Medical Edueation for Women.
A movement has begun in Montreal to throw open the medical classes in McGil College to women. On Saturday, April x’ a meeting was held in the hall of the
Fraser Institute, which was attended, not only by # large number of ladies interested in the scheme, but also by a number of gentlemen who take an active part in the educational institutions of Canada’s com- mercial metropolis. From the report of the Montreal Daily Witness of the 8th im%t. we clip the following :
The Chairman (Mr. Hugh MeclJ.ennan) said that in the initiation ef an effort of this kind the question naturally suggested itself, how apes women would take advantage of this
rse if it were opened tothem. The same enquiry was prompted when the Arte course was opened up at McGill, and it was found that the response was greater than its most sanguine adherents could have anticipated. But this was a question the value of which shoald not be gauged by what was apparent only on the surface. This movement of female medical instruction was one of immea- surable importance, and would lead to the highest possible results. He believed that not only would there in this instance be an equal response, as had been the case in Arts, but that ladies so educated would be more ool in their generation, and that they would giadly emhrace such an oppartunity as they had done ip every other branch of learning which had been opened up ta, them. Miss McLea explained that as soon rae formulated plans had been brought under the aotice of the authorities a variety of objections werv urged—not one of which, she maintained, was fot capable of being dissolved into thin air. Some considered the time had not come for a question being brought to the front, and if it had, that Montreal was not the place, while others thought just the rever The Governors of McGill had given them to under- stand that if the money could be raised the remainder would be easily settled; and the corporation entertained the same idea. It vas @ remarkable fact, however, that there was fo one who had said that the profession of medicine should not be thrown open to women, and that of all the objections which had been urged not one had been urged against the principle of the scheme. They had seen most of the medical men and they were @f opinion that Montreal, the commevcial centre of Canada, was the place for such a movement, though some believed they were a littie too soon in forcing it before the public, while®thers said if the money could be Pr: vided they would smooth away most of the difficulties in the way. As to the young women themselves she might say that they were agreed that Montreal was the place, but they were divided on the question whether medical instructions should be sep irate or based on co-education. But that was not the iss@e which had to be decided; it was the larger question involving the principle of the whole thing which now lay between the public on one side, and the medical faculty on the other. The sum required had been estimated at $259- 000, and that was not much for a city like Montreal, with its millions and millions. Surely, if they could get a millicn from two
were many others of equal public spirit who would gladly contribute largely to such ap important movement? as this. (Applause), The members of McGill corporation were unanim- ous in its favor; it had been recommended by the governors, approved by the medical fuculty, and it now only remained for the public of Mohtreal to endorse what had been 30 Well begun. Miss MeLea then propused a resulution in favor of the establishment of an association to promote the professional educa- tion of women, remarking that it was an noble objeot, and one that appealed to the sympath- ies of every thoughtful man and woman. The resolution was, after some discussion,, agreed to,”
By a letter from the Secretary we learn that it is hoped that Prince Edward Island will furnish a goodly quota of students, in case the project of affording medical educa- tion for women at McGill College is success- fully carried out. If there are any ladies in this Island who desire to study for the medical profession, they will help their sisters in Montreal by forwarding their names and addresses to Miss Georgina Hunter, B. A., High School, Moncreal; for besides the pecuniary help spoken of as needful, it is considered alinost as import- ant to show that a number of lady students will enter the classes if they are opened.
it may possibly be news to some of our readers to learn that one of the graduates from the Pennsylvania Medical College for women for 1889 is Dr. Louisa Bovyer Smallwood, of Lot 48, in this Island. There seems to be no reason why others of our fair sex should not take up the profes- sion of medicine.
House Cleaning.
In the spring the housewife’s fancy turns to thoughts of cleaning house, and until this work is accomplished she takes very little rest. As the spring cleaning is usually the general cleansing of the year, every nook and corner is sure to be visited, and all thoroughly cleared out and put in order. Although there is sure to be some confu- sion during this work, yet a good deal may be avoided by cleaning one room at a time, being sure to keep at it until it is flnished before beginning on another. This usually vonfines the confusion to two rooms, the one cleauing aud one to which the furniture of the first is moved.
Begin by removing from the rvom to be cleaned all the small ornaments and articles of furniture, then the large pieces of furni- Lure, pictures and mirrors. Take down the curtains, dust thoroughly, and if of wash- able material, send tu the laundry. li they cannot be washed, and are not much soiled. the dusting will be sufficient. If the floor is carpeted, sweep this as clean as possible, with a tack-lifter remove the cacks, fold together carefully, so as to raise «s little dust as ycu can, and take ont inte the air, where it should be _ well beaten. Where carpet lining = or newspapers have been uged, the dust

