A Woman Corresponding.

The special correspondent of the
London Times, whose collected
"Letters from South Africa" have
lust been published in book form,
and whose able letters from Aus
tralia are now running in that
journal, is lady-Miss Flora
Shaw. \ discussion on journalists
and their methods was once going
on, in which Lord CrOmer, who
had seen a good deal of special cor
respondents, took part. Somebody
made remark sighting to the
average journalistic thirst for ac-
curacy. The British Minister--who
was, of course, a financer before he
was a diplOmatistc cited from hiscX-
perience striking exception. y
journalist had come to him once
about financial matter of great
public importance, but tedious and
complex in its details. He CX-
pounded it, but never expected to
see in print anything more than
some loose, and, perhaps, not very
accurate, generalization to the sub
ject, in the sequel, he was agree
ably surprised by an exposition OF
the case to the public at once lucid,
detailed and absolutely correct.
"And that" he concluded, "was
oddly enough, lady journalist"
1t was Miss Shaw, who is prob
ably better informed on colonial,
affairs than almost any other
London journalist.

Dickens Sister.

London Times.
Letitia Mary Dickens, whose
deaths has been recently announce
ed, was born in st. Mary's place,
Chatham,whcn her brother Charles
was about / years old. That was
in 1916, on April %, a birthday she
was proud TO share with Shakes
peare. She was one, of eight broth
ers and sisters, two Of whom died
in infancy. OF the two Dickens
girls who grew up she was the
Younger, her sister Fanny, after
ward Mrs. Burnett, being six years
her senior. Mrs. Burnett died in
early married life; her husband,
who survived her for many years,
dying only this year, and on the
date of Charles Dickens birthday.
For the last twenty-five years of
his life Charles Dickens, therefore,
had this only sister, Letitia; and
she survived him for like period
of twenty-five years, devoted to his
memory. With her has passed
away the last of the eight children
of John and Elizabeth Dickens.
At the age of 20 she married Mr..
Henry Austin, a civil engineer Of
some repute. He worked for the
government, when the insanitary
condition Of some country districts
seemed an invitation to the cholera
in the early 40s; and when he died
in 1861, at the age Of so, his widow
became the recipient Of a pension,
on which she lived in Spartan dig
nifty during thirty-two years of
mourning.

FIX THE RESPONSIBILITY.

The gloomy prospect at Washington is
thai the attempt to pass the Silver Pur-
chase Repeal bill Internationally in the
Senate will be a failure. The majority
profess to be In favor Of unconditional
repeal. a small minority only Is against
repeal But II Is confidently pre- ilctei
that the majority Will be defeated by the
minort.y, ana that unconditional repeal

The duty Of pressing the vote until its
failure .s positively established ana the
causes made manifest becomes all the
more imperative in consequence OF this
announcement 1t can fan only through
TIE treacheIy OF profcsscIly Repeal
Democrats or the factional intrigu.s Of
Republicans who, while declaring them
selves IN favor o: protecting the country,
are more deslrOus OF emLarrass the
Administration.

House after fair opportunity had been
afforded its opponents for debate. with

promptness considering the importance
Of the measure aud the determined char

Yesterday the House redeemed an
other Of the pledges to which 1t owes
its large Democratic majority by pass

Federal Election laws. The majority in
favor OF repeal was 80 in vote Of 31l
These laws were designed to erect n
Republican prOtectorate around the bal

enforcement. They have also been made

Senate, where II will be handled by SEN

SMOKING Room ia Indian StyIr.

Here are a few hints on furnishing a
smoking-room in Indian style. The
walls are the first consideration; these
should first of all be papered with oil
ground paper, red or warm yellow. ac-
cordng If the aspect of the room is
light or dark; the paint, If the red
scheme is adopted, should be just the
same tint-real Indian red-but oak
brown paint will look best with the yell
low; very little of it will show in any
case. The walls must further be adorn-
ed with both frieze and dado of printed
Indian cotton, and bearing all sorts of
quaint devices. birds, beasts, queer tur-
baned soldiers mounted on strange
steeds and bright hued flowers filling up
odd corners. The frieze and dado should
be held in place by rails" either of
split bamboo or of wood painted to
match the rest of the woodwork. The
ceiling should be covered with bright
tinted phulkaris, stretched tightly over
and secured at the cornice with a
wooden or bamboo moulding. The little
disks of shining metal let into these
draperies create capital effect, or u
proper ceiling piece of printed Indian
cotton may be fixed either in the same
manner, or tent fashion, II the room is
high enough, with a wrought meta
lamp suspended from the centre, The
window curtains may be of plain Dacca
muslin or Indian reed. Two quaint
tables and few odd-shaped chairs com
plete the furniture, unless diyan IL
added. In case this may be erected by
an inexperienced upholsterer remember
that the framework must be only
