A SLIGHT MISUNDERSTANDING.

A correspondent writes that he regrets
to find 1.-The Evening World' making
light OF the slaughter OF English soldiers
by savages in Southern Africa. He
wholly mistakes our sentiments and our
position. "The Evening World" sympa-
thizes deeply with the English soldiers
who were sent by their Government to
massacre the people of Matabelcland in
order to clear the way for British ad-
vancement and British civilization. But
we feel some sympathy also for the un-
fortunate natives who have been shot
British bayonets In order to promote
the English policy,
If In the effort OF the Harrison Admin
istration 10 initiate the policy OF Great
Britain by ovcrthrowing the Government
OF the Hawaiians and stealing their
country. a conflict OF arms had taken
place In which a thousand of the natives
had been slaughtered and score of
our own marines had lost their lives,
we should have felt deep sorrow at the
fate of our soldiers. But that would not
have prevented us from sympathizinp
with the murdered Hawailans. We
might have regarded the death OF the
American marines as disaster with.
out glorifying the wholesale slaughter OF
the Hawaiians, fighting for their own
rights as creditablc and glorious
piece OF business.

From Small BEGINNINGS.

Sister Marie Augustine, founder Of the
Little Sisters of the Poor. lately died
in France. She was born in 1890. at
Saint Servan, and was known in the
world by the name of Marie Janet. In
early life she manifested great interest
In religious affairs, and was noted for
her care of the poor. In connection
with Virginie Tredamel and Jeanne JON
gan. she founded the charitable order
In the year 1S40. when she was but
twenty years old. The first convent OF
the order and the first home for old
people were established by Marie Angus
tine in her native town, and the next
In the city of Rennes. in 1916. From that
time on homes were established all over
the world, and they now number total
of 266, and shelter more than 10000 old
men and women. 1t is said that 10000
aged and INDECENT people have died In
the care OF the Little Sisters, who pro-
vided for them the shelter in their de-
clining years which they could not fur
nish for themselves.

ARE THEY FAILUREs1

The experience OF the big British bat
tle-ship Resolution In the Bay OF Riscay.
and Its narrow escape from CapsiZing,
have caused quite a panic in England,
and will occasion serious alarm In this
country.
The question whether the top-heavy
turreted ships that have recently been
built are to be trusted at sea Is very
serious one, and ought to be definitely
settled before Europe gets into another
war ENHANCEMENT. II there should he

would, In all probability, be fought on
the sea as well as on the land. A nice
condition nation would be In II her

lives of her own defenders than to those
OF her enemy. Yet II seems very proba-
BILE that the heavy turreted ships would
| stand on their own heads In an engage
| ment and deposit their armaments and
| their men at the bottom of the ocean.
Enough doubt Is felt over this matter
to make 1t an open question whether we

on the top-heavy ironclads thrown away,

BETTER LAWS NEEDED.

II Ia very necessary that the next
Legislature should make "A thorough re-
vision OF the laws defining the duties Of
the New York police force In regard TO
dsorderly resorts In the city.
II is conceded by all persons even by
the Rev Dr. Parkhurst, Who Is making
such vigorous efforts to urroot such
places that II is impossible to get rid
Of the evil altogether. hut II the law
demands its entire eradication, the ex-
istence OF single disorderly house in n
precinct must subject the police not on v
to the suspicion Of favorIng or protect
ing vice but to actual Indictment and
prosecution for neglect OF duty.
II Is "A deplorahle evil In great city
to have a police force In whose honesty
and efficiency the people place no conf
dence. and whose officers and men are
demorallzed by constant charges of
wrong-doing and threats OF prosecution.
1t not only impairs discipline. but 1t
encourages the vicious to seek the de-
moraliEation OF Individual members Of
the force and to tempt them to dis
honesty. 1t gives the men bad opinion
| of their officers. and 1t makes the officers
suspicious of their men. II a policeman
Is really upright and honest, his con-
sistency Is under perpetual temptation
by the belief that his associates are all
venal and corrupt.
| The present law Is by no means as
plain and exrl!clt as 1t ought to be.
Section 2s2 Of the Consolidation act, which
DR.. Parkhurst cites In his notices to the
police captains as defining their duties.
says:
"1t Is hereby made the duty OF the po-
lice force ut all times or the day and
night, and the members of the force are
hereby thereunto empowered to carefully
observe and inspect all houses OF
| ill-fame and to repress and re-
strain all unlawful conduct or disorderly
conduct or practices therein, enforce and
prevent the violation of all laws and or
dinances In force in said city, and for
these purposes. with or without war
rants. to arrest all persons guilty of vio-
lating any law or ordinance for the sup
preston OF crime or offenses."
OF course. the keeping of a disorderly
house is OF itself an offense. But the
law which requires the police to " OBJ.
serve and inspect" such places. and to
repress and restrain all unlawful OF
disorderly conduct or practices therein. -
seems to almost recognize their exist.
ence. and to require the police to know OF
some unlawful or disorderly conduct
or practices therein before making an
arrest.

