To Repair Palaces

The Louvre, the Palace of Versailles,
and the Pantheon will all be placed in
the hands of workmen for alterations and
repairs. Alarmed by the cracks which
have appeared in the ministry of marine,
the tunneling and heavy traffic of the
Metropolitan railways in the neighbor-
hood, have succeeded in keeping the line
now under construction near the Louvre
over 90 feet away from it's foundations
As an additional safeguard they advocate
the restoration of the original aspect OF
the Louvre which, as old designs and
recent excavations show. was in part sur
rounded by a dry moat. This moat is
now filled in, and its excavation would.

ground railway, and at the same time
would lessen the humidity of the lower
rooms Of The Louvre which, since the
great floods of 1910, has increased every
year.
A recent viist OF the historical monu-
ments' committee to the Palace of Yer
sailles has revealed the necessity of a
number of important restorations and re-
pairs in the old wing Of the palace, which
faces on the Court des Princes. fl was
this portion of the palace which Louis
XIV. in spite of the advice of Colbert
and the royal architects insisted upon
preserving in the course of his costly and
ambitious building operations The old
Louis XIII walls were enveloned in new
masonry, and time has dealt harshly with

Wonders of Lancashire "Wakes,,

During his Lancashire tour King
George had an opportunity OF witness
| ing one of the most interesting sights
in the world says Tit Bits. He saw the
Lancashire operatives holiday making,
and there is no one who gets more
hearty enjoyment out of his sojourn by
the sea than the mill hand. For so or
81 weeks in the year he puts little
brass in the going-away club, and
then when his holiday week or fort
night comes round he has a grand

time. a really jolly holiday, caring
comes to the end of his money: for to
return home with any of his savings
left Is not the way of the Lancashire
lad or lassie. "The' mon," they say.
who Wilma blue his wake brass
would borrow money from you to put +
TIL bank"
1t is not an uncommon thing for a
family of operatives to spend ego or
$50 in the course of five or six days
holiday making and one family has
been known to save as much as ETA
for wake" and return from their
holiday without a single coin left This
however, is but typical of the mill hand
who works hard and plays hard
Every mill has it's going away club,
and it is estimated that this year they
have shared out half million sterling.
Saving clubs of Bolton have paid out
over f50,00o and the banks 100000 more
and from Oldham. Blackburn, Preston
and Bury come the same tale of hun
dreds of thousands of pounds being
paid out by clubs to the happy GO
lucky mill hands, who from July to
September invade mostly the northern
seaside resorts.
During -the last two or three years,
however they have varied the usual
holiday at Blackpool or Douglas by GO
ing farther afield. and one finds them
holiday making at such places as
Folkestone, Deal and Dover Torquay,
and Weston-super-M Mare, while many OF
them indulge in excursions to Holland,
France and Belgium.
Blaclxpool, however. is still first ia
vorite with the majority, and 1t is es-
tlmated that that popular resort is in
vaded every week by at least $4,000
operatives. There Is no place like
Blackpool in their eyes, and appar-
emily in the eyes OF other peoule. too:
for II is a bad season for Blacxpool
when its total number Of visitors is
fewer than 4.O00.0OO
The mill girl is even more enthusi-
astic in regard to saving for holidays
than the men. and. no matter what
she may earn or what her weekly ex-
penses are. she will find ways and
means to put by a little for the going
away club. 1t may only be a few COD

The funds at the disposal of the COM
mission amount to only $4,000 a year, and
this sum is quite inadequate to carry OUT
the necessary repairs at Versailles and
the Trianon The very northern wing
of the chateau is in a very neglected
condition. Its pillars are crumbling under
the weight they have to support, and the
balustrade along the roof is falling to
pieces. The decay is not confined to the
palace. The stone work of some of the
alleys of the park ons-legged Dianas and

CHILD SUICIDES ARE

St Petersburg, August 30.
According to the statistics OF
child suicide in Russia for the
year of 1911, which have Just
been published, there were 1916
cases among the pupils of the
schools of the ministry of public
instructions. There were also
50 cases of attempted suicide by
boys and 32 by girls The mo-
tives are classified under the
headings. nervous and mental

nation against woman and cen no longer
be tolerated.
Here are some expressions in the cru
sade to cure this evil which has been
inaugurated by the saffragists.
Madame Schmahl English woman
long settled in France, who has done more
practical work for women's rights than
any French woman, as she succeeded In
getting the measure through Parliament
giving a married woman sole ownership
of her earnings writes: Physical weak
ness cannot be an excuse for guilty
woman, since she has shown that she
had sufficient strength to commit the
crime for which she has been sentenced
to death.
The Duchesse Dues opinion is short
and to the point. 1T seems to me that
the answer to this question Is simple
enough. LIE crime n'z pass de sexs'
Ia an Insult to Woman
nae of the few militant French suffra-
t-.sts, Madame Auclert writes: Both
sexes must be equal before the ballot
box-and before the guillotine. Dr. Pale
tier, another suffragist and a lady doctor,
says: THE sort of gallantry by which
women condemned to death are let oil
from the guilotne is an insult to the
feminine sex. just as all gallantry is.
Madame Oddo- Dehou, who is president
of the "French Group of Studies for the
Civil Rights of Women" holds the eX-
treme view that IF woman has muir
dered, even though it be her husband
whom she has murdered, she must pay the
penalty, according to the law. 1t would
not displease us even that women's crimes
and misdemeanors should be punished
more severely than those of men, for
women represent the moral element in
society
Madame Vincent, president of the
French Womans Suffrage Union is OPP
posed to capital punishment, and in any
case considers that SO long as woman
does not take any part in legislation 1t
Is right that she should not suffer the
death penalty when condemned to it."
The novelist Madame Daniel Lesueur,
of the sexes up to and including the
suillotine. "In all sincerity, | do not think
that the most violent feminist-and | am
not that-can really consider that her the
ories have scored because woman mas
been guilotined just like the man.
There is one thing ! am quite certain
about, and that is that the woman con-
demned to death would not be OF that
opinion" Madame LcroyAllais. an au-
thoress. holds much the same view. "A
murderess is as guilty as a murderer. But
so long as woman is treated as an in
ferior by the Law men made she must be
considered less guilty in the eyes of the
law, and must therefore be less punished" ="
So far as heard from none of the vic
Tins of the particular injustice has made
no complaint.
