 The curse of shoddyism and similar
 robbery, would seem not to be confined to this country. A trial is now going on at Lille, in France, against the furnishers
 of shoes with paper soles to the army of
 the north during the late war, and the most fragrant rascalities are being brought
 to light in the investigation. One un-
 fortunate sufferer, soldier in the second
 battalion of the first legion, testified to
 the following effect: Some days before the
 battle of St. Quentin shoes were distrib-
 uted among the men of his company and
 two pairs came to his share He put on
 one pair on the morning of the day pre-
 ceding the battle, and by midday they
 weae completely played out, literally fall
 ing from his feet. At midday he put on
 the other, but by four o'clock they too
 had gone almost, and when he attempted
 next day to march in them they fairly dis nnln 1n that 6ondiJlbn To marCn bareaoUiea in the intense cold, by which his feet were so terribly frost bitten that he
 had afterwards to submit to amputation. This poor fellow has only recently come
 out of the hospital. He manages to move
 along by the aid of two crutches,. is per
 fectly incapacitated for work, and has con-
 sequently become an object of public
 charity, while-so says French paper in-
 dignantly-the furnishers of these shoes
 are enjoying their enormous and ssanda-
 lously earned fortunes. .,.t-.
 WILL WOMAN VoTE-The London Ex-
 aminer, noting the assertion that women could not be induced to vote if they had the right, thus refers to the statistics of
 their conduct in the municipal elections where they already enjoy the privilege.
 It gives the result of sixty-six contested municipal elections. These are not se- lected cases, but are exhaustive so far as statistics can be obtained. The result is that out of every 1000 women on the reg
 ister 519 went to the poll, as compared with 564 out of every 1000 men on the
 register. The lesson of those elections is
 more striking when the actual figures are given. Out of 27,946 women registered
 where 8 contest occurred, IA, ,416 voted.
 Of men, there were 166, 787 on the regis
 ter, and 94, ,O8O at the poll. Making al-
 lowance for the reluctance of old spinsters
 to change their habits, and the more fre-
 quent illnesses of the sex, it is manifest
 that women, if they had the opportunity,
 would exercise the franchise as freely as
 men. There is an end, therefore, of the
 argument that women would not vote if
 they had the power
