is; WOKEN DOOTOBS. Yl •Dr. McLaaghlln on Women a* Physlclann. At the opeaioij of the Tofomo Women's Medicftl College Xhartidiky Dr. MoLsaghiin, a lady phyBioian, delivered »â-¡ iatereatiag address. Sbe appuared in acoademio robe and hood, and read her address on the aab- ject, " Shoald women engage in the stody and practice of medioine ? " Dr. Mo- Laagblin is a gradaate of the Woman's Medical College and a vaiaed and capable member of the teaobiog facalty, and for this reason, no doabt, her worde were listened to with all tbe greater iaterest. In opening her addresd Dr. MuLaagblin referred to the fact that women h«d become lawyers, artists, editors and even preachers of the Gospel, and asked if there was any good rea.ton why they shoald not become doctors as well, The flret objection Qsaally raised was that women had not the capacity, bat this ahe showed to be a wholly aafoonded aKsumption by referring to known and admitted fsats. She cited first the case of the Woman's Medical College in London, the gradaates of which ranked high in the honor list of the University of London, there being among their namber two gold medalists. Taming then to America, which she char- acterised as the laud of liberty and pro- gress, the land in which women's work and women's power to work was more folly recognized than elsewhere, she said that in this, as in other matters iiitcllectaal, Boa- ton led, the first Midioal College being established there in ISiS New York and Philadelphia and other places followed, and the gradaates of these colleges had made for themselves reputation and even fame. It waa said that women physicians were not wanted. Bat in some coautries men physicians were not wanted, as in Oriental countries, where a mtle physician, having a woman for his patient, was not allowed even to see that patient, and was obliged to Ereacribe as best he coald without seeing er. Bat in aach cases women pbysioiana woold be allowed to see their patients. Considerini< the immense field tbas await- ing the work of the woman physician, it was absard to say that woman physicians were nut needed. Bat even in oar own coantry the need tor female physicians was great. Mod^^sty, the greatest virtae in women, sometimes stood between ths aiok woman and care. There were many cases on record of women who had for years endured the most exoraciatiog pain rather than consult a physician because that phy- sician was a man. Women woald confide to women what they woald never confide to men. Why not then give to women the edaoation neoessary to enable heron receiv- ing these oonfideuces to cure the disease which made them necessary ? Th«* there was the great world of childhood, which also had Its manifold forms of di tefj^A woman can gain the confidence oCTr â- rek child as a man could not do, and if she had the kuowledge and skill of a phytieian she oould do more than a man to tffeot a .^pre. It was objected that the contact with dis- ease and the study necessary to a physi- cian's edaoation made a woman callous and robbed her of the sympathy which was her chief charm. But was there any per- son who, in the common ways of life, had â- o often to deal with sickness, to admin- ister the bitter draught or pill as the mother of a family ? Did such experi- ences make the mother harsh or rob her of her sympathy for her own ? Were there any who saw more of the horrors of war than the angels of mercy, the narses in the hospital and the field ? And yet were there any who mani- fested such keen >iid constant sympathy with the sa£fering ? Could it be said that the study of nataru woold make women disregard or forget the God of Nature ? Woman was naturally religious, and in this women had one qualittoation which would make them all the better physicians. The sympathy of woman for woman gave the female physician means of eS-cting oarea in eases which a man o aid not understand. A man having a wi>manfor a patient might oonclude that the caeo was one of nervoaa strain caused by overwork of the brain. But a woman physician would p'obedeeper, and would find the cause of auff«ring to be some hidden sorrow or unhappiness, and by her symuathy would do much to effect a cure. The need for women to enter the medical field was lireat ; the capacity of women to work in that field would not but be admitted, and the lecturer concluded that the work of educating and training women for this noble profession was one which must result in good. Died lu a Fit. Thomas Chadwick, a msn of about forty- six years of age, came hero (rom Hamilton when the new abop» were opened. He was a fitter by trade and when in Hamilton shops he was frequently taken with epileptic fits while at work, but when he came here the change seemed to do him good, and up to about a month ago he euj .yei com- Earatively good health and freedom from is old malady. During the past month he was taken bad agaiu and laid off work. He was able to be about and yesterday, while oroesiig the Dominion hotel, jiist aaross from the depot, he was again taken with an epileptic at'.ack. He was taken to his home, ju!)t a tew doors away on Dowaie street, and a doctor seut for, but before the medioal man arrived he was dead. â€" Stratford Herald.