Eanciful Coiffurcs.

The chief coiffure Of Paris may be pre-
sumed to be the chief coiffeur of the
world; therefore, what that clever per-
son, NJ. Lentheric, says about Il woman s
hair will be of great interest to most
women who want to be as lovely as ma
ture permits. In the first place, Len
theric condemns the use Of false hair.
1T is hot" he says, ut is uncomfortab bic
1t Is not pretty" Nor does he approve
Of dyeing the hair, though some hair.
dressers contend that dye is the only
thing that improves the growth of the
locks. When undertaking to dress a
head" Lentheric takes all the hair ir
his hand and draws 1t up to the top OF
the head that he may study the shape OF
the skull; then he looks In the glass and
watches his subjects expression, anc
then he begins his work. He declares
that 1t Is rare to find a woman whose

SDnniSh Girlhood.

The fact that the Spanish woman en-
Joys no social freedom until she mar
ries or attains her majority has given
rise to the supposltion, umong those who
know them only through the fantastic
tales OF III. scrupulous travellers, that in
Spain women 1--we subject to the most alb
solute Of tyrannies, and that they are the
victims OF the brutal selfshness OF man.
Nothing can be further from tie truth or
more calImhious. The Spanish woman,
yielding cheerfully and willingly the
obedience OF paternal authority enjoined
by religion. receives. with the nuptlal
benediction. the liberty to go about alone
and to guard unaided the good name and
respect with which in childhood and
youth she had seen herself surrounded.
But let It not therefore be imagined that
the Spanish girl leads the life OF a
recluse, subject to monastic rules. SO far

Wise or Pretty,

Sir James Crichton Browne has been
talking about the brains of men and
women again.
"All available evidence points to the
conclusion that the male brain exceeds
the female brain In weight In this coun-
try to an even greater degree than has
hitherto been believed and l contend
that the smaller size of the female brain
Is sexual distinction, and not to be ac-
counted for on the grounds Of environ
ment. education or habits of life"
He then goes on to point out that the
brain Of unfortunate woman Is not only
smaller than that of fortunate man, but
different in shape-the difference being
entirely to the advantage of man, OF
course Then he shows that the woman
brain has not so many convolutions ir
| proportion to its size, nor so much gray
matter. and that even in the matter OF
blood supply the brain Of man is fal
superior to that of woman.

the higher education now in vogue

Sea Baths Mt Home.

The luxury Of a hot sea-water bath
can be substituted by the use in the home
bath-tub of a preparation Of sea salt in
the water. Rock or dairy salt cannot be
used In the place OF this, as the genuine
article dissolves itself readily and forms
brine that is as near that found in the
ocean as possible. Society women cannot
extol too highly the excellences OF the
Turkish and Russian baths as beautifiers.
They open the pores, and apparently
cleanse one body and soul. AS the fogs of
Great Britain are beneficial to the skin,
so are the hot-air chambers and steam
treatment Of these well-known thermal
lavatories.
DO not brthe too long. and rub vigor-
ously. warm bath at night and a

Of tonlcs, and II you have not tried them

benefit to your general health that YOU
will derive therefrom.
