SILVER ORNAMENTS.


arowIng Popularity of the Very Pretty
Genoese Filagree Work.
Some of the most popular jewelry or
naments that are now worn by ladies
are made of silver. The work is very

tilagree work and is made in Genoa,
Italy. 1t is becoming so popular that
the demand exceeds the supply. This

and it is a very tedious operation. Only
very fine silver wire is used in its CON
structiou, and this is twisted up and
fastened so that it resembles fine net
or lace work. The Genoese are very
expert in the manufacture, and are the
only people who can manufacture these
goods. They work the silver up to
resemble butterflies, lilies, lace bows
and flowers of all descriptions for head
ornaments. Then they have necklets,
lace pins, bracelets and all other kinds
of ornaments. The prices of each piece
vary from one dollar to ten dollars.
Although the workmanship looks so

it becomes furnished can easily be

SUICIDE IN RUSSIA.


Startling Increase in the Number of Sui
cides and Insane Persons.
The Nor0Stj publishes some statistics

Petersburg having more than doubled

the development of pessimism as much
as to want In the ten years from
1903 to 1913 the number of suicides in
Russia was at the rate of II to every
million inhabitants, whereas it is now
20 per million; while in st. Petersburg
itself there are 206 suicides per every
million inhabitants, as against 402 in
Paris, 10 in Berlin and 81 in London
1t is only within the last 20 years that
suicides have been so numerous in St.
Petersburg, as in 1864 the total was
only about 80 per annum. Ten years
later the total had just doubled,
the increase in the population being
only per cent, while the increase in
the number of suicides was at the rate
of 76 per cent. In the next 10 years
the price of meat and of house rent had
risen about 80 per cent, while the num-
Der of suicides had increased at the
rate of 800 per cent The increase in
the number of the insane has not kept
pace with that of the suicides, though
it is no less than 80 per cent. CLASH

NORWEGIAN HOSPITALITY.
Kindness That Is Refreshingly Open.
Handed, Unaffected and Generous.

Kindness That Is Refreshingly Open
Handed, Unaffected and Generous.
In no land is hospitality more open
handed and more unaffected than in
Norway, and though these features are
naturally becoming blunted along the
beaten lines of travel, the genuine
goodness of heart, fine "gentlemanly'
feeling and entire absence of that
sordidness which is often seen even in
primitive regions can not fail to strike
an unprejudiced observer. Nor is
etiquette ignored by even the rudest OF
the people. In the cities the stranger
is apt to make many plumbers. In the
country, however, this is not less
marked, though perhaps the visitor
will be less conscious of its presence.
One of the peculiarities of the Nor.
wegian farmer is that, when visiting q
friend, he must ignore all the prepar,
| ations made for his entertainment. He
will see the coffee roasted, and the cups
set out, and then, just when the good
wife is about to offer him her hospi
taiity, he gets up, bids the family good
by, and is only persuaded to re-
main after some resistance. Every cup
must be filled to overlooking, otherwise
the host would be thought stingy.
When milk, brandy OF beer is offered
the guest invariably begs that it will
not ''be wasted on him, and then after
emptying the cup declares that ''it is
too much" going through the same
formalities, it may be. three or four
times. In the farm-houses, or upland
''saeters, the guest is left to eat alone,
silver forks and spoons being often
substituted for the carved wooden ones
used by the family, and a fine white
cloth for the bare board which serves
well enough on ordinary occasions.
To punctilious guest this may not be
a drawback, for at the family table. as,

PLAY-WRITING.
Dion Boucicault Reveals the Secrets of His
Literary Workshop.

Literary Workshop.
A drama is composed of a series OF
scenes, each leading to the next, for
continuity is the soul of interest. In
any other works of fiction the novelist
or the poet can arrest the action, to
moralize or to develop. He may even
retrograde, and take his reader back;
but the dramatist must go on, for he
represents life as it flows-life in action,
not in description. In shaping his
work it is necessary that no scene shall
be longer than the suffering requires
| that is, when an incident inflicts suf-
| fering on the characters he must not
prolong such scene beyond the natu-
raj amount of suffering which the
characters would endure, nor fall short
| of what is due. If the novelist offends
in this way the reader may skip, but
if a dramatist does so the spectator
yawns or gets impatient. The dramat-
| list first settles on a good subject. The
| plot is the treatment of the subject
| Thus, Sheridan thought of a rich old
uncle returning from India with large
fortune, and DESTROYS of sharing it be-
tween his nephews. He conceals his
name and introduces himself as poor
suppliant to enable him to interview
their characters. Here we have Sir
Oliver Surface, Charles and Joseph.
| This is the vertebral column of the
"School for Scandal from it spring
Sir Peter and Lady Teazle, They be-
long to the plot, not to the subject
The other characters are likewise pro-
duced by the requirement of the action.
1t is frequently the case that these col
lateral characters prove the most
prominent, growing into prominence
under the poets hand, as Shylock grew
under the hand of Shakespeare, who
surely intended Portia and her lovers
10 hold the prominent interest.
If the dramatist, before ne commences
to write, shall carry in his mind the
work until it has assumed a shape, and
all its parts appear clear from begin
ming to end, he may feel sure his pen
will not mislead or run away with him.
Yet the shape should be so vaguely
thrown mas Il study in charcoal to
the painter-that he is not cribbed and
confined within it, but his Imagination
is free during his production of work
to improve or change its details in any
way that may not destroy or deform
its shape. Indeed, during rehearsal,
when the play comes visibly before the
dramatist, he may pull his work to
pieces and change its attitude as a
sculptor remodels his clay figure.
Nevertheless, each dramatist has his
own method of work-none work alike.
For my own part, carry subject for a
long time in mind before accepting it.
If the mind does not tire of it, if it re-
mains green and fresh, there is usually
some life in it. When it is nodded
into shape | commence to write, and
the production of three or a five act
play takes from ten to twenty days.
For there are but twenty-five hundred
lines in play of usual length. and one
