LANDS OF EMANCIPATION.

In the Pacific Ocean far beyond
China and Japan, lie the only two
countries in the world which fully ac-
knowledge the equality of men and
women by giving political rights to all
citizens of twenty-one, regardless of
sex. They are New Zealand and Aus
tralia
New Zealand was the first by a doz-
en- years to put her daughters on an
equality with her sons. 1t was in 1867
that the cry was raised, shall our
mothers, wives, and sisters be our
equals or our subjects?"
The answer was given in 1898 by the
full acknowledgment of women. In
Australia the change came more grad
ually, province by province. But few
months ago the final concession was
made and now Australian women, like
their sisters of New Zealand, are the
equals and not the subjects of their
husbands, brothers and sons
More conservative than England's
colonies of the Southern Seas is her

There widows and spinsters are held
in high favor, for full municipal suf-

velop her frame and strength because
of this active competition. We see in
the result of this so-called emancipa-
ton of women a larger, stronger and
brainer woman.

athletics on the part of boys and girls
will tend to enlarge the frame, even
if it does restrict the amount of
knowledge. The frame of the girl is
even more susceptible to the charging
influence of exercise than that of the
boy, by reason of centuries of repres-

THE FIRST SOCIETY NEWSPAPER.

In these days of many society papers
it is interesting 10 recall the genesis
of the first one of the race which was
produced in France in the beginning
of the eighteenth century.
1t was called Nouvelles a la Main
or Hand to Hand news in those days
and the inventor was a lady named
Nine. Doub,et. Nine Doublet received
all the best society of Paris and both
she and her guests loved scandal. To
cater for their taste d book was kept
into which every visitor wrote what
he or she had picked up in the way
of news and gossip since his or ner
last visit and these news items were
afterward copied on to sheets of white
paper and taken round TO the houses
of those of Nine. Doublet's friends v no
had not called that day. Eventually
the thing developed into a commercial
enterprise and the Hand to Hand News
was sold to all who wanted it for six
francs monthly or a pound year. But
a pound in those days was, it. must be
remembered. worth a good deal more
than it is now.
In 1853 when Nine. Doub!et was
quite an old lady. an attempt Was
made to stop the circulation Of her
Nouvelles a la Main. But they had
gained so great a hold upon the pubic
taste that the police We're powerless TO
do so.-Paris correspondence.

was an important catch in the an
cient town of Nerac, and her husband
not only came into possession of a
goodly dot, but succeeded to an excel
lent legal practice, which was the basis
of his present fortune. She has mingled
with the aristocracy all her life and
has many friends among the nobility.
1t is fair to presume that the Elysee
will now become a social centre not
equaled since the days of Carnot. The
new Presidents wife is well qualified
to uphold the honor and dignity of his
position, whether she is called upon
to entertain a queen or plebeian.
When the French constitution was
drawn up the Empress Eugene was
unpopular with the Republicans, and
they We're determined that the ruler
should not come under petticoat gov

Madame Ia Presidente will have the
official title that goes with her posi-
ton. because it has been found that
on many occasions the wife of the
ruler has been embarrassed when
questions of social precedence have

WOMAN'S TITLES IN FRANCE AND
GERMANY

Frenchwomen still feel the lingering
weight of the Code Napoleon, though
they are by no means passive under
it's oppression. The country that pro-
duced Madame Roland and Madame
de Stael could never lack women of
spirit or brains. But. as in all the
older countries, tradition and conven-
ton are powerful and hard to break.
The French girl is still chaperoned al
most as closely as if the independence
of woman was an unthought-of dream.
novel protest of FrenchWomen is
against the use of titles defining the
marital status of their sex. They are
abandoning "Mademoiselle'' and call
ing all grown women Madame" as all
adult men are called Monsieur" In
Germany, women are taking two steps
toward strengthening out their cour-
tesy titles. There it has always been
customary to designate the wife of a
professor. doctor or other dignitary,
as Frau Professor, Frau Doctor, etc.
of late years genuine Frau Professors
and Doctors, women who have gained
honOrs, not merely. married them, have
become so numerous that there has
been confusion. The advanced Ger
man women are now declaring against
borrowed titles and in favor OF the
abolition of "Fraulein."
In sturdy little Iceland, where the
women are very eanieh alive and quite
in the current of progress. they are
giving up not only all titles, but sur
names as Well and are going back to
unadorned first names.
In Italy, Spain, and Portugal the up
ward movement OF women has come
mainly from the masses. not, as in
Russia. from the aristocrats. or, as
among the English-speaking races
from the middle classes

ABOUT DANCING.

Bishop William Stang Of the Cath
ole diocese OF Fan River, has addressed
10 the priests under his Jurisdiction a
letter dcnounring dancing. In part he
says: III is forbidden to have dancing
on Saturday nights and Sundays. Sat
urday night dances lead TO degecra-
tion Of the Lords Day; they have been
a source OF misery and scandal In the
past; they must be stopped at once.
While calling the attention OF your peo-
pie to the diocesan statute forbiddIng
them. you viii denounce with apostolic
freedom and zeal, indiscriminate and
lascivious dances, so common in our
day The world may sneer at such
teaching and call our denunciation ex-
aggeratlons and unreasonable exac-
lions without solid foundation, The
fathers and doctors are unanimous In
branding the custom Of dancing as an
infectious sink Of impiety and obscen-
ity, as the school OF vice and the grave
Of Innocence. Among the kinds Of mod
ern dances pointed out by IN slogans
as decidedly indecent and therefore
strictly forbidden are what are called
the waltz, polka, gallop, and others OF
a kindred nature" Perhaps this is ex-
IRENE In some respects but 1t is whole
some In most regards.

ROMAN STATISTICS,

According TO the advance sheets of
the Roman Catholic directory, as quot
ed by an exchange. the total number Of
followers of the Roman church in this
country now is 1851, 9ii This Is said
TO be an Increase OF lsg,l5l over the
previous census--a figure which looks
rather small, in view OF the large inn
migration from Catholic countries. We
believe the Catholic leaders themselves
feel the necessity of taking care Of the
Catholic immigrants, before they get
lost In the general malstroem OF world
ly interests,
With regard to the distribution OF the
Catholic population, the archdiocese OF
New York and Chicago are each rated
as having 1900 900 Catholic Inhabitants.
In this count the village and suburban
towns are also included. 1t must be
taken into consideration, however that
the archdiocese OF New York does not
embrace the city OF Brooklyn. which IA

the diocese OF Brooklyn is fourth with

population Of 100000. while the diocese
OF Plttsburg. archdiocese OF st, Louis,

THE CHINESE BOYCOTT.

odtum Of the American exclusion ought
to be mostly felt, since the oyerwhelm-
ingly greatest part of Chinese ennis ra-
tlon Is from that section OF the country.

originated In the immediate vicinity of
