DOltO'IRTS FRIENDS.

Dorothy turned to gob ber littbo astalud
where it Wino tucked In the corner of
the met, safely, as they thought, but, to her
dismay, le was gone. They looked under
the Beata and raised the cushiona, all to no
purpose; 10 woe gone, and with it her ticket,
the chalk for her trunk, her money and all
her precious things. The conduotor sew it
all instantly. 'While he had left her sound
asleep to attend to some duties, a thief had
come and robbed her. Poor little Dorothy!
Instead of the caress of het dear auntie, as
ahe had dreamed, it was the rough touch of
some wicked person that bad awakened her.
The conductor took her tremblin little bend
in his and told her, as plainly and simply as
he could, what had happened, and ea the
ready tears begat. to fall and the sobs came
thick and fast, he put his Wrong arra Abut
her and said:
"Now, my dear little girl, yon meet be
very brave, and we'll see what can be done.
Let me think," he said, looking away for a
moment. "Ah, I have it I" be exclaimed,
and, taking her hand, he led her from the
car.
They went up a long flight of marble
start into a large waiting -room filled with
tired,Itravel-worn people where the bright
lights almost blinded the tear-filled eyes of
Dorothy, as she clung to the hand of the
only frieed she seemed to have. For the
moment she had forgotten "the Friend that
atioketh closer than a brother." But he had
not forgotten her and, althongh she did not
know it, he was very near her even then in
her distress.
"Is Mrs. D3.wson here V' asked the con-
ductor of a porter.
"Yea, SA," replied the man of color, "1
tink she be. I seen her a few moments ago.
There she be, soh," pointing to an elderly
lady who was moving about quietly among
the waiting throng.
"Good evening, Mrs. Demon," Bad the
conductor, approaching .her and leading
little Dorothy by the hand. I think I
have some one here who needs your help."
Inc few words he told her Darothy's story.
It was just such a etory as moved Mrs. Daw-
son's kind heart to its very depths.
" Why, you poor darling," she exclaimed,
stooping down and putting her motherly
a -ms around the little girl, "what a shame!
Bat never feta, well make it all right and
see that you get home safely,too." As
Dorethy looked at her sympathetic face she
gained confidence and courage and began
to wipe away her team. "That's right,"
mad Mrs..Dawson, "be a brave little girl,
and it will all be made right."
Then she bade her friend, the conductor,
good-bye and "are Dawson led her away.
Dorothy looked up 'shyly at this new friend,
wondering who she was and how she hap-
pened to be there and as she did so she saw
1% blue ribbon fastened to her dress, on
which were the lateen, Y. W. C. A. a She
did nob know what they meant, unless they
were the initials of the lady's name, which
she thought rather queer; but Chicago was
a strange place, and she did not know but ib
was a =atom among the ladies there. Mo.
Damien saw the inquiry in her face and
said. with a smile:
"Do you want to know who I am? Well,
I am called the "Strangers' Friend," and I
,am sent here by some kind ladies who want
to help people who Come to this big city
and haven't any friends, or in trouble, just
like yon. It is too late for you to take the
train tehight, so I am going to hike you to
a nice home which these mime ladies keep
for the people they help. In the morning
you shall start on your way mean."
A alert ride in the street -care brought
them to the home and, after a warm nipper
the poo; tired little girl was pet to bed by
kind Mrs. Damen* herself, and aeon forgot

Women Physicians.
The Philadelphie "Record" says:—e.
male physicians aro hemming a wonderiully
numerous clam It is estimated that they
number nearly 3,000 in the United State.,
or about 1 to every 33 doctors of the other
SST. There aro in Philadelphia nearly 100
women physiolans'of which 01 are allopaths
and 18 homeopaths, with about a dozen or
more epecialiste. About onehmarter of
these are married, etiveral of them to physi.
clans with whom they have become co.
work:ire. Some of them have princely in-
comes. Few women adopt aphysician's
career with the idea of gain primarily, yet
mi
their fees are by no
eans nconsiderable
Many of them become selasupporting as
soon as they quit college walls, and tho
number of throne who are not earning their
own broad and butter at the end of their
second post -graduation year are very small.
There are several women doctors in Boston,
• and several more in New York, the yearly
income of each of whom averages from $20,.
000 to $25,000. The aigheat figure reached
in this city is something less than 616,000;
but many other women earn handsome re-
muneration. Their fees per visit are me-
aly below those of their brethren—"wo-
men are not so grasping as the men" as one
femaleyraotitioner phrased it—yet they are
not insignificant.
Certain leading women practitioners often
charge $10 or even $15 per visit. An aver-
age of the annual income from fees of seven-
ty-six graduates of the Pennsylvania Wo-
men's Medical College, taken eight years
ago, was $2,907.30. 'As women's practice
has largely increased since that time the
average now would be considerably higher.
Fifty-four reported their annual receipts to
be between $1.000 and $4,000, and seven
reoeived over $5,000, four of them reaching
a figure above $15,000. Only ten of the
aeventysix admitted that their earnings
fell short of $1,000.
Big Nose and Month.
A clever woman was recently asked who
should be made president of a certain associa-
tion of whioh great things were expected. "1
cannot name her,'' she said, "but choose
B01110 one with.a big nose and a big mouth."
There may be no Klieg worth a row of
pine in this, but none the less it is true that
many of the ruling men and women of pow-
er have had large features. This is espec-
ially so in the literary world. At a literary
gathering anywhere big noses or big mouths,
or both, will be noticeable. The mime traits
are observable at a spiritual seance. At the
°pencil of women in Washington the nests
of the women were in the aggregate moue
-
mental. It is the same at a meeting of So-
rosis. Mies Frances Willard has a big nose
and a good-sized mouth. Mrs. jells 'Ward
Howe has a big month but very fine and
sympathetic. George Eliet's noee lacked
nothing in size. It really looks as if the
big.nosed, wide-mouthed people had the
beet of it in life, at least, from the putilic
point of view.
The fashion of matching the ,bonnet or
hat with the costume, while it still prevails,
is not considered absolutely essential ; but
the bead -gear should be inkeeping with the
costume.

