Tr. Moaner, Just appointed professor
of hygiene at Ann Harbor, Is the first
woman upon whom a full professorship
has been bestowed there, although the
Institution was opened to women by tne
legislature thirty years ago. Jn noting
this fact the Chicago Times-Herald
iiuestlona whether the Vnlverslty of
Michigan is not u little late In recogniz

In domestic service they constitute 38.23

mechanical Industries they comprise a

"Women's progresses rendered more

wanl. lu 1870, for example, only one
woman architect was found In the coun
try; in 1890, 12 were pursuing that
profession. In 1S70 there were no women
classified us chemists, assayers or met
allurgists; in 1890 there were 46 in
these occupations, 'Women do not ap

There were no women surveyors or-en-(,'lneers

shows 127 under the heads of civil, me
i liunlcul, electrical ' and mining. In
1S70 there were no women practicing
veterinary surgery; In 1890, 2 are found.
To this extent there Is Innovation,
while the expansion of woman's sphere
yf activity in pursuits which she had
entered twenty years ngo is still more
teiiuirkable. In 1870, 412 women were
recorded as artists und teachers of art;
In 1SW) the figure Is for this branch of
.thelr Industry 10.810. In 1870 there were
24 women dentists. In 1890, :!37 were

ment officials, federal, state and local,
was 414; for 1890 the total Is 4.85, in
'creasing,' undoubtedly, every year. In
,1870 the number of women engaged in
leaching was 84.047; in 1890 It hud risen
to 245.061, and the statistics furnished
recently hy the bureau of education
show that the percentage of illiteracy
in the United States has fallen propor
tionately as to states accordingly as
,the proportion of women engaged in
teaching . has Increased. In 1870, 527
women were licensed to practice medi
cine and surgery; In 1S90 the number
was 4, Ma, and this year, with the annu
al Increment in the decade from the
colleges, the total is fully 5,000.
"A curious fact shown by th census
of 1890 Is that there is not an occupation
fallowed today by men in the United
States from which women are alto
gether abaent, with two exceptions, sol
! tilers and marines, and from these they
are excluded by federal law, if not by
the law of nature and humanity. There
arei women locomotive engineers and
firemen, women fishermen and oyster
men,, women quarrymen, women wood
vhoppers, stock raisers, herders, drov
ers, gardeners, bartenders, barbers, sa
loonkeepers,, real estate agents, commis
sion agents, bankers and brokers, hack
men and teamsters, hostlers, merchants
(wholesale and retail), sailors, under

builders and contractors, butchers,
cabinet makers, carpenters and Join

marble ana stone cutters, millers, mold

plasterers,, plumbers, shipbuilders, pot

wood workers. '
It Is surprising, therefore, that even
At St. Louis men should be found to

Rev. Anna Shaw has been lecturing
on "The New Mun" and like every
thing else that she says or does, her
lecture Is well worth the hearing. It is
noted however that Miss Shaw does nut
set the date for the appearance of this
new creuture. The Philadelphia Press
reports the lecture as delivered In that
city. It says that she predicted that
the new man will neither smoke, drink,
sweur nor gamble. He will do none
of these things because "he will be pre
eminently a man in the development of
his physical organism and will indulge
in nothing thut will degrade his bodily
development." Miss Shaw had seen
it written that a man should not smoke
until he was "0 years of age. If the
new man follows this rule she thought
that ut that age he would be married
to the new woman and that assertive
femule would then see that lie never
indulged in the weed. As the result of
this abstemiousness Miss Shuw foresaw
an lncrcuse In the stature of the race.
"There will be giants in those days."
The. new man "may be u champion bat
ter, or even a football player," but he
will Indulge In these sports entirely as
pastime und during seasonable hours.
As a logical consequence professional
nines will become n thing of the past,
and the heavy hitters of today will be
known only as myths. Miss Shaw
was very earnest on this point, and
scoffed at the idea of paying men more
to play baseball than to work.
The new man Is not to he an effemi
nate creuture, lie Is to be "a lit mute of
the rit-w woman." He la nlso to be

