No shouting of the captains
No sabors flashing free;

Quick death in carnage dim,
And nothing of the romance

Ladies' With False Neclzs.

The use of the false neck is more
common than one would naturally sup
pose, says a writer in London Answers.
1t is worn by ladies who are too thin
to look well with their necks uncov-
cred and also by those who have deli
cate lungs and so are forced to keep
the bust and throat thoroughly pro-
tected from the cold.
I once saw one of these false necks
worn by Partisan belle who had just
recovered from a severe attack of in
fammation of the lungs. The dress
was cut square in front, the opening
(which was very wide) being only filled
in with single thickness of tulle,
slightly frilled, and met at the top by
a collar necklace pearls fitting closely
around the throat. Under this slight
yelling or tulle there was visible what
was apparently the rose-tinted flesh of
the fair weather.
The false neck was in wax, fitting
closely to the chest, and met at the
throat by the collar of pearls. Sheets
of fesh-tinted wax, slightly softened
in warm water TO render them pliable,
are nodded upon the wearer's chest
and shoulders. by skillful fingers so
cleverly that it is almost impossible to
detect the deception. 1t is said that
$50 is the charge for such identifying.

w omen in the House of Commons.


In connection with the recent debate
in the British House of Commons re-
Rarding the aGmittance of women and
the accommodations to be provided for
them, it is OF interest to note that his
tory is but repeating itself. AS long
ago as 164S this entry appears in the
journals of the Commons: "Ordered
that the commander-in-c and the
guard that do guard the House from
time to time to keep the clamorous wo-
men from coming up the stairs lead
ing to the House of Commons door,"
In the following century, however,
the "clamor Gus women" invaded not
only the stairs, but the House itself,
and obtained for time at least privi-
leges which are denied to the feminine
politician of to-day. Special interest
was taken by the women of that period
in the two great debates which fol-
lowed the arrest of Wilkes in 1764.
Women appear to have made them
selves at home after this, until Feb
ruary 2, 1778, when the Duchess of
Devonshire and fifty other women were
turned out of the House, in spite of
struggles and protests.
1t was nearly sixty years before the
sentence of exclusion was rescinded,
although during the period, according
to the chronicler Hatsell, women,
many of the highest rank, made sew
eral powerful efforts to be admitted"

row-boat bearing the name of the

seats, two miners bags full of cloth
ing and few provisions, while a

that at least one man escaped the

London, May 12-In the House

answering a question by Mr.. Sexton,
Hare, said that the effect OF the
Spanish-American war upon the
commerce of Great Britain was re-
ceiving the most careful attention of
the government, but did not think it
would be to any advantage to iusti-
tute national granaries with a view
of increasing the reserve Of bread
stuffs.
Sir Z. E. Webster. Attorney Gen.
eral, replying to Sir Edward Gourley,
said that the warships of Spain and
the United States could by right
stop neutral vessels and examine
their cargoes and papers in order to
see if they were carrying contraband
goods Neutral vessels, he added,
could carry contraband articles,
even to belligerents, but they would
run the risk of being captured He
was not aware, he said, that England
was exporting coal to Spain for the
use of warships.

hope that some of the foreign
Powers will interfere. 1 expect that
international complications more or

war is ended.

partment intends to do, but I think
it will be grave mistake if Sampson

Rico while in those waters. The

LONDON TIMES TALK.

We Are Urged to Capture and Hold Ceuta
Opposite Gibraltar, and HeIp.Brtain.
London, May 13.-The London
Times in a strong editorial says that
in the future America will play a
prominent part in the affairs OF the
world. II admits that there is much
uneasiness in Europe over the Phil
lppines, and adds:
at may be doubted, however
whether any concert of the CONT
mental powers is possible for the
purpose of attempting to apply CO.
ercion to the United States.
England assuredly would not
join in any such enterprise, and
might in certain circumstances take
an active part in foiling it
"Frarce. Germany and Russia
would think twice before trying to
apply to the United States treat
ment which they might find it very
inconvenient to carry far as in the
case of Japan, and which, if success
full, would in all probability lead to
grave dissen sion over the division of
the spoils.'
1t has been suggested here that
the Americans should capture and
control Ceuta on the African side of
the Strait Of Gribraltar, now used
by Spain as penal colony. With
England holding Gibraltar and
America in possession of Cueta it
is pointed out that the Anglo-Saxons
would dominate the entrance to the
Mediterranean Sea.
