London, March 31.-Sir Charles Dixie
gave Notice in the house CT coalncns
yesterday of a motion to the effect that
the conduct of foreign affairs during
the past twelve months had shown that
1T lis not to the interest Of the country
to have the premiership and the foreign
sccretaryship combined in one person,
and asked the government: TO fix a day
to debate the motion.
Ealfour, the government leader in the
house, first lord of the treasury ard aet-'
ing secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs. replied that the government could
not do so. as the discussion would re-
solve itself into a direct attack upon the
conduct of foreign affairs He exy lsined
that II this was desired it would bemore

However. continued Balfour, there
would be discussion of the foreign
vote. but only informal and inconclu-

the far eastern question. When the
latter was submitted he expected a full

Sir Charles Dixie retorted that he de-
sired a discussion Of the whole foreign
policy and not merely The question Of
China. To this Balfour answered that II
the government received a representa-
tive request for such discussion he
would arrange date for it. The house
then adjourned.

Forty Gears Ago.

A Connecticut Achievement
Forty Years. Ago.
Mrs. Lucretia Bradley Hubbell. now liv-
ing at Norwich, Conn, was the first woman
to go up in a balloon. The ascension was
made at Easton, Pa, March %, 1888. At
that time Mrs. Hubpeil was 81 years old.
The ascension was ii decided success and
the papers Of those days extoIled the
achievement as one of tue most marvellous
with which woman was accredited.
Although forty-three years have come
and gope since that day so eyentful to Mrs.
Hubbell, and she now Is wrinHIcl old
woman OF 70, she retains the memory Of
the ascension as clearly as il It were not
more than a week ago. She told the story
of her flight through the air The other day
and the tenacity Of her memory is shown
in the following, a literal transcript of her
own words:
II rose with perfect calmness and great
velocity to a height of over two miles, my
whole feelings being those of indescribabie
tranquillity-an g~ratihed delight. There was
no perceptibIe breeze until reached the
highest point of my voyage. directly over the
Delaware, when four heavy currents struck
my balloon on all sides with equal force.
Finding my balloon full, / opened the valve
three times in succession, and while letting
on gas as fast as | could, the balloon at the
same time rapidly emptying itself from the
mouth, a very strong undercurrent forcing
up the mouth OF the balloon caused a roar
ing like the ocean in a heavy storm, fol-
lowed by a noise like the discharge OF a
cannon and a sudden fall of about 100 feet.
Il then looked up anG saw the balloon
all shattered, with the exception OF two
pieces. one being about one eight the size
the top OF the network and the other a
sail at the side. These bore me of east
OF the balloon. One formed a parachute In

A suitable foulard suit for travel is given
in the group of figures. Here the silk is
a dark blue figured in a pale tint of the
same color, and contrasted with a trimming
of coarse black silk guipure laid over a high
tone of Turquoise blue. The motif in the
skirt is repeated in a bolero treatment on
the waist. The skirt to the knees is linen
with percaline or taffeta, and below that
the foundation is a stiff fiounce of taffeta
laid in shallow accordian pleats. A hat of
dark blue straw faced with white and
trimmed with dotted black net over white
malines, a row of crisp white roses behind
and a couple of black feathers in front, COM
pletes the species of toilet in which a
! woman suitably travels a short distance by
rail or steamer when bound on a short coun-
| try visit.
In the same group is shown an ideal
steamer dress for June. Brown linen,
trimmed in the seams with white pique, the
coat worn over a white pique waistcoat, and
the hat of straw, ribbon and quilts.
A travelling ulster is displayed by the
third figure, a clear emerald green Irish
, frieze, worked up with black braid. The
~fulness OF the back is gathered under a
braid strap running through silver slides,
and over the shoulders fall shawl capes,
! that with their high collar are only butuoned
TO the ulster collar and can be used or not
ut the wearers pleasure. A going away hat
of chip, we'll weighted with yellow roses
and topped by a weird skeleton bow, is the
final touch of coquetry in the costume so
eminently suited for an suspicious setting
off on pleasure bent.
A dust cape of string brown ongee and
a felt travelling hat to match display their
enticing charm of comfort in the little pic
ture. In place of pongee a light weight of
brown linen makes up an equally cool and
serviceable summer wrap. Yale blue silk
soft as crepe and yet waterproof is the
goods of which the rain coat is made. The
model is an adaptation Of a friar's robe
while the huge hood comes up to protect
the largest hat. A heavy blue double faced
satin ribbon clasps the waist and its ends
are tagged with gun metal.

