A Lady Physician in the Holy Land.
A Scottish clergyman tells us that when travelling recently in Palestine, not far from the fountains of Banias, he saw the Stars and Stripes fluttering in the breeze.
“Coming up,” he says, “we found a cluster of tents, and standing to welcome us an American lady who is doing a splendid work as a physician in Palestine and northern Syria. For eight months of the year she lives in tents, moving from Acohs in the south to Baalbek in the north. Having a full medical qualification, she is the only lady permitted to practise in Syria, and as she is something of a specialist in eye diseases, she draws patients from far and near.”
Who wants Work?
We cannot all be heroes,And thrill a hemisphereWith some great daring venture,Some deed that mocks at fear;But we can fill a lifetimeWith kindly acts and true;There’s always noble serviceFor noble souls to do.C. A. Mason.

We cannot all be heroes,
And thrill a hemisphere
With some great daring venture,
Some deed that mocks at fear;
But we can fill a lifetime
With kindly acts and true;
There’s always noble service
For noble souls to do.

To which class do you belong?—“The human race is divided,” says Oliver Wendell Holmes, “into two classes: those who go ahead and do something, and those who sit and inquire, ‘Why wasn’t it done the other way?’”
Borrowed Money.
Mrs. Smiley:“I make it a rule never to ask a lady to return money she has borrowed from me.”
Mrs. Dobson:“Then how do you manage to get it?”
Mrs. Smiley:“Oh, after I have waited a considerable time, if she fails to pay up, I conclude that she is not a lady, and then I ask her.”
Musical Performers.—The question has recently been asked whether it is justifiable for a pianist to express to her hearers what she conceives to be the emotional characteristics of the music she is playing by facial play and gesticulations? Certainly not.
