Paris, Aug. 21.-It is now known
that re-ballots will have to be taken in
155 districts. The results Of these re-
ballots will undoubtedly mostly be IA
vorable to republicans.
The majorities given the several min
listers in their respective districts ag-
gregate nearly 25,OOo more than their
combined majorities when standing for
election to the chamber in 1889. In
the last general election the BoulangiSts
returned thirty-tiye members. 1ester-
day they elected only three.
The defeat of the royalists is causing
much significant comment and it is
predicted it means the ultimate eXtinc
ton of that party. Departments hitherto
strongholds have been wrested from
them by republicans and the latter
are jubilant.

tumeric These are all pouned togeth-

When bottled it is the powder which
comes to us as Indian curry. Now is it
not worth admiring the wit and skill
that have brought together such mum
Der of ingredients, and out of them
have evolved in article so entirely
different from each, and in which there
is not one elementary trace?
In India curry is produced at first

EARLIER NEWS.

Paris, Aug. 21-The French elections
took place yesterday. For the seats
of the 5S4 deputies there were $500
candidates Inc best returns place the
figures as follows: Governmental re-
publicans and moderates, 30; radicals,
80; socialists, 80; conservative republi-
cans, go; monarchists and independ-
ants. 80.
NJ. FlOquet, president of the last
chamber will have to stand u second
time, as he falls short of an absolute
majority and will be defeated if his
adversaries combine against him. The
Panama scandal is the cause of his lost
popularity.
NJ. AndrieuX also falls short of the
necessary majority and he will certain
ly be defeated on the second ballot.
The results in the Draguignan dis
trict, where NJ. Clemenceau was can
didate, indicates that the radical lead
er will probably be defeated.
NJ. Richard, the former minister OF
Justice and the compromised in the
Panama affair, has been reelected. NJ
Rouvier and Raynal, who were mixed
up in the Panama affair, are elected.

WORDS ARE USILESS.
Dependent Women Most Simply Up

There has been and always will be
Il general controversy as to what is
the best occupation for Il woman if
Fate OrdainS that she must 20 out and
do battle with the world in order to
keep that gaunt wolf of poverty from
the door. 1t seems to us that words
are useless in picking and choosing
what is best, for ;hcrc is so much
against Il woman being able to make a
choice when such Il time comes.
Of course, if it were possible, her
incljnations and natural talent should
guide her, but where that is impossible
and the only way open is one that is
contrary 20 all that she feels cOngell-
ial, yet which at the same time is suf-
ficiently remunerative to Oblige her TO
take it, she can prove to the world
that she is as much of a lady in call
ing that she despises as in one chat
suits her in every way.
Life is too short to sit down with
Micawber and wait for something to
turn UP. Women as we'll as men must
make opportunities for themselves, and
no matter what line of work opens be-
fore them they can prove to the world
at large their true womanlineSs, Wheth-
er they are surrounded by the shelter
ing care of home life or thrown upon
their own responsibilities to labor, side
by side, with the wage earners Of the
land.
1t is, however, no way to prove that
you are a lady to continually revile at
fate that compels you to work. Es-
TEEN will not be added to the crown
of the girl who harps on what she has
been and who meets with but i'll grace
the daily duties that her position calls
for. Actions, not words, will tell the
story, and at whatever employment a
woman must labor for her bread, the
bright unvarying courage thai She
brings to bear upon it and the ever
hopeful looking forward to better
things rather than discomfort over
what cannot be helped will serve her
in good stead and prove tha1 even
though a freedom Of choice in the mat
ter was not granted her, she is still
even in uncongenial work as much
lady as though she could have selected
an occupation more in keeping with
her nature.
