WOMEN WHO FAINT.
A MODERN APPLICATION OF THE
FAMOUS EPIGRAM, "FRAILTY
THY NAME is WOMAN"

1t is curious fact that the word faint
is derived from a French word meaning
TO pretend. The word feint, meaning a
deceptive movement, as by the boxer or
swordSman, has the same derivation. So
that originally woman who fell for
ward in Inconsistencies was merely one
who feign5d illness. But there is no
feigning in that sudden failure of the
vital power which blanches the cheek,
closes the eyes, seems to stop the breath
and sends the woman an inert mass upon
the counter at which she is shopping.
Painting is very real for the sufferer
this liability to sudden Inconsistencies.
menacing her enjoyment and safety.
Why do women faint? Women them
selves would In this advanced age of prog
ress be the first to deny the charge of
fralty. They run and row, they
swim and ride, they golf and shoot side
by side with men. And yet they faint.
You rarely hear of a mans fainting.
Such thing is so uncommon as 20 par

Why don't men faint? Why can a weak

a FILTER roR TRAVELLERS.

A simple pocket filter which may save
cyclists and other travellers from disease
germs, is a short rubber tube with a
mouthpiece at one end and a wire netting
at the other. Inside the netting is small
portion of powdered charcoal in little
net coil. When the charcoal end of the
tube is inserted In the water the germs
are not allowed to pass, and the charcoal
frees the water from all impurities which

Washington. March 10. Awaiting
himself of the privilege accorded by
the house of representatives previous
to adjournment. Chairman Cannon. Of
the committee on appropriations. has
prepared for the Congressional Record
a more extended statement of the APP
preparations made by the Fifty-lifth
congress than he made the day after
adjournment. He places the total al,-
preparations for the entire congress at
$1.3t6,S90,O16 and the appropriations
authorized for future congresses under
the continuing contract system for
(attleships. river and harbor improve
ments and public buildings at S7O.OOO.-
600. The total appropriations made ut
the last session Mr.. Cannon places ut
SG113.t;3S. 400, showing an apparent re-
duction of S219,5773. 214 below the ap-
preparations of the preceding session.
Mr.. Cannon attributes this reduction
to the extraordinary war expenses of
the preceding session. OF the total
appropriations for the congress he
says that the sum of S4S2.562, OS3 is
directly chargeable to the war with
Spain. He thus shows that the ordi-
nary expenditures for the two years
covered by the congress We're S1044.-
5sO.27:'. and this SUM exceeds the total
appropriations of the Fifty-fourth con
sress by 500, 746.G5S. This excess is
accounted for as follows:

Washington. March 1.-THE Italian
government. through it's representa-
tive in Washington, lately laid before
the authorities here its purpose to ask
Of China port on San Nun bay, and
invited an expression from this gov
eminent as to it's attitude In re-
spouse it is understood that Secretary
Hay, as we'll as the president, made
it clear that the United States would
pursue the same course as toward the
Russian, British and German occupa-
ton of Chinese ports, namely, disin-
terested neutrality. The exchanges
have been verbal and rather informal,
more in the nature Of diplomatic
soundings than direct propositions.
They have given occasion to erroneous
publications to the effect that Italy
had asked the United States to sup
port her demands on China. and that
this government. in a pointed note
from Secretary Hay. had refused. 1t
is stated in an eminent and authori-
tative quarter that Italy made no such
request for American support, and
that there was no declinatiOn from
this government. The circumstances
Of the negotiation as explained in this
authoritative quarter are as follows:
When Italy determined to seek q
port OH the Chinese coast she adj

DESTROYS Of pursuing the usual diplo-
matte course when a move Of this
character is contemplated, namely,
learn whether the United States would
be either. first. favorable: second. dis
interested; third. opposed. In Nlort.
before proceeding. Italy desired to-
know what attitude the United States
would take as to the Italian demand
on China. The reply of Secretary
Hay. which is said to have been
verbal, was in response to this notiti-
cation and soundings from the italian
authorities. In this reply the presi--
dent is said to have given his personal
concurrence. In substance it was an
announcement that the United States
would in no way change it's attitude
as maintained thus far when Great
Britain. Germany and Russia made
advances toward China, but WOULD
continue to observe a position of dis
intercstedness. Instead of being a de-
NAL of any request the reply was ac-
cepted by the Italian government as
entirely satisfactory and as placing it
in the same position rs other Euro
pean powers who had sought ports i'm
China. This. it is said, brings the ne
gotiations at Washington to Il close in
Il manner entirely satisfactory to the
Italian authorities. The reported ac-
ton of Italy since then in making it's
demand on China and following it up
with threats of demonstration have
not been officially communicated here.
