traiis have all passed the necessary
acts providing funds for the con-
struction by the British Govern
ment of several ships of war TO be
devoted exclusively to the defense
of the Australian colonies. II is also
proposed TO establish inter-colonial
free trade through Australia.
Whether imperial federation, as adj
vocated by Lord Roseberry, comes
or not, all signs point TO the GER
tainty of an Australian union that
will present on the opposite side OF
the world a copy of the United
States of America. The Australians
are much dissatisfied with the
course of the British Government
in permitting other European ma
tons to gain a foothold in Poly

throwing the most odious light
upon Emin's disinclination to leave

officer, whose wife Emin had taken
away. The officer wanted to kill

was prevented by Stanley.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
MINORITY REPORT.

The Minority Report of the
Foreign Affairs Committee pre-
sensed by Noble Baldwin, the full
text of which has been published
in these columns, is in many ways
one Of the most notable reports
which has been presented to the
Legislature. The situation was a
peculiar one. The majority report
was a violent partizan document,
not merely abusive IN its terms,
but actually supplementary in its
language. Under these circum
stances it would have been no won
der if the minority report had
shown something of the same want
OF temper and measure. But nothing
OF these qualities is visible in this
report. which is conspicuous by its
moderation, fairness and candor.
The report amounts, indeed, to a
complete vindication of the foreign
policy OF the late Ministry, but it
is 50, not through any ingenious CT
elaborate augmentation, but be-
cause it is a calm, complete aud OBJ
Jective statement of the facts. 1t is
the first exhaustive statement of
the kind which has been laid before
the public, and as such deserving of
the most careful attention.
1t was very fitting that this

which it had been 80 bitterly at

THE TIDE AT MlNAs BASIN.
A Wall OF water Eight Feet High Running
Ten Miles an Hour.

The Bay of Fundy forms a cul-de-saL
Mt which the Atlantic Ocean seems toi
have taken a spite. and at regular in-l
tervals pours in its waters viciously
and with intent to do all possible harm.
Take for instance the harbor of st.
John. In most parts of the world a
tide of from to 10 feet is quite sufii'
ccnt to satisfy all reasonable demands.
In st. John harbor the tide rises Fl
feet on an ordinary day, and OCCASION
ally varies the monotony by pushing
the mark up three or four feet, as the
humor seizes it, and l was never struck
so much with anything in my life as
with this advance and receding of the
waters.
have described the narrow gorge
through which the st. John River is
forced into the Bay of Fundy. At low
tide, where the water drops into the
bay, there is fall of some ten feet, the
channel being very rough and totally
impossible for vessels of any descrip-
ton. At high water the fall is the other
way, the bay falling into the river.
This was the first time that l had seen
river with the water flowing from its
mouth toward its source, and this
occurs every day in the st. John. One
good effect of the tide is this, that when
il is half up or half down the river is
level with the harbor, and then the i'm
mense number of timber barges and
other craft, which have gathered in the
river while waiting for the rise and
fall, are able to run nicely and easily
out into the harbor. st. John, be it
understood. is great port for ship
ping. At any day you can see dozen
of the largest ocean-going vessels load
ing deals for different parts of the
world. This timber mainly comes
down the st. John river.
saw the tide come in around the
headland ut the Minas Basin, and it is
sight worth going to see. The head
of the advancing tide is called "a bore"
If you can imagine straight wall of
water eight feet high, curling over at
the top, advancing upon you at the
rate Of ten miles per hour, you will get
an idea of what "bore" is and what
a turn of the tide means. At the Minas
Basin this wall of water comes tearing
around the headland like IN express
train, and the man who was down on
the fiat sands of the bay at this time
stood remarkable good chance of
never leaving the sands alive. If he
got good start of the bore he might
escape and if he did not he was drowned.
You cannot fool with the tide of Mnas
Basin. 1t is plaything that the native
who is acquainted with the animal
avoids. The rise of the tide at Minas
Basin is forty-tive feet.
At the extreme head of the Bay of
Fundy the tide rises from sixty-five to
seventy-tive feet, and runs at the rate
of fifteen miles AN hour. This is not
only the highest tide in the known
world, but it is double the height, l am
told, of any other known tide.-Port-
land advertiser.

Whence Women Camc.

