and yet withal picturesque and artistic.

Dr. Grace Fairley Robinson, M. 8..
Ch. M., hail the honor of being the first
woman in Australia to become a gradu
ate of a medical school, taking her degree
a< bachelor of medicine and master of
surgery of Sydney university with dis
tinguished honors. It has been recorded
of this enterprising and persistent young
woman that she never failed in an exam
ination aud was always first among com
petitors, being the first of her sex to
achieve such a brilliant distinction in
her studies through the difficult course of
Sydney university.
This achievement may not seem diffi
cult in America, where women doctors
with brilliant records are the rule instead
of the exception aud the girl medic is
"DR. GRACE."
cheered on by her fellows during the
course of her studies, but Elizabeth
Blackwood had another story to tell,
for she, too, was a pioneer in the move
ment here.
A brilliant musician, a French scholar,
a student of mythology and orientalism,
with a charming personality, the highly
successful "Dr. Gi'ace" suddenly aban
doned all studies and employments out
side of her medical practice to pore over
the pages of a cookery book. It was sup
posed that the dietary of her patients
was the impulse, but when she became
the wife of Dr. I'aul Boelke, government
medical official, whose interests are
equally and sympathetically her own, the
secret was out.
When "Dr. Grace" finds her health giv
ing way under the stress of her duties iu
Australia's metropolis she goes with her
husband, "Dr. I'aul," to the rural folk
of Port Macquarie, N. S. W\, there to lay
up a new foundation of vigorous health
and strength.
Immediately after her graduation in
1803 Professor Stuart, dean of the med
ical faculty, placed Miss Kobinson in
charge of the children's hospital and gave
her the position of medical officer in
charge of the woman's department of
tho Sydney Benevolent hospital, an
assurance that her new step in the pro
gression of women was esteemed and ap
proved. A charming personality, which
would grace the most refined social life,
und rare conversational powers are
among the attributes of this fortunate
and energetic young Australienne. —Chi-
cago Times-Herald.
The Care of the Feet.
If women would bestow half the caro
npon their feet that they do upon their
faces and hands, there would be little
deal of comfort for the' women.' ftetffGSt
their feet are out of sight many women
think their care can be neglected and
then wonder why a walk of a mile tires
and exhausts them. Of course, the feet
are not always to blame, but they are
very often.
Many complaints that women suffer
from for years are due to tight shoes and
high heels. Proper circulation of the
blood is prevented, while headaches, diz
ziness, shortness of breath and lameness
are often caused through neglecting to
care for the feet.
Few things cause more torture than the
wearing of shoes that are too small. A
shoe that will allow every toe to have a
place without lying on the top of the next
one is the first essential to comfort and
the proper care of the feet. Then, at
least three times a week or oftener,
when possible, the feet should be bathed
and rubbed. About once a week the nails
should be looked to, and every night
before retiring the toes should be
stretched out and the feet rubbed for
about five minutes. Especially is this to
be advocated if the feet are at all cold.
When the feet are tired, a salt water
footbath is excellent for resting them.
For feet that perspire unpleasantly
water containing n little borax will be
found excellent, and after a thorough dry
ing and an alcohol rub the feet should be
well powdered with a good boracic acid
talcum powder. A little of this«powder
should also be sprinkled about the soles
of both shoes and stockings.
Corns are, fortunately, infirmities which
can be removed. If the corn is a new
formation, pumice stone rubbed on it or
on any other callous flesh, will remove it.
If, however, it is of long standing and
tender, make a poultice of soft bread and
vinegar (let the bread soak in the vine
gar for about an hour) and apply it at
night to the corn; in the morning soak
the foot in good warm water for about
ten minutes and the corn will be easy to
remove.
Change the stockings daily—this does
not necessitate that seven pairs of stock
ings should be worn each week —and
when possible, the shoes as well. Both
stockings and shoes will last longer by
this change and the feet will be inestima
bly benefited.—American Queen.
Iler Putiire llUNbnnd'n folks.
An engaged girl is often a very foolish
girl with regard to her future husband's
relatives. She looks at them with cold
ness, as people who suppose themselves
to have more right in her lover than she
herself has. She does not care particu
larly about them, perhaps, and thinks
them frumpy or overparticular, and
she takes little pains to hide that they
don't interest her. She seems to expect
that he will lose his old closeness of
relation with his own people at once
and adopt hers in their stead. She is
impatient and resentful of any claim they
-iake to his time or notice, and thinks
she oujfht to have the monopoly. This is
not only wrong, it is foolish as well, says
the Toronto News.
She should rememlx-r that, after all,
his own family have the prior right, and
that it needs a good deal of unselfishness
and self effaccincnt to resign that right
without a pang to a strange girl, even if
i: is a girl he loves. She should think
that to even the most generous of mothers
it is a hard thing to part with her son to
another woman, and the more she herself
loves that sou the more she ought to
understand his mother's love aud sympa
thize with it.
She ought to reflect that upon her at
titude now toward her fiance's people
much of her future life will rest. She
ought to realize what a responsibility she
is taking on herself if she does anything
to sever the close bond between her hus
band and his people. It is inevitable that

