record-Herald, j The l ug Kel. “Just one more story. Undo F:ank,'* begged Beth, “something about when you were in Alaska." Uncle Frans deliberately took oat his watch. “I —I’m alraid it’s time somebodv I know was in bed.” And he looked mischievously into Beth’s dark blue eve s. “And a bed, too, more elabor ate than one I had mountain climb ing.’' he added. Beth knew by Uncle Frank’s twinkle that ho was going to tell something interesting, *f it ”-asn't a story. “Was *t one that folded up against the wall, like those they had when grandpa was a boy?” asked Beth, curiously. “No, ’twas one I carried on my hack; and it buttoned-up! ” Beth looked incredulous at the Idea of a “buttoned-up bed.” “Yes,” continued Uncle Frank, amused at Beth’s mysterious expres sion. “'Twas made of skin, like a bag, lined with very warm wool, with a flap that contained an air-hole made in it. This we could unbutton when ever we wanted to go to bed. We had to crawl in feet first. Then we would button it up, and sleep like a dog till morning. And I guess we looked more like a log than anything else in our queer, round beds.” “My! I’d like to have one to sleep in,” exclaimed Beth. “Well, you'd need one if you were on a snow-covered mountain, where the wind blew a gale for hours at a time. A tent would hardly stand such a blast for a moment, but in our hag beds one was safe and snug as you'll be in 10 minutes. Good-night!” And Beth ran upstairs to dream of the queer little beds so often used on the Alaska mountains.—The Christian Register. Furry with \Vinr*. It was a troublesome question! No wonder it proved too much for Puss cat’s little mind to settle. Pusscat’s mind was only about as big as your little doubled-up fist! It was covered over with pretty silky black fur, and there were two big pointed ears prick ing up on top. This was the question. Why is it good and clever to catch little furry things with four legs, and naughty to catch little feathery things with two legs? If here were four feet, Pusscat was patted anil praised and called a nice kitty and a good mouser. Some times they gave her milk to drink, for a desert, after she had eaten up the four-legged thing. But, if there were only two legs, it was all very different. She wasn’t al lowed to eat it at all. They took it away from her and hid it; and, if she showed it to a certain person, she had her ears boxed, too. Sometimes the smallest person cried, and all the per sons scolded and called her a bad cruel cat to catch the poor little bird. Now wliat was it that made such a difference between the things with two legs and the things with fouj-? One kind—the furry kind—had lifT’le round ears, to be sure; and to be sure the other kind—the feathery kind — had big wings. The furry one had a nice long wriggly tail, while the feath ery one’s tail was flat and stiff, and not good to eat. But both the things tasted very nice, and both were hard to catch. Pusscat thought upon these ques tions a great deal, especially when ever the persons boxed her ears; but she never succeeded in understanding it. Still, as the family always made such a disagreeable fuss about it, she learned to be very particular in her proceedings. Whenever she caught one of the four-footed furry kind, she brought it up on the veranda and was very proud of it, curling her long tail and purring and step-stepping with her forepaws. But if it had but tw-o feet and was feathery, she carried it under the hedge, out of sight, and ate it up as quickly as she could. Somehow the family found out about this practice of Pusscat. And one day, when Pusscat came in at the gate with a thing in her mouth, they all came out on the veranda to watch her and see what she would do this time. Puss cat started up the path; but she trotted slower and slower, and soon stopped short. Then she turned and looked toward the hedge, and after a moment started to go that way, then stopped again. Then she laid the filing dovn on the ground, and stood still and looked at it. She w-as thinking. She wa3 wondeiing whether she had better risk los:'rg the pleasure of showing her prize or risk having the prize taken aw-ay from her. It was the worst puzzle Pusscat ever had had. She started first, one way, then the ether way, several times. At last she came on tow ard the veranda, but very slowly and all ready to run away like a flash, should she iirrd she had made a mistake. When she laid the thing down on the top step, the family saw just w-hat the trouble was; and how they all laughed at poor Pusscat! No wonder poor Pusscat was in a puzzle! It w-as a furry thing, so it must be right to catch it. But it had wings, also, s probably it was naughty to catch it. When she tried to setjje the matter by counting is legs, she found it hadn’t any legs at all! It was a bat. And a bat has soft fur like a mouse; but it also has wings. The family laughed at-poor bewildered Pusscat. And then the smallest per son took her up and carried her around to the kitchen and gave her a big saucer of milk, because, she said, a bat couldn’t be good to eat. But Pusscat ate both the milk and the bat.—Edith Frances Foster, in Little Folks. Hoiii'-tliing to He Thankful l or. Bill —When a dog wags his tail, what is it a sign of ?

