ABOUT MEMS HATS.

A mans hat is his pride and if care
fully kept it will look well as long as it
can be worn. A hat should be carefully
brushed with soft brush or with a piece
OF felt after each wearing. 1t should be
kept in box away from the dust and
where it cannot be thrown down by any
one who passes the hook upon which it
hangs. A silk hat should be stood on
the crown. Opera hats should never be
put away in crushed shape. Derbies
should not rest on the points of the brim.

THE ZINC TABLE.

Is there in your kitchen a corner where
a three-cornered zinc table can be fitted?
II not, perhaps there is a space between
the stove and the kitchen table A small
uncovered table will soon prove itself
almost worth its weight in gold. Here
pots and kettles can be placed. for the
black rings which they make can be
washed off. The irons can cool here
pies can sit here to cool. The uncovered
table is one of the most convenient of
kitchen accessories.

AID MlRAL STARK is TO
BE THE SCAPEGOAT

Russia needs a scapegoat for the Port
Arthur naval defeat, and Admiral Stark, it
seems, has been selected for the honor.
Stark is of Jewish descent, hence has
never been popular with his superiors, al
though extremely well liked by his sail
ors. something very unusual in Russia.
Once before, when Russian fleet was
defeated by the French off AIinorca, in
1856, the government needed scapegoat.
Admiral Byng was recalled to St. Peters
burg, tried and shot for "an error of judg-
ment."

WHERE WOMEN VOTE.

The women of Australia have passed
unscathed through the publicity of casting
their votes on an equality with men. No
one has found them less womanly, less
feminine, at the polls than elsewhere.
Someone has said that with enthusiasm
and intelligence they exercised their new
privilege 1t is not to be doubted. 1t
was the first time in the history of the
world that women of a whole continent
have stood, politically on an equal with
men, and both the women and the men
have come out none the worse for the
experience. Society at large has stood the
shock. Though their votes seem not to
have influenced materially the position of
parties, it must be remembered that the
votes will count to greater advantage when
some issue is at stake which vitality af-
fects woman, her children and her home.
The Australian women are to be congratu-
lated upon their first effort.

wanted to get out and that they talked
