A spinster lady of fortune who for the last thirty-nine years has led. a most extraordinary life diedlast week at Teignmouth. Devonshire, England. One evening in the year 1858. being then in her thirty-eighth year, and in perfect health she retired to rest as usual. The following morning she re- marked that bed was the most tromfort- able place in the world. and announced 'her intention of remaining there [or the rest other natural life. And she did. From that day until the day upon .which she was placed in her coffin last ais duc.ks game. peaches: pork, and a]! things indigestible. and taking her cof- H99. and liqueprsfi pegularljy all her 'life. Doctors visited her. but she had no ‘nefid of their prescriptions, and it was 'only a few monthS'ago that the leffects iof her extraordinary manner oflife be- gun to be visible. Then she. gradually hrcke up. The medical men whomade a post-mortem examination of her re- ‘muins found that her heart and lungs Iwere free from disease, so that had :she led an ordinary existence she would lin all probability have lived for an- }other tenor fifteen years. At her 'death, at the age of 77, she weighed lnearly 17 stone. _and the coffin in_whi<_:h eek she never got up again. although remaining to within a. few months of her death in the best of heaith. For two years ahe lay in an upstairs room; but for the last. thirty-seven her bed went placed on the ground floor, commanding the entrance to the heuse and grounds.

The first and the only woman's the» atre of which the world has ever known is being constructed in Paris. The 9130‘“ of site is adjoining the ladies’ club known as the Cercle Pigalle. near Mont- martre. In France it will be the "The- atre Feministe," which means a theatre of women only. There is only one weak spot in this armor of femininity, and that is the fact that the manager is to be a man. but the ladies who are the soul of the enterprise say he will not count, as, like the rest of his sex, he will merely be their slave. Au serieux, though, it is to be a gen- uine place for women. The White The- atre, where only plays of absolute pur- ity were to be tolerated, was the first entrance of woman into the manageri- cal capacity. This victory gave such con- fidence to the women that they were determined to star their own ideas ex- clusively, and the result is the Theatre Feministe. The establishment is not to be limited. No pent up France will con- fine its powers, and the ladies of every country will be at liberty to air their grievances, assert their privileges and defend their interests through the me- dium of the drama or the opera. For a long time the question of man- agement was discussed pro and con by the members of the club which had the Project in hand. Opinion was divided. mew. Finafiy. it was decided that if a man could be found who would face the prospect he should b0 angaqodpq the not as to the ability of woman to take entire charge of every detail, but as to whether it.

Aside from the manager. the only con- dition under which men can hope to obtain a little scrap of the success which this theatre. according to its pro- jections. is sure to attain is to write plays at musical compositions which will bear on the subject of woman's rights. The authors of these efforts may come from any part of the world they wish to. and their nationality will be considered no bar. The ladies say that the men will be criticised in that me spirit of fairness in which awo- man alrways considers her own sex. and therefore they may be sure of absolute justice. Another committee of the directors bears the title of Committee of Plays. Its duty is to pass on all plays WhICh are presented to it. sift the wheat from the chaff. and then submit its selection to the full Board of Directors for ap- proval. Each play is to be read through to the board. and then. to insure ao- ceptance. the authoress. or possibly the author. must incorporate all sugges- tions of the board.

The circu- lars or advance announcements of the theatre and its purposes do not hear :he name of t he manager, but state that .he theatre is under the sole control of the Board of Directors. composed en- tirely of women. They further state that only plays treating of women's rights will be presented, unless some specially good play by a woman re- oeives the indorse'ment of the commit- Mme. Loevy. who will direct the for- eign department of the new theatre. is very decxded in her statements as to the purpose and probable result of the enterprise. Heretofore. she says. the fact that a play was written by a. woman has been sufficient in most in- stances to insure its failure. Now this sort of thing 18 to end. Women are to have the precedence. in at least one theatre. and they are sufficiently for- tunate to secure any place at all. Did Slumpy make much of o. succeu u g nigger? tee. No; thE some old story.

The Brit- ish people are so accustomed to seer.- gulars marching through their street. that the sight does not inspire their enthusiasm. and. therefore. in some instances the Canadian contingent was allowed to pass in silence. while the other colonials. in their picturesque uniforms. which could not be mis- taken. were wildly cheered. Against this must be placed the gratifying (act that the appearance and discipline of the Canadian militia men were such that no difference could be detected between them and the trained soldiers of the regular army. It is not by accident. however. that this similarity between the uniforms of our militia and those at the regulars has come about. The militia. of tuned; are the only colonial troops that have ever fought against a civnlized enemy side by side with British regulars.

There are altogether 71 bat- talions. embracing 469 companies of militia infantry. in Canada who wear the scarlet uniform. and 21 battalions. embracing 149 companies of riflemen that wear the green uniform of that corps. According to the present strength of the Canadian companies, the scarlet- coated infantry number 21870 officers and men, and the riflemen. 6,705. The British army has only twelve batta- lions of regular riflemen who wear the green uniform. so that the scarlet coats greatly predominate in that splendid army. The scarlet tunic is a uniform that is greatly respected by foreign nations. and which the British people are not likely to exchange for any other. a matber of convenience and Becauae no other uniforms were available. has been adopted by the Government of Canada. and is likely to be continued for an indefinite pexjiqd.

Nor is there an doubt that the moral effect of the mi itia of wear- ing the uniform of the regulars. and feeling that they were as one with them would be considerable.
