Women in Medicine.

The first scientific medical journal ever issued by women will be published this month by the Recorder Publishing Company, of Toledo, Ohio. It will be edited by E. M. Roys-Gav-itt, M. D., a graduate of the Woman’s Medical College, of Philadelphia, with Claudia Q. Murphy, editor of the Woman’s Recorder, as managing editor. It will be a flfty-four-page monthly. Among the first contributors will be Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi, of New York, and a number of other prominent and successful physicians. All the work will be done by women. Not a Failure. Johnny Gibbs is a youthful philosopher. He believes that life would be simplified if people would be content to do one thing at a time. The other day Johnny was hard at work with paper and pencil. His mother looked over his shoulder. “Why, Johnny,” she exclaimed, “your spelling is perfectly dreadful! Look at that—‘siting in a chare.’ I’m ishamed of you!” “But, mamma,” said the little boy, reassuringly, “this isn’t a spelling lesson. It’s a composition."
