ew woman is to be found south as well as north of the equator and is yet a true American has been well proved. The Consul of one of the South American Republics, when visited in regard to advance movements going on in his country, said that women were largely instrumental in promot ing enterprises looking to speedy development of people and country. Many women of energy and note were spoken of. Especially have the Venez nelans been active. From Cuba there have gone during the years of conflict with Spain many refugees. particularly women and children, and these have been helped in every possible way by the leading women of Caracas. A woman's club was organized in the capital of Venezuela in the summer of 1897. It is called "Daughters of America" (Hijas de America), which title shows its object to be far reach ing. The pr.esident is Senora Andrea de Mercado, wife of Lorenzo Mercado, one of the wealthy and cultured citizens of the Republic. Senora Ana de Mola is the treasurer. Her husband is a member of one of the oldeFi. families of Cuba, and this woman's work for her sex is dictated by her hatred of oppression and de sire to elevate her sex to a sphere of general usefulness. Senorita Aminto Consuega, who is the secretary of the club, is called one of the most talented and progressive of the women who are in public or semi-public positions. Shehastraveled extensively in both hemispheres, speaks fluently several languages, and has made herself an fait with the con dition of the messes in many lands. She is convincing, logical and inspir ing Spanish-Americans have pre-emin ently the gift of fluent speech. Declamation is made of great account in the schools of both boys and girls. The languages, too, are generally taught, educated people always speak ing at least two, their own and French, and English is also learned. It is, however, more dificult to speak English and other languages, although many read and understand it well. Senorita Conregua constantly de clares that a Government's first duty is to make sure and true the political advancement, She speaks with force of the cruelty in the blood of the Spanish people, and nakes it respon sible for many woes, and she upholds international arbitration. The desire of all these earnest thinkers and workers is to promote a high. standard of national life and family living, and they wish, more over, to secure a close interest with the people of the United States and movements that are of common in terest to those who work.Jor the pub lic good.--3ew Y9rir"Iibune. Advice-tO the Stout Woman. Gae of the commonest and at the - ime time most telling faults of the dress-skirt of the woman who is stout through the hips and the abdomen is the inclination to rise up in front, which ruins any gown. Rather have your dress-skirt long enough to step on it than short. It detracts from your height, makes you look stouter, rhows the feet plainly, and takes all grace and style from the general make-up. A cut that gives a high waist line and shoulders in the back adds apparent height. Short, fat arms look better in moderately close sleeves rather than the present ultra tightness, and take on better propor t ions if trimmed up and down the arm, falling well over the wrist.. The short neck looks longer when the collar is quite high and plain, and should be set quite low on the bodice, but not low enough to make the flesh roll at the line where the collar- and the bodice meet. Ruche-hike effects have a tendency to shorten the neck and lessen the shoulder curve, and should be worn only by women who have -- some length of neck. Bretelles lengthen the waist, but must be -very narrow and pcinted at the waist-line, and gr-ow broader at the top of the shouldere. Flaring high collars are niot designed for wvomen of short, fat necks. Belts made quite pointed in front, with a hitch-up in the back, are an improvement to the woman whose fullness of stomach lies high, giving her a long-waisted appearance. Wom en with exaggerated busts look better with some sort of fullness or trimming at this point, and the same rule ap plies to the woman dev,id of flesh at this point. Fussily trimmed revers and turn-ove r collars help cover up deficiencies of the slender woman, while for the stor.t woman the trim mings should be flat and severe. Study harmony of color, consistency in style, and give the same considera tion and acknowledgment to.short comings as to your good points, and the matter of successful dressing is -made much easier.--Ladies' Home yournal.. Foulardi Wa4icin1g Costume. The most promising fabrics for sum mer dress occasions are light buntings, veilings,.crepe de Chine, and foulards, among the non-washable fabrics. Among these, foulard, which is an old and tried favorite, has obtained a firm position in woman's wardrobe. Not only is a gown of this material useful and dainty for summer wear, but where the materials are well chosen it will likewise do good service as an in-door gown for informal evenings at home during the autumn and winter. The new prodnets of this season are, many of them. elaborately stamped and fan cifully colored in Persiau designs; some again heing ofC old chintz pat terns, such as our gr-andmiothers fan cied. lIdeed, they vary from the most complex aesigas to those repre senting tiny flowers strewn with D)res. den effct upon cream, white, pare blue ground upon which white cres eents are scattered. The ground be tween is traced with curling vines of pale green. A broad baud trimming of green and blue foulard, edged with narrow blue velvet ribbon, simulates a peplum over-dress with side open inz.