Thousands have tried from time immem-
orial to discover some eficacious remedy
for wrinkles and other imperfectIons Of
the complexion, but none had yet sue
ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now fam
GUS Complexion Specialists, of rs Fifth
avenue, New York City, offered the pub
lie their wonderful Complexion Tonic.
The reason so many failed to make this
discovery before is plain, because they have
not followed the right principle. Balms,
Creams, Lotions, etc, never have a tonic
effect upon the skin, hence the failures.
The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has
a most exhllarating effect upon the %cuticle,
absorbing and carrying off all Impurities
which the blood by its natural action Is
constantly forcing to the surface OF the
skin. 1t is to the skin what a vitalizinG
tonic is to the blood and nerves, a kind Of
new life that Immediately exhilarates and
strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic
effect is felt almost Immediately, and 1t
speedily banishes forever from the skin,
freckles. pimples, blackheads. moth patches,
wrinkles, liver spots, rOughness, ~oiliness,
eruptions and discOlorations of any kind.
In order that all may be benefited by
their Great Discovery, the Misses Bell will,

An excessively new sleeve for cloth
dresses is designed to accentuate as en-
phatically as possible the length Of the
wearer' arm, for a slim, long arm is as
highly priced these days as a long, slender
waist. Some OF these cloth, cotton and
silk sleeves do not permit of the arm
thrusting through them except half way TO
the elbow. A line Of fine little hooks and
eyes runs along under the sleeve from a
space six inches from the armplt clear to
the wrist. By this means a seemingly
seamless casing of material fits the arm
close as the wearer's skin and the sleeve is
curiouly cut on the bias to help out this

| distinction won in home, hospital or on the

The Order of the Torch was one of the
| earliest conferred exclusively upon women.
1t was created in 114S at the siege of Tor
tosa by the Moors. So hard pressed were
the men that the women plunged into the
fray and fought shoulder to shoulder with
their husbands and sweethearts, their cour-
age shining like a ~torch-hence the name
of the order.
Napoleon, never too liberal in his estimate
of women, made a special provision when
tho Cross of the Legion OF Honor was
founded in 1892, that they should be debarred
from the right of winning it; but when In
formed of the remarkable exploits OF a young
girl, Virginie Ghesquire, who disguised her
sex, and enlisting In the place of her invalid
brother, distinguished herself on the bat
tlefield, he was induced to revoke his de-
cision, and since that time women as well
as men in France have asplred to this badge
of honor.
Nor was Virginie Ghssquire the only
woman to win the Cross Of the Legion of
| Honor in Napoleon's time. Marie Schelling.
a Belgian girl, fought with the French arm
les at Jemappes, Jena and Austerlitz, and
was wounded again and again. She rose to
the rank of subiieutenant, when, her sex
being accidentally discovered. she was re-
tired with the Cross of the Legion and a
considerable pension.
One of the most interesting stories to
Americans, however, in connection with the
Legion OF Honor, is its having been con-
! ferred upon a little 10-year-old American
girl in 1899, the year OF the Worlds fair,
This child, Jeanne Carey of Muckford, Ill,
noticed one day while walking along a
country road that a railroad bridge was on
fire and that a passenger train was rapidly
approaching. Doffing her little red cap for
a signal, she rushed madly forward just In
time to save the train. II was full OF pas
sengers bound FOR the Chicago exposition
and among them were several French peo-
Pile. Their gratitude and enthusiasm were
unbounded, and not long after Jeanne was
decorated with the Cross of the Legion OF
Honor by order of President Carnot.
Among the possessors of the order In
France are several Sisters of Mercy. The
most remarkable of these Is Sister Marie
Teresa of Tonquin. She was wounded at
Balaclara in the Crimean war while look
ing after the wounded on the battlefield.
She was also wounded on the front OF the
line of battle at Magenta in the Italian war
Of 1853. She has also nursed in Syria, China
and Mexico. On one occasion she picked
up a shell which had fallen into an ambu-
lance In her charge and carried it away
