The scoring of the bores of modern cannon by the new powders in use is claimed to be due to the fact that upon ignition all of the powder is not turned to gas, some of it remaining in a fluid state. It is this latter which does the scoring by being thrown with such force against the metal of the gun that the re sulting action is very similar to that of a sand blast for cutting glass. J.

A prominent physician of Baltimore, who is connected with the Women's Medical College, expresses his views ol the matter in favor of tbe study of med icine by women. "During the earliest period of the world's history," he said, "the duties of attending to the sick were assigned to women. History re cords instances of successful practice by women lone prior to the time when scientifio thought and precision had molded a natural system of medicine. It is not uncommon to find in women the strongest characteristics, will, en durance, calmness under trial, strong judgment and practical intuition, all of which would give a substantial value to her services in the sick room. "The patience, gentleness and sym pathetic nature of woman have con quered for her in the sick chamber a position both honorable and useful. Whether in the capacity of an attend ant Or Ti 11 T4P nr HJiwini hmam . V. n i stincts of affection, the ministrations of! women are regarded as tender and ap propriate. The sick room offers an ap propriate field for the action of woman's truest instincts,, and when to these qualities are added a scientifio training and a knowledge of the art of healing diseases, it would seem, theoretically at least that j woman's character had reached a high degree of usefulness in a medical career. As late as 1850 the number of female graduates in medi cine i could ' be counted on the fingers of one hand. To-day upward of 2,000 American women hold a medical degree. The movement has literally conquered, a position in science and society and one might as well at tempt to stay the progress of the tides as to endeavor to arrest a reform which gives to woman a useful sphere of action, a benevolen. occupation and an opening to an honorable livelihood. "In the beginning the effort rnnn tha part of woman to secure a medical edu cation was a trying one. The rnrl which' the early female practitioner trod was rugged. There were aenti. ments, prejudices and opinions present- tug iormiaaoie Darners to progress, and woman knocked hard for admission in fji the ranks of the mftdial Admission was at first emDhaticallv do. nied; it was next partiallv allowed. Now the doors are onen. and a nrlii,i education is within the reach of any woman who seeks it The future of this movement in favor of female morlii education and practice will turn upon woman's skill, knowledge and adapta bility. She must master tbe science; she must demonstrate her ability to do scientifio work; and if she conquer the usual failings of her sex, such as want of perseverance, of a steadfast. Tlllrnnao and her desire to make a short cut to prosperity by "taking up' fids, so to speak, instead of pursuing a practical course of work, then I see no reason wh,y she should not succeed in this pro gressive age." nainmore Bun. A King. Romantic Career. The K ng of Dahomey is a man of orln. cat on and accomplishments. He wan reared in Paris and much spent and careful, attention lavished up on his instruction. But in an evil houi he fell in love with a Parisian beauty, and because she would not have him the young man made up his mind that the life of a barbarian was nreferable tn that of a civilized and enlightened be ing. He bade eternal adieu, therefore. to the classics, the arts and tbe sciences, and zealously set himself to the pursuit of a barbarian career. His most remark abze reform as King of Dahnmev waB t surround himself with a body-guard of strapping women, reo-ular rode horseback man-fashion, used the bow and spear and used the battle-axe with singular dexterity.

In a recent numher nf tha Vinni gisches Centralblatt Dr. Metz records the case of a man, aged thirty, who had suffered with mental disease since the summer of 1888. In Fehrnarv 1SRO ha became affected with delirium of perse cut on, and was so vio'.ent that he had to be placed in confinement. At the be ginning of the- present year there was an outbreak of influenza in the asylum. The patient in question was attacked on the 13th of January; on the 17th he wrote a rational letter to his wife, giving a clear and coherent account of all that had occurred since he had become in sane. He dated the recovery nf his mental lucidity from the dav on which he was attacked with influenza.

It is a curious fact that the popula tion of France has rarely produced a giant; Great Britain, Germany, Poland and Switzerland carry off the palm j and this may perhaps be attributed to the prevalence in France of a vegetarian diet which does not tend to develop to a great an extent the growth of muscla as does the stronger diet of meat. The Eighteenth century, to judge by con temporary letters and ' newsnervra - - i , seems to have been more than usually proline in giants and giantesses. Horace Walpole mentions a giant and giantess who were on view respect ively at bpnng Gardens and Half Moon Court, Ludgate Hill They were both, it seems, handsome and well propor tioned persons, and without the usual ' awkward ungaiiiliness peculiar to their kind. At this time also appeared a young Italian giantess 7 feet in height, "who was the admiration, " said the handbills, "of the emnemr Germany, of eight kings of Europe and oi tne grand czar of Moscow himself." Her appearance seems to have been followed in 1742 by that of Cajanus, tne lamous bwedish giant commonly called the "living Colossus." who mms over to England and established him- seit at a house opposite the Mansion house. He was the son of a Dastor of a little village in Finland and stood 8 leet 4 inencs in bis socks. In 17S5 London was visited bv an other Italian giant named Bernardo Gigli, or Gilli, who measured 8 feet in height, and seems to have created an immense sensation bv the mlnaanl proportions of his limbs. Hut no cnant ever created such a furor as did Charles Byrne, the Irish giant who was 8 feet ft inches in height and possessed of enor- moil ptrmWl, .

He was, so attenuated that tall as he was, he appeared even taller. His height was 8 feet 7 inches. Feeble and debilitated in health, he could only walk by supporting biinself on the shoulders of two tall men walking in front of him, resting a hand on the shoulder of each. Many amusing stories are related ol him. One evening at a Masonic dinner he took out of hia pocket the celebrated dwarf, Count Borulauski, and set him upon the table, to the astonishment of all , Some time after, while stavino- ni Bath, he nearly terrified a night watch man out of his wits by taking off the top of a street lamp and lighting his Dine with the flame.
