.A-tooiTt Women. It is hardly possible, says the Lady's j Pictorial, to realise that the Queen has ' a great-grandchild who is almost of ' marriageable age. We hear so little of ! the eldest daughjer of the Empress ' Frederick that she seems to be the least known member of the Eoyal Family, and it is small wonder, therefore, that her daughter has baen growing up unnoticed, so to say, by English people. Yet the Princess Feodore of Saxe-Mein-ingen is Her Majesty's first greatgrandchild, and iray confer upon her illustrious forbear the dignity of great-great-grandmotherhood within a year or two. She is a pretty girl with great musical abilities, and, as it is probable that she will be betrothed next year, Queen Victoria may yet see a fourth generation of her d ascendants. "In France she was robbed by highwaymen; while witnessing the battle between the Japs and. Chinese in Gasan she was shot in the arm ; a cyclist ran over her in California, and a five weeks' stay in the hospital was the result ; while on another occasion, through a bad fall, she was compelled to ride 1175 miles with a broken arm," This is the bare outline, borrowed; from the Morning Leader, of .the experiences of Miss Annie Londonderry, who t left Boston in June, 1894, having undertaken to return to that city with 5000 dollars without having obtained them by begging. To achieve this end she rode 28,0(30 miles on a bicycle in " orthodox knickers." Kitty of Coleraine is not in it with Annie Londonderry. The University of St Andrew's is building a hall of residence for, its women students on the lines of Girtpn and Newuham at Cambridge and tfie Oxford halls for women. ' Miss Louisa Innes Lumsden (classical honors, Gorton, and first head-mistress of St Leonard's School, St Andrew's) has been appointed warden. There will pc fifteen scholarships, all tenable for thr.ee years, ranging in value from £40 to £15, open to competition among the women students of the university. The " revolt of daughters " appears ( to be, a Chinese institution, and to meet the case the Prefect of Kwang Chau-jfu has issued an .edict suppressing ladies' clubsl The edict says: — "Women's clubs are hereby prohibited. It is j a well-known fact that in the districts I herein named a great part of the female^ population has a horror of matrimony 1 / in consequence whereof our young i people who are married do remain from j their husbands a whole year at a tixne, I passing their' existence with parenis, ; female friends, or iv clubs. Should the man demand his wife back by force she 1 kills herself, and this causes grumbling i against him from the parents and friends 'of the deceased. So that a man must , often live without his wife. I, therer, fore, order these clubs, to be, closed, ai^d that the married woman go back to her husband within the space of one month. Contumacious wives will be taken back to their husbands by the policeman." > In the matter of ordained womqn America leads. The denominations in which they abound are the., Baptist, Congregational, Universalist, Unitarian, and Methodist. According to recent statistics they number 1,235. In l&il there were 720, so that within the last four years there has been a marked ncrease. 1 Our better halves say they could npt keep house without Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is 'used in more than half the homes in Leeds. This shows the esteem in which that remedy is held where it has been sold for years and is well known. Mothers have, learned that there is nothing so good for colds, croup, and whooping cough,' that it cures .these ailments quickly and permanently, and that it is pleasant and safe for children to take.
