Marked Decrease in Xumber of Female Students Since 1910. )- During the last year there were n 64 0 women studying medicine, or 39 1- fewer than last year, a decrease of j y 4 0 below 1911 and a decrease of 367 i t below 1910, says The Milwaukee; o Free Press. The percentage of wo-1 men students was 2.8, as compared n with 3.2 last year. There were 154 d women graduates this year, or 3.S V per cent of all graduates, d There has been a very marked dee crease, says The Journal of the Amer- i n ican Medicai Association, in the num- , - ber of women in medicine since 1910, when there were 907 women students v and 157 graduates, and in 1 909. ' e when there were 921 women students y and 163 graduates. Of all the women j matriculants, 138 (21.6 per cent.)! )- were in attendance at the two medi-! 'S cal colleges for women, as compared : with 143 (21.1 per cent.) in 1912.) t 134 (19.7 per cent.) in 1911 and j i- 155 (17 percent.) in 1910.

Renew vour Strawberry Beds. . r ??? A portion of every home garden ! should be devoted to the growing of strawberries. By planting the old j bed, a continuous supply of fresli j fruit may be had from early in the j 0 spring until late into the summer, j i s They are very easy to grow and do j d well on practically every kind of soil j ir and in all climates. From now until the last of October i is the best time for planting. The j , s strawberry plant delights in a cool j r season and if set during the fall will j d become well established by spring ev- j ery summer. Many failures in plant-! s ing are due to the fact that the plants are put out too late in the season. r In selecting plants for the new bed, only the strongest and best of the n present year's runners should be e used. To distinguish new plants from : b the old, the roots are always white I in color while those of old plants are a always black. It is desirable, previe ous to planting, to remove all the younger leaves, allowing mily a few e of the older ones to remain, which > will greatly lessen evaporation. Also, >t the ends of the roots should be sheart ed in to about one-third to one-half i. if they are very long. While plantd ing, carry the plants in a pail of d water. it There are many methods of plant* ing. A common mistake of amateurs y is to scoop out a shallow hole and >, thrust the plant in it, leaving the n roots a crumpled mass witn tneir tips d near the surface where they quickly e dry out. To avoid this, make a deep ), hole with a spade or long-pointed trowel, insert the roots and spread j them out fanshape, allowing them to | hang down full length. In this way, j > every part of the root system will be d in contact with the soil and kept conn stantly moist. Be careful not to set J- the plants too high or too low. If the is crown or heart is below the surface, s after the soil settles it is smothered; n if much above, the roots are dried e out. The aim should be to put the a crown just at the surface, i- In the spring, runners will begin to form. There are various methods >f of training these runners all of which o have strenuous advocates. However, I e for the home grower, the hill system ! d is undoubtedly the most satisfactory, j h The plants are placed fourteen to j y eighteen inches apart in the row and j ail runners kept removed except a j few, trained with the row, to pro-1 duce new plants. There will not be 1 tjUiltJ SU IIIUL'II U UlL JJ1UUUVCU cio mm j some of the matted row systems, but i Q it will be much larger and of superior 9 quality. The first season all the ^ fruiting stems are pinched off as they appear so that the entire strength of the plant will be directed to the development of the crown and foliage 0 parts. By the end of the season, the T plants should have thick broad s; crowns, each holding the rudiments y of several stalks of berries and con" taining plant food to aid in the production of a maximum crop the sece ond season from planting. ^ A strawberry bed mav bear from 0 three to five crops if given extra good care, but it is better to allow the plants to fruit only twice. As the bed gets older, the plants become 5" weakened and often diseased. For the highest grade berries, the plants 0 should be allowed to fruit only once a end a new bed set annually. In planting strawberries, there are a large number of varieties from which we may choose, yet only a comparative few are especially adapted ! to Southern conditions. The Excel-1 - - - ? - ? ..

