Women Advancing Even in Russia.
The emancipation of women is making rapid progress in Russia. Following the example of one of the western cities in the United States, the inhabitants of the little town of Kniazeff have elected a woman, Alexandra Lyne by name, to the post of starosto, or mayor, on the ground that she was the person most fitted to be intrusted with the interests of the community.
A Mohammedan woman, a native of Bakshe-Serai, in the Crimea, has recently passed, with flying colors, her examination as physician and surgeon at Odessa, and, having received her diploma, is now practicing medicine among the Mohammedan ladies of the district from which she hails. Her name is Dr. Razie Koutloiaroff-Hanum, and hers is the first case on record of a Mohammedan lady practicing medicine as understood by western nations. Women, too, are now being employed for the first time by the government as telegraphic clerks and ticket agents on the Transcaspian railroad.
