Blanc Pjgnon, on the left bank of the
Adour, which commands a view Of both

French, who had still command of the
river and the opposite shore: and the

Too Many Clothes.
The tired housemother, looking over
her clothes closets In the fall, is apt to
find them numbered up with large
amount Of old material. The majority of
people in well-to do circumstances have
great many more clothes than they
actually need, though their wardrobea
may be very unsatisfactory in quality.
The average every day housekeeper Is
apt to hoard her clothes and shut them
up. as she does her piano and her best
furniture in her parlor, away from
moths and dust, bringing them out only
ON grand occasions. 1t is this practice
that keeps SO many women shabby the
greater part Of their days. They have
a number of gowns put away for Sun
day and those occasions" that never
come, while for the main part Of their
days they go in homespun and calico.

A DESIRE for the ballot, which
~ distinguishes what il probably
Aquite a small minority OF our
feminine population, Is motived by one
or other Of three considerations, writes
the Rev. Charles HI. Parkhurst, d. D.,
IN the Ladies' Home JoornaL The bal
lot Is claimed By some because Of the
mistaken notion that suffrage liz right
Inherent in personality. Other women
are sudragists not because they care
ANYTHING for the ballot In itself consid-
cred, but because possessed Of those
masculine prepossessions that make
them restless at seeing men do anything
that they are not themselves allowed to
do. Many OF this class probably are
not SO anxious to vote as they are
anxious to know that they can vote IL
they want to. It would be Interesting
to know how many Of such women
would be converted from their views II
It should seriously be proposed to pass
a bill requiring women to vote. HUI
man nature Is a peculiar thing, and It
certainly will not he ungallant to say
say that all the popularity IL not
monopolized by the male sex. Prob
ably the particular stripe of suffragists
l am commenting on just now would
find the virulehce Of their distemper
measurably relieved by having the
coveted privilege accorded to them for
time. 1t would work something as In
the case Of jealous child who is cured
Of its jealousy by being allowed to
hold 1t its own hand q little while the
exclusive plaything of the mate it Is
jealous Of. There are. however, in the
third place q considerable number Of
women that are considering with a
great deal Of honesty and womanly
seriousness the question whether the
ballot. IL put into woman's hands,
would not be a means of correcting
certain evil conditions in society that
could be less easily reached in any
other way.
tits very easy to have a pronounced
opinion upor the effect which such an
extension OF the ballot would produce,
although the data do not seem as yet
to be sufficiently at command to give
to such pronounced opinions any par
ticular value. Our uneasy sisters would
be making substantial contribution
to the cause they have so closely at
heart II they, for instance, would can
vass two Of the wards in this city, say
the Tenth and the Twenty-second, and
by that means put themselves in condi-
ton to inform the public distinctly and
authoritatively just what effect would
be produced at our next election by
aving the privilege Of suffrage accord
ed to the women Of those two most i'm
portant districts.

The Tariff Lead Schedule.

Washington, July 2O.--The Treasury
officials are in a quandary on the ques-
ton of carrying into effect that section
Of the tariff act which provides that
silver-lead ores imported into the Uni
ted states shall be sampled and as
sayed at the port OF entry according to
the commercial usages.
Some months ago the department in
vlted bids for doing this work during
the coming year and required the cree
ton of the necessary building at each
port. The bids We're opened to-day and
1t was found that only two propositions
We're made, both for the port of I'll
Paso. Tex. The lei Paso Sampling
Works offered to do the necessary sam
ping at 60 cents a ton, or $3.50 car
load, and the Taylor & Brunton Sam
ping Works at Aspen, Colo, 60 cents
per ton where from one-ffth to one
tenth of the ore was sampled, or S5
cents to crush and sample all ores en-
tered.
AS there are about fifteen points in
the West, Northwest and Puget sound
sections for which no bids were re-
ceived, the officials are at loss to
know what to do. Under the system
employed under the Mckinley act a
large share of the ores were shipped to
and sampled at bonded smelters in the
Interior The remainder were sampled
in a very primitive manner at the Dor
der.
1t seems clear that this requirement
of the act cannot be put into operation
and the result is likely to be n return
to the old methods. Assistant Secre-
tary Hamlin will, however, take up the
matter on his return to Washington,
next week.