clasping: her hand with a hand as pure
as her's." The new man will also be re
ligious, although he will pay more at
tention to his life than he will to creed.
He Is to be a manly man, but tender,
true, and loving. His intercourse with
man is to be that of brother with
brother. He is also going to be a
brother to the new woman. Miss-Shaw
intimated that the sisterly racket on the
part of the young women should be off
set by something of the sort she Indi
cates. The new man in business life is
going o be benefited by the new busi
ness woman. He will no longer have
to spend money in buying cigars und
drinks In order to close his bargains,
f6r the female drummer 'will do away
with such methods.
Says the Allentown Chronicle: "The
decision of a Scranton judge that a
wife has the right to club her hus
band over the head with an umbrella
will prove of paramount Interest to
every wife In the city of Allentown, as
well as to husbands and to every mer
chant In this city who deals In umbrel
las. The old-fashioned way and one
which has always been recognized in
well-established families lu Reading
was for the poor down-trodden wife to
bang her husband over the head with
a rolling pin. This was a clear viola
tion of the statutes and a husband has
the right to claim the protection of the
law If his wife comes home from a meet
ing of the sewing circle and wants to
restore the peace and preserve the
family honor with the aid of so diaboli
cal a weapon as a rolling pin. In this
city the rolling pin is somewhat out of
date among our more fin de sclecle
wives. We know a woman In this city
who had occasion to reprove her hus
band for falling to sew a button on her
dress when she ordered him to. The
husband had the temerity to talk back,
when the partner of his bosom grabbed
a bis; plump, over-ripe, warm lemon
custard and shoved it right in his face,
after which she took him and threw
him head foremost in the sour-krout
barrel. This, however, was an extreme
case.
"Whenever the Society for the Pro
viding of Chest Protectors for the Sene
gamblana meets one of the most fruit
ful subjects of discussion is 'What Is
the proper weapon for the correction of
a husband.' The subject has never
been satisfactorily settled. Now that

would not be surprised to see in the
near future some of our more enter
prising merchants advertise a special
brand of umbrellas as particularly
adapted for the chastisement of incor
rigible husbands. Something like this,
for instance: 'We have Just received a
large invoice of umbrellus, which we
can conscientiously recommend to mar
ried women. They are fitted with pistol
grip handles, extra strong wire ribs and
covered with stout t-loth, warranted not
to tear. The ferrule of the umbrella Is
covered with a pad so that fatal acci
dents are not liable to occur.' This is
us it should be, for tt would be a pity to
break up a $5 parachute pver the head
of a $3 husband."

SOME SHORT STORIES.
Cat and Philosopher.
Sir David Brewster looked upon the
whole canine race as imbued with
probable hydrophobia, while cats, he
declared, gave him an electric shock
each time one entered the room. A fa
vorite cat having been Introduced Into
the old house, It one day trotted into
the forbidden precincts of the philoso
pher's room, looked straight at him,
jumped upon his knee, put a paw on
each shoulder, and klsedhlin as dis
tinctly as a cat could.
He was so surprised at her audacity,
and so touched by her affection, that
he quite forgot to ferJ the electric
shock; his heart was won from that
time they were fust friends, and every
morning the cat's breukfast-plate was
replenished by his own hands. One
day she disappeared, to the unbounded
sorrow of her master; nothing was
heard of her for nearly two years, when
pussy walked Into the house, neither
hungry - nor footsore, made her way
without hesitation to the study. Jumped
on the philosopher's knee, and kissed
him exactly as on the first occasion.

There Is a French story of some
travelers In Africa who, while on an
exploring expedition, ran out of sup
piles. By chance they came upon a
native hut, but it was empty, and the
only visible edibles In It were several
strings of mushrooms, suspended from
the rafters to dry. For lack of anything
better or more substantial, they stewed
these and made a meal of them. After
awhile the owner of the hut, who was a
powerful native chief and warrior, re
turned from a hunting expedition, and,
having greeted the explorers In a
friendly manner, set up a wild howl
of despair.
"What Is the matter?" asked the ex
plorers. .
"They are gone. My'evll spirits have
stolen them," wailed the chief.
"What are gone?"
"Those, those:" shrieked the chief,
pointing to the cut cords on the raf
ters. "Why, no evil spirits took them,"
said the explorers. "We ate them."
The chief seized his stomach In both
hands and rattled the bones Inside his
skin. "Ate what?" he gasped.
"Those dried mushrooms."

