Seaver of Yale between the types of girlhood to bo found In the eastern and western section of the country from the statistics compiled by the authorities In the different colleges lu the two locnltles. The figures represent girls of the same age and general de\elopment , re ports the Philadelphia Times , and unless there are some marked differences through out the districts from which the institutions draw their students It would be safe to as sume that there was no difference In the physical characteristics of our women the country over. But some very striking dlf- foiences are found and from them the con clusion may bo deduced that the environment of our women Is affecting them and that the future may be moulded In proportion to the care that Is taken to counteract the mil effects of our surroundings and to enhance the good. The etndy that Pi of. Soa\er has made Includes o\er 0,000 girls. They are drawn from three localities. Ono reprebcnts the western typo purely , as typified In the Uni versity of Nebraska ; the second represents the middle western typo , as found In Ober- lln college , nnd the third class represents the eastern typo as displayed In the ranks of Wellesley college. It Is found that while they iMffer In minor respects there Is no material difference between the western and middle west. They may be classified to gether. Hut the eastern typeIs essentially distinctive nnd must bo considered alone. Unqucotlonably the principal difference lies In the greater percentage of urban popula- tl"n In the east than In the west , though the freer habits of the west contribute their share and the different progenlty of the districts , though almost obliterated , has a small Influence. But whatever the Influences that serve to produce the conditions they can bo well studied and the future genera tion of all districts Improved by a judicious use of suitable exorcises. rllero are some of the physical pecullnrltles that are disclosed bv the.se tnblcw. First , that the Wellesley woman Is taller and heavier thnn the typical woman of cither of the western groups , while Iho Obcilln nnd NebraKka women are about the same plzo and weight. The Increased frequency of the Teutonic clement In the western group probably accounts for the difference The eastern type partakes more of the long- legged and short-trunkcd t > pe which seems to bo chaiactcrlstlc of the tendency In modern development. The symmetry that exists In the length of the upper extremities Is tcmarkablo , al though there seems to bo a greater length of fcot In the cistern group than In either of the othem In girths the record of head circumference booms to bo larger In the eastern group , and according to the general law that ecems to obtain among men this larger girth of head U accompanied by n larger girth of neck , although all the chest moasuiements uro found to be considerably below tbo standard sot by either of the western colleges. This poor development of client Is In an Important region of the body and would scorn to Indicate less vitality and certainly less endurance- working power They also fall below In girth of hips , while the waist girth Is essentially the mine. In girth of upper arm the eastern groups excel , while In girth of forearm they are markedly deficient. This may bo explained If the western typo has been more accus tomed to phjfilcal work , which would tend to rcduco any fatty tissue fron the upper arm nnd would give marked muscular devel opment through the forearm Thlb conclu. alon would Fcem to bo established hv the larger thigh ineaciiremrnts found In the enhttrn group , as thin la a region that read ily lends Itself to storage of fatty tlesuc , and the larger calf girth would show exercise in walking. In hmidths the contour of the head Is dif ferent In the various groups , the broadest ono being found In the extreme west , where , as was calj , the Teutonic element Is proba- bl ) the largest. Ono would naturally expect tbo largust head breadth to be found In the east , whoru the head girth Is the largest The breadth of shoulders seems to be the same In all groups , although the broader neck Is found where the larger head has to Ixi bupported. In drpthti the eastern group leads , show ing a rounder tjpo of figure , and the Oborlln group seeing to bo especially deficient In this regard Th's ' mu > be duo to the farm life that has moulded so large a percentage lu this group , nnd that this Inlluence Is oblit erated to some rxtent by the Teutonic elo- mcnt In tbo far western group The chest t > po Is duo to foino Influence outside of college - lego life , or to a different form of physical training than is Inoguc > In the different In stitutions. Finally , It Is of great Interest to notice that the Nebraska woman has a much larger lung capacity , as she has larger chest girth , nnd this Item nlono would Indicate n higher typo of physical ability and n previous llfo of "greater activity than Is found In either of the two other classes. In this regard the eastern college seems to have a better rec ord than would bo anticipated from thr > girths , nnd It seems to bo a fact , derive 1 from a tabulation of the measurements of Oberlln students who have taken svstematlc exorcise , that this element rapidly Increased and that the Oberlln student should stand next to the Nebraska student In this particular. These , then , nro the main variations. The comparatively slight causcw that produce them arc encouraging In that they seem to Indicate that a correction of the evils la readily reached by the application of the proper remedy. It effectually argues the nccerslty nnd benefit of phjslcal culture. AVO.tlHN l.N iiljrTlllCITV. V Pit-Ill Wl SnU.Ml for Tin-in. Mllll ii I.V NOM In It. Thcro nro possibly tlfty women In the United States who have taken cither u fuller or a partial course In electricity at ono of the co-educational colleges or from private Instructors , reports the New York Sun. A few of thcso are now owners and managers of electric lighting and electric car plants In various parts of the country , nnd ono hears of them through the New York manu facturers of electrical goods. At nilenvlllo , N. Y. , at Hay City , Mich , at Saglnaw and other plac ° s nro electric plants run by women. Certain women students 1mc taken a course In electricity to supplement medical and surgical knowledge , and nro conducting private sanitariums In various places or are employed as assistant managers In hospitals and asylums where electricity is used as a remedial agent. Other students of electrical laws and principles have put their knowl edge to crcotlvo purposes and hn\o Invented articles moj-o or ICFS Important In the prac tical application of electricity. A host of women and many jouhg glils are employed in > the largo manufactories of electric goods. They make all the filaments for the lamps. They wind the anmturos for the dynamos. They wind nnd cover with spun silk or paper miles and miles of who , small and laige , used in the Induction coils , In the great underground cables nnd on the magnets for telephone receivers and switch- A QUIET ni r ILGG\XT : DINNKR DHKSS boards. Tbeso women tip all the cords , solder nil the important llttlo mediums , and do all the deft and dellcato work necessary In such departments. Three hundred nnd more women work on such matters In a blnglo New York City factory and a now workroom of wide capacity is Just beins added which will Rlvo work to 100 more. There are flvo or six expert forewomen In structing and supervising the others. In the factories at Hanlbon , Schencctady , I'ltts- buiR , Chicago and other places thete nro double and treble this number of women nnd girls. Semi ) arc meicly mechanical special ists working day in nnd day out with the same tools or machinery on the same part of the same order of substance.