Woman's first appearance has been
n fruitful subject for the legend-mon.
gers. The Ph9nician myth of crea-
ton is found in the story of Pygmalion
and Galatea. There the first woman
ivory and then endowed with life by
Aphrodite. The Greek theory of the
creation of woman, according to Hesiod,
was that Zeus, as a cruel jest, ordered
Vulcan to make women out of clay.
and then induced the various gods and
goddesses to invest the clay doll with
all their worst qualities, the result be-
ing lovely thing, with a witchery of
mien. refined craft, eager passion, love
of dress, treacherous manners, and
shameful mind. The Scandinavians
say that as Odin, Will, and We, the three
sons of Dor, were walking along the
sea beach they found two sticks of
wood. one of ash and one of elm. Sit
ting down, the gods shaped man and
woman out of these sticks, whiting
the woman from the elm and calling
her Emia.
One of the strangest of stories touch
ing the origin of women is told by the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. III 50 IuI rs TIC CIt-
ton of man goes the legend is not un-
like that related by Moses, only that
the fall came before Eve arrived. AT
ter the man had eaten the forbidden
fruit he became afflicted with boil on
the leg, out of which, when it burst,
came beautiful girl. The mans first
thought was to throw her to the pigs;
but he was commanded by voice
from heaven to let her play among the
diggings until she was of marrlageble
age, then to make her his wife. He
did so, called her Baboura, and she
became the mother of all the races of
men. The American Indian myths
relative to ADAM aid Eve are numer-
Gus and entertaining. Some traditions
trace back our parents to white and
red maize; another is that man, search
ing wife, was given the daughter of
the king of muskrats, who, being dip
ped into the waters of a neighboring
lake, became q woman. Tab

Great Society Beauties.

The great beauties who take the
social prizes in marriage, says a Lon
don letter in the Ladies Home Journal,
are almost all bred in the lesser towns,
where less conventional society gives
woman snatch at freedom in girl
hood. You don't find them growing
up with calisthenics, health lifts and a
massageuse TO do their exercise for
them.
You all remember the painful story
of a girl in city home, surrounded by
every care, who was strangled in the
cords of her "health pull" one evening
little more than year since. Scarcely
more pitiful is her fate than that of
girls brought up to depend on such
substitutes for work and exercise If
they live. A sick, anemic woman, I'M
used. unable to care for herself or
others, is the most pitiable, repugnant
object in creation. You seldom find a
lasting beauty which has not had a
semi-Grcek education OF outdoor life
and exercise behind it.
Take the beautiful Gunings, who
ran wild in their Irish country home
till their calculating mamma had
raked and scraped enough to take them
to Dublin and thence to London. The
Cummings were unlicensed hoidens,
but their races over the hills gave
them matchless compilations. Later
still Mrs. Langtry took her beauty
course, rowing the Jersey lanes with
her brothers in soft, pure sea air, living
On peaches and coarse bread, with just
as little of lessons as sufficed to fit her
for London drawing rooms.

Just How to Cut a Justices Gown

The Supreme court is place of
traditions and precedents, and even
the cut and make of the gowns of the
Justices are so well defined by custom
that there is bnt little scope left for the
individual taste of the owner.
An authority on this subject says
that the gown is made of wide straight
widths. At the bottom it is three
wards and a quarter wide, and il comes
down to the ankles. The gown has
narrow hem around the bottom and a
broad one straight down the front. At
the top il is gagged to n yoke. which
is short on the shoulders and forms a
deep scallop at the back. This yoke
has silk lining between the out
side and the inner one of silk. The
sleeves are a yard and n quarter wide
and reach to the hands. The lining of
the sleeves is formed by doubling the
material at the bottom, turning it up
on the inside. and placing it about "a
quarter of yard above the bottom to
a narrower silk lining, which nicely
fits the Justices arm. The arrange
ment makes the lower part of each
sleeve appear TO be wide. loose puff.
The sleeves are gagged to a yoke on
the shoulders with many rows of
gauging, but not so many at the back
of the gown, where it is quarter of .
yard deep.
One woman has made the gowns for
the last forty years. and she gets 800
for ever one of them. They are made
alike, the only difference being in the
material. the chief justice wearing
black Chinese satin, while his asso-
ciates are robed in black silk. The
chief justice always rSsrs new gown
when he swears in a president. The
new GOWNS always subject to good
deal Of criticism by the older justices,
and its fit is closely scauued.-BastOD

Senator Leland Stanford's affection
for his dead son does not seem to have
lost strength, even though several
years have passed since the young man
died. The Senator is never satisfied to
remain anywhere that he cannot have
a portrait of his son on the wall of his
room. When he visits New York he
always stops at a certain hotel, and re-
quires the same apartment because il
has been furnished with such n por-
trait by himself. In the great Leland
mansion at San Francisco half dozen
portraits of the dead boy hang from
the walls in as many different rooms,
and there are profusion Of similar