Death Inevitable He is Cheerful as it Creeps Over Him. New York. Oct. 25.?At times Isaac Levy, the clothing merchant who swallowed four bichloride of mercury tablets in his Brooklyn home Sunday night, jokes about the death that is slowly creeping over him. At other times he is melancholy with the realization that he can't live many more days. He is - - * ^ f cneeriui wnen any memuci ui m? family comes to his bedside in the Sunshine Sanitarium and Rest Home at Cropsey avenue and Bay Thirtytifth street, Bath Beach. The dying man's home at S835 Twenty-second avenue, Bath Beach, is a house of death. His eleven children. six of whom are married, were there yesterday. They admitted their father's death was inevitable and that all they could do was to wait for it. It is believed that Levy may die tomorrow or the next day, for the lour tablets of the poison he took in mistake for headache tablets, are enough to kill four men. He may live a week or more, but Dr. Jacob Sarnoff is doubtful. Levy is 56 years old. For years he did a big wholesale clothing business in downtown New York. He had an office and seven lofts on Fourth street for years and many of the young men who graduated from his ? ' * J business are now neaus ui umci establishments. Of recent years Mr. Levy has had a smaller place of business at 28 East Tenth street, for he lost a lot of money in 1907. He used to give a great deal to charity?to Beth Israel hospital and to other institutions? and was accounted rich. But he has made no will since he swallowed the mercury tablets, said members of his family yesterday, because he no longer is rich. He is a thirty-third degree Mason. Mrs. Levy, grief-stricken and heart weary, went :o her husband's bedside yesterday. "Don't worry," he told her, and patted her head. "I'm all right. I'll be out in a few days and over town again." But Mrs. Levy knew better and the dying man must have known he wasn't telling the truth. Benjamin Levy, a married son, who lives at 1255 Longfellow avenue, The Bronx, went to his father at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon when Levy had come out of coma into consciousness. The father reached out his hand to his son. "You haven't got long, they say, dad," said the son." "Yes I have," replied his father. "Don't worry. I'll be all right in a few days." "They say you haven't a slight chance." "Don't worry. I'm all right. How's your boy, Ben?" "Fine." replied the son. "Shall I bring him over. "No. He might catch cold and get sick. I wouldn't want that to happen on my account." Besides Benjamin, Mr. Levy has four other sons; Louis, Moe William and David. David, the youngest, is 12 years old. There are six daughters; Mrs. May Goodman, Mrs. Beatrice Tauber, Mrs. Ray Levy, Mrs. Irene Roth'and Dorothy and Gertrude. All except Mrs. Goodman, who lives in Newburgh, reside in New York or Brooklyn. Indians and Beef. Turnabout being fair play, the Government which for many years has distributed beef to the Indians and reservations has decided that the Indians must now set about growing beef for the rest of the country. The vncnfvo firinc aro r? f VP rv Ill LI la 11 ICOLi ? UV.1VX1U W.A ^ V*. f V v considerable extent, and as the Indian does not cultivate the land to any great extent, and as much of it is admirably suited to grazing, the Indian commissioner has hit upon the idea of encouraging the "wards of the Government" to turn cowboys. Cattle are already being shipped to some reservations. In the case of the Crows, in Montana, a demand for 9,000 head has been put forth to the contractors. The Indian Bureau will take care of the Indian grazers inasmuch as they are reservation Indians; will protect them from the avarice of the white man, and will see to the marketing of the cattle through the reservation officials. There ought to be something practical in the idea. The labors of the grazers are not so exacting as work on tilled land or in any sort ~ ^ ^ in/lno+riil /Minnno tinn urnnlrl UI uan?v lliuuoiiiai ^tuF?w?vu T.vuxu be. The reservation Indian will not be asked to throw off all at once his indolent habits, and he will not need all the rennements of civilization in all the refinements of civilization in order to succeed. As an industrial scheme for the betterment of the condition of the reservation Indian, and at the same time increasing to some extent the supply of beef, the enterprise is evidently one to be commended.?Manchester Union.

