 The Royal Holloway college in England, founded and endowed by MT. Holloway in the hope that it will one day become uni versity for women, covers more ground than any other college in the world. The building is in the style of the French Renaissance, and is carpeted with Turkish carpets, warmed by both steam and open grates, and lighted by electricity. It con- tains nearly 1000 rooms, allowing suit of apartments to each one of the 250 stu dents it accommodates. Sound proof rooms are arranged to minimize the amount of annoyance caused by the practice of different musical instruments. It has a superb picture gallery, the collection be- ing valued at about $500, 900. Girls are prepared for London degrees and Oxford examinations
 An interesting use of electricity is about industry at that place is the manufacture of silk ribbon, and most of the large out put of some s21, ,OOO, 900 year is the pro- duct of house industry. Generally the weavers own their own looms and operate them by hand in their own homes. There are 1S, 900 looms thus distributed about, while the steam power factories have only 5000 looms. Now the city of St. Etienne intends to set up large electric-power plant and distribute power to the looms of the house wesvers and as well supply light The cost of the undertaking and the conversion of the hand looms will be borne in the first instance by the city, and a charge will be imposed of seven cents a day per loom for the use of current and motor The plan is regarded with great favor by the hand weavers.
 An observer of the political situation in Utah declares that both the Republicans and Democrats are bidding against each other for Mormon favors, as in the old Nauvoo days. "The Democrats" he says, s'offer, by means of the Faulkner bill, to place the territory more absolutely in Nor mon hands than it ever was before, even when Brigham Young was governor. The Republicans go the Democrats one better offering to open to the people whom within six months tkey sought to disfranchise the ranks of the shining sisterhood of Ameri-. can States" The Mormons, he asserts, have strenuously sought Statehood for | more than forty years, but down to 1867 they persisted in their prac- tices, even courting conviction and impris- onment under the Edmunds law. But | upon the total exclusion of all Mormons from Idaho, the approval thereof by the | United States Supreme court, and the con sequent admission of Idaho into the Union, the Mormons in Utah changed their tao tics, and the manifesto suspending polyga- my was put forth by President Woodruff. | From this act the observer draws the con | clusion that after all "worldly, and not | spiritual, power is the aim of Mormon ex- istence," and he believes that Mormonism | as political institution is as much to be feared and combated in the future as Nor monism as a slsvish and brutal creed has been in the past.
