ACTION is being taken by certain en-
lightened natives to ameliorate the
shocking condition of the average Hin
doc widow, says the Bombay Advocate,
of India. To begin with, the Indian
widow is shaved bald, and can only
hide her badness with her cloth; she
IS deprived of all jewelry, wears coarser
clothes than the rest of womankind,
must fast on certain days and every
day has fewer meals than are taken as
a rule by the rest of the family. The
scheme of relief afoot is that no widow
shall be shaved until she is 2l.

THE boudoir of the czarina at Cars,
koye Selo is said to be spacious apart
ment, very light and very sparsely
curtained. Masses of tropical verdure
divide the room into several cozy apart
ments and give it very picturesque ap
pearance. The dado of the wall is
formed almost entirely of photographs.
An easel in one of the window recesses
and grand piano in another testify to
the czarina's artistic tastes; several of
her own water colors hang on the walls
and she is in the habit of singing to
the czar the folk songs of his own coun-
qry.

For years inventors worked on the
problem of cutting out square holes by
machinery, and were able to solve the
puzzle, practical machines for the pur-
pose appearing on the market. just at
this time. however, they were rendered
useless because of the development OF
hydraulic power which makes it possi-
BILE to punch holes of any shape in al
most any material. There are other
machines for mortising, etc, which cut
holes square, oblong and of other
shapes. These, however, do not cut
out square finished holes in the sense
That an augur cuts out circular hole.

4 SETBACK.

All the women aren't strong yet, and a curious exhibition of weakness was that made by a woman of Lansing (Michigan) who filed petition the other day with the county clerk de- tailing long tale of marital woe, and asking for divorce from her husband, who is a travelling man. He was thunderstruck when served with a summons in the western part of the State and could not understand it. The next morning the woman appeared before the court and with tears in her eyes asked to have the bill dismissed. She has been living with her mother. Recently woman from Ohio was talk en into the house to board. She was lecturer on womans rights and kindred subjects, and the divorce-seeker says she was under this woman's spell and was influenced by her to begin pro- ceedingS.
 This is a transition period, and we suppose it is inevitable that once in awhile some woman will find that she is not fully emancipated and will fall back little. But courage! The cause is surely making progress

DII M ONDS,

Those of our readers who haven't laid in good supply of diamonds have made a mistake. It is announced from Lon don that the price of diamonds, as con trolled by the English syndicate which practically handles the worlds supply of stones in the rough, is to be advanced to-day per cent. above the prices now prevailing. On equally good informa- tion it is asserted that further advances of about the same percentage in each case will be arbitrarily made in August and September.
 This is not good news, but there is a crumb of comfort in the thought that 0 rise of five per cent. in the price of diamonds wont make any difference to most of us. We can have just as many.

 posed to keep the collar in place about the neck, no other fastening being neces- sary The idea seems good one if the collar is properly shaped, and worth at tention because the question of neck wear is a serious one In hot weather. The idea might be carried out little differently, Start with a couple Of metal bands sprung into a circle that would fit the neck Make a collar of thin lawn, set one band in the top of the col lar and one at the bottom, running them through the hems. If the top band could be tight enough not to slip down and yet not to bind uncomfortably, the collar would stay in place as well as if made on thick and stiff foundation.
 The fashion for fluffy white fronts has held long enough to make women more critical about them than they were a few months ago Now there IS a tendency to make the front trimmings fatter In elaborate dresses and to con- fine the foamy tumble of lace or muslin to gowns of otherwise severe outline. Such fronts appear there to their best advantage, as this picture suggests. Here was a tan cheviot trimmed with brown silk braid, frilled white silk mus lin filling out the front. The latter was the daintiest possible finish. This mod el was otherwise original, the back be- ing in one. FLORETTE.

WISE RESTRICTION.

1 It is interesting to read that the edicts of the Prussian government restricting corporal punishment in the public schools have aroused no little opposi- tion on the part of school teachers. At the various educational conferences now in session animated discussions on this subject have become the order of the day, and some teachers have expressed much resentment at the offense against their dignity. The government In most cases has special representative at each conference to explain the meaning and intent of the new law. It is stated that the edicts do not aim to abolish the teachers right of inhicting corporal punishment. The government declares, however that numerous complaints re- garding positive maltreatment of pupils have been fled and that steps must therefore be taken to prevent the rash exercise of authority by an angry teach CT. According to arrangements as dic- tated by the governmental edict, teacher must report to the rector or principal before he may whip or hit a student With this precaution the old system of corporal punishment, severe though it is, will be continued in the public schools of Prussia.
 Under this arrangement the little Ger mans will doubtless get part of what they deserve
