The bric-a-brac mania, as is we'll
known, sometimes leads enthusiastic
collectors into amusing pitfalls. A
French connoisseur lately entered a
Paris "curiosity shop" and saw a
beautiful Dresden vase. Asking the
price, he was told 5000, and" said
the dealer, IF I had the pair they
would be worth Sl,000." Mr.. A. offered
500 and came several days running
to renew his proposal, but in vain.
One day man came to M. AS apart
ments to show him some old china
plates, and induced him to visit his
shop in the Batignolles. To his sur
prise and delight NJ. A. saw in an OBJ
scure corner of the shop vase ex-
actly similar to the coveted Dresden,
and easily secured it for s240, with
the assurance that the pair, if forth
coming would be worth $4,000, NJ. A.
rushed off to nis first dealer and
offered him his own price for the
vase. "Ah, s!-," said he. you came
ioo late. I sold it yesterday to
dealer at the Batignolles! !"-Golden

PIT BROW GIRLS.
Women Who Handle Coal at the
English Mines.

Pit brow girls are among the most re
| markable women workers in the coun
| try. says the London Sphere. They
work as hard as men and almost like
men do they dress.
Very few pit brow girls are found il
Britain outside Lancashire, and 3O0(
of them find employment at the. Goa
mines. which are so numerous in the
busy centres Of that country. Theil
work lies on the pit brow-at the sur
face and not down below.
Once women were employed in the
coal seams, this being at the time
young children also worked in those
dark depths Of the earth; but in 1912
in the face Of great opposition from
colliery owners, an act was passed pro-
hibiting women and children from be-
ing employed below the surface in coal
mines.
At present the duties of the pit brow
lasses consist in dealing with the coal
as it comes up the shaft to the pit head.
When the cage reaches the top the
girls haul out the wagons. which con-
tain several hundredweight of coal
each, and run them on rails to a sort
of tipping machine. which shoots the
coal down below to the screen or rid
ding machine.
This is a sort Of iron slide. several
yards long. with holes through which
the coal drops at various stages into
trucks waiting beneath. 1t is ierked
about by steam power, and the coal
moves downward while the girls. sta
toned alongside. pick out the rubbish.
L is dusty work.
Among the other duties Of the pit
broo girls"-that is the Lancashire pro-
nunciation-is the leveling of the coal

and it is concluded that the mammoth,
while grazing over a meadow which
formed the thin covering Of a glacier,
fell into some crevasse that was hid
| den by the loose earth, and perished
at once.
The remains, which have now been
mounted in the Geological Museum Of
st. Petersburg, show the animal as be
died and was found. The frozen skin
has been carefully prepared, the skel-
eton and all the soft spots that could
be saved have been taken from the
skin and preserved separately. The
skin Of the head and ears, which had
been destroyed, has been copied from
the specimen obtained from Siberia
about 100 years ago, but, apart from
the head, the skin is nearly perfect.
and it was found necessary only to add
in one Of two places wool and hair
from other specimens. It is to be
noted that the tail was well pre-
served, and that it bears at the tip
the tassel Of long black hair. The
mammoth is young male and not a
large one.
The discovery and subsequent in.
spectjon of this specimen at the Zoo
logical Museum at st. Petersburg has
led the director DR.. Salensky. to make
careful scientific investigation of
this specimen. as well as to show all
that is possible of it. He studies
will be published in the series Of men,
oirs which will appear from time to
time: the first-that dealing with the
skeleton-having already been issued.

OCCUPATIONS and LONGEVITY.

With regard to the occupations which
insure longevity, it is the universal tes-
timony that clergymen reach the high
est age, being close run by gardeners
and vine-dressers Ordinary agricul-
tural laborerS, although their occupa-
ton is so largely in the open air, are
not conspicuous as long-livers, except in
France, Sweden and England. People
working with wood are longer lived than
those whose occupations are with met.
ais, and both attain higher age than
textile workers and workers in chem
ical industries. The shortest-lived peo.
pie are miners, except in England
where the superior mining regulations
and admirable sanitary arrangements
have a beneficial effect. In England
and Norway sailors live to a fal
greater age than in Germany and

watch in hand. In affairs Of commerce
he was always cool and collected. His
deals were executed with the sang
froid Of a Napoleon.
Now he was transformed. His usu-
ely imperturbable face revealed an in
tense eagerness not at all characters
tic of the man. He alternately eyed
the second hand Of his watch and the
red-painted buoys marking the course.
As one after another was passed he
laughed aloud. Then when the last
buoy faded astern he clapped his
Gands in an ecstasy Of triumph.

When Charles r. Flint stood on the
deck of his boat and saw her travel
faster than any other craft had trav-
eled before, he typifed in himself the
spirit that seems to be born in man
and especially in Americans. The de-
sire to do something a little better
than any one else has done. to move
a little faster by train or boat, in run
ming or swimming or driving, is in
herent in a great many human beings.

drops from the screen.
AS to payment. The girls start work
at 6 o'clock in the morning and finish
at 8 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and
they receive fifty cents or less a day.
Men who do the same work get 81.
Taken altogether, the pit brow lasses
are a strong, healthy lot, ranging in
age from eighteen to twenty-five.
Their dress is distinctive and pc
culiar. The working costume consists
of trousers, clogs and often enough a
