TALK.

The South African war and Lord
Rosebery's last speech are the chief
town topics in London. The war office
is talking Of supplying false teeth for
the soldiers. 1t is a fact that sixty
per cent of recent applicants were re-
fused on the score OF bad teeth or no
teeth at all. The dental hospitals of
London have notified the war office that
they are prepared to make good the
deficiencies, or entirely equip applicants
who are otherwise eligible. at 81 or S.
each. Chamberlain has resolved to give
no milder terms for the Beers. The
military campaign must be pushed tc
extremities until every Boer is killed or
captured. He will not follow. to quote
from the London correspondent Of the
New York Tribune, the advice OF Lord
Rosebery and allow himself to be
drawn into negotiations with Mr.. Kru-
ger. This is not because he has Il har-
dened heart, but because he considers
that everything within reason was done
by Lord Kitchener to facilitate the con
clusion of an armistiCe with General

Lord Rosebery's speech Of three weeks

than was anticipated or accepted. His

liberals as strong and important The

A strong Scotch radical has greeted me
upon my return from America with this
declaration: We have found our leader

Lord Rosebery is the only possible head
of a liberal cabinet. No alternative
government can be formed without him.

WHERE DIVERS ARE BORN.
Most EngIishmen Who Follow Thaf
Calling Come from single
village.

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 oe-
cupation seems to run in the fam
lilies" living there, for it has been fol-
lowed by generation after generation
for hundreds of years, says the CHI
cago Chronicle.
Although Leigh has but 2,100 in
habitants, il has 900 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 have so adapted themselves to
submarine conditions that they do
not suffer, even at the beginning OF
their career, from the painful sensa-
lions 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 100000
for diving and there is scarcely a
country bordering on the sea where
a man from the village cannot be
found engaged in his hereditary la
Dor. 1t is claimed that a 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
kept 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 its divers, however, cannot
compare with the amount of tribute
levied by Cornwall by means of its
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 S15,00o,000 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.
North and South Shields, on the
River Tyne, not large places, have
between them 1000 marine engineers
at sea, rolling over the waters in
ships of every nation under the sun.

THE SOUTHERN GIRL.
An Appreciation of the Young WOm-
an of the New south by One
who Knows Her.

In Woman's Home Companion Mr..
Fl. S. Garfield has an entertaining
article on "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
girls father owned, the more she felt
it a 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
which 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 that
home a home. This is a knowledge
which does not glare oppressively in
the drawing room; but when she
marries il 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 homep If some
wrestler wearied in 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 lago,
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 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.

The nervous system may be deranged
from any of number of causes. A physi-

More common causes are worry, over
work, excitement, lack of rest and dissipa-'

suits are largely the same and the remedy
that cured the one will cure the other.