A BBDHKADBD DBADEnAD. A Bonnie Scotch Lass Travels Abroad to Kacape a Whlpplnc. Little Maggie Stewart, now ia the care of Agent Stocking, of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, is in her own way as math of a record breattar aa the City of New York, in which she oame to this coantry about two weeks ago, ssya the New York Timet. Maggie's specialty is deadhead travelling. She came from Ellenburgh, Scotland, by way of Greenock, Belfast, Fleetwood, Manchester, the Isle of Man and Liverpool, without paying a a cent of fare, and was aapported all ihe way ' by well-to-do people whom she amused. Maggie is nearly 15 years old. She ia short and stockily built, with red hair and a face unrelieved by prominent featares. In Ellenbarg the girl has a father and mother, two brothers and one sis- ter. The family were poor, and Mag- gie's services were let out to a woman named f rootor, who did a retail milk busi- ness. Maggie was ona of the carriers. One day she fell and broke her pitcher. Mrs. Procter threatened to tell her father, who was sure to whip the girl. The latter started for home, but decided on the way to take French leave of her family. She got on board a train for Glasgow, eaoaped the guard's notice, and when she got to the city took another train for Greenock. Other passengers shared their lunches with the little girt. Nobody had the heart to put her off. So she drifted to Belfast and then to Manchester. Without any idea whsre she was going, she boarded another train, which left her at Fleetwood. There she took a sailing vessel tor the Isle of Man, but at onoe c*me back to Liverpool on another. Wandering about the dociui, hungry and a bit deapondeni, Uttle Miss Stewart saw a steam tag, which aeemed about to pull out into the dark waters of the Mersey. There were several families abroad with little children. Maggie is fond of children. She went, too. Kaob of the other passengers thought she was a nurse girl employed by some one else. The tag reached the City of New York, which was about to start for America. The passengers were hurriedly shifted to the steamship. Maggie was among them. She played with the infants, made herself generally agreeable, and ended by following a lady into the second cabin. She waa taken care of. Arriving in New York ahe wandered to the residenoe on Park avenae of the lady who had protected her on the way over. There she was kept for 10 days and then tamed over to Agent Stocking. He says the pauper immigra- tion law will hardly apply to a second cabin passenger, and, aa be thinks Maggie is not bad, but only restless, he will try to find a home for her on this si ie of the water. Ue haa heard from her father, who is not at all anxioua to have the girl oome back. She will be kept for a tew days at the society's rooms m West 'iHzd street. m OrlnklDc Uore Whlskej. The Quebec W.

For blankets, piano coverings and similar purposes, the paper fabrics are an established success. They are light and serviceable. D*. George Tbenius, of Vienna, has invented a process for the manufacture of leather from red beeohwood. The best wood for the pur- pose ia taken from &0 or 60-year-ol(l trees, cut in the spring, which must be worked up immediately, bark peeled off, steamed, treated with chemicals in a kettle ander pressure, and exposed to several more operations, which the inventor does not mention, as he wants to have them patented. From the prepared wood strong and thin pieces are made by means of heavy pressure. The inventor states that a solid sole leather can be obtaiDed, which he claims ia superior to animal leather in firmness and i'.urability, and can be worked up in the same way as animal leather, nailed and sewed.

BK TUBNJED THE TABLB8. How a Olaver UnclUlimiui ObluiueU a Seat In a Crowded Ballway Carriage. " Will yon kindly allow ma to stand '/" aaked a gentleman, as he got into a rail- way carriage, which carriage already con- tained the specified number, aaya the Lon- don Court Journal. " Certainly not, air l" exclaimed a passenger occupying a corner seat near the door. " The way theae trains are over- crowded ia sbamefal I" " Aa you appear to be the only person who objects to my presence," replied the gentleman, " I shall remain where I am." " Then I shall oall the guard and have you removed, air." Suiting the action to the word, the ag grieved passenger rose and, patting his bead out of the window, vociferously sum- moned the guard. The new comer saw his opporianity and qaietly slipped into the corner seat. " What's up '?" inquired the guard as he opened the carriage door. " One over the namber," replied ths new comer, coolly. " Yoa must come out, sir : the train's going on." And without waiting for far- ther explanation the guard palled out the aggrieved passenger, who waa left wildly gesiiculating on the platform. The Ban-tu-KTcr/tblofj; FiuaUj. (By Kao.tooiaa.; The Ran-to-£verything family may be toond in nearly every village and small town in Ontario, bat they are found in the largest numbers in places populated by the third or fourth generation of Canadians. Negatively considered, the Bun-to- Everythiog family are noted for not liking their home. Like Sam Jones, they bate a quiet time. It kills the members of this family to stay long on one spot, especially if that spot is around home. They cannot read. Thinking is an exercise never known in the family. They have nothing to think with. Their conversation oonaiats of a few common -places about the last thing they were at, or the next place they are going to. Positively conaidered, the principal cbar- aoteriatio of ths Run-to-Everything family is that they run to aomething every eveninu and often daring the day. You may always count on seeing them at everything that is free. The Salvation Army supplied a long- felt want to these people. Now they can go to the barracks every night when there is nothing else to go to. Heretofore they were not sure of ii place of reaort for every evening except when apecial services were going on in some of the churches. Old Mr. Ban-to-Everythiog ia not a bad old man in the sense of being vicious. In fact he has not energy enough, or brains enough, to do anything brilliant for the devil. His strong points are loatiug in public places and talking to little knots of people about affairs. He is always found in Court, especially the Police Court. He attends ccuncil meetings, and