Her. grea. executive genius assorted itself

Her social attractions were simply irresistible.

Her appreciation Of art had enabled her

Three notable women have been lost to the
world within the past few weeks,-women whose
places it will be difficult to supply. Each differ
ed from the other in character and in calling,
vet a1l we're alike in the womanliness Of their
lives and the delicious charm Of their influence
They were Mrs. Mary Somerville, the Viscountess
Beaconsfeld, and Mrs. Harrison Gray Otis,-
the death OF the latter having occurred a few
days ago at her home in Boston. Each Of these
remarkable women was known all over the
world in the particular sphere in which
she had exerted her talents and influence; and
riety, or in any way cultivated the attention OF
tho public. Mrs. Mary Somervillo attained q
high and useful position in mathematics and
scicnco, penetrating greater depths than many
of her male contemporaries Of renown, and COM
manding the confidence and admiration Of the
scientific world. Yet she accomplished all this
| without sacrificing any OF the domestic and
social charms OF womanhood. She remaincd
good and loving wife, fond and careful
mother, brilliant and attractive society
woman Tho Countess Beecons1eld was the
factor OF Eisraeli's SUCCESS. Married to this
brilliant but erratic man at the turningpoint Of
his life she gave q direction to his abilities
which led him On to the greatness that lie would
never otherwise have attained. She devoted
hor fortune md all her social attractions to his
advancement. She inspired his books, encour-
aged his oratory, and had that abiding faith
which impressed nation with her own conric-
tions. Her fame became worldwide when
Disrasli declined the Peerage, which had
been p1offered him, in her IA
yor, thus publicly acknowledging the debt OF
gratitude and the fund Of affect1on which he
cherished for her.
Mrs. Harrison Gray Otis, OF Boston. was not
less remarkable for the influence which she
exerted, tho work she did, aud tho manner in
which she accomplished it. Had she been
woman Of great wealth, her charities might hare
been less respected, aad would certainly have
been the moro easily performed. Had she been
tho wife of g President or q great
statesman. her intense ratriotism md
exalted position would have been lees
striking. Had eho been professional
character, her brilliant talents would have been
the mora readily understood. But here was
woman who Nas left widow Is early as 1927,
with moderate means, and family Of three
children to support; q woman OF great beauty
who never remarked, and never entered into
public life Yet, for more than thirty years, and

peculiar briliancy to attrsc. tho admiration Of
the highest social circles all over the world and
Of that eminent usefulness to command the grati-

The prussian Government 1s threatened with
a huge lawsuit for it's summary closing OF the
German gambling houses. According to the
contract held by the Company with the local
go7drnmentH, made before the Prussian Govern
ment had its present Jurisdiction, the Hom-
bourg privileges extended to 1896, and those OF
Wiesbaden to 1881. The Company propose to
claim tho sum Of e0,0oo,0oo francs, or abont
SIS, 600, 600, in damages for forfeting this coz
tract, 1t is said that, while the subject vas
undor debate, Councillor Von Wohlers cornmis-
sioner Of tho Governmentin the Prusslan Clam
ber, declared that the Government would
DO liable for tho profits which tho Gambling
Company would have to sacrifice. As roulette
and rouge-e:-noir are claimed to be games Of
chance, and the Company might possibly be
stripped of the profits which it has nads In tho
past, might not the Government claim en Offset
in the loszes from which it has saved the Gam
ng Company by declaring it's privileges void It
Is asserted further that the Company, being
composed mostly Of Fronchmen, will appeal to
tho French Assembly for Intervention but it is
not probable that France will care to further
complca.e its relations with Germany for the
benefit of its gamblers.

Secretary may DO elevated to Secretary OF Le-

ence ut the rate Of Fl per day, but must pay tho
travelling expenses Of his family and servants,
as well As his own, when they are incurred for
his own pleasure or convenience.
After fixing conditions and salaries, tho fl
teenth regulation provides as follows: "1t is to
be distinctly understood that, in tho future, all
the members Of the diplomatic service will be
expected to take their turn in Whatever part OF
the world their services may be required, and
that, except as regards Teheran and Pekin,
where no accommodation can be procured for
married men, every Secretary or attache, whether
married or unmarried, must ba prepared to go
to tho post at which the requirements OF the
public service demanded his presence, and to
which ho may be appointed" The remainder

providing for an interchange Of employment
between Secretaries Of the various grades and
junior clerks at stated periods, for annual re-
ports from the heads OF missions on the conduct
Of Secretaries and junior attaches, for deduc-
tions from salaries when leave Of absence IL
granted, and for temporary allowances when the
occupancy of q mission is disturbed by war.
The regulations are very voluminous, but re
have already indicated sufficient to show wig
it is that the English diplomatic service is the
finest and most systematic in tho world. Tho
absence Of the stringent but judicious safe
guards of the English system in our own system
accounts for the fact that our diplomatic service
is so incompetent, and so often scandalous to
the good name and credit OF the country. When
availability, intelligence, and character are made
tho tests, instead Of partisan service, we may
expect to be represented abroad by fewer igno-
ramuscs and men of the Butler and Cramer
stamp, a1d not until that time.

Mr.. Summers pet hostility to that general sen-
timcnt Of society OF government which he calls
'sc.ste," is scarcely sustained by the doctrines
advanced by the modern school Of sauans. To
take Alr. Darwins theory as ! starting point, it
might reasonably be maintained that natural
selection" indicated the right of every indi-
vidual to choose his own condition and avail
hirneolf Of all opportunities This may be t1us in
the abstract; but, practically, "natuzal
selection" is necessarily followed by
the establishment Of Ceste,-the new,
stronger, and superior species naturally lordlng
it over the species they hare left behind them.
This principle has been recognized BY Mr. Wal
ter Dsgehot, in his treatment Of the connection
between s" "PhyEics and Politics." He maintains
that, il we so back far enough in history, we
ind man without any traditions OF civilization,
which was subsequently provided By the ad-
rantages Of one physical organization over an
other, aud transmitted through the nervous
organization by means Of hereditary inhu-
ences. It was in this primitive condition that
the law Of 'snatural selection" asEerted itself.
It YVES found that the stronger prevailed over
the weaker. Strength was discovered to be IN
accompaniment Of the virtues Of abstinence and
regularity. These qualities we're cultivated to
the end Of superiority, and marked the departure
from barbarism to civilization. Il this theory
be co1ect, Caste is contemporaneous with the
DEVELOPMENT Of civilization. The beginning Of

There has never before been such m extensive
or persistent strike in England or Wales.
Tho recent strike OF the farm labore1s
through the north Of England is
dwarfcd into insigni6canco BY it, and what adds
to its distressing character is the fact that both
the masters anl men refuse indoxibly to yield d
single point in their demands, and that large

port. Tho latest dispatches indicate that the
strike is still 1t it's height and tia. the masters,
in their efforts to solve the problem, have an
nounced their intention to import Cinnamon
from California, to work at the furnaces. This
threat, instead Of presenting any induce1nent for
the men to resume work, has only created bad
blood, and resulted in very direct intima-
tons Of nssassirations Of the masters if thoy
attempt to carry out their programme An Ar
bitration Of aome eort must settle the matter in

disastrous to the iron trade, by keeping the
prices 3. very high figure, thus operating as .

other countries, and shutting them out FROM the
