Maori Women and Their Rights.

The Maori women Of Australasia
have rights -fourishing ones. Gener-
ally they have little voice or choice
in the selection Of their first husband,
but they may and they frequently do
change him All the Maori gods and
goddesses help the Maori whose wife
betrays him, but she may trade him
without SO much as comment from
the public, without the slightest
smudge on her good name, and 1t is
nothing to his discredit, either. Court
ship Is always brief, and does not often
preface marriage. The Maoris, how
ever, love to repeat Oriental love tales
and to sing love songs. delicate and
charming Of diction and sound. Maori
widows not infrequently commit sui
eide upon the graves Of their husbands,
and are honored for doing so, as in
China. Divorce is as simple as-Well,
simpler than in Chicago. 1t needs no
revenue, employs no officers. He turns
her out Of doors and both are free to
remarry. That is all. What would
certain many-times divorced theatrical
neople not give for such divorce laws
without any hint Of alimony? Girls
are often betrothed irrevocably in In
fancy. Girls not betrOthed in child
hood are expected to have as many ad-
mirers as they please. Indeed, the
greater the number of admirers the
greater the prestige Of the girl.

MANY MILES OF GOLDEN Hal


browning Glory Galore Boasted hy a
Chorus Girl in Boston.
Envied by all in the Castle Square
theater, Boston, is Marie Stuart,
chorus girl, who according to careful
estimates has 200 miles of beautiful
golden hair. 1t claims attention nor
only from the quantity, but from lts
exquisite texture and color. There Is
no hint of bleaching fluid about ths
strands. They are as fine as gossamef
and CLINT like the purest gold. Eno
to end those golden hairs measure ap-
proximately 200 miles, or 1,056,000 feet
Figure it out yourself. There are upon
Miss Stuart's head about 123 square
inches of hair bearing scalp. The Ealr
is very abundant, and counts on an
| average 1850 hairs to the square lnch'
The hair averages about five feet IN
length: taking the length at even hve
feet and the actual number Of hairs Al
211. 200, you see the 200 miles of hali
and few inches to spare. Miss StuaF'
is hardly five feet in height, so tina
the hair falls in golden shower ab@

BALANCES AND PROFITS.
Increasing Disparity Between British
Imports and Exports

Increasing Disparity Between British
Imports and Exports.
Readers of the Evening Post Of this
city have been assured for years tha'
if a country does not buy it cannot
sell. In it's issue Of Sept. "a, speaking
of the long continued adverse trade
balance of Great Britain. it says:
Even in a perfectly normal trade
year. the nations merchandise imports
heavily exceed it's exports, the import
excess rarely falling below $500, ,0O0,OOt
annually-a sum which measures, o.
course. the returns from England's IN
vestments in foreign industry and the
shipping trade.
Adding that as "a result Of unfore
seen circumstances, British imports
have increased $125,000,000, while an
nual exports simultaneously have de-
creased 70,O00. .000."
The paper above quoted from has
frequently referred to the vast increase
in our exports, particularly in manu-
factured goods, since the bars against
foreign commerce were put up by the
Dingley bill, without, however, MOTTO
ing the coincidence. Now it chronicles
| the fact that the great free-trade ma
tion of the world after for years i'm
porting $50O,OOO,OOO worth more mer'
chandise than it exports, increases III
purchases by an average Of $125. .00O, ,O0t
annually for three years, to find Its
sales curtailed by 70,000,000 a year
That is. it's adverse balance OF trade il
increased by 50 per cent.
Possibly the Post will be kline
enough tc explain the marked differ
ence between it's theory and the fact
above cited. And while it is doing tina
it might also explain its hostility t.
American shipping, it being general
understood that commerce with thl'
country returns some 5000, 100000 il
annual profits to Englands 1nvest
ments in the shipping trade.
