These girls are muscular, very strong

cheerful. virtuous. and satisfied with
th,,ir condition in life. In fact. 1t is
said that they view with alarm the
rumor that their services are to be
dispensed with at the mines. SO that
the supply of household servants in
merry England may be increased.
They wear their trousers with no
show of ostentation and with absolute
ly no thought that in another coun-
try, our own, for example. they might
be considered new women" They
are not clamoring for rights" They
are simply adopting sensible method
of rendering their work easier, and
that they have succeeded admirably Is
evidenced by the fact that the custom
has been in vogue for many years.

HIS HOME A TOMB.
How an Eccentric New York Man Guards
His wife's Rody

His wife's Body.
Jonathan Reed, who passes the
greater part of his leisure time guard
ing the tomb of his wife in the Ever
greens cemetery, Brooklyn has been
requested by the cemetery authorities
not to admit so many visitors to the
vault as he has been in the habit of
doing, says an exchange. The vault
was built according to Mr.. Reeds own
ideas after the death of his wife, over
three years ago. The interior of the
vault is ten feet wide, ten feet high
and thirteen feet long. The vestibule
is hung With Japanese bead portieres
and the walls are adorned with por-
traits and bric-a-brac gathered by Mr..
and Mrs. Reed during their European
travels. There are two metallic collins.
One is Theoretically sealed and con-
tains the body of Mr., Reeds wife. The
other awaits Mr.. Reeds body. They
are the very best that could be made"

authorities have asked me not to admit
the public to the vault. 1t has been
said that I have removed the lid of
the coffin and allowed people to see my

Sometimes. when l have been alone in

Seeing a Rose Grow.

An ingenious Frenchman has sug-
gested n way in which rose, or other
| flower, could be caused to appear grow
ing and unfolding in the presence of a
roomful of spectators. He proposes to
employ the knematoscope, magic
lantern so arranged as to produce NOV
Ing figures on a screen by means OF
series of photographs of living OBJ
jects, each successive photograph hav-
ing been taken only a small fraction of
second later than its immediate pre-
decessor. But for the proposed new ap-
plication of this instrument the pho
tographs need not be made so near to-
gether, since they are to represent
changes which require several months
for their development. Beginning with
the first appearance of the bud, several
thousand photographs of growing
rose are to be taken, just near enough
together so the change of form in flower
is almost imperceptible, until 1t has
attained its complete bloom, and then
has faded and fallen to pieces. These
photographs, being passed as trans
parencies. in rapid succession, through
the kinematoscope, there would appear
upon the screen the figure of a rose Wis
IDLY budding, growing, opening, spread
ing its petals. and finally shrivelling
and dying, the whole process occupying
but few minutes. Many other appli-
cations of this principle to the repre-
sentation of growing objects are sug-
pested

For Stamp Collectors.

Collectors in the west are warned
against an old-time philatelist who is
going about offering specimen" sets
of the United States stamps at very
low prices. Several of these sets have
been sent for examination, and they
prove to be cardboard proofs rubbed
down with pumicestone. gummed and
perforated. The word specimen" in.
stead of being printed. was then ap-
piled, by means of a rubber stamp, In
aniline ink. These are very dangerous
frauds, as few young collectors are ia
miliar with the genuine originals. I'm
used United States stamps and "speci-
men" sets are always salable in New
York city at fair prices. When anyone
offers these stamps at bargain count
er" rates it is safe to say that there is
something wrong in the transaction.
The Nova Scotia find" made a very
little furry in this country, but in
England it has developed into first
class sensation. The leading dealers
are involved, and letters to one an
other and to the philatelic press
abound but, curious to say, no def
mite information is given. The facts
seem to be that one large dealer was
offered sets at sixty-two cents. and
several weeks later another large
dealer advertised himself as the sole
agent for the sale of these stamps. and
fixed six dollars as the price of the set.
In the absence of any statement as to
the true quality of each of the stamps,
collectors refuse to buy except at very
low prices.-Harper's Round Table.