There are several women who use their In sight Into eloctile science to wrlto wlyit maybe bo termed popular articles on the subject for vailous daily papers and poilodicals.

Any ono Inqulilne Into the subject hears cf thrso just as ho hosrs of fakirs in other callings and professions , but the fact remains that , although the num ber of women graduates In electricity Is not one-fifth that of women graduates In law , In theology. In political science , In botany , those who have mastered the study have made a notable success of It. The foremost woman In electric s-lenco anywhere in the world Is Mrs. liertlm Ayr- ton of London She has madr very remark- nblnjnvestlgatlons of the phenomena of the ' elect'ilc arc nnd contributed valuable data on thla subject ( o the Important scientific Jouinale In May lost she read a paper before - fore the Knsllsh Institute of Electrical En- glnetrs , the first paper ever read before lhat body b > n woman , and It contained matter of much moment Wherever electrical nnd Bclcntlllrdoluotlons arc of value this woman's nnuio U known.

In the words of an eminent authority , physicians , when they use electricity , are also electrical englneerf , only their workshop holds problems of hoilth and of life nnd death. Like- all people who do the things that are really worth while do ing , Dr. Clea\es keeps her own counsel as to her achievements , and but for the InKlltiK.s let fall at the electrical headquarters where she gets her apparatus , and the testimony Melded by the pupils she has taught , her ability would only be Known to those til- I rcctl } concerned , the physicians she has as- > slsted and the patients she helped She It chief director In an exclusively electro-thern- potltlc clinic nnd Instructs graduated physi cians dally and weekly In the principles of electricity as a curative medium.