j if she makes a faction against them tie j

Her aim should be to win their liking ■
and their confidence, no matter how little

and it does not always follow that be
cause she loves a man she finds his fatn- j
ily lovable too. She should make up her '
mind to put up with much, if needs be, j
to endure and to be patient and to over- j
look. She must realize that from hence- i
forth his people are to be her own p'o

A Belle of Old Kentucky.
"Generous and open handed, high spir
ited, frank and courageous, with the
beauty of splendid health, a command- j
ing figure and a radiant face, Sally Ward j
was long acknowledged throughout the j
south to be the foremost of its belles with I
the grand and dashing manner," writes \
William Ferrine of"The Loveliest of All
| Kentucky Girls," in The Ladies' Ilomc j
Journal. "It is a Blue Grass legend that
once in a riding party, which included j
Tom Marshall and Miss Jennie Smith, (
Sally urged her horse quite up the steps j
to the second story of the Gait House. |
She had a brother, too, who created a j
great sensation by shooting dead a
teacher for dogging one of the younger
Ward boys and was acquitted on the !
ground of self defense. When Sally Ward i
traveled in Europe she nttracted atten- j
tion In every capital as a regal type of '
American beauty, and in the south there
was great delight when it was learned
how graciously she had acquitted herself
when she was presented at the court of
St. James. She was tall, with a finely
symmetrical form in her youth, her
, hands and feet aristocratically small and
her voice rich in the melodious fullness
of its tones, while her lily white complex
. ion, her profusion of light brown hair
and her large, dark blue eyes imparted
' to her not a little of the daszling char
acteristics of a blond. She was credited,
too, with fine taste in dress, and her
silks, laces and jewels would have graced
a royal wardrobe. In conversation she
( was ready and fluent."
The Half Grown Boy.
In the life of every youth there comes
a period when he is growing so fast that
' he is awkward, when his clothing bangs
loosely on him, and his arms push
through his sleeves with such haste that
his mother wonders whether a day will
ever come when his hands will look in
proportion to his size. Patience, mother,
and do not emphasize the little difflcul
? ties incidental to rapid growth by your
t comments and criticisms. Tell the boy
; when he pleases you that he is your
3 dearly beloved and let him still have his
share of the petting he likes. Big boys
need mother love and kisses just as little
i ones do. But do not exclaim when he
r knocks down a chair in his clumsy prog
c ress through the room and refrain from
j calling attention to any little forgetful
i ness of his in company. If you have
made him your companion and treated
i him as if he were a reasonable being and
his sister's equal from babyhood on, you
i will not need to be fearful about his ulti
e mate coming out just right. He will be
i fully grown one of these days and a
112 credit to you, and in the meantime make
i home happy for him and devote yourself
K- to his real interests with an eye to the
i- future. If he likes athletics, so much
i the better. A boy whose physical life
, is upbuilt by healthful and regular cxer
b cise will usually make a finer man, men
e tally and spiritually, than will one who
- is timid and shrinking aud who recoils
from hearty outdoor sports.—Christian
Herald.
The Flarmony of Dre»«
Though few of us are so refined as to
find the same entertainment in a "color
concert" as In the ordinary sort in which
its harmony, which is called its contrast,
as well as other harmonizing colors.
Two dissimilar colors which associate
agreeably, as blue and orange, or liluc
and cherry, or even very light and very
dark blue, form a harmony of contrast.
Two colors of similar disposition when
grouped, such as orange and scarlet,
crimson and crimson brown, or orange
and orange browu, form u harmony of
analogy.
A3 a rule harmonies of contrast are
most effective, being brilliant and decis
ive, while haanonies of analogy are quiet.
These two simple rules will decide you:
1. When a color Is selected that is favor
able to the complexion, it is best to asso
ciate with it tints which will harmonize
by analogy, since a contrast would di
minish the favorable effect. 2. \\ hen a
color is employed which is injurious to
the complexion, contrasting colors must
be associated with it, as they will neu
tralize the objectionable Influence.
Take a green that suits a blond;
shades a bit lighter and darker of the
same green will enhance the effect; that's
the first rule, Rule No. 2 may be proved
by the violet, which is unbecoming to a
brunette, but which becomes agreeable if
yellow or orange is added.
Colors which harmonke by analogy re
duce each other's brilliancy.—Cleveland

