Directors Liability in England.

Two test actions brought by share.
holders in the Standard Exploration
Company against Lord Edward Pei
ham Clinton and Gen Gough-Cal-
thorpe, who were directors. have
been for several days before Mr. JUS
tice Joyce. False statements are al.
legged to have been made in the pros

sought to be made liable. The prin.
cipal allegation is that large holdings
were said to have been acquired in
the London and Globe and it's auxil-
larry companies, the profits whereon
were more than sufficient TO pay a
dividend Of 10 per cent on the cur.

year after the prospectus was issued
and dividend of seven shillings was
paid to the creditors, none of the
shareholders being paid anything. 1t

present methods young men seldom
attain the thorough, practical training
which is characteristic of the British
tradesman. The Employers Associa-
ton of Toronto has taken a decided
stand in this matter, and an appren.

whereby the parents or guardians of
the apprentice agree that for the full
term of three years he shall well and
faithfully serve the employer, his Sc
crets keep, his lawful commands and

cheerfully obey, and shall give and de-

time of employment join or become a
member of any society that claims or
attempts to control his actions or his
labor in any way, or other company,
association, or society, except the mill

the term of employment call for his
absence from his regular employment

HE COULDN'T RECOVER.

A young clergyman in making his
weekly visits among the poor of his
parish in a nearby country village
quite recently, learned of poor, sick
man who recently came from Ireland
with his wife and one child When
the minister called at the house he
was given most hearty welcome. and
on reaching the bedside of the sick
man was surprised at finding him ap-
parently well. The day being warm
the clergyman suggested that he get
out of bed and spend an hour under a
shade tree in the garden.
ut may do you good" he said.
The wife. who was present. said
her husband had better remain in the
house until the following day and then
take a little recreation. When the
clergyman returned a week later he
found the husband still in bed
Haven't you been out of bed since I
was here?" asked the man of the
cloak.
mo, sir, he has not" replied the
wife. 81 don't lie to tell you, sir. but
the doctor gave my husband up a
week ago and we sold his clothes.
That's the reason he didn't go to the
garden. '-Philadelphia Press.

Needle-Work Notes.

A very dainty stock is of fine linen
hand embroidered in pastel blue polka
dots. The shape of the stock is out
lined with narrow band of blue linen
and the stock is finished with lingerie
jabot of the sheerest lawn with a hand
embroidered border in white.
Instead of stiff white collars, stocks
are made of the waist material, either
fagoted or plain, and a double fold Of
scrim, crepe de lisse or ruching added
to soften the effect. AS these ruchings
come in every conceivable shade and
quality, their use is limitless.
For tea Jackets, dressing sacks and
house gowns ruff1es are an exceeding
ly popular means of decoration. Som e
of the ruffies on these house gowns
show row after row of ruching, which
gives the effect of billow of lace. 1t
is especially desirable for use on crepe
Decline.
The flowers upon buttons are usually
worked in pompadour effect; that is,
several delicate colcrs are blended in
the pattern, with one color standing
out more strongly than the others.
Sometimes the entire button is covered
with embroidery in several shades of
enc color.

Feminine Facts and Fancies
s

weakest, while the children, if served
at all, are given the last and strongest.
When it is desirable to have all the
cups uniform strength one should pour
a little into each and then begin over
again, reversing the order.
The water in which a small guam
tity of rice has been boiled until it is
gelatinous makes an excellent starch
for fine lawn or canvas collars and
cuffs. Dip them in and iron between
two cloths.
A distinct boon to the housekeepers
are the pretty Japanese napkins at Is
cents per 100. For luncheon box they
can not be surpassed, their inexpen-
siveness making a fresh one possible
each day. The firm texture and dainty
borders of the high-colored napkins
make good material for covering mar
row shelves in the kitchen, bath room
OF bed room, while four of them passed
together furnish a pretty cover for a
small stand. For covering the ordinary
flower pot or a baking dish for the
table the Japanese napkins are both
convenient and decorative.
A French woman famous for her de-
licious cooking uses garlic in many
places where an American would en-
ploy onion. A single clover of garlic
is halved and reduced to watery pulp
with few scrapings on the cut side.
No visible piece of the vegetable is
allowed where it can not be removed
easily before eating. Before roast
goes to the oven a puncture is made
in two or three places and Glove of
garlic pushed in out of sight. These
give an indefinable "far away" flavor
not easily traced.
A shower of rain will often appar-
emily ruin silk dress or blouse. Be
fore making sure that it has done so
see what ironing it will do. Often the
silk may be made to look quite new
again by being ircned with a moderate
ly hot iron on the wrong side. A piece
of muslin laid over the silk prevents
any chance of its being made shiny.
Table cloths deluxe are now ia
vored for dinners. Their centers are
composed of lace or drawn thread in
sertions and embroideries. This is
decorative alone but to make it more
so a piece of gold or silver gauze is
frequently laid on the table under the
lace insertion, through which the gauze
CLEANS with dainty effect Silver
table decorations go with the silver
gauze; gold gauze is preferable when
the flower vases are of crystal or col
ored glass and when the dinner service
has much gliding upon it.

Scholarships for Factory Children.