King Milan's Dread.
Oae of the reasons which induced King
Milan to yield to the pressure brought to
bear upon him, ape to relinquish his throne,
was a dread of assassination. The pre-
cautions which he took seem almost in.
credible. There were double doors, plated
with iron, to the room in which he slept,
and a powerful mastiff kept watch at the
foot of his bed, while a loaded revolver lay
ready at his side. His breakfast in private
consisted principally of caufs a lo en, and
toasted bread, wnile his coffee was made in
his presseence with a spirit lamp. Brown
bread biscuits of English 'manufacture and
tinned meats ( opened by his own hand),
formed his lunch, and when dining it was
always obeervecl that he keenly noted who
was partaking of the seine di& as that to
which he helped himself, and denied with
hie food until he saw it was eaten freely by
others. In 'public, and when wearing his
State uniform, the king looked much 'stouter
than when in plebeian costume, and this
was caused by a light snit of proteotive
men, whioh he invariable donned before
leaving the palaoe. He was extremely par-
ticular about his attendants, and nervously
anxious to secure their good -will by lavish
preeents. The maid of Mme. Christios was
the recipient of some naunifioent gifts, and
the confidential valet who watched over the
amorous pair during their private intervienve
reaped a rich harvest as the reward of his
disdetion.

A Big Snake Story.
GAINESVILLE, Tex., April 29.—A strange
discovery has been male here by a French
mannamed Somme, in the northwestern
district of this county. Having occasion to
sink a well, he seleoted a spot in a valley,
near a ravine of great length, and which,
during heavy rains is transformed into a
raging torrent, depositing in the valley
limestone, gravel, mud and other debris.
After reaching a depth of four feet and
while in a formation of limestone and gravel
that had continued almost uninterruptedly

The ribs were about the size of a small pig's

the bones toward the , tapering end, Mr.
Somme Ewen came to rattles, which when
counted numbered seventeen, the largest
measuring six inches across. Attracted by
the strange find, the neighbors gathered

The Crown Prince ate littlest dinner, but

who had driven the Prince to Meyerling and
had put up his horses in the stalks of a

dining room to sing comic songs before
Count Hoyos. The Crown Prince entered

we missed the brute. We bad to fire with

" Estabrook was so badly maimed by the
teeth of the tiger that he has never recovered
from it. His hand was so torn that two of
his fingers hung by shreds of flesh, and his
arm above the wrist) was also lacerated.
This was the doziest call I ever had with
any wild animals. Bear and deer and other
kinds of game on the borders I have killed
in large numbers, but there is nothing on
the frontier now that is so vicious as this
tiger. Estabrook is now at San Bernardino,
laid up from his tiger fight."
Mr. Gladetone's estimate of Dante, ex-
pressed after a paper read by the Bishop of
Riponat (the Dake of Westminster's house,
contained this: "I wish to bear testimony
with the Bishop, as far as language can to
the degree of magnitude and the importaece
of his works, which can hardly be possible
to exaggerate upon. Dante has, 0 place ab-
solutely alone in the whole compass of what
is called literature, and I do not think thab
,there is any writer who can compete with
Dante in what I oall educated power. In
my opinion, tne study of Dante is a very
serious matter, entailing a serious responsi-
bility. Every thinking person who gives
himself to that study cannot, during the
Andy, but feel profoundly its effects, for
many are the lessons whioh the poems of
Dante convey to humanity."
