FASHIONS AND THE VOTE.
Woman's Dress as Hindrance to Her Cause.

Woman's Dress as Hindrance to Her Cause.
1t has become n commonplace in the last
month or two that the worst enemy OF
womau's cause is the woman who commits
such an net as the assault on the Rokeby
Venus. It is questionable whether an even
greater obstruction to the progress Of the
cause is not being daily, if less obtrusively,
imposed by the great mass of women who
set and follow the fashions Of the moment.
Stated briefly, the fact is that men cannot
imagine u woman, dressed as women have
seen fit to dress for the last few years,
being competent to take any serious or worthy
part in the work of the world. He cannot
believe in a woman being capable Of efficient,
vigorous or Independents action when ham
pered by the skirt of the period. 1t is equally
hard for him to suppose that n woman
can get a clear view of public affairs OF vote
intelligently when wearing her hat over one
eye. Nor is this view of his unreasonable.
To the masculine mind woman's attitude
towards the fashions is at all times inco4n-
prehensibIe and a thing to be deplored. 1t
is q subject not often discussed by men,
and then always in a tone of amusement III

ton. In the last few years there has Leen

THE ORIGIN OF BACILLI.


The transformation caused by Mme. Henri
of the bacillus Of anthrax under the pro
louged influence OF uItro-ylolet rays into
a coccus having totally different disense-
producing powers is discovery Of capital
Importance, lending strong support to what
has long been suspected-namely, that trans
formations Of common germs within the body
may occasionally occur, and may lead to their
assumption Of altered life processes, and us q
consequence the production Of this or that
disease process. 1t tends, in short, to break
down ultra contagionist doctrines.@nl to pave
the way for the more general recognition
that contagious Diseases dixie .foot-and-
mouth disease and several others may be
still arising he moro. This should stimulate
research for the discovery OF the conditions
Of origin Of such diseases.
The latest evidence in actual proof, us |
mnintain, that these organisms are still com
ing into being dc MORO is to be found in a
