As Maryland is one of the states in which women are excl ded from the bar, sbe will have to practice the profession in some oilier state. It matters not . how high she may stand in her class, sne is debarred by the stern dictum of the law that a woman is inhibit ed fivm practising at , the bar. Al most, every other fiefd of endeavor, including that of medicine, is open to her, but when it comes to the law, . only the male sex has the call. The Baltimore Sun, in commenting on this stale of affairs,says; “The old v gnlations Imre lingered on till the in dug of this century, piobably i ,itier because there has been no special demand for their repeal than because of any determined opposi tion. If a proposition for their re peal should come before the next legislature, us we trust it may, it does not huciu likely ibnl it would be bjj|!t'i»«d by any considerable portion of the bar or by any member of the judiciary.” TAPPHb TNK A\«K*TK\I.

Weller, ot Savannah, at the Kaleigh, according to the Washing ton Post. “I have witnessed its tre mendous strides as a commercial center of the south with great pleas ure and gratification, but for myself, my people before me were cotton planters, and I have lieen content to follow in their footstep*. "I kuow no news that would inter est you, but I eau tell you of the narrow escape one of my dear friends and companions had from carrying into his home circle the curse of a violator of holy tradition. The gen tleman after the death of his first .wife married a maiden lady, the daughter of a house famous in the history of the southland. She is a most estimable person, and is much oppo ed o the use of liquor. Among the relics she had brought “from her old home on the occasion of her marriage was a bottle of French brandy which had belonged, it was said, to the son of Govenor Ogle thorpe, her anoesc. A violent storm arose one night recently and she called her husband to fasten the shutters of the house, which wdre flapping noisily. He did so, but when he raised the window a gust of wind swept in, wetting him to the skin. My friend had provided him self with a drop of comfort, but had consumed this and was at a loss for a preventive against odd uutil he thought of the ancestral brandy. He went to the pantry, found the pre cious bottle, and discovering that he had only pajamas on when he reach ed for his corkscrew, impatiently broke the neck off ehe sacred bottle, and took a big swallow of the excel lent liquor it contained. Shortly af ter his return to his bed room, iiis wife sniffed suspiciously and said she smelled ‘spirits.’ My friend assured tier that it was purely imagination, until she suggested that n> her belief the bottle of French brandy of her ancestor had been blown over by the storm and was broken. My friend leaped from his bed at the sugges tion, rushed to the pantry, took an- Hyspeptics cannot be long lived ol |, er k r g drink, poured all but a because Ac live requires nourishment.

A very curious device has bean in vented, by which it is possible U> de termine how many times the eye .moves iu reading, and how fast the movements are made. The otfjidt .of the instrument is to show in what cases reading is hurtful to the eyes, and thus to prevent shortsighted ness and fatigue In a tset of the in- str .ment recently made the results were curious. A man’s eye was first made insensible' to pain by an ap plication of liolocooaiue, and then a light shell, with a hole in the cen ter, was placed on the eyeball and ill Id to it by suction. The shell was connected with light aluminum lev- vrsSn such a way that the eye move ments were traced on a moving spoonful.of the precious liquor re maining into his pocket flask, and then returned to his wife with a con flrmation of her fears. Thus was domestic peace maintained. The slot machine has called into existence iu Holland quite n new class of merchants, namely the half peuny .merchant. The existence of this-new kind of money broker is due to the increasing scarcity ot the 2^ cent piece, a scarcity which may be throned a veritable famine. Of the slot machines, the automatic gas me ter is the. principal delinquent, and the widespread use of this class of inachjue all through the country is said to have made the business of the half-penny merchant quite a lu crative one. The .2|.-cenl piece is- the largest of the minor coins, and al though M util email says that it “is provided in abundenee,” still the thrifty habits oi the Dutch house wife of paying for the gas as .she re quires it has upset all calculations, and the demand for the coin lias be come greater than the supply. In the meantime the mint authorities BSFUCTIOM Of A BACH BLOB. Prom the New York Press. If they had no neighbors to talk about probably all the frogs would learn to sing like canary birds. There never was a housecleaning when a man didn’t lose something that he had to go right off and buy another of. It is only a step from curl papers at the breakfast table to a combing sack at luncheon and old shoes in the evening. Every woman starts out in mal ted life with an idea that her “in stinct” will always tell her when her husband is lying. The first two years she is married a woman acts sorry for old bache lors; after that she spends the time feeling mad, imagining that they are acting sorry for her. There are just about as many marriages caused by misery as there are miseries caused by marriage. It’s a curious thing that you can never see h6w fat people can possi bly be happy, and yet- you never see any that look miserable. The Venus of M>l° was probably a mighty good looking woman, but the women that are shaped that way nowadays do the best they can to fool other people. Professional Cards- DR. S. J CHESNtJT.

Conditions such as bad food, bad air, excess in foods and drinks, de fective drains and the like, are all parts of what we may call the en vironment of disease, Rays the Scots man. They weaken us and lay us open to germ attack. They may not cause disease in themselves, but they cause our bodies to be favorable soils wherein disease may flourish ai d grow. We say that a house with defective drams is liable to cause headaches, sore throats, dtptherin, typhoid fever and other ailments. What we really mean is that breath ing sewrage gases and living over filth foundations weakens our gen eral health and brings about a stale of body favorable to the successful attack of whatever germs we may swallow or inhale, We weaken the resisting power of our frames, and fall before the attack of tho microbes, which otherwise, if in good health, we are capable of resisting. No body supposes that a child is born with consumption developed in its lungs, even if its parents are con sumptive. Bnt it is born with weaker lungs than the child of healthy folks; that is, its lungs are more liable to harbor the microbe of the disease than the lungs of a healthflv-born child. Agan, a man with strong lungs, while he inu6t inhale the germs of consumption very frequently, as we all do from the air, does not acquire the disease. But let him suffer with a severe cold, he is then laid open to attack. The c ild weakens the lining membrane of his bronchial tubes, and the germs inhaled, not resisted and killed by the body’s cells, settle down and de velop disease. The lesson to be learned is the duty of fortifying our bodies, of scrupulously attending to our general health, and of thus re sisting disease attack. Once ac quired, disease will run its course, and the doctor’s services are then requisite to favor in every way the body’s battle against its invading foe. J. E.