These phjslclans come from all parts of the country , from Oicgon and Washington , fiom Alabama and Ten nessee nnd even from India. Ur Cleaves also writes for the medical Journals on sub jects pertaining to her woik and she has devised various electric apparatus tending to promote convenience In certain phases ot treatment. These are recognized as ofalue to the profession. Dr. Cleaves' proficiency Is additionally Interesting bec.iuno her college - lego and , later , her phjslclan'a course wire finished and complete some time before she took up the ilutly of electricity. A graduate of the Iowa State university , she had gained a name for heiojlf and held various Impor tant olllccs In Htato medical and charitable institution * , both In Iowa and In Pennsyl vania before she turned to electricity as an aid to medicine. She Is unmarried , ab sorbed in her profession and on every pos'- slblo occasion goes abroad for further htudy and experiment In electrical science. Dr. Cleaves was formerly Instiuctcr In electro therapeutics at the Post CJraduato Medical school , the only woman to occupy n place of the wort In any Now York hospital. Thcio are fitly ploslclans in this country having women assistants whom they have Instructed nnd who they say are elllciont In administering electric treatment. These women are famll'ar with the electric arc bath as n substitute for sunshine to a diseased or ailing body. They Know about hydro electric applications , gahanic ciinents and something about dose measurements. They are not scientists , but , from constant fa miliarity with electrical apparatus nnd its manipulation , they arc able to treat patients On the subject of women In electrical mat- tero it Is of Intercbt to know that ono of the ( he examiners In the electrical department at the patent ofllce In Washington Is a woman She has boon at her post for many > ears , and was ono of the first women In the coun try to study electricity as a science Her duties Include the keeping track of all In ventions and applications for inventions re lating to electricity in any form , and .she his to have practical as well ns scientific knowl edge of the availability of the articles sub mitted.

H Is a proposal of man luge for the hand of nn Egyptian prlncceu and It was written 3,500 years ago It is In the form of un Inscribed brick , and Is therefore not only the oldest , but the most substantial love letter In existence. The first silver wedding dates back to the time of Hugues Capet. Two servants be longing to him Ind grown gray in bin s vice , a man and a woman , nnd what could ho do as a reward ? Calling the woman ho said "Your service Is great , greater than this man's whoso service Is great enough , for the woman alwajs finds \\orlc harder than a man , and , therefore , I will give you a reward. At your age , I know ot none better than a dowry nnd a husband. The dowry Is here this farm from this time forth be longs to you. If this man who has worked with you flvo and twenty > ears Is willing to marry you , then the husband Is ready. " "Your majesty , " said the old peasant , "how Is It poFslblo that we should marry , having already silver hnlrs ? " "Then It shall be n silver wedding , " and the King gave the couple silver enough to keep them In plenty. This soon became Known all over Franco and raised such enthusiasm that It became a fashion after twcnty-fivo years of married life to celebrate a sliver wedding. The practice of the wlfo assuming the husband's name at marriage a Hainan custom and originated soon after the Iloman occupation. Julio married to Pompey , became - came "Julia of Pompey. " In latter times married women olgned their names in the .same manner , but omitted the "of. " How ever , during the sixteenth nnd seventeenth centuries , the usage seems doubtful , since wo find Catharine Parreo signing herself after she had been twicemarried. . In Ice land the opposite- has nhvujH been thu custom. There , after marrU e , the husbana assumes the wife's name. The word "wedding" Is derived from the "wed" or security which the Anglo-Saxon bridegroom gave at espousals for the duo . Thin "wed" performance of hi * contract. was held by 'Uustees , and , In addition' ' to II , the groom were an espousal ring. As for the wedding ring , It was flist designed by I'romclheus , according to 'tradition ' , nnd fashlcned out of adamant and Iron by Tuba ! Cain , and was given by Adam to his ton to this end , that ho therewith should eepouec n wife. Our wedding cake Is the remains of n cus tom whereby a Roman bride held In her left hnnd three wheat cars , and many centuries later an English bride worea chaplet of v , heat. Tha hrldecmalds threw grains of coin or binall bits of cake upon the heads of the newly married and the guests picked up the pieces and ate them. The wedding eako did not eomo Into general use until the Intt century and was then eompo.se 1 of Eolld blocks , laid together , Iced all ov T , BO that when the outer crust was broken over the brldo's head the caKes liihldc fell on the floor and were distributed among ilu guests. Hrldal favors are of Danish oilgln. the trim lover's knot having been UrM diolgned by Danish hearth and deriving Its designation from the Danish truolofi - "I plight my troth.