One of the most constant obstacles
placed in the way of those who have
devoted themselves to fighting the
child labor evils is the plea that chill
dren large enough to be made to work
should be allowed to do so, on the
ground that they are the support of
widowed mothers. Widows spring up
like weeds when attempts are made to
take children, manifestly under the
proper age, from factories and shops,
and return them to the schools where
they should be; tears, walls and suppli-
cations pursue both factory inspectors
and committees of investigation; but
when the state of these widows is
looked into, very curious things come
to light and they melt away like dew
Miss Jane Adams, always in the fore
front of good work, addressed the fed
Grafton of clubs of the I'd COMPRESSION
al district of Illinois at their annual
meeting, on the subject of Widowed
mothers" She said in part
How shall we reply to this favorite
argument of the opponents Of the child
labor law? And how shall we pre-
vent the law from working possible
hardship in families absolutely de-
pendent upon the wages of their young
children? The prospect of the law de-
priving women, whose husbands are
dead. of their only means of support
the little earnings of the oldest SON
has long been held up as bugaboo.
That there are many such cases
know from my own personal expert
ence. What is to be done then? Here
is a problem for the women's clubs, IL
they are to interest themselves in
higher things than their own mental
improvement or social diversion.
There is solution of this problem

And what sort Of religion have you

Religion? religion" queried the
man, as he held the 'possum with one
hand and scratched his head with the
other. Does you 'spect any black

Where Women Vote.

The vast province of Manitoba puts
a premium on feminine single-blessed-
ness by disenfranchising married wo-
men who are supposed to be represent
ed by their husbands, and comforting
the suffrage on unmarried women, who
are allowed to vote for all elective of.
fices but two, presumably the highest
within the gift Of the people, and there
fore the sole prerogative of man. In
wyoming, a state half as large again
as New England women vote for all
offices on precisely the same terms as
men. In the great state of Kansas
they have partial suffrage. Colorado.
Utah and Idaho grant them full suf-
frage. In many of our states women
vote on school questions; in some. on
other questions supposed to come with
in their province.
In England. Scotland and Wales wo-
men vote for all elective offices except
for members of parliament. All over
Ireland they vote for poor law guar
dians; in Dundalk and other seaports
they vote for harbor boards. In the
sreat city of Belfast they vote for all
municipal offices. In Sweden women
have the suffrage on about the same
terms as in England, and they vote in
directly for members of the house of
lords. In Russia, women who are
heads of households vote for all cleo
tive offices and on all local questions.
In Austria Hungary, they vote by
proxy at all elections, including provin-
cial and imperial parliaments. In Italy.
widows vote for members of parlia-
ment In Finland, women vote for all
elective offices. In British Burmah.
women taxpayers vote in the rural
elections. In the Madras and Bombay
provinces they vote in all the munich
palities.
In all the mfrs" or self-governing
villages of Russia-Asia, women house.
holders vote. Equal suffrage for men
and women has fer some years existed
New Zealand. In Victoria. New South
Wales, Queensland and South Austria
liza, women have municipal suffrage. In
the latter, women also vote at the par
liamentary elections. The Isle of Man
has long had woman suffrage. In Pit
cairns Island, Tasmania, Iceland. Sar-
DINA, Sicily and numerous other
islands, women have either full or par.
tial suffrage. These facts will prove
a revelation to many, and are interest
ing to both suffragists and non-suffra-
gists. They show that on the woman
question the world is moving forward
or backward, according to ones point
of view.

The Last Judue.

Recently, during the process of i'm.
raneling jury for the circuit court in
the District of Columbia, one of the
talesmen requested the court to excuse
him from service offering in excuse
the fact that he was deaf.
Very gently Chief Justice Bingham,
who was on the bench, asked the tales
man If he could hear what he, Judge
Bingham, was saying
oh, yes. sir" replied the reluctant
but truthful citizen.
How then, pray, does your affiiction
affect your" queried his honor.
We'll, judge" answered the man.

BEYOND THE HILLS.

Il can hear the drums as the army
comes
From beyond the hills" he said,
And he leaned and smiled like a
happy child
AS he shook his snowy head.
And he clutched his cane while the
far refrain
Came in murmurs to his ears.
But they whispered low: He has
dreamed it so,
And it is no drum he hears"
Il can hear the fife as it leaps with
life
And the drums roll madly too"
Was the old mans sigh as with kind
ling eye
He would hum the war songs
through.
1T is Jimmy Shea-that is how he'd
play
When the road was hard and long.
And it's Billy's drum that is calling
Comet
AS it keeps time with the song"
And his fingers slim beat a tattoo
grim
On the stout arm of the chair,
While his lips grew stern and his eyes
would burn
With the fire that once was there.
"Oh, the bugle call and the drums and
alll''
He would say, Their music fills
All the night and day; can hear them
play
In the march beyond the hills"
Il can hear the drums, and the army
comes
From beyond the hills" he said.
With his eyes aglow he saluted slow
And he touched his snowy head.
Then his eyes were closed as IL he but
dozed
And his day of days had dawned,
For the low drum beat had allured his
feet
To the hills-and far beyond.

was also sheltered by an umbrella.
Raining, isn't it?' queried the

The Use of Perfume.

Time was when woman used any
perfume which pleased her, In and out
of season. Then came the craze for
associating some particular perfume
with oneself, so that every article of
personal use or wear from the note
paper to handkerchief, should exhale
ones personality, so to speak, in terms
of white lilac or peau d'espagne or
crab apple Now fashion has gone a
step further and evolved a charming
plan of using certain scents with GER
tain clothes and on certain occasions,
being careful only that it shall all
match. In consequence a large stock
of fashionable perfumes adorns the
dressing table of the woman of fashion.
and odors are made a subject of as
much study as stocks or lingerie.