warrior, or words to that effect, "why

Cincin lati's Great
Welsh Tenor.-
Biographical Sketch
Other Timely Notes
Cincinnati Is pre-eminently a city of
musicians and teachers, and none are
more famous in the country at large.
Much of the prominence of our city
as a music center is due to' their ef
forts, which are still Increasing in the
advancement of this feature of the
city's growth.
In this lssue we present a brief bio
graphical sketch of David Davies. our
resident tenor, who is a native of
Waenfergy Farm, Talsarn. Cardigan
shire. South Wales, where he first saw
the light of day .May 3. 1855. At the age
of l:i, with his widowed mother and
thretr other children, all younger than
himself, he came to Cincinnati, and
from that time, while hardly more than
a child, becamo the main support of
the little ramilv. On his arrival In this
country he still spoke his own Welsh
tongue, but at once embraced the oppor
tunity offered him in our public night
schools, of obtaining a good Kngllsh
education, while he applied himself to
a mechanic's trade and soon became
well-known as an industrious and
skilled artisan.
He had already developed a passion
ate fondness for music, and was known,
in his small circle of Welsh friends, as
possessing a magnificent voice. He
had as yet acquired no knowledge of
the art and did not until after his twen
tieth year, when, at me persistent re
quests of his musical comrades, with
shrinking modesty, he presented him
self as a pilot I to Professor Carl Paltol,
then a resident teacher In this city.
The professor, on hearing the promis
ing voice, at once exclaimed: "Young
man, there in money in your throat."
The ambition of the youthful vorallut
was soon arouaed. and in the autumn
of 1877 he returned to his native coun
try and entered the University of
Wales, at Aberystwlth, where for three
years, with hla characteristic assiduity,
he studied the arts of vocalism, har.
mony, counterpoint and composition,
under the celebrated master. Dr. Joseph
Parry, one of Oreat Hritaln's foremost
musti.-ians.
During the latter period of his uni
versity course he first appeared In pub
lic, singing In oratorio and miscellane
ous concerts in London and many
prominent places In the principality
of Wales, and returned to the United
States In the summer of 1880. as the
tenor of Dr. Parry's Concert company,
traveling with them through Pennsyl
vania and Ohio. In the winter of 1880
Mr. Davies established himself as a
teacher of singing and harmony in Cin
cinnati. Me was at once elected direc
tor of the Cincinnati Welsh Choral
society, and accepted the position as the
tenor In the Plum Street Jewisn Syna
gogue (which position he still holds),
and also at Trinity church, Covington,
under Professor Bush Foley, where he
remained until Faster, 1884. At that
time, on the organising of the surpltced
choir of men and boys at St. Paul's
church. In this city, he was Induced to
accept the position of tenor soloist.
With this choir he Is still Identified, and
Its success has been largely due to his
faithful and Intelligent Interest. He
has now many engagements in ora
torios and other concerts in this coun
try, and hus received the responsible
appointment as adjudicator of Welsh
competitive eisteddfods In I'tlca, Pitts
burg and other smaller cities. In the
summer of 1884 again visiting Wales,
he fulfilled an engagement as tenor of
the Madam Antoinette Sterling Con
ceit troupe. David Davies' voice Is a
strictly lyric tenor of manly, resonant
quality, and the pure ease and even
ness of his tone, the finish of his phras
ing and expression, and his wonderful
clearness of articulation betray his fin
ished schooling; and intelligent concep
tion and taste. In refinement of mind,
heart and manner he represents the
ideal musician.
The striking- modesty and Integrity
nf his character, and the kindliness and
faithfulness of his friendships have won
him unwonted social popularity, while
as a teacher his conscientious interest
in his art and his puolls have ever In
sured him well-merited success.

