Feeding BY CIockwork.

We do so many things automatically
in our days that nobody will be sur
prised to hear that an ingenious mocha
nician has invented a machine to feed
horses by clookwork. 1t is SO arranged
that one or 100 horses may be fed at
any hour Of the day or night without
the aid of any person. The horses morn
ing feed is placed in the manager at
night and the boxes are opened by
cloclrwork at any hour desired. The
clock is SO arranged that when the
weight has run down to a certain point
it releases heavy beam, which, drop
ping, its momentum. by means of cord
or bell wire, pulls pin which releases
the manager, and this, by its own weight
and that of its contents, turns over with
the open side in front, SO that the food
is within convenient reach of the horse.

AN Ex-Premier suffragist.

The extension of the suffrage is a
lively issue in England, too, as we'll as
in this country. Lord Salisbury, in a
recent speech, said: II am now speak
ing for myself only. Do not imagine
that I am speaking for any one else,
but do earnestly hope that the day is
not far distant when women also will
bear their share in voting for members
of parliament (oheers) and in determin-
ing the policy Of the country. I can
conceive no argument by which they
are excluded. 1t is obvious that they
are abundantly as well fitted as many
who now possess the suffrage, by lnowl-
edge, by training and by character, and
that influence is likely to weigh in a
direction which in an age 80 material
as ours is exceedingly valuable in the
direction of morality and religion"

miss westfall,s Collection.

Miss Mary J. Westfall has lately
brought to New York a beautiful collec-
ton of Pacific coast alge. 1t contains
over 8, 200 specimens of seaweed, gath
cred, pressed and mounted bx miss
Westfalfs own hands The collection
represents eight years Of unremitting
toll, patience and enthusiasm. 1t was
exhibited in the Woman's building in
Chicago, where it attracted much atten-
ton, and received the only medal award
cd for alg@. Miss Westfall's object in
bringing her collection to New York is
to interest artists and sohoolteachers.
She does not wish it to be looked upon
simply as a collection of botanical speoi-
mems and has mounted theseaweeds in
a unique and artistic manner. New

From the New York Sun.

smokers.
From the New York Sun.
One day last week a woman approached
man standing in front of the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel, and asked for his cigar to light
her cigarette. This was chronicled at the
the Sun, and it drew attention to the mat
ter of cigarette smoking by women up to
date, and also to the tremendous increase
of women smokers during the last two
years 1t is about four years ago since Mr..
Gladstone was asked
How long should the interval be be-
tween a gentleman smoking and going into
the presence Of ladiesl"
That old-time English gentleman, in an
after-dinner speech, told of his reply:
mot less than four hours"
What is the situation Jo-dayl Not that
man should wait four hours after smoking
before he approaches the fair sex, but
rather that he should offer his arm, lead
the way to the smokingroom. and CALAMITY
offer very fine grade cigarette to her.
Times have changed almost in a night
When the Waldorf hotel was first opened
the one place which seemd to attract the
fair sex was the cosy little smoking room
and cafe, behind the great sheet of glass.
where men were to congregate and "enioy
themselves and several of the women in
speeding the sumptuous surroundings were
heard 40 remark that il was too bad thar
an Inc cunning places were fitted up for
the men. Judging from what followed il
would seem almost that even so early in
the campaign fair woman had her eve ON
that smoking room with the DESIGN of pra-
empung at least part Of it. Gossips saw that
II was not long before some of the English
visitors OF the fair sex found their way in
thefe WIN their husbands and brothers.
Just TO LOOK at the place, you know-and
then, no one knows how exactly, an occa-
stonal woman visitor lit cigarette while
IN tEe smoking room with her male friends.
Just 10 keep the smoke of the others from
annoying her. So il became whispered
about that occasionally there might be
seen az the Waldorf, especially after tho
thealer, or on a Sunday night. some woman
smoking, as one may say, in public;