On some coasts the si-a gains steadily, on others the land. In still other regions the issue is wavering or doubtful, but the sea is easily victor on tne west coast of France. The whole of the west coast of France suffers greatly from the fury of the waves, which make continual encroachments on the land In some districts the shore recedes as much as a yard ner year. At Annis, where there is a more resisting limestone formation, the recession is only a foot a year. Even the frowning gran ite cliffs o f Brittanv are gradually be ing undermined by the breakers and toppling into the sea. Loss of fertilizer from rains cannot l)e estimated. Tne water courses carry millions of tons of plant foods to the sea. The Nile alone pours over a 1000 tons into the Mediterranean every 24 hours. The annual loss from the earth’s soil is greater than the entire deposits of guano, even before they were exhausted. Unless a large por tion of the fertilizer is reclaimed from the sea a time may come when the world's average yield of crops will he exceedingly low. All snakes lay eggs. Some snakes hatch out their eggs before depositing them. Thus there is a distinction. The egg layers are said to be oviparous, the others viviparous. Viper, indeed, is derived from that reptile’s supposed habit of producing its young alive, but no matter what the species, every snake egg, as soon as formed, begins to hatch. Thus it matters little as to when or how they are extruded. Barr ing accidents, there is very sure to be a fine brood of young snakes at a very early date. While the young snakes are very small the mother reptile guards them vigilantly. Upon the approach of imminent danger she opens her mouth and lets her young run down her throat. The United States coast and geode tic survey has organized a special bu reau charged with a magnetic survey of the whole country, including Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands, and Porto Rico. Some 500 stations have been already occupied and the mag netic elements —declination din and intensity—have been determined. Other special stations have been es tablished t which these observations will be repeated from time to time in order to determine the secular varia tions of the elements. Magnetic ob servatories of a permanent character will be established at Cheltenham, Md„ Sitka and Honolulu. Anew edi tion of tables and charts of magnetic elements is in course of preparation, and the whole field of a magnetic sur vey will be covered within a reason ably short period. A scientific partv sent out by the United States geological survey will travel by dog sledge over Alaskan ice bound for the Koyukuk river, 700 miles long and one of the two largest northern tributaries of the Yukon. Some miners in 1898 found pay dirt up this river on the gold belt that runs through Alaska. A large camp is there now, and the miners are doing well. Some distance below the mining camp the Altenkakat tributary joins the Koyukuk, and here a large supply of provisions was cached last summer for the use of the exploring party that is just starting out on its journey. This party is to travel from the mouth of the Altenkakat to the shores of the Arctic ocean. It is a virgin field for explorers. The main purpose is to look for new- gold fields, which, it is believed, may exist in the unknown re gion. The geology of the country will also be studied and geographic fea tures delineated. The results are like ly to be very interesting and valuable. An Automobile for Farmers. A Coloroad man has invented an automobile for the use of farmers, and. it is said, it w-ill do the work of several teams of horses, says Electri city. The motive power for this ma chine mav be either gasoline or elec tricity. It is adapted to plowing, cultivating, seed planting or harvest ing. The engine or motor is on the forward or drive wheels, which are joined bv a long reach to the smaller rear wheels, over which the seat of the driver is placed. A large trans verse bar, about six feet in length, crosses the reach-bar at its centre. To this transverse bar the plowing, cultivating and other applances for farm work may be attached. Avery important feature of the in vention is a mechanism that allows the ooerator to apply the whole pow er to any one of the wheels, thus making it easy to get the wheels out of any rut or hole in which they may get stuck. The wheels may be oper ated entirely independent of each other and hv an ingenious steering de vice the farm “auto” can be turned within a very small compass. Beinarknble Well lSoring. A piece o f work in boring a well is reported from ’England that has not many parallels, if it is matched else where at al l The place where it was done is Gainsborough, hole was begun nearly six years ago. Down to 321 feet is was lined with 36-inch pipe, and then for 286 feet more with 30-inch pipe. When the hole had reached a depth of 721 feet tin April, 1897), an accident happened. The boring tool, weighing Nvo and a half tons and se cured to a tcv and r half of cable, got stuck. In tryi.vt to loosen 5* the rope broke, and 500 feet of it sank down over the tool, filling up fully 300 feet of the well. The self-made man never apologizes for himself. f zg.FQR 'W ——-- ' A Pretty Accordion-plaitcd muslin in any of the delicate colors makes a pretty lump shade, mount) 1 none cardboard and tied around at the ten with a satin ribbon.

In every house when there are children there should be a remedy cup board. 1 do not. mean tie ordinary medicine chest, with innumerable bot tles huddled together, but a well stocked emergency chipboard, easy of access, and containing simple reme dies for the many aches ami pains of childhood. No household is conducted without an occasional accident and a bruise; a burn or an ugly cut are all of frequent occurrence when there are children. If there is a place where one can always find some soft medi cated cotton, bandages of different widths, absorbent gauze and a bottle, of some antiseptic solution, it will prevent the frantic nmr.ng about when such articles are needed, and save to the little sufferer many throbs of pain. To be thoroughly satisfac tory, the emergency oupboa and must ho kept in perfect order and systematical ly arranged. For instance, in •no compartment keep the every day reme dies for coughs and colds such as quinine, listerine, for gargling, croup kettle, atomizer and a compress and flannel bandages. The best treatment for a bruise is to apply soft cloths wet with hot water, and if the contusion is very painful a little laudanum may be added to the water. To extract a splinter from a child’s hand, fill a wide-mouthed bottle half full of very hot water and place its mouth under the injured spot. If a little pressure is used the steam in a few moments will extract the splinter. Before bandaging a cut, wash it thoroughly with some anti septic solution. When it is perfectly clean bring the edges together and hold the place with warm strips of adhering nlaster. Leave a. space be tween them for the escape of blood, and apply a dressing of absorbent gauze. When the wound is entirely healed the plaster may be easily re moved by moistening at first with al cohol. The Stinging pain of a super ficial burn may be instantly allayed, by painting with flexible collodion, white of egg or mucilage, if the skin is broken apply a dressing of boracic acid ointment or vaseline. —Trained Motherhood.
