COLLEGE GIRLS GROW FAT
Soon After Entering the “Freshies”
They Begin to Acquire
Plumpness.
"la a couple of mouths from now,”
said a woman who was matron at a
women's college for several years,
"there, will be a flood of letters from
girl freshmen to their mothers, all
containing one complaint: ‘I'm grow
ing so fat that my clothes won't' fit
me.’ And the mothers will worry and
fret, and wardrobes will be sent home
to be let out.
"Freshmen at the women’s college
always grow very plump, and they
astonish their friends and relatives
when they go home on their first vaca
tion by the amount of flesh they have
put on. And it is all due, I befieve,
to the healthy, normal life that a girl
leads at college.
"The food is always palatable, nour
ishing, and of the best, and even the
most finicky maiden learns to eat
everything. I have seen girls who
entered college with the idea that they
could get nothing but the white meat
of Chicken and lemon ice, contentedly
eating fried veal and onions a few
w'eeks later,
“And these meals are always served
at a regular time, and with plenty
of lively conversation to make them
digest easily. Let oie say right here,
too, that the popular notion that col
lege girls have midnight spreads of
indlgestibles i3 a wrong one. Such
things belong to a boarding school, but
not to a women’s college.
"Then there are regular hours for
retiring. Lights must be out at ten
o'clock, and that means eight hours
of good, healthful slegp. The out
door life also contributes to the plump
ness of the girls.
“College girls stay indoors only
when they have to. and plenty of fresh
-> air makes them strong and muscular.
The gymnasium Is another factor. Its
purposes is to develop a girl physical
ly, and each freshman is examined
that she may get the exercise she most
needs.
u uuci au i iicoo wuuiuouo 1 nw
freshmen rapidly grow plump and rosy
and this ' plumpness they rarely lose
during their college course. Even the
thinnest girl finds she can wear a
decollete evening gown after she has
been at college three months, and the
fat girls find their superfluous flesh
turning into hard, Arm muscle.
“And one thi&g more. College girls
are always happy, and every woman
grows fat when she is happy.”
THE JEWISH PHYSICIAN.
—
Members of the Medical Profession
in History Who Belonged to
That Race.
An interesting survey of Jews as
members of our profession is to be ob
tained from a little work entitled
“Judische Aerzte und ibr Einfluss auf
das Judentum,” which, says the Med
ical Record, has been issued by Dr.
Simon Scherbel. One of the most
prominent of the earlier personages
mentioned is Chasdai, who became a
minister under the Calif Abdul-Rah
mao III., and did much to establish
the position of t)he Jews among the
Moslems in Spain during the tenth cen
tury, as well as to foster the study of
the Talmud in that country. Jehuda
Halevi, who lived 100 years later, was
a busy physician who was also the
author of distinguished practical and
philosophical works. The great
Maimonides of Cordova is Included
among the list of physicians by the
author, who says that he created what
Is almost a new Talmud, and alleges
that Richard Coeur de Leon wished to
make him his court physician, in spite
of the edicts of Popes Eugenius, Nich
olas and Calixtus that Christians
should uot employ Jewish physicians.
In Spain many years before they were
practically the only practitioners of
medicine. Somewhat later Pope Alex
ander VI. had as personal physician a
Jew, Bonet de Lates, who subsequently
became attached to the court of Louis
X. The edict against Jewish physi
cians was finally raised by Sixtus V .
iargely at the instigation of two then
celebrated physicians, David de Pomis
and Elia Montaito. In the latter part
of the eighteenth century Mendels
sohn's efforts in behalf of his com
patriots were ably seconded by his
friend, the physician Marcus Herz who
contributed much toward the elevation I
of the Jews in Germany. in stii!
more recent time Ascher. Steiuheim.
Erter and Johann Jacoby have been j
prominent, and the author closes hi3
enumeration with the widely known
names of Strassmanu, Neumann j
Baginsky and Senator.
Bit of Westmoreland.
The vv'estmoreiand hills are the re
mains of an infinitely older world— j
giants decayed, but of a great race and
ancestry; they have the finish, the
delicate or noble loveliness—one might
almost say the manner—that comes of
long and gentle companionship with
those chief forces that make for nat
ural beauty—with air anu wateicVvith
temperate suns and too abundant
rains. Beside them the Alps are in
human; the Apennines, mere forest
grown heaps—mountains in the mak
ing; while all that Scotland gains from
the easy enveloping glory of its heath
er, Westmoreland, which is almost
heatherless, must owe to an infinitude
of fine sfrokes, tints, curves and group
ings, to touches of magic and to lines
of grace, yet never losing the wild
energy of precipice'and rock that be
longs of right to a mountain world.—

CABLES HARD TO MAINTAIN
Six Lines Damaged by a Typhoon
Which Lately Swept the
China Sea.
i The difficulty attending the efficient
maintenance of the network of sub
; marine telegraph cables, by which in
telligence is flashed to the uttermost
ensd of the earth, is illustrated by the
reports of the newspapers that no few
| er than six of these cables were dam
I aged by the typhoon which recently
raged over the east coast of China.
■ The various cable companies are, of
1 course, prepared for contingents of
1'this kind, and a fleet of some 48 spe
j cially constructed vessels are con
I stantly employed in laying and repair
ing cables in different parts of the
world.
The magnitude of these operations
may be realized when it is said that
the length of the cable lying along the
the bed of the ocean is something like
225,000 miles. Of these considerably
more than one-half are British, while
Eritish messages numi.er 100,000,000
words per annum. The cables lie at
various depths, the greatest known
depth of Ihe ocean being 5.88 miles in
the North Paicfic.
