THE HOUR OF DEATH.

The belief that death claims more
victims at midnight than at any 9TH
err hour is one that is widespread
among the general public, but some
interesting data bearing on the mat
ter are provided by the British Medi-
cal Journal NJ Fere, in a communi-
cation to the Biological Society, 1888,
stated that he had carefully gathered
statistics at Bicetre and Salpetriere
hospitals concerning the hours of the
deaths which had occurred in those
hospitals from 1878 to 1887, and all
that he concluded from them was
that from to II p. m. there were less
deaths than at any other times. The
statistics of different countries seem
to differ. According to Signor kaserl
deaths in Italy reach their maximum
from to p. m. Finlayson, OF Glas'
gov states that from 10 a. h' Is
the most fatal hour. Dr.. Beadles al.
firms that most men die between
and Z IA. m, and most women between
6 and Z p. m.

speech Mr. Lusk, in the course of his
address said that New Zealand had been
inhabited by Europeans for only sixty
years.
The land had been bought from the
natives fairly, and the settlers had taken
nothing that they had not paid for. This
system of fairness. which was different
from that which had been pursued in
many other parts of the world, had. he
thought Influenced the whole after his
tory of the island. There were now over
500 900 Europeans in the country and
about 90 900 natives. The latter enjoyed
exactly the same privileges as the Eu-
ropeans and had representatives in the
governing bodies. The people of New
Zealand were an experimental people,
and for this reason had adopted many

patton of women was taken in 1876. when
they were allowed to take part in the
election of school committees.
Their final emancipation was the result
of a gradual process. They were not agi-
tators, and few petitions had ever been
signed. In 1880. after a severe fight, they
were allowed TO vote in the election of Ii

er that they could vote in the municipal
elections. and after another four years
they received the full privileges of male
residents. There had been two parlia-
mentary elections since then. and 1t was
in his opinion that the women had voted
wisely and for good men, The tendency
had been to vote for men whose charac
tiers were good instead of those who were
simply able. He thought that this was
a good result. and that really good 1egis-
lation was more often accomplished by
men of character than by men of ability
discussion followed, and a vote of

Suit0rs I'm Abundance.

An Indian girl. member of the Chero-
kee tribe, living in Chelsa, l. T., adver-
tised for a husband, stating that she
owned 1900 acres of land and 600 head of
cattle, and wanted a wide-awake young
business man as marital and business
partner. In less than twelve days she
received 90 letters from white men in all
parts of the West all of whom were will
ing to marry her. Doctors, lawyers,
farmers, clerks. and ministers took a
chance in the proposition. None of them
said anything about the age or looks or
education of the young woman, but all
wished to be assured that the land and
cattle were tangible and secure. At last
accounts no husband has been selected.

How Spanish Girls Wear the Mantill.i

When a sonora or senorita turns her
mind from the church il is to think of
clothes: ina fact the two thoughts often
run together as there is much church 60
ing in Spain.
The MantfIla pronounced as though
spelled marn-tealya). although crown
ing distinction and distinctive mark of
Spanish women. is worn by ultra-fash-
ionable ladies only to the bull fights. the
aters. annual fairs. to early mass and on
Summer evenings; not when shopping or
calling. Only old ladies and unfashiona
BILE persons do not wear bonnets.
The mantilla is an oblong piece of lace
measuring a yard and a half in length
and twe-thirds of a yard in width The
front and sides have a border finish,
while the bottom Is trimmed with
flounce a quarter of a yard deep, which
rounds up the side edges about seven
inches.
In order TO hold this graceful lace the
hair must be piled high on the top of the
head Place the front edge of the man.

fasten to the hair with pin, after max
ing sure that the ends arc exactly even
in length. With a hand a little above
each ear pinch the lace and draw 1t back
to the crown Of the head. where ii is very
slightly Tapped and fastened by another
pin The f1ounce, which falls naturally
about the shoulders. is caught in by the
front ends and pinned al the breast.
If American ladies would only learn
how to arrange mantilla 1t would GER
tainly become fashionable for the thea
ter. as il is so becoming. Spanish wom-
en- are traditionally fascinating. Let any
other woman. who knows how to wear a
passably becoming hat and has only been
considered meat looking or pleasant
looking wear mantilla for a trial, and
people will change their criticism to
charming" lovely" etc. 1t softens the
face wonderfully. Doubt all who protest
that only a Spanish woman could ar
range the thing" that sit is becoming
TO a certain style alone" believe that it
only takes three movements of the hands
and three pins to put on a mantilla.

The music rides take place in the ev-

SACRIFICES OF WOMEN.
Heroic and Patriotic Deeds i'm Time
OF War.


a reporter saw two United States Army
officers and asked them what part they
thought women VIC AID play in national
affairs in case . war with Spain should
be declared.
Capt. f. Williams. who is now retired,
but knows knows a good deal about the
fortunes and misfortunes of war said:
1--WE cannot get along without women
in any sphere of life, and we would not
attempt it in the Army. In the last
war they were the ministering angels OF
the camp. and returned many a man to
his home. after months of careful nurs-
ing, VINO would undoubtedly have per-

Sisters of Charity accomplished noble
work in the civil war and il was my
great pleasure to see some of the results
Of it. But kindness and tenderness were

Women are always equal TO the emer-

their patriotism by forming corps and

The good TO be done by them is incalcu-

is to their universal credit that they

made once each month since among young
Baptists the conquest meetings have

these nights the Endeavor topics are to

Volunteers are undertaking a task more
difficult, perhaps, than that of the Sal
vatioon Army, since they became a de-
nomination.. This method of work is
evangelistic, but inside of churches. This
amounts to an effort to get two denomin1-
tons to work together. The Volunteers
maintain they are succeeding. Their
work Is individual, and results are hard
to estimate. The annual meeting is to be
held next Monday night. So far, the
agreement between the Booths, made
when General Booth arrived two months
ago, has been kept. This agreement, not
to air the Booth family troubles, was
