Just as the yawl reached shore the

MINT TO DRIVE AWAY ANTS
Declared to Be an Easy and Cheap
Way to Get Rid of These
Kitchen Pests.

A young woman was complaining
bitterly to an elder friend of hers that
her kitchen had become infested with
ants and she was at her wits end to
know how to get rid of them. The
elder woman smiled and told her that
If this was the worst housekeeping
trouble she had encountered she was
indeed fortunate.
Ants, my dear" she said, simply
abhor the odor of mint. Whenever
you find these little pests around your
kitchen a little mint will drive them
away quicker than anything else. 1t
is a very common complaint to have
ants in your kitchen, as they are very
readily attracted by the odor of food
and come in from outside in order to
get it. Unwashed dishes, stored away
by a careless servant after a meal
are almost sure to attract them, and
they are sometimes most persevering
about remaining around.
However, the next time you are
bothered, get few sprigs of mint.
II you are going to have roast lamb,
the butcher will send enough with the
meat both to serve with the lamb and
to take care of the ants. Take these
stalks of mint and put them where the
ants are and then watch them beat it.
for the open. Try it once and you will
find it an easy; cheap and effective
way of getting rid of these pests"

oueer Funeral Customs

1t would be difficult to find stranger
funeral customs than those practiced
by the Andaman islanders. The ma
tives actually drop the bodies of their
parents into the sea at the end Of
ropes and leave them there until moth
ing remains but the bones, which they
gather and hang from the roofs Of
their huts.
Ii is a common custom for man to
sit by the house and watch the bones
of some relative. This is the way they
have of showing their love and re-
spect.
The bodies are treated in this fash
ion so that the evil spirits cannot
tease and pinch them. All that is
left are the dried bones, and these
are placed high so that if the evil
spirits wander into the huts they will
have a hard time to find them. If a
bone is carried away it means some
bad spirit has seized it, and this indi-

Inspiration Be nner.

WOMEN MEMS PEER

The premier asserted that "the in
terests of women had not been unduly
neglected by the house of commons"
and Miss Royden asked him what de-
gree of neglect was "due?" She point
ed out one instance after another
where the interests or men has been
protected and those of women ig-
nored; declared that even good gov
eminent is no substitute for self-gov-
eminent" and that women had be-
come politically conscious and never
would be sent to sleep again"
There is but one way Of finding out
what the people think" said the prime
representatives they send to parlia-
ment"
True answered Miss Robertson,
"and there has been majority
for women suffrage in the house Of
commons for 25 years."
There is only one course open to
the suffragist and that is to prevent
the return of the liberal party to pow
err at the next general election. Eng
fish women are trained in politics and
if the suffragists would lay aside all
minor difference and concentrate on
this one object, they could accomplish
it. The WOmen's Liberal federation,
an annex of the liberal party, with a
membership of over 100000, could do
this unaided. 1t would mean, of course.
the retirement from office of the men
of their own families and the defeat
of the party to which they always have
belonged, but many of them are pre-
pared to make this sacrifice. It seems
to be accepted on every hand that the
conservative party when it comes into
power again will grant some measure
of suffrage to women. This will not
be done as a matter of principle. but
because it will not wish to subject
itself to the experience of the liberal
party at the hands of women, and be-
cause the sentiment of the country is
so obviously in favor of their en-

JUSTICE IN RUSSIA
Devil Entered Little Body Of
Baby NataIia."
So Russian Official Report Said After
She Threw Dirt on Prominent
Governors coat-VilIage Forced
to Beg for Forgiveness.