The Engagement Kingr. The wearing of colored stones fo, engagement rings is one of the latesi society fads. Once a solitaire, just a big as the purse, or rather the gen erosity of the fiance would permit him to buy, was the only correct thing. But a certain imperious young girl who made a point of wearing nothing but rubies insisted that her engage ment circlet should be set with this beautiful stone. She may be said to have set the fashion, and she has founcl many followers. Many girls now prefer their engage ment ring shall contain their birth stone, and rings with stones of every color have caught the popular fancy and the engaged young man's ducats. There is only one rule for engagement rings. They must be set severely and simply,'with no attempt at the unique or elaborate. The stone should be the favorite of its prospective owner. A pretty, old-time custom that has for centuries been in vogue in Ger many has now crossed the waters and found favor here, and that is the fash ion of exchanging engagement rings. The girl gives her betrothed a ring which he wears presumably with as much pleasure and secret satisfaction as it gives her to see his love token on her own slim finger. A French Florence Nightingale. Mine. Coralie Cahen, who has just died at Nenilly in her sixty-seventh year, may be described without exag geration as the Florence Nightingale of the Franco-German war. Having lost her husband and her only child just before hostilities broke out, she resolved to devote her life to the cause of humanity. She organized an am bulance corps at Metz, and remained at her post till the capitulation. Tours was the next scene of her labors, and Gambetta intrusted to her the hospital at Vendome. Peace came, and she hurried to Lorraine to look after the hordes of returning prisoners. Find ing that many were still missing, she passed into Germany and under the protection of the Empress Augusta visited sixty-six fortresses, where she procured the release of many captives detained for various offenses. Her work was not then done, for she be sieged the war office in Berlin till she had traced 59,000 dead or living Frenchmen, of whom the authorities in Paris had no knowledge. Her re maining years were spent in charge of the Jewish Orphanage at Neuilly, and not until 1889 did she receive the cross of the Legion of Honor .--London Chronicle. Queen Victoria's Imnpartial Outinas'. The recent visit of Queen Victoria to the Riviera is the thirteenth since her accession to the throne. The position occupied by the British sovereign happily robs her foreign tours of political significance, and her movements are not liable to cause panics in European chancelleries or furnish matter for profound leading articles in the organs of public opinion. But, as if to deprive her annual tour of any apparent political bias, her Majesty. since her accession, has shown the greatest catholicity in the choice of residence. Since 1843 she has paid thirteen visits to France, ten to Germs.ny, four to Italy, two to Belgium, one to Austria and one to Switzerland. Her first visit to the Riviera was in 1882. This henceforth became her favorite foreign residence, for since that visit her MIajesty has returned no fewer than seven times. During her visits to France her 3Majesty has greeted the representative of every regime, mon archy, empire and republic, her first visit being to King Louis Philippe, her only visit to Par-is being as the guest of the Emperor Napoleon III., while two years ago she had an inter view with 31 Felix Faure. Animal liangles. The newest bracelet is exceedingly oriental in design. It is a heavy gold ring, which slips on and off over the hand and is studded with three gems, a jade stone, amethyst and coral. Another novelty in the bracelet iine is also a heavy gold hoop, from which is suspended no less than half a dozen bangles in animal designs. Pigs. goats, dogs and horses appear to be the favorites. These animal bangles arc also much used as watch charms. Crepe in the Widow's Gown. In England the widow's gown is made almost entirely of the crepe, the flounces around the skirt, panels, and other facings being also of it. It is said that heavy crepe is to be more worn this year in England than ever before, since the Princess of WVales and members of the royal family are wearing very deep morning for Prince Albert of Coburg.