Qneen Victoria's Conrtesy.
One of the great sources of the queen's
power was the extreme attention she
gave to detail. This extended to every
thing which came under her personal
notice. The story of her writing her
name in the dust on a piece of furniture
while making a tour of Windsor castle,
and underneath it also the name of the
housemaid who was responsible for the
neglect, I have never heard confirmed,
but many little stories attest her farsee
lug supervision in everything. She never
considered the smallest courtesy beneath
her dignity. Mme. M., lady in wait
ing to the Duchess of Connaught, is
responsible for this little anecdote illus
trating this; At the time of the chris
tening of little Prince Edward, the eld
est son of the Duke of York, through
some mistake Mine. M.'s invitation
was forgotten. She did not go the cere
mony, but seeing the queen soon after,
her majesty asked why she had not been
present, Inquired into all the particulars
and made many excuses. Just theu the
duchess came up. "It's such a pity
about Mine. M.'s invitation," said her
majesty, "but there's no need for you
to say anything. I've apologized."—Har

What Const It ate the Jfeceaaarlea of
Life —They Widely Differ Froui
Duke to Ordinary Mortal.
Recent bankruptcy cases In London
have brought up various legal decisions
\. hich have been reached in England
on the subject of what are necessaries
of life for men of various stations and
degiees who are not iu command of
their own incomes.
| A duke, for instance, or even a mar-
QUIB or an earl Is entitled by law to
one bottle of champagne a day if his
trustees hold the money to pay for it.
In the case of the former Duke of Man
chaster the law decided that seven bot
tles of champagne a week are neces
sary to a duke whose affairs may be in
the hands of trustees and that if he
I had not the control of his own income
he must be allowed to have a carriage
j with one horse, a riding horse as well,
one manservant and a house with a
rent of not less than £250 a year; oth
erwise he must be allowed to have the
use of £2,000 a year, while the rest
might be allowed to accumulate for the
good of the estate till the trustee pe
riod expired.
A viscount or a baron Is allowed by
law to describe as necessaries things
which smaller fry might struggle along
without But a viscount's income
provided there is anybody to pay it—is
, fixed at £1,500 a year and a baron's at
! £I,OOO. He is, supposing any guard
ians have a few thousands a year to
pay out to him according to discretion,
j only entitled to claret as a beverage.
I for his yearly wine allowance only runs
■ to £OO, which would not keep him in
I champagne unless he drank it very sel
j dom. The duke's wine bill may mn
i to £l5O.
The viscount must have a carriage,
but it may be attached for debt, and
he cannot force his guardians to give
him a horse. Of course, If he has no
guardians, nor any income, either, he
must do as other people and go with
out, but these tilings are considered
necessary to peera. A manservant is
allowed to a viscount or baron, but
the house rent need not exceed £2OO,
nor can it be less than £l5O.
A doctor 1b better off than a viscount
In one way—his carriage cannot be
seized in most cases, nor can the ex
penses of it be reckoned in his income
tax returns. In selling up a doctor for
debt he may retain one horse, and two
of his carpets are considered as neces
saries to ids business —In the hnll and
consulting room—and reckoned at £2O
apiece. lie may have surgical instru
ments and medical appliances to the
value of £I,OOO, aud these cannot be
seized.
An ordinary man can retain nothing
but his clothes, his hairbrushes and a
few stern necessaries of that kind. No
wine is allowed to a doctor, but if a
student in the hands of trustees, he can
demand a couple of servants and a
house rent of £<so per year.
The son of a well to do merchant or
tradesman making about £I.OOO a year
can demand neither wine nor horses
nor servants, but the law may allow
him a rent of £SO and another £l5O or
£2OO to keep himself on. supposing he
Is in the hands of guardians, whether
under or over age. As to debt, he can
be sold up, i>ar his personal necessaries
and his clothes, though he is not gen
erally allowed to keep more than six
If he has more a Judge might allow
them to be taken with the other chat
tels, and he can be left without a chair
to nit on or a spoon to eat with. Jewel
ry, If he has any, can be taken; but if
he has, say, two pairs of valuable
sleeve links he can keep only one of
them. In the same way he may keep
a dress suit, but If be has two an order
may bo made to sell up one of them.
A lawyer can have 800 books on legal
subjects or In some way pertaining to
law, and these have to be left alone by
the brokers. There are extreme cases
in which everything, even necessaries,
may be taken, but the lawyer may also
demand exemption even in such cases
for his wigs, or at least two of them,
and two gowns. As a student in the
hands of guardians he can make them
pay him £BO a year for chambers, and
they must pay his examination and
other fees.
A clergyman or minister of any kind
Is worst off of all and can keep very
little for himself. lie can make his
guardians come down with the fees his
profession needs, however, and If he
lives In the country as a curate and
has Borne trustees and also a guardian

