FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.

Poor Marie Bashkirteeff's last resting
place in the cemetery ut Passy is de-
scribed by contributor to Woman as
attracting few pilgrims from among
the multitudinous visitors TO Paris.
The tomb, however, massive struc-
ture IN white stone, towering far above
the tombs by which II is surrounded
presents many remarkable features.
Its inscription consists of the titles of
twenty-four of the young artists pic
torial and sculptursl works. and q
verse of original poetry lsments her
unumely death, and speaks of her
youth. beauty and genius. If, addr

path leading past the right hand SIDE OF
the tomb, your attention will be ar
rested by a glass door opening into the
interior of tae monument, whose frs,
aspect in norway calls to mind any of
the usual mournful associations con
nected with death. A pleasant, spaci-
Gus. well lighted, srtistcslly furnished
apartment meets the gaze. Carpets,
stars, footstools. cushions. art pottery
and draperies once used by

MICHIGAN REDEEMED.

With the general result hard against
US there Is every reason for. rejoicing
In the splendid victory achieved in this
state. Senator Mcmillan estimates that
the head of the state ticket is elected
by Is, 900 plurality and that nine con-
gressmen are saved to buffet the free
traders in the house. This estimate is
perhaps q hopeful one, but it is based
on the best returns obtainable.
The legislature will be republican on
joint ballot, insuring the return OF q
republican United States senator. This
is glory indeed for Michigan, and every
loyal heart will rejoice to know the
state stands true to the principles of
the dear old party. The rout of the
squawbucks means that the Ubiquitous
Miner bill will be swept from the stat
ute books of Michigan. never again to
dishonor them until its general appli.
cation to all the states is assured.
The results in the state are not yet
definitely ascertained, but it is prob
aDle that with plurality OF lo,OOO on
the head of ticket both Diekema and
Hooker have overcome the strength of
the fusion forces and laid Ellis and
Newton out. IL this shall prove to be
true the victory will be one of the most
complete and gratifying ever won in
this state. The counties remote from
travel and communication are slow to
maks returns and the actual issue Of
the contest will not be known until the
very last of the week, but the knowl-
edge that John t. Rich and the legis-
Isture are elected will compensate for
this delay.

THE BABY SHOW.

Evidently tho Judges Didn't Know the
Strength of q Mothers Pride.
The results are not serious-sixty-four
angry mothers and three disheartened
and weary men who acted as judges.
The show was cid at Pottstown, Pa,
according to the New York Sun, and
sixty-five babies were entered to COM
pete for a kitchen range. To quote the
dispatch: zones child named Schlicter,
won this appropriate toy, and now the
mothers of the sixty-four other cherubs
are raving at the judges of the show In
manner to put the widest tiger to
shame" One of the judges was held to
be prejudiced, being the uncle of the
prize baby. One mother said, in the
words of the report, that she had been
so confident of her baby's winning the
range that few days before the ex-
hibition she sold her old kitchen stove.
Afterward she was compelled to buy it
back for dollar more than she had
sold it for. She spoke through tears. +"
Another fond parent exhibited an
eleven-months' baby that weighed
twenty-six pounds and had hair four
inches long. This baby could pro-
nounce elephant and other difficult
words of three syllables with ease, and
had a full set of milk teeth. The
Schlicter baby, she claimed. was in
comparison with hers hideous brute;
the net result being that 1.-The three