‘‘Our cables are tested every week,”
said an official of the Eastern Tele
graph company, to a London newspaper
man, ‘‘and when a fault is detected a
repairing-ship is sent to the spot.
These ships are stationed at various
centers, such as Gibraltar, Aden,
Singapore, and the west and east coasts
of Africa, and there is always a re
serve stock of cables kept in tanks
at certain stations.
‘‘In shallow water the cables are
sometimes fouled by the anchors of
ships, and at the mouths of large
rivers there is sometimes trouble
when trunks of trees and other ob
jects are swept into the sea and forced
by the strong currents against the
cables. Then there are boring in
sects like the teredo, which bores its
way between the strands of iron wire
twisted round the core of the cable,
but in our newer cables -we have pro
vided against the depredations of the
teredo by a sheathing of brass coiled
around the cable like a riblwn.”
‘•NO CARE” FOR COUNTY.
National Spirit of Jap and Russ in
Marked Contrast the World
Over.
In an old corner of Boston where
many races mingle a polite little Jap
anese artist has his studio, and paints
lamp-shades and screens for his mer
chant fellow countrymen. On the
Monday of Admiral Togo's victory, re
lates Youth's Companion, he was ex
citedly discussing the event with an
American customer when the door
opened and a red-bearded Russian
peddler entered with a bulging satchel.
“Ha!” exclaimed the Intruder, in a
big voice. "You buy to-day? Yes?
Shoe-string? Knife? Shawl?”
“No! No! No!” cried the “Jap,” ex
cietdly. “You go out. You go out.
I buy nothing to-day. Togo—he whip
—take all—capture Russian—I make no
trade with you.”
“Aha!” exclaimed the Russian again,
his face lighting up with a new In
terest. “You Japan?” He pointed a
lean finger accusingly at the Jap. “I
Russian! You no make trade with me
— make fight with me? Yes?”
“Yes, I make fight with you,” agreed
the Jap; but before he oould do so the
Russian had . already burst into a ge
nial laugh.
“Poof!” he said, making a great
sound. “Russia! What care I?t Rus
sia! I not care anything. I come
away. In America I have gladness
that Russia is capture.” He held out
his pack toward the Jap ingratiatingly.
"Now you make trade with me?
Yes?"
The Jap glared at him scornfully,
then turned to the American with a
deprecatory gesture.
“Such we fight!” he exclaimed. “No
good at all. How can he be any
good who has not care for his coun
try?"
Certainly no one has accused the Is
landers of lacking that care—but it
may be that for a better country, or.
rather, a better government. Ivan. too.
might have developed patriotism.
Highland Funerals.
A Scottish correspondent writes of
funerals in rhe Highlands. "There a/e
no undertakers here. A carpenter
makes the simple coffin, relatives and
friends carry it, hip high, to its last,
restiug place, which is dug when the
end of the journey is reached, and,
having walked perhaps six miles to
the chosen kirkyard, they take a re
freshment. of sandwiches and whisky
and walk home again. The rigorous
absence of pomp is maintained, but
there is khe added embellishment, of
pipe music.”
His Mistake.
“I am free to admit that I made a mis
take when I removed that man’s appen
dix.”
“Didn't have appendicitis, eh?”
“O. he had appendicitis, all right, but
he didn’t have any money."—Houston
Post.
Noise Enough.
“Why do you say that your husband
is such a loud dresser? He dresses
quietly, it seems to me."
"You wouldn’t say so if you heard him
some time trying to put on a collar.”—

Donneflv and Hatfield Minstrels.
It is always a pleasure to an
nounce the coming of the Don
nelly and Hatfield Magnificent
Minstrels which appear at the
opera house Saturday, Nov. 18.
Theatre-goers of this city have
learned to rely upon the promis
es of the managers of this organ
ization and people have come to
realize that the Donnelly ^Hat
field Minstrels are just a little
better than the Donnelly & Hat
field posters and the show, in
fact, is just a little greater Jthan
the words that attempt tq por
tray the merits of the organiza
tion. It could not be otherwise
under the personal direction of
Al. G. Field.
This show always affords gen
uine entertainment. The melody
of its popular songs have pre
ceded it into this city, for its
songs have been whistled
throughout the country. These
popular song hits are offered in
the first part. It is said that the
color schemeland the “effects”
of the latter surpass anything of
the kind ever presented in min
strelsy. And it is claimed j*its
good humor and melody run over
at the side.
Many feature acts are on the
program. One of the entertain
ing acts is the “Darktovvn Cir
cus,” a burlesque upon the most
popular of America’s amuse
ments, the circus. While one
counts five the audiencejis intro
duced to all the accessories and
atmosphere that go to make a
typical one ring circus. fl&The en
tire company of forty people
take part in this act. The scen
eryjis both gorgeous and realist
ic This act is relieved by the
“Toledos,” impersonators of
animals, reptiles and amphib
ious monsters. They give feats
of contortion and acrobatic
ability.
“Where the moonlight Falls”
shows a miniature landscape
with a full moon and rippling
waters, where a company of dar
kies gather and do a series of
dances. There is a monologue
by Tommy Donnelly and a mu
sical “fete” by Crawford and
Finning. The Tuscano Brothers,
Roman axe manipulators, will
make their first American ap
pearance with this company.
These gentlemen balance, juggle
and throw rude Roman axes.
“While Old Glory Waves” dis
closes a series of spectacles rep
resenting the varied career of
America in arms.
The managers of this popular
organization have made the vocal
music of their splendid enter
tainment one of its chief feat
ures. Some of the best black
faced comedians in the business
have joined their forces. 15-18
