WHERE DIVERS ARE BORN.
Host Enslishmen Who Follow That
CalIiiis Come from q single

The village of Leigh, at the mouth
of the Thames river, supplies more
marine divers than all the rest OF the
United Kingdom combined. : The oc-
cupation seems to run IN the fam
lies, living there, for it has been fol-
lowed eby generation after generation
for hundreds of years, says the Chi
cago Chronicle
Although Leigh has but 2,100o inc
habitants. it has 600 of its sons en-
gagged in working beneath the sea,
scattered all over the world. Being
Brought up from early youth, from
father to son, to the business of div
ing, the men of Leigh have remark
ably developed lungs and ear drums,
which havesso adapted themselves to
submarine conditions that they do
not suffer, even at the beginning OF
their career, from the painful sensa-
tons which assail other men when
they first go down in diving suits.
The heart action and everything else
seems to be adjusted to diving pur-
poses with this race of people.
The world pays to the men :. of
Leigh every year the sum of S7QO, 200
for diving and there is scarcely q
country bordering on the sea where
a man from the village cannot be
found engaged in his hereditary Ia
bor.o 1t is claimed that Leigh man
can stand 60 per cent. more of this
trying work than other men because
Of his peculiarly developed physique.
After a man of Leigh has made lit
tie competence he returns to his ma
tive village to settle down and die.
The divers families intermarry and
SO the breed of submarine workers is
kepto up. The Leigh people claim that
they control the wages for diving all
over the world and that the village
furnishes eight-tenths of the divers
of the world.
The amount which the world pays
Leigh for it's divers, however, cannot
compare with the amount of tribute
levied by Cornwall by means of it's
miners. At the last account there
were 1900 miners from Cornwall
working in foreign mines and draw
ing an estimated wage bill from the
nations of the earth of SIS, 600, 600 a
year. Nearly all these 1900 miners
came from the two parishes of Red
ruth and Bodmin, little places with
a small population of stay-at-homes
There are 1000 of these Cornish min
ers in the United States.

AN oLD-EAsHronED WOMAN.

No clever, brilliant thinker, she,
With college record and degree,
She has not known the paths of fame,
The world has never heard her name,
She walks in old, long-trodden ways,
The valleys of the yesterdays.
Home is her kingdom, love her DOVER
She seeks no other wand or power
To make home sweet, bring heaven near,
To win a smile and wipe tear,
And do her duty day by day.
In her own quiet place and way. q
Around her childish hearts are twined,s
AS round some reverend saint enshrined,
And following hers the childish feet
Are led to ideals true and sweet,
And find all purity and good
In her divinest motherhood
She keeps her faith unshadowed still
God rules the world in good and i'll;
Men in her creed are brave and true,
And women pure as pearls of dew,
And life for her is high and grand,
BY work and glad endeavor spanped
This sad old earth's a brighter place
All for the sunshine of her face;
Her very smile a blessing throws e
And hearts are happier where she goes,
gentle, clear-eyed messenger,
TO whisper love-thank God for heri

THE SOUTHERN GIRL.
An Appreciation of the Young wom-
an of the New South by One
Who Knows Her. Q

g In Woman's Home Companion Mr.
III. S. Garfield has an entertaining
article son ''The Southern Girl of Yes
terday and To-day" He compares the
girl of the south with the girl OF the
west and north and finds much in the
formers favor. He says:
"In former days the more slaves a
girls father owned, the more she felt
it requirement. to become an ac-
complished housewife. These recon-
dite, arts, of which we men pierce not
the mysteries and see only the re-
suits, are preserved to-day down
South and if there is one quality
whics more than another endears a
southern girl to her worshipers it is
her love of home, her pride in her
home and her ability to make tina
home home. This is a knowledge
which does not glare oppressively in
the drawing. room; but when She
marries it becomes more and more
golden year by year. The young
southern mother happily married
does not think her life restricted be-
! cause that life is homelife. She does
not feel .cabined, cribbed, confined
She enjoys brief excursions into the
outside world; but she tires readily,
and on the return journey her eyes
light up as the car-wheels whir under
her, and she thinks, Each revolution
is. that much nearer homei' If some
wrestler weafied lin the arena of
earth's activities, some cynic sickened
with this deep disease of life,' should
seek her in her peaceful fastness,
and, borrowing from sardonic Iago,
tell her that her mission is to 'suckle
fools and chronicle small beer she
would smile superior. She knows
better. Home is home-in summer
when the wide fields stir not in the
swooning moons; in autumn when
hillside and valley blaze in a riot of
hue; in winter when the mild air. has
a. tang that merely hints of snow in
the far country whence the wild
goose beats his way with steady
wing; in springtime when she sees
the fat soil rise and roll in smooth,
dark waves back from the pillow.
