 ' Lord Curzon's talents-he wasn't a lord when she married him-have en- abled him to raise his wife to a plane nearer that of royalty than any occu- pied by any other American-b born wo- man. while the Letter wealth has en- abled him to support the state of In dian Viceroy as he could not hove done without it.

 More than once when the imperial airs assumed by the Viceroy toward the Indian princes-during the famous Delhi durbar especially-have seemed likely to bring about a serious break of relations, his clever wife has stemmed the storm by paying those same princes and their families Just the attentions that she alone could pay, and in way that completely quenched their resent ment And, though certain of the Eng fish ladies in India have chafed bit at the vicereine's alm ost ornperta, otti- tude toward themselves, the wise gov ernmental heads in London have smoothed the threatened resulting diff faculties over and all has been well.

ptOm.
 Well known at the ripe age of 30, wherever there are women with poiit- ical aspirations, is Susan B. Anthony, one of the few famous women who have never married and a surviving pioneer of the fight for woman's right to vote.
 It Is only fair to say for this brave souI--brave, you must admit, whatev- CT you think about equal sunrage- that she nas never fought for fame but always For her cause. And though the right to vote has been extendedto women in only few States, she has won many legal rights for her sex, such as the married woman's joint legal proprietorship in her husbands real property, in some States, though ill no State has he any rights in hers
 To understand the nature of some other rights which Miss Anthony has won for women, let the reader be re- minded that when, in 1853, only hfty- two years ago, she made her first pub lie address before q teachers conven- tton. after a long and heated debate Of protest by the men present, a minister of the gospel told her that while the matter and the manner" of her ad- dress were entirely unobjectionable, he would rather his wife and daughter were dead than that either had just spoken in public as she had. Today none Is scandalIzed by woman speaking in almost any public place; this is true in Europe as well as in America, and Aunt Susan" and her friends are proud that she helped bring 1t all about. Miss Anthony has reg istered and voted. too. in her time. swearing in her vote. and afterward being arrested the same as any other Illegal voter must be. But her battle AL Ia mt NtTen- nous as once 1t was, and she does not expect to see complete victory.
 She has never won wealth along with her fame and the boons sine has secured for her sisters. Today her modest little home in Rochester, N. Y, is about all she has to show in material way for her life work.

Restricting women's Globes.

The opera management at Covent
Garden regulates the dress of its male
patrons. When is it going to do the
same to the women?
On Saturday night | went to the OPP
era. l wore the costume imposed on
me by the regulations OF the house.
l fully recognize the advantage of
those regulations Evening dress is
cheap, simple durable, prevents riv-
airy and extravaganza on the part of

class distinctions, and gives men who
are poor and doubtful of their social
position Chat is. the great majority of

tlon that no clothes of their own choos-
ing could confer, besides saving n
whole sex the trouble of considering
what they should wear on state oc

But | submit that what is sauce for
the gander is sauce for the goose.
Every argument that applies TO the
regulation of the mans dress apples

by long series Of Investigations, hav-
ing established the similarity in every
respect of the blood of the higher apes
and human beings. If the blood serum
Of one animal be mixed with that Of
any c.har the mixture remains clear;
If, however, blood be taken from an
ape and injected into the vein Of Il
rabbit, the blood subsequently taken
from the rabbit becomes troubled when
mixed with more apes blood.
A similar result is obtained if human
blood be injected into the veins of a

lied upon to prove If blood found on

Is human. The higher the ape in the
