The Effect In New Zealantl.

Mrs. Hirst Alexander, a we'll known
Australian journalist, now making q
short visit in London, says that marked
good effects have followed enfranchise-
ment OF women in New Zealand. The
premier of New Zealand, Hon. Richard
J. Seldom, and the principal journals
have all acknowledged, she says, that
the influence Of women during the cleo
lions and after has been beneficial
The women have turned their attention
to ameliorating the conditions of pris-
ons, promoting the welfare of children
and other measures with which they are
especially qualified to deal.
Giving the vote to women has in no
wise disturbed the even tenor of their
domestic ways, and there is no symp-
tom that it has rendered them at all
"mannish. The New Zealand govern
ment has opened woman's labor bu-
reau in Wellington, with woman as
manager. Several lady doctors have q
good practice, and Mrs. Alexander spoke
with justitiahle pride of the good record
made by women at the recent examina-
ton at the Melbourne university. where
they stood at the head of several class
lists and carried off large percentage
Of the honors open to men and women
alike.
