LADY PHYSICIANS. A St Louis doctor factory recently turned out a dozen female doctors. As long as the female doctors were con fined to one or two in the whole conn try, and those were onlv experimental, we held our peace and did not com plain ; but now that the colleges are engaged in producing female doctors as a business, we must protest, and in so doing will give a few reasons why fe male doctors will not prove a paying branch of industry. In the first place, if they doctor any body it mu9t be women, and three fourths of the women would rather have a male doctor. Suppose those colleges turn out female doctors until there are as many of them as there are male doctors, what have they got to practice on ? A man, if there was nothing the matter with him, might call in a female doctor, but if he was sick as a horse, (if a man is sick he is sick as a horse,) the last thing he would have around would be a female doctor. And why? Because, when a man has a female fumbling around him he wants to feel well, lie don't want to be billious or feverish, with his mouth tasting like cheese, and his eyes blood-shot when the female is looking him over and taking account of stock. Of course these female doctors are all young and good-looking, and if one of them came into a sick room where a man was in bed, and he had chills, and was cold as a wedge, and she should sit up close to the side of the bed and take hold of his hand his pulse would run up to a hundred and fifty, and she would prescribe for a fever when he had chillblains. Oh, you can't fool us on female doctors. A man who has been sick, and had male doctors, knows just how much be would like to have a female doctor come tripping in and throw her fur-lined cloak over a chair, take off her hat and gloves and throw them on a lounge, and come up to the bed with a pair of marine blue eyes, with a twinkle in the corner, and look him in the wild, changeable eyes, and ask him to run out his tongue. Sup pose he knew his tongue was coated so it looked like a yellow Turkish towel, do you suppose ho would want to run out over five or six inches of the lower part of it and let that female doctor put her finger on it to see how furry it was? Not much. He would put that tongue up into bis cheek, and wouldu't let her see it for twenty-five cents admission. Wo have often seen doctors put their hands under the bed clothes and feel of a man's feet to see if thVERTI§INO HAIFA, One square, one insertion, 91; each anl«« qnent insertion, CO cents.

NO. 3S TACT. It was once Causeur's good fortune to spend a few days in the modest home of a friend of slender means, a home that was all that its owner could afford to make it, yet lacked many things that would have made it moro comfortable and convenient. During Causeur's stay two guests were enter tained at tea, both of them men of means and wide acquaintance, accus tomed to all the luxury that wealth can give. But they were widely different in their behavior. The first dwelt up on the fact that the house was in an out-of-the-way spot and that there were few or no neighbors At the-table he told of the delicious tea he had drank at the house of one friend, of the rich tea-service he had seen upon the table of another, of the rare old China that was used in his own household, and of the dainty meals he had eaten from it. In the cramped little sitting-room after tea he sat by the stove and talked of the delights of an open wood fire, of his enjoyment of rare and costly books and pictures, aud of the twenty other things that the host, of whose hospi tality he had partaken, did not and could not possess. When he had gone it was clear, although nothing was said that bis visit had caused pain, that it had made the wife feel her straighten ed circumstances more keenly than ev er and cast a shadow over her hus band's thoughts. Tho next evening came the other visitor. He brought good cheer in his very face. The room, he said, felt so warm and comfortable after his walk which, be added, was just the thing to give a man a good ap petite for supper. At the table he spoke of everything that was nice, con gratulated his host upon having such a snug little home, apologized for eat ing so much, but could'nt help it, be cause it was "so jjood" and tasted so "homelike," liked the old black teapot because it was just like the one his mother had when he was a boy, and told bis hostess, who was all (miles and happy as a queen, that she ought to thank her stars that she had no gas or furnace to ruin the flowers that made •her room look so cheerful. After tea he insisted that the children should not be sent to bed just yet, said he wanted to tell them a story, as he did; and when he had done, and had kissed them good ni&rht, they trudged off up stairs with beaming faces, under the guidance of a mother who felt that o real ray of sunshine had entered her home, making it better and happier. PASTE DIAMONDS. The Providence Journal, which comes from the vicinity of immense cheap jewelry factories, has the follow ing on "paste diamonds," which are simply glass of great purity : 'When imitation diamonds were in- • troduced, it was found that to cut glass precisely like a diamond did not produce the sparkle characteristic of the diamond; therefore to secure this tho flat surface on the top of the dia mond was made pyramidal on tho imi tation, and, of course, ended in a point. By certain laws of light this pyramidal surmounting of tho glass provided for tho required distribution of ray surface to produce the diamond sparkle, or something akin to it. A real diamond is never cut with tho pointed apex, and hence it was possible always to dis tinguish tho real from tho spurious. But after a time tho buying public learned this little circumstance about tho cuttiug procosß. and other means were resorted to. Tho glass was cut precisely like the diamond, and the sparkle was givon to or provided for it by a coating of whito foil auplicd to the lower sido of the glass The set ting of many diamonds is arranged in such a way that the buyer may see the under side of tho gem. This was over come by arranging tho settting as to prevent inspection of this kind, which could not be done unless the stone was dismounted, if wo may use that term. "With these facts known to the buy er of diamonds, he need not be deceiv ed except in the Utter case, where tho stilting hides tho under surface, and if he hits any doubt about that he can let it alone. But the object of imitation diamonds is not to deceive buyers ; if it was they would not bo offered for two dollars. No one, however defici ent in diamond criticism, need be de ceived iu buying diamonds. No deal er of any repute ovor attempts to sell imitation for real diamonds. No repu table man over thought of it. His rep utation and occupation would soon bo gone. There are very few persons who buy trinkets who do not test their wares at other than tho buying place, particularly if the gem is a costly ono, and it is certain that no ono was ever presented with jewelry of presumable worth who did not set out at once to learn its purity and value, and very disappointing it has doubtless been to find in some cases that the gold or dia mond was only brass or glass." Mr. P. T. Quinn, market-gardener, who has tried fifteen different mixtures or decoctions for tho cabbage-worm, prefers twenty parts of gypsum, three or four of quicklime and ono of carbolic acid, sprinkled thinly over tho loaves vhen wet with dew or rain, repeating the application as often as necessary, which may bo a number of times. It has been tho practico of tho Inte rior Department to hand each Indian reservation over to the religious teach ings of ono particular denomination, so that the converts became Methodists, Baptists, or something else, purely ac cording to chance and never from choice. This is now to bo changed. Under tho new arrangement the Ro man Catholic Church will go into the field with a large force of priests. A compound is described for the preparation of what are termed safety envelopes. That part of the envelope covered by the flap is treated with a solution of chromic acid, ammonia, sulphuric acid, sulphate of copper, and fine white paper. The flap itself is coated with a solution of isinglass iu acetic acid, and, when this is moisten ed aud passed down on tho under part of the envelop, a solid cement is form ed, entirely insoluble in acids, alkalies, hot or cold water, steam, Ac.