Owen Gljrndwr's Radgo
The sale last week at Christy's, for a
paltry seventy pounds, of what is
known as "Owen (llyndwr's Badge" Is
another argument in favor of a Welsh
National museum to preserve such rel
ics of Cymru Fu. As already reported
In the Western Mall, this "badge" is
described as "a pendent of oval form,
with a rock crystal egg In the centre,"
and measuring four inches by three,
mounted in a silver gilt frame, beau
tifully chased with ornament." This
badge is supposed to have been won
by the great Welsh chieftain, and It Is
also stated that Owen Ulyndwr founded
an Order of Chivalry, of which the egg
a mystic symbol of bardlsm was the
recognized badge. The author of "Owen
Tudor" describes the badge as "an or
nament which appeared like a large
hen's egg of frosted silver, hanging by
a massive chain of the same metal,
wide enough to compass a man's neck."
This opens up a wide field of con
jecture, and it would be at once inter
esting and instructive If further light
could be thrown upon this theory. The
badge which Olyndwr Is said to have
given to his faithful follower, the Lord
of Penmynydd, Anglesey, and by him
handed to his son, Owen Tudor, the
grandfather of Henry VII, Is described
as being so constructed that, by press
ing a secret spring the silver shell
opened in halves, and that within his
cavity was hidden the horoscope which
the Welsh magician -"who could call
spirits from the vast deep" had him
self cast away for Owen Tudor. This
prophecy was written on "a square
piece of parchment of about a hand's
breadth, covered with lines, and embla
zoned figures of the signs of the Zodiac.
Some verses in a neat small hand filled
up the margins." The verses are thus
rendered Into English In "Owen Tu
dor": "Arthur's blood, of Tudor's line,
Royal stars above thee shine;
If the weaver work their rays
In a woof of answering blase!
Brave and haughty shalt thou be,
Kloquent fierce as liberty!
The wilful harp shall laugh or weep
Beneath thy fingers' mastering sweep.
Yet beware the Sons of Bong.
Lest thou do or suffer wrong!
Beware when in th rsultrv si-ales,
The Lion paws, or Virgo pales!
Else fear not thouah Snow. Ion leap.
And srythrs of lightning red corn reap;
Though Danger, with his gorr-i-lumped
hair.
Cross all thy paths, do thou but dare!
Thou hast but to dure, to do!
Only where thou weddest. woo!
Woo no dmighter but a King's.
Sweetly though the mermaid sings.
And sous of kin its thy sons shall be.
Kings of the waves and freer free!"
The subsequent romantic career of
Owen Tudor, his entanglement with
Hut-line de Troye, his wooing of Cath
erine of Prance, and subsequent mar
riage to her on the death of her first
husband, Henry V. Owen Tudor's rival
In love and war- and the ascent of the
velsh chief's (rrundson, Henry VII., to
the throne of Kmrla nd these are too
well known to the student of Kngllsh
history to need further comment.

duced to get a copy. I tried to read
It. but found It as difficult as the els
teddfodlc "awdlau." But 1 am not a
poet or a bard, and cannot, therefore,
extract the nectar which more fortu
nate mortals are enabled to do. But
I can understand the following verses
from a carol by Alfred Austin, which
bear. In my humble judgment, a strong
affinity to poetry:
"We pile the logs, we troll th stave,
We waft the tidings wide and far.
And speed the wish, on w ind and wave.
To Southern Cross and Northern Star.
Yes! Peace on earth. Atlantic strand!
Peace and good will. Pacific shore!
Across the waters snett-h your hand.
And be our broth.., more and more!
Blood of our blood. In every clime!
Itace of our race, by every sea!
To you we sing the Christmas rhyme,
l-'or you we liglifthe Christmas tree."

Notes.
Mr. David Jenkins is going to rapture
London by song. In addition to having
his "Psalm of Life" selected for the Crys
tal Palace festival in July next, he has
the anthem, "Lord, O my Soul," chosen
for the blir Welsh church gathering at
St. Paul's 011 St. David's Day.
An Influential committee of thoroughly
representative men has been quietly form
ing of late at .Yferthyr with the object
of giving practical expreslsoit to the sat
isfaction given over a wide area of South
Wales and Monmouthshire for the late
honor bestowed by the queen upon Sir W.
T. Lewis, bait. The predominant opln
Ion has been that It should take the form
of a bronze statue, to be placed-In some
prominent place at Merthyr Tydfil, the
worthy, baronet's birthplace.
"Owyliedydd" of the Western Mall has
this to say of the "Dryck," our only
American Welsh newspaper. He lashes it
because It advised the Welsh neocle of
America to take sides with America
against Oreat Britain. "1 am sorry," he
says, "that an old paper of the standina
of the Dryvh should endeavor to inflame
the feelings of the Welsh people against
the Kngllsh nation, for Kngland is the
friend of the Welsh (u! ryfygl and
never does any harm except, It
may be. throuah ta-noraiu-e." Mr.
Owyliedydd Is evidently a new born
"flat." Should such a thing as war ever
occur between Rutland and Atnerloa. Mr.
Owyliedydd would soon find out that it
would not be necessary tor the Drych
to Inflame the feelings of the Welsh peo
ple of America against the English na
tion. The American Welshman is a loyal
American eitzmi and nothng would
plesse him better than to shoulder the
gun against tyrannical Kngland. Mr.
Owyliedydd possesses monumuirtal gall.

