BEECHAM'S PILLS
"MOTHER QE DHE KING'S CHAMPION.
AN ANCIENT FEUDAL OFFICE. The death has occurred at Scrivelsby Court, Lincolnshire, of Mrs. Drmoke, mother of Mr. Frank Seaman Dymoke, the present holder of the ancient hereditary title of King's Champion.
Before her marriage, in 1881, to Mr. F.S. Dymoke, who died in 1893, she was Miss Mary Ann Follerfan. Although ia ker ninety-second year, she retained all her faculties till within a few weeks of her death.
The office of King's Champion," which is peculiar to England, hu its origin far back in feudal times, The function of the champion, when the full ceremonial of th Coronation was performed, was to ride, tad in complete armour, into Westminster Hall during the Coronation banquet and to challenge to single combat any who should impugn the King's right to the Throne. History tells of no occasion on which the challenge was accepted.

A DOLLAR EACH FOR HISI CHILDREN.
REPROACHES FROM THE GRAVE.
The late Mr. Park Benjamin, the lawyer, author, and father-in-law of the inte Eprise Caruso,, the tenor, describing his children as parasites, has cut off all Sve with a delisr onch in a will, for which probate was recently asked.

The will also provides that the bulk of the estate, amounting to about £100,000, shall go to his adapted daughter, "Mis Anna Bolchi, formerly the governess of Mr. Benjamin's daughter Dorothy, now Mr Caruso.
Mr. Benjamin at the time refused to sanction the marriage.
Mr. Benjamin's will states that he has mada no further bequests to his children

NO BABIES, NO VOTE.
-it
Premier Staboulisy of Bulguria, in discussing the question of extension of the elective Tranchise to the women of his country, advances some novel ideas as to the qualifications to be demanded of such women us seck the right to vote. In other lands there have been restrictions that set up the ownership of property as a pre- requisite to enrollment among the electors. Even in the United States some Common- wealth onc restricted the voters' list to the names of those who were possessed of a "freehold" or other property. In that country many of the most ind-fatigable Fagitators for votes for women" through. the long period of campaigning for "wo- men's rights" were spinsters or childless“ matrons.
tamboulisky's decree relating to voting qualifentions fires no property ownership qualification and gives no hope to the spinsters, that section of the population that in other nations has been the major element

His motto in the matter of extension of the franchise is, "No work and no babies, no rete." Similar restrictions in England and the United States would bar from the
on
ballot many of the women whose names bave been most illustrious among the eancipators of the sex. Bulgaria thus appears to be taking a position unique in dealing with the among pationa
The same political status of women. Premier who insists limiting the franchise for women to those engaged in productive labour and those who are the anthers of the race appointed a woman to a high diplomatic post in Washington the first woman to be named for auch a responsible position in an embassy to this country-ad this young WORD, O sigually honoured, is not of the people who labour in industrial or agricultural pursuits. She is rather to be classed as aa aristocrat than as a peasant of in-. dustrial wage-worker.

In order to render introduction un- necessary, it is suggested, says a home paper, that the scientists who attend the meetings of the British Association at Full this year should be numbered." This is a long-needed innovation. It ought to b adopted at all social gatherings. Think
of the times that you have been introduced

It is understood that the children will contest the will on the ground that their father was unduly influenced by Miss Bolchi.