Miss Mathilda Tommet in Milwaukee k j the other day they found that one I of her bequests was a pair of old I shoestrings given to a woman rela- E tive with whom she had been on E friendly terms for many years. There I did not appear to be any sarcasm or I ill feeling connected with the legacy, I says the New York Sun, and judged I by the common sense way in which B the remainder of her property was fl bestowed, there did not seem to be B ground for the suspicion that the B decedent was not in her right mind, fl The cases are numberless in which 9 odd things have been bequeathed, E! and countless have been the con- fl tests to break wills that contain pro- fl visions along lines similar to that of B Miss Tommet's will. In New Orleans W there died not long ago a wealthy 9 old man noted for his shrewdness in p business deals. One of the bequests B of his very long will was a hair g brush he had used for many years. E This brush he gave to a nephew, 81 Samuel Thompson Finnerty?who had been named after the old man? K with the proviso, however, that the 9 brush should be kept in the Finnerty 9 family vauit one month out of twelve, B and in a mahogany box containing 9 an electrical belt that the decedent D had worn for many years. The ac- 9 ceptance of the brush, conditional on g carrying out the old man's wishes, R meant that he nephew was to inherit and enjoy two-thirds of the estate. ? The rest of the will was sound and 1( tight in every respect, according to the lawyers. Margaret Ann Eppting, of San Francisco, left $5,000 each to ten of her nephews about six years ago, but this was the condition: Her tombstone was to be replaced every two years with a new one, on which each nephew in turn "should cause to be chiselled an appropriate verse setting forth his love and affection." As the bequests were in the shape of annuities from a bulk fund, the nephews, t] in order to draw upon the fund for their income, had to comply with the -e demands of the decedent. ti One nephew sued and was beaten, ir Although under the terms of the will 3 he was to forfeit his share for contesting, the will was so construed and r, interpreted that he still received his h annuity, but subject to the new tomb- 13 stone conditions. Jabez Hollister, of Montreal, left his two sons the use of a corn razor ii that he?a cutler?had specially S ground and fixed up for chiropodic a use. "For the sake of their health j and the risk they ran from blood E poisoning if other corn cutters were B " thii onnc wprp admonished to 1* L'- O V/ j WUV '? v- ** ? ? _ _ ^ use 110 other cutter, and a cash amount was to be forfeited if they disobeyed. One son, after he had recovered from the shock of his fath- "~ er's death, laughingly told his lawyers that he had never had a corn in his life. But the lawyers insisted that his father was likely to have known whether he had or not. ^ A Louisville widow found that _ when her husband's will was opened he had bequeather her his bath robe. And there were the words that went with the bequest: "Inasmuch as she has deprived me so often of the comfort and convenience of the garment that was bought for my own personal use, by wearing the aforesaid bath robe at times when I desired and needed it most, I bequeath it to her, with all my love and hope she will ever find it the same tried and faithful servitor, even though Providence should bless her with another husband who may have a bath robe to spare." The decedent was called the Mark Twain of his neighborhood in Louisville. ? There is one actual case on record of a bequest of artificial teeth. But I ' 1 ? ? 1 Afirol I as It was SO lung a. gu, LUC 1^50.1 chronicles think the decedent had in I mind the sale of the teeth to the den- I tists of the time so that cash might I be realized. Many cases are narrated of women bequeathing their hair to their heirs to be converted into mon- ? ey. 1 i Wife Refuses to Pose in Bathtub. Hammond, Ind.?Joseph Detloff, West Hammond, spent the night in ^ the city bastile clad only in night p shirt, after a mile walk with Officer Si John Buckley through a blizzard, minus clothing. Someone gave Detloff a replica of "September Morn" and a bottle of whiskey. He took them both home. Infatuated with the picture and intoxicated with the booze, Detloff took a tub of water and ordered his wife to pose for him se he could paint her as "September Morn." She refused and Detloff was divesting her of her ? habiliments to the accompaniment ofJ J her screams, when neigh Dors sent in ? a riot call. Officers came to the relief of the woman, and, believing that they would not jail him if he took off his clothing, Detloff did so, and dared Buckley to take him to jail. Buckley _ took him. Judge Frank Green fined Detloff $5 and costs. b 4 [Mil 1 "Thedford's Black-Draught ? is the best all-round medicine H 1 erer used," writes J. A. S Steelman, of Pattonville, Texas.