meetings of all kinda regularly. Next day bis chief employment consists in addressing other citizens on the poiuta discussed at last night's meeting. Nothing pleases him so much as to gather a little crowd around him and have a discussion about affairs of State. The old man has always bad a weakness for taking care of the Empire. Indeed he has been known to devote his whole time to public affairs when his wife was unable to leave her room and the chil- dren had tfae measles. So devoted a public servant is old Mr. Run-tcEverythiug that be would go to a political meeting or an I indiunation meeting on the Jesuit ({aestioo rife were seriously ill and there was lite to eat in the bouse or a stick to the stove. Such devotion to public esarves a sound â€" kicking. Mrs. Kun-to-Everything is the best r of the family. Had ahe gotten ng like a stjuare chance she would ade an excellent wife. Mar-ied to in clod, ahe soon became i.iScour- (i discouragement sank into despair. )d woman made two serious mis- tnd these mistakes were made at points. The first waa in marrying nan, and the second in allowing her 1 to contract the habit of running to ing when they were young. Of t would not be easy for her to keep dren at home when their father set example before them, bat abe did Like many another mistaken „ she thought that the only way for tJren to enjoy theaelvea was to go toe. The possibility of having a le at home never occurred to her. Idren grew up to think that they 'nappy only when they were on the My ran. 'To them life was worth :iy when there was some place to go night. Their homo waa a kind of r house in which they rested be- ans. ZiaO'to-Everythiug, the eldest son, a bid kind of a fellow in his way. 'Oybood the village was small and as almost nothing to run to, and he contract the habit aa badly as the • members of the family. With a kining. Bill might have become a ouDg man, bat it is impossible for ig useful to grow up in a Kan to- bing family. The younger boys ,,„. -^ their time by running from school and to everything that came along, frrm Barnnm'a circus down to the last Jog tight. Shows of all kinds, matches of all kinds, races of all kinda. Crowds of all kinda were always and everywhere patronized by the boys of this family. The boys soon became about aa useless as their father. The girla of the Runto-Everything family ware the most useless of all. Their mother thought they could enjoy them- selves only when they were going some place, and, motberlike, she worked herself halt to death to let thum go some place. The result was that they knew nothing and conld do nothing. Their oharacter- iatica were small talk, an inane c'.giile, and a weakness in the upper atory that would make it rather dangeroua for them to oome into the vicinity of an idiot asylum anywhere near the time that a female patient had eacapoj. One of the worst things abont the habit of running to everything is that it makes a family cheap, and cheapoeas hurts a family as much as anything on this side of downiight wicked- ness. A young man who rates himself cheap need never be surprised if his employer rates him in the fame way. A young woman who rates herself cheap need not wonder if her neighbors take bnr at her own valuation, or perbapa a trifie ' lower. There is nothing, we repeat, on ' this side of immorality that will cheapen a famfly or an iudividoal faster than running to every kind of a meeting, every kind of an entertainment, every kind of a show that can ba got .- ins country village. ' Far be it from aa to say that anybody should shut himself up and live the life of a hermit. That is the other extreme. Between running to everything and going to nothing there ia a golden mean, as there always is between extremes. At thia sea- son of the year judioioua families will, as far as practicable, arrange for giving a cer- tain number of evenings each week to church duties, a certain number to social duties, and aa many aa poaaibla to home pleasurea and mental improvement. Public men will find any arrangement very aiffi- onlt, but the effort, yes, even the desire, to make such an arrangement will do them good. A course of reading for the winter should be included in every plan. More anon. â€" Canada Presbyterian. A TKBBIBLE TBAGKDT. Kurder and Sulvlde lu a Pablio (iufdeu lu Suotland. On the morning of the 20th ult. Mr. George Todd, marine inspector, visited ('addlehill Gardens, there, to look after his plot. While there he looked into the aum- mer honae and waa horrified to jee the dead bodiea of a man and a woman. An alarm waa at once given, and the police appeared on the scene, when the body of the man waa fully identified aa that of Andrew S Walker, aon of Mr. Walker, coal merchant, and the female waa recognized aa Miss Holmea, a young woman who resided with her father, John Holmea, joiner, on Mearns street. The pair, who were regarded aa .iweethearts, were seen entering the gardens on the previons evening, and the tragedy bad been enacted soon after, as when foand the bodiea had the appearance of having been dead for several bones. The girl was found lying on her back oc a seat in the summer house with a bullet mark through the left side of her bead. Walker was on his knees, dead, on ths door, with hia left arm lying upon the aeat and hia right hand resting upon her breast. In his right hand waa a six chambered revolver, two of the chamhera being empty. He had abot himself in the mouth the bollet passing out through the back of the head. There ap- peared to have been no struggle, and from Ihe position of the bodies it was evident that Miss Holmas had been first shot and afterwards laid upon the seat, with some- thing in the shape of a pillow below her bead. On committing the awful deed, which was probably done immediately ont- side the summer-house, and after laying her on the seat, Walker would seem to have gone oataide and gathered some flowers and then neatly arranged them over her breast. This must have oocapied some little time, and when that ia con- aidered it ia evident that the deed had been premeditated. Be tbia as it may. Walker, as stated above, ^iropped on his knees be- side the lifeless body of hia sweetheart and shot himself in the month with the revolver. Both of the young people were Sabbath School teachers, and were much beloved by all who knew them. What led to the tragedy cannot be even guessed at in Greenock.