very honorable employment. An Eng
lish traveler, being entertained at the
house of one of the mountaineers, took
some silver articles from a packing
case he had with him to eat his dinner
with. At the sight of such costliness
an old woman began to cry, the Eng
lishman having asked what affected
her so muc^:

you of those beautiful things!"

THE GLASS OF FASHION.
Sashes of all kinds and descriptions
Will be a feature of summer dress.
The prettiest, most becoming face
veil for mourning wear is made of
brussels net with a scalloped edge, a
hemstitched border or a crape band.
Embroidered batiste of the finest
texture and the daintiest biscuit tint is
to be very much worn this season for
entire gowns, waists and trimmings.
French knots are quite as popular as
ever as a means of trimming, with the
difference of using heavy instead of
very effective.
Spring hats have blossomed out in a
very realistic way with flowers iu the

the list, but all sorts of exquisite floral
designs are in evidence on the new
hats.
The new leather belts are the same

lard gowns, and it is to be stitched on
at the upper edge. Graduated bands
of piece velvet were Btitclied onto the

"I'l emit mi t'i congratulate you," saiil j
u teiiaiii lawyer noted for liis success iu |
bankruptcy pioci'idings as well as furl
the big fees he charged, addressing one j c
of his clients, a short, stout muii with t
curly black hair. j e
"What for?" inquired the anxious cli- v
ent. j
"Because your petition for your dis- i
charge as n bankrupt has been approved 1
by the court and all of your debts have p
been wiped out —that is, all except one," (
replied the lawyer. -
"What one remains?" eagerly asked
the client.
"The only debt that remains, the only 1
one that you can still be compelled to i
pay, is the remainder of my fee for hav- j
ing you made a bankrupt. It's only a
tritle of ijCiOO," said the lawyer, with a *
smile. "You know that your discharge '
as a bankrupt only relieved you of those i
debts which were included in your sched- t
ule of liabilities." (
"Have the discharge papers been sdgn
ed and am I really a poor, unfortunate, j
disgraced bankrupt?" asked the client as | 1
he caressed his nose with his right hand, i
"Vmi are a bankrupt," responded the
lawyer, "and cannot be compelled to pay ,
any of the debts except my little fee."
"And I must pay another SSOO to you
for having me made a miserable bank- !
rupt?" inquired the stout man, with some
show of emotion.
"That's about the way the case now
stands," impatiently replied the lawyer.
"You may recollect," remarked the new
bankrupt, "that I asked you to leave a
little room on the end of the paper on
i which you wrote the name of my credit
ors, so that 1 could add to the list any
others that I might happen to think of."
"Yes, yes, 1 remember that incident,"
retorted the lawyer, "but it is too late to
make any Additions to that list now."
"I don't want to change it. Every one
of my creditors will find his name and
the exact amount of his claim on that
list. Every one is there."
"Then pay me my SSOO and let us close
this transaction," exclaimed the weary
lawyer.
"We will," remarked the bankrupt as
he slipped on the little finger of his fat
i hand a diamond ring, "but let me explain
| myself. After you filed the list of my!
i creditors with tlie other law papers 1 j
i went back to ti. • court and just added I
your name to the s !n <1 ule of my debts. :
I If you will look at the list, you will find
I that the court h is discharged me from '
my £r*liO indebtedness to you, lawyer J
j Highprice."