ST. Petersburg. From Harkov
comes a story showing how the wheels
of administrative authority go round
in Russia.
The governor of the province, Mr.
Katerinitch, started out from Harkov
in an automobile, accompanied by a
mounted escort of the district chiefs
of police. What befell him is set
forth in an authorized published de-
port.
When few miles outside the town
the governor and his cortege passed
through a village where a little girl,
seated on the roadside, was making
mud pies.
There the devil" says the nara
tive, entered the little body of Nata-
liza Kolatchenko, aged five years She
took up some dirty earth and threw it
at the automobile and it fell on the
governors coat
The entire cortege halted A police
sergeant dismounted and made after
the little girl, who ran screaming into
kitchen-garden. A body of police
surrounded the garden and she was
put under arrest. Her mother, re-
turning from work in the helds, was
also arrested. and had to march I'M
der armed guard for II versts to the
chief of police station of the dis
trict. The chief of police then sum-
moned all the villagers to meet at
once and decide what penance they
would offer to palliate the enormity
that had occurred within their CON-
mune.
Meanwhile the little girls father,
who was employed at the railway
works at Harkov came home, and he.
too, was arrested and marched off for
II versts to the police office. A pri-
vate inquiry was held on him to learn
whether he was well-disposed or ill
disposed person. He was released
at three in the morning to find all the
villagers up at a meeting summoned
by the chief of police, who had a pc
tition for them to present to the gov.
ernor craving forgiveness for little
| Natalia. He wished them to present
it on their knees, but that they re-
fused to do"
The Governor returned to Harkov
next day. and they all stood uncovered
on the road with their petition. He
looked the other way and they had
to shout Wait, your excellency!

The villagers were then let go after
severe admonition on looking after
children But the mother was sen

youth for a Chinese. He wore a

cashmere, in a sober check pattern.
and above his tan shoes, with their
broad bows, were TO be seen some
wildly purple socks. A fawn scarf
was round his stand-up collar, and he
wore little silver watch ON his wrist.

Writer Tells How Suftragettes
0uttaIked the Premier.
Says Feminine Forces Can Prevent
Return of Liberal Party to Power
at Next EIectlon-Sees End
of Miiitancy.

London, misunderstanding to
England after an absence Of four
months on the continent, | have been
interested in ascertaining whether
there has been any change in the sit
uation regarding woman suffrage. says
a London woman writer. In writing to
Mrs, Fawcett. president of the consti-
tutional association, the National
Union, l said it seemed to me that,
with the remarkable four weeks pill
grimage of thousands of women from
Ill parts of the country, the great
peaceful demonstration in HYDE park
and later the receiving of their rep
resentatives by Prime minister AS
quith. the movement had entered upon
A new era.
She answered: q feel with you that
suffrage matters in England are on the
point of new development, but we
know nothing positively at present
and this represents truly the existing
condition. Nobody, constitutional or
militant, official or private citizen, will
hazard a definite opinion as to the
next step.
In her address to the premier, Mrs.
Fawcett appealed to him to find a way
out of the 'impasse" IN which not only
the suffragists but also the liberal
party found themselves, and this cor
rectly expresses the condition. The
former are no more hopelessly up
against a stone wall on this question
than is the latter.
Why did Mr. Asquith, after refusing
TO receive a deputation at the time
thousands of women were in London
for the Hyde park meeting, voluntari-
ly agree to do so a week later? He
said it was because he understood
they had fresh evidence OF popular
support to lay before him!"
At the time one division of the pill
grims" had reached Oxford and was
holding a mass meeting, the prime
minister was discovered incognito in
one of the colleges there. evidently
seeing for himself what everybody
knows-that there is tremendous
public sentiment behind this move
ment. He pretended to be impressed
at the testimony of the women as to
5he friendship CT the workingmen
shown all along the march, and yet for
a number of years this has been ex-
pressed by an overwhelming vote at
the conventions of the labor party.
Never was the willy politician more
in evidence than at this interview, but
the women matched him at every
point.
The liberal party will bow to the
will of the people" he said.
How is that Will to be expressed? %
they asked.
We'll. there is the referendum
would that suit your ideas?"
Two speeches have been made by
your colleagues on the referendum, .
answered Mrs. Fawcett; "one said it
was the best way ever invented for
stopping anything and the other said
il was the best way of dealing with
woman suffrage"