‘carrying them out into the air, leaving very
little dust on the fluor. Where straw is ‘used under carpets, after removing this the dust under it can be swept up by sprinkl- ing the floor with water. After taking up the du:t wipe the floor over with a damp mop, hot wet enough to wash it, buat just enough to take up the superfluous dust, so the base boards around the room may be washed without veing smeared by the cloth coming in contact with the dusty floor. Wash the paint with a soft, white flannel cloth, warm water and some good suap. If light colored or white, whiting in the water will improve its appearance. Ii very much sviied, and one is not particular about the gloss, ammonia in the water will cleanse it perfectly, but will remove the polish. Wash the windows ia ammonia water and the floor also. When the floor is dry and the carpet well shaken, put down the latter, replacegthe pictures, furniture and cur- tains, after wiping them over thoroughly. Rub the furniiure, if dark, with some good furniture polish or warm linseed oil, using only a little oil and a good deal of rubbing. Test the cords, nails and screw eyes of pic- tures, mirrors, etc., and be sure they are strong enough to stand the weight of the article another year. Cold tea is the best thing with which to clean grained wood. Never use ammonia tor this work. Un- sightly grease spotscan be removed from wall paper by using blotting paper and a warmiron. Take a piece of blotting paper double it and hoid it on the spot of grease, then press on this a warm iron. Remove the paper, and if the spot is not all out, use a clean piece, and so continue until the stain has disappeared. Common brown meat paper, folded two or three ply, is good when the other is not convenient. Spirits of camphor will remove white spots from furniture, as also will alcohol; but if the article is varnished this also will come off, so unless you wish to revarnish, alcohol should not be used on varnished furniture. We do not know what effect spirits of cam- phor will have on this same kind of furni- ture, but the effect of the alcohol we have learned from experience.

Time servers.
How many men there are, holding good, paying positions as journeymen, who are really of no value aes kept constantly under the eye of the foreman or their em- ployer? They are simply time servers,who take no interest in the business they repre- sent beyond thee actual time necessary to count thém a day’s work. They work when closely watched because they are obliged to, not from any. motive of honor or interest in the business.
What can be expected of such workmen but that they will shirk their work and idle their tite away at every opportunity ?

If your mind is not upon your work, you cannot expect to accomplish it with any — degree of satisfaction to your employer or | credit to yourfelf.
In going about from one shop to another
it isa very easy matter to pick out the
time servers. Upon the slightest pretext
they drop their work to talk or look about
and are always ready to get out of the door
the moment the clock strikes six, and their! example is very rapidly followed by the) apprentices or youager workmen. They’ have to be constantly watched, and this! fact, being known to the firm, is not long in having its results.
Employers are more generally knowing to the habits and qualities of the men they employ than the me. often realize, and they invariably know who are the time
servers among them, so that whea there} comes a convenient opportunity or a jull' in business, these are the first to be dis- ; charged.
It pays to be faithful and to do your best at all times, and more especially when aan employer is not watching. If you must idle away time, do it when he is about, but don’t dishonor yourself or betray his con-, fidence by taking advantage of his absence. '
This is one of the worst features of our American system. It is an example which is set by the older men, and which is read- ily adopted by apprentices, and it is the exception rather than the rule that we find a young man who is sufficiently interested in his own welfare and his employer's as well to give his full time and attention to his work. Those who do this are sure of success, and it is from among such that have risen those men whose names are written upon the pages of history as having made their mark in the world, and left be- hind not only pleasant recollections, but a shining example that is worthy of a careful imitation.—The Practical Mechanic. ~
Manuriag Experiments.
A series of eight separate experiments in Britain, each conducted on the scale of farm practice, and in a different quarter from the others, has led in all cases to the one conclusion, viz.: The weakest link in soil fertility lies in exhausting the land of its mineral constituents, particularly phos-
agriculture has exploited the whole world in search of phosphates tor manuria] pur- poses, and the more available supplies are now becoming gradually exhausted. But of late another source has been discovered —the phosphate deds of the Quebec river valleys, notably in the township of Buck- ingham. A Mineral Phosphate Jo. has been formed with a capital of $275,000 in $5 shares, with $176 seven per cent. de- bentures, now offered for subscription to acquire and work deposits of Jime phos- phates. It is stated that the demand for this fertilizer is growing rapidly, and that 15,000 to 20,000 tons can be obtained, sur- face workings on the Quebec p.operty alone—at an estimated profit of nearly $17 per ton. The purchase price is fixed at $375,000, payable $75,000 in cash aud the balance in cash, shares, or debentures,

Quick Passace.—The brigantine Hattie Louise sailed from New York on the after- noon of Wednesday, March 6th, passed Bermuda (in sight) on Saturday morning, the 9ch, passed Barbadves (in sight) on Fri- day evening, March 15th, and arrived at Trinidad Island un Sunday morning, March 17th. This isa noted e and is the best on record to Trinidad. The royal was not furled between the two ports, and al- though the vessel was deeply loaded ard had 47,000 feet of lumber on deck, she made an average of 8.4 knots an hour for the whole time. The best day’s work was 257 milea and the least 172. This vessel was built by Mr. Charles McIntosh at Sher- | brooke, and fitted out here by Messrs. |Muir & Blackadar in October, 1888, for ‘Mr. A. M.