Changeable ribbon stocks in com binations of black and cerise, blue and red and brown and violet Jewvelry and pins of every descrip tio :in the form of .violets and clover leaves in their nitural c-olorings. the system of taking thumb marks fo the identification of prisoners was troduced in several of the In -'an prisons some time ago, but in a est case brought before the Calcut igh Court it was decided that er tho existing Indian Eviden act these impressions were admissible as evidence. The- was also the diffi culty of classit.ying and indexing the finger impressions, but this has since been over' ome by a system eiaboiated by the:inspector-General of Police in Bengal, and the bill now before the Indian Office in England will probably become law, states the Sun. .n a country like India, where the people are so illiterate, the mere affixing of a mark certified to by wit nesses to a document has little legal value, the facilities afforded to forgery ,being so great. But the imprint of the lines of the thumb or of one of the fingers is a personal mark not easily falsified or mistaken. This method has been in use in the past in various countries, but it is the first time that it has been introduced into modern law, and its working will be watched with no little interest. It is an interesting fact that the conventional substitute in Turkish official documents for the royal or im perial arms on those of other countries is the modified form of the representa tion of the human hand. The toughra, as it is called, or sign manual, derives its origin from an incident in Ottoman history. One of the earlier Sultans, being unable to write, and having no seal convenient on the occasion of the signing of a treaty, placed his hand on the ink pad and imprinted its mark on the treaty in token of ratification.

Iron is Plentiful in Porto Rlico. Much has been said recently about the mineral resources of Porto Rico and their commercial value. An of ficial report to the United States Geo logical Survey just made by Robert T. Hill indicates that the most valuable metallic resource of the island is a large deposit of magnetic iron in a hill just north of yTuncos. The ore is of great purity, containing fully sixty six per cent. of pure iron. It has been~estimated that there are 35,000, 000 tons of this ore in sight. On the most conservative basis the deposit contains 10,000,000 tons of metallic iron. The deposit is ten miles distant from a seaport, and its development will necessitate the construction of a railroad. Mr. Hill reports that the conditions of the deposit could not be more favorable. The ore is encount ered in compact masses, easy of ex traction and covered only by a light layer of earth. The hill is about 470 feet high and the approach to it from the seaport of Naguabo is by a two per cent. grade. Naguabo is said to be able to accomadate ships of twenty feet draft.-New York Press. The Fate~ of a K~entucky Hunter. While Samuel Dent was engaged in cutting up a large tree he had felled the other day near the Marshall County line in Kentucky he dis covered in a cyst in the tree a lot of bones, which were brought to town and pronounced as human bones by physicians. Portions of a skull and big bones are very distinct. Old records show that in 1869 or 1870 a party of coon hunters started out one dark night to hunt the animals, and one of their number, Bardman by name, mys teriosly disappeared. It was thought that Bardman was drowned, but it is now believed that he had "treed" a coon and then climbed up to get his game and was suddenly overcome and sank into the big cavity in the tree and was there suffocated. -L ouisville Courier-Journal. Potting Spanishi Shzarpshiooters. When the American army advanced so rapidly toward Santiago on .July 1 many Spanish sharpshooters were left behind their lines. This gave them a chance to fire from the rear, almost demoralizing the Americans and caus ing them to think for a time that their own comrades were firing into them. Most of these were eventually treed. Discovered, their finish followed at once.

TnIen K In the Uneasy Chair of State. / It is good to be ambitious in these days, but it requires a brave man to look forward to becoming the French ] President. There have been six Presi dents of France since 1871. and all but M. Casmir-Perier are dead. Each President is elected for seven years. and but one. M. Grevy. was able to complete the time. After a rule of six and a half years M. Carnot was as sassinated. while the other five all died or resigned the fatal position. M. Thiers. Marshal Mac-Mahon. Casmir Perier. and Grevy. during his see rnd term. all resigned. and Carnot and Faure died while in office. Quite a small event may be said to have turned the late 31. Faure to his rle:ti:y. Twenty years ago he was an unknown tradesman at Havre. and. kno. ing M. Coquelin of the Comedie Franeaise. used to visit the theatre whenr he journeyed up to town. One day the actor said to 3!. Faure: "Come and see me between the first and sec ond acts. and I will introduce you to sonm one who wil be interested to know vou.' The future President went and git introduced to 31.
