said she would. BY a happy chance

To Look Slim.

If you wish to look slim do not
dress in white or light-colored olo-
thes.
Stripes are more becoming than
spots or checks, but narrow checks
could be worn.
Short skirts are still very becom-
ing; flowing draperies, on the other
hand, give grace
A long central line of trimmings
from throat to hem adds a certain
height; SO does a single founce at
the bottom of the skirt.
Many frills should be avoided.
A tight-ftting gown is never be-
coming to a stout figure. Wear
something which has a softening
effect. IL will be far more becom-
ing.

Growing r5wer Of Electric Lights.

A comparison has recently been
made of the power OF the lights in
French lighthouses at various peri
DDS In the past So years. In 1874.
when only oil lights were used, the
highest power was equal to $4,000
candles. In 1882, when the electric
light was introduced, the power rose
to maximum OF $4,000 candles.
Since then frequent improvements
have been made in the electric lights
until. at present, the most powerful
lighthouses project an illumination
nearly equal to 100000 candles.

On q Siberian Railway.

A st. Petersburg correspondent
states that matters are going from
bad to worse In connection WITH the
East-Siberian Railway. This is Tue
mainly to the lack of money; the
chief officials receive their salaries
very irregularly; thus they are driven
to commit various kinds of en-
bezzlemsnt In order to get their wag-
es. To make matters worse the Sun

the railway cannot compete with

SUFFRAGE IN NEW ZEALAND.
Women's Influence Felt in Legisla-
ton With Good Results,


Woman suffrage works we'll in
New Zealand, according to letter
received from Sir Joseph Ward, pre-
mier OF the country, which was read
at the meeting of the Massachusetts
Woman Suffrage association In Bos-
ton. Sir Joseph wrote: THE wo-
men care for the vote and use it. In
1888, when women we're enfranchis-
ed, SO per cent. of them went TO the
polls, while less than 20 per cent Of
the men voted. 1t appears, however,
that this awoke the men to a sense
of their duty and the percentage of
male voters has consistently risen,
until at the last election approx
imately the same percentage of men
and women went TO the polls. The
statement that the right to vote rem
ders a woman less attractive and
companiouable Is nonsense. IL is
useful to provide intelligent topics
Tor men and women to talk about a.
part from their own private affairs.
1t enlarges their mental horizon.
A point that has especially struck
me In the behavior of women in ra-
lation to politics is the absence Of
wranglIng and bitterness. Altogeth-
er, we take our politics more good
naturedly In New Zealand. The wo-
mans influence Is felt in all legis-
lation and it Is a sane. healthy infu-
ence, which makes for purity in poll
tics. Woman suffrage was granted
by a majority of only two votes.
Now It is doubtful if in the whole
house there would be two to oppose
It."