(Prom tliedthaca. Herald.)
Our representative, hearing of tha
ease of Mrs. II. T. White, called to see
her at Seneca and Plain streets. We
publish their conversation in the fol
lowing Interview:
"Mrs. Whtte, I hear you have some
thing to say about a new remedy for
backache and kidney disorders. Will
you give me your statement for publi
cation?" "Yes, I am quite satisfied to do so. I
think tne public should know when a
really good remedy is to be had, it Is
the least I can do in gratitude for my
recovery."
"Tell me about your complaint."
"About a year ago I had the Grippe,
and since then my back has pained me
constantly in the region of the kidneys;
a dull pain at times, and at other Inter
vals, sharp, darting pains piercing
through me, were almost unbearable.
I seemed to be giving out as the pain
in my kidneys grew worse, and at last I
had to stay In bed the greater part of
the time. Finally, I gave up altogether.
I had terrific headaches, and suffered so
much pain my appetite left me."
"Did the disorder affect the bladder?"
"Finally it did. The urine was highly
colored, and varied In suppression and
excess. I often1 told my friends I be
lieved I should go Insane from the pain.
I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills, and be
gan their use. After taking them two
or tVree days I began to feel their good
effects. 1 continued, and now am per
fectly well."
"Am I to understand that Doan's Kid
ney Pills have entirely cured you?"
"Yes, that's the truth. I have no
more headaches or pains, and my ap
petite has returned. Before using
Doan's Kidney Pills 1 found it very try
ing to go up and down stairs, or to
sleep on my back: but now I can do
so without a single pain, I feel com
pletely cured, and 1 wish the manufac
turers every possible success."

CAX THIS BE POSSIBLE
Have flen and Women Been drawing

"Men are generally supposed to be
h .Wronger and women the weak
It was a professo -onnected with one
of our leading cc ges who recently
made this Strang remark. He ez
Plained it in the iol.owlng words-
"But Is this reahy the fact at the
present day? Isn't It more true that
the two sexes are l th deteriorating in
trengtl, and vitality? We live more
rapid, wearing liv than people did
fifty years ago, a are showing the
terrible effects of n health and con
stitution. If you :bt my word, try
to think of how y people you hear
complaining of t' feelings and other
miserable symp' that show they
are suffering ir ionic form of dis-fa8,?-
,XU wl" l,ny b "urprlsed
. n" how ",ul u c'n remember."
That the profe; is right, and that
these dangerous a ptoms are far more
common than we generally suspect
seems to be clearly-proved by the opin
ions of many people who speak from
actual experience. The following is a
case In point:
Mr. F. VV. Whiting, a prominent gen
tleman well known In connection with
the telephone industry, recently said:
"Yes. we fin Ilea t,i .nMu. xr. M
ceed and accumulate wealth, but we
exnausi ourselves in doing it. The
average American spends the first half
pf his life in acquiring wealth and los
ing health, and in the last half he
spends his wealth to regain hla health.
I know this from my own experience.
The pace at which 1 did business nearly
killed me. A few years ago -1 was
nervous, Irritable and fun down. I
longed for life and yet did not care for
it. 1 dreaded death, but living was un
desirable. I saved my strength, used
good judgment and took Warner's Safe
Cure regularly. I have found It to be
Indispensable to my health and happi
ness. Do work? Tea, hard every
day, and I believe all Americana can do
the same thing, regardless ot the cli
mate, competition or social demands. If
they will act upon my suggestion."
It should be remembered that the
great remedy above described is not a
new thing or an experiment. It la a
scientific preparation which haa stood
the test of years. It Is universally
recommended and prescribed by emi
nent physicians. There is nothing like
it for making weak men and women
strong and well. If you are in need of
such a remedy, will you not try It?
