WOMAN'S PART IN THE ELECTION. At no time has woman's interest in social questions and political issues been greater than 't is to-day. Whether we can show the judg- ment and knowledge of practical life, •whether we sufficiently logical (man or woman, who is ?) claim that withheld vote, at least one virtue ivoman is certain, and that it. her devocton her principles. Of course, all women are not greatly interested in politics (nor are all men), ut among those who are, none will work harder, or will sacrifice more in the coming fight- probably, alas none will be more bitter- though, on the other hand, none will more eagerly catch their men-folk with the infection of enthu- siasm than a particular section of the women of England. Ah, well, history but repeats itself. Now as ever the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.LADY PHYLLIS in The Py- bonder,

A PITIABLE DECLINE IN ELECTIONEERING. Reports from London and the provinces show that much of the old-time spirit of electioneering has evaporated. The cayenne-pepper dodge is no longer in favour, and the supply of flour-balls and eggs seems to be more than equal to the demand. No doubt the ardent youth of our large towns will look upon this as a pitiable decline. When I was a boy we used to extract Osore fun from an election than we did from the II gruelllngs" of the poor pantaloon by his son Joey, the clown. A ticket meeting was unknown forty years ago. Now, the poor glaziers, after a dust-up in a town hall, do not make enough out °f the gathering to pick their teeth with. Ihe glazier and the carpenter and the soot merchant are all representatives of our declining industries. -they once regarded a general election as a harvest. But as one of them observed to me last ^eek, It ain't no harvest, guv'nor, now! Not harve "—T. NCDONALD in London Opinion and To-Day.

MEMS FROM MADAME." In this week's Madame, Mrs. Aria gives her readers some advice on the subject of what to buy at the sales. She says Oddments which should be looked after always are chiffon, flower- edor plain these being pre-eminently useful towards the renovation of evening frocks, and offering themselves persuasively to the making of .summer blouses. The only thing to be carefully Considered in purchasing them is that they be absolutely clean. I hold no brief for soiled goods, even at the lowest rates, though I admit that under such conditions it is possible to buy remarkably cheaply, yet the ultimate cost Blust be considered of the visit to the cleaner, and the inevitable addition of new chiffon frills and silk waistbands. I know not why, but so it if, chiffon frills and silk waistbands have an unpleas- ing habit of becoming either too hard or too soft .nder the machinations of even the most con- scientious of cleaners, while their work is done with complete success on frocks of silk or satin net or cloth." In this week's Madame, Mrs. Aria tells her readers that Ribbon is very much in favour for decorating the hair, its only rival being that Paradise plume I am always deploring. Scarves of chiffon with fringed ends are allowed the privilege of adorning the coiffures of the fair; and no well-regulated head appears either in the day or evening without little bunches of curls, the hairdresser being most often called upon to supply these, sioce under his thoughtful manage- ment we can get them just of the length and size and number we need to suit our faces and the shape of our heads. And we appear to have no hesitation in owning that our curls did not 'grow there.' I shall never forget the candid little boy, who had frequently watched his Jaotherather toilet, who, when asked to fetch her a hairpin, demanded fwhether it should be one with a curl or without And yet, in reply- ing to him, none of the expected embarrassment was forthcoming, although the room was full of people. But, after all, why should we not frankly permit art to supply the deficiencies of nature

FURTHER DEVELOPMENT IN TURBINE STEAMERS. The adoption of the Steam Turbine for Marine propulsion, which has lately been so successful in Atlantic and cross-channel steamers, has been decided upon for the three steamers which are being constructed for the new direct route between England and Ireland, via Fishguard and Rosslare, which will be inaugurated during the coming Summer. The well-known firms of Messrs. Cammell, Laird & Co., Birkenhead, and Messrs. John Brown & Co., Clydebank, have been entrusted with the building of these fine vessels, and the reputation of these firms is a sufficient guarantee that the ships will rank with the best productions of modern naval architec- ture they will, in fact, be the most magnificent cross-channel vessels afloat. The steamers will be appropriately named" St. George," St. Patrick," and St. David," and their principal dimensions are Length 350 feet, Breadth 41 feet, Depth 17 feet 6 inches. The first-named vessel will be launched from Messrs. Cammell, Laird's Yard on Saturday, an 1 it is antici- pated that the other two will be ready for the same ceremony very shortly. The Steamers have been designed upon the most modern principles, the Saloon and Cabin fittings being of a sumptuous character and will contain every np-to-date requirement for the comfort and convenience of passengers. Special attention has been given to the provision of an ample number of private sleeping cabins, and the Ladies' Drawing Room and the Gentlemen's Smoke Room have been designed with the view of combining luxury and utility. The Parsons' Turbines will develop a Horse Power capable of propelling the vessels at a speed of 22? knots, and the distance of 51 nautical miles between Fishguard in Pembrokeshire and Rosslare, County Wexford, will therefore be covered well under 3 hours, thus making it the shortest sea passage between England and Ireland. Fish- guard Harbour, which is situated in South Cardigan Bay on the Pembrokeshire coast, is a most favoured spot. With the provision of a new breakwater 2,000 feet long, it is practically sheltered from all winds and seas, and is remarkable for its freedom from fog. The depth of water is such that vessels of the largest draught can be accommodated with perfect safety at all states of the tide. It will be remembered that recently the Cunard Liner Carmania could not land passengers or mails at Queenstown in consequence of the gale, while at the same time many vessels were riding in safety in the spacious and protected harbour of Fishguard.

Striking Testimony from Mr. Lloyd Jones :— 50, RHOSDDI; ROAD, WRBXHAM, Igor- To Messrs. KEEN, ROBINSON & Co., LtJ. London. Honour to whom Honour Is due." GBNTLBMEN, I am taking upon myself the liberty of sending you my little son's photograph and to tell you that it is through your Patent Barley that he is our chief comfort and treasure to-day. I feel it my duty to acknowledge the benefit derived from your prepara- tion, inasmuch as you have not only saved my little man's life but you have also made my dear wife and myself one of the happiest couples in the town of Wrexham to-day. His age "\S four months and he is still going strong. I may just further add that up to two months I had in my own private opinion a very slight hope that we should ever rear him, but thank Heaven your prepara- tion was recommended to me just in time. After he commenced to use it, I noticed a change in twenty-four hours. Such a change, had I not experiemcod it myself,, I could not have believed. Hoping you will accept my little son's photograph, and wishing you every prosperity. I aiu, Gentlemen, Faithfully yours, T. LLOYD JONES. Please mention this paper.
