WOMEN IN THE HOUSE.

The woman suffrage question has just
assumed a varied phase in Congress. The
adverse majority report in the House
says it would be useless and pernicious
for women to vote. The minority report
says there is no reason why she should
not. Representative Dorsheimer's re-
port is to the effect that she ought not
to vote now, but that she may vote
later; while MI. Poland says the Office
and duty which nature has devolved
upon the sex renders the question i'm
practicable.

In Berlin q great deal of excitement
has been caused by the official returns
Of the Military Department Of the Gov
eminent which have just been made

the growing dissemination on the part
of the male population Of Germany to
undergo military training and service is
seriously menacing to the empires
military strength. There were IA, 702
men sentenced during the past year
for attempting to emigrate to avoid the
required military service, and cases
against IA. ITS more offenders in this
particular are still pending. But worse
still, the number Of other men from
whom ~reservice is due and who during
the year past have refused to report
for duty and to furnish required excuses
for failure to enroll themselves,
amounted TO the extraordinary number
Of 103, 251. The publication Of these
facts IN official form has started tile
general public and produced the great
est anxiety in the German War Office.
It is said the Emperor is greatly en-
ragged over this decliae in the military

Under the Dead Sea.

The well-known writer Gregorovius
has just published, under the title of
"a Ride to the Dead Sea-" an interest
ing sketch of the famous lake. He
substantially confirms all the tradi-
tional characteristics, except as to the
appearance of the landscape and some
other minor particulars. He declares
that no Sicilian bay or Gulf of Corinth
presents more varied or beautiful col
oring, only the water seems darker, as
if of molten metal. He denies the gen.
eral statement that no bird flies over
its waters, and that its shores are with
out vegetation. But he confirms the
tradition that no living thing is found
in it; fish coming down by the Jordan
die at once on coming within its bounds.
The water is so "thick" that he moved
in it with difficulty; its bitterness was
terrible; the bottom was slippery, like
soap, and one can scoop up with the
hand II slime like mortar. The touch
of it causes great smart to the eyes.
While the temperature of the atmos-
phere was 60 degrees Fahrenheit that
of the water in the Dead sea was GA
degrees. On coming out of it the body
was thickly incrusted with crystals Of
salts of magnesia and soda.