MODEL OYSTER FARM.
Hovel .Methods Adopted by Delaware
Iliver PlribitPi'M of tl»e Rivalven.
The first experimental oyster farm
In the United States lias proved so suc
cessful that two permanent farms are
being constructed at I Mas Creek, about
eight miles north of Cape May, N. J.,
which takes up about two miles of the
Delaware bay shore of Cape May coun
ty, one by ex-Senator Maurice A. Itod
gers of Camden county, N. J., and the
other by William Schellenburg of the
game place, says the New York Times.
Both are prominent oyster dealers in
Philadelphia, who own beds around
Maurice Kiver Cove on the Delaware.
For years the planters have sustain
ed heavy losses by reason of the ice,
which forms on tiie beds in the winter
and then floats off with high tides, car
rying the plants and dropping them iu
deeper water, where they cannot be
taken. Many smaller dealers, by rea
son of this, have had togo out tif busi
ness.
Senator Itodgers lias been seeking a
plan for some time to overcome this
and about a year ago at Dias Creek
leased a few acres along the l>ay front
and tried an experiment, which gave
such good results that he has now se
cured two miles of the shore and over
150 acres of ground. Mr. Schellenburg
has secured a large shore frontage and
190 acres of ground.
The farms are connected In this fash
ion: Three ponds of considerable depth
are dug, each about 175 feet from low
water mark, and connected by sluices
lined with wood. Each pond is also
connected with the waters of Delaware
bay, so that the tides can be allowed to
rise and fall In them, or they can be
flooded or drained at will. Along the
shore, extending ont into the bay a dis
tance of half a mile, are sand flats, I
which the tide leaves entirely bare at j
low water. On these lints are spread
oyster shells, to which the spawn ad-
I heres. When the young bivalve is
I large enough. It is removed into these
! ponds and there grows for a year, the
4 ce seldom forming on them, and when
It does it cannot move them off. And 1
this is the point which had to l>e made.
| When the oysters are almost ready for
market they are taken to deeper water
beds for final growth. Mr. Rodgers
says his last year's experiment has
proved the wisdom of his idea.
TEACHING A YOUNG LARK, j
How It* Mother Conches It to Hop
About anil Fly.
i J. M. Barrie, the noted Scottish story
! writer, In Scribner's Magazine told
I how a young lark got its first lesson,
i A baby lark had got out of its nest
1 sideways, a fall of a foot only, but a
j dreadful drop for a baby.
| "You can get back this way," its
mother said, and showed it the way.
But when the baby tried to leap it fell
jon its back. Then the mother marked
out lines on the ground on which it
i was to practice hopping, and it got
j ulong beautifully so long as the mother
; was there every moment to say, "How
j wonderfully you hop!"
1 "Now teach me to hop up." said the
little lark, meaning that it wanted to
1 fly, and the mother tried to do it in
L vain. She could soar up, up, very
bravely, but she could not explain how
6he did it.
"Wait till the sun comes out after
r the rain," she said, half remembering.
j "What is sun? What is rain?" the
3 j little bird asked. "If you cannot teach
- | me to fly, teach me to sing."
i I -vvnen tne suu i-uuics uui after rain."
i the mother replied, "then you will
. know how to sing."
I The rain came and glued the little
! bird's wings together.
"I shall never be able to fly or sing,"
it wailed.
Then of a sudden it began to blink
~ its eyes, for a glorious light had spread
* over the world, catching every leaf
r and twig and blade of grass In tears
3 and putting a smile in every tear. The
| baby bird's breast swelled, it did not
s know why; it fluttered s from the
ground, it did not know why.
"The suu has come out after the
rain!" it trilled. "Thank you. suu!
Thank you! Thank you! Oh, mother,
I did you hear me? I can sing."
Then it floated up, up, calling,
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
, to the sun. "Oh, mother, do you
' see me? 1 am flying!"
