JET MINERS OF ENGLAND.
Their Prosperity to He Greatly En-
HANGED by New De ma nd of Fas lon.

Society women in this country have
revived the fashion OF wearing jet
ornaments. This is probably the re-
suit Of boom given to the black sub
stance Immediately after the death OF
the late Queen Victoria. when all Eng
land put on mourning. With the
American market open for jet the
prosperity of the inhabitants of GER
rain little fishing villages ON the north
east coast of England will be materi-
ally enhanced.
Four or five hundred rough, un.
couth Yorkshiremen, but having that
rude sagacity and shrewdness which
characterizes their race, had practi-
cally c0rnered the jet market two or
three years ago. With the death of
Queen Victoria they found themselve es
possessed of wealth which to them
represented gigantic fortunes
They had lived upon the narrow
strip of land wherein alone is found
the finest quality OF jet the world pro
duces. For years back, during a period
when fashion had ordained that II
was practically valueless, when it was
almost unstable. they had boarded It
in large quantities. While staying in
the picturesque little village Of
Stalthes pronounced Stairs, eight
miles north of Whitby. the writer
visited perhaps score of tumbled-
down shanties, the occupants OF which
contriyed to live on practically moth
ing year, and all of these had eel
lars, outhouses, and, in some instances,
half the Kitchens filled with huge
Jumps Of genuine jet.
1t was Immediately after the death
of the Prince Consort, 40 years ago,
that Queen Victoria set the fashion of
wearing jet ornaments as token Of
mourning. No English woman's toilet
at that time WAS complete without 4
jet heart and long string of neck
lace of Jet beads tapering down from
those as big as robins eggs to the size
of peas. At the time the price of jet
rose to a dollar an ounce. 1t Is now
quoted nearly as high, but at the time
the writer visited the jet fields a
carload could have been bought for
little more than the present price Of
coal

There came no response from the
old man on the couch.
'Silas. come quick. All is not well
with poor Jim
They approached the couch and
looked down upon the face The tired
look had disappeared. There WAS a
smile instead. Cousin Jim was no
longer ill-he was at rest, peacefully
at rest. And all was well with him.

will WAS read. The good and true

house at the end of the maple lane

klTTY"S PICTURE.

took my kitten yesterday
To have her picture made.
They wanted me to hold her still,
Because she was afraid
never had my picture took,
Because | always cry
When it begins to stare at me
That awful cameras eye.
My kitty wiggled all about,
And stood upon her head,
And | forgot the camera,
Until All donew they said.
But when the picture came, it was
The queerest thing. You see,
The kitten didn't show at all,
The picture was OF me!

New York, Aug. Is. - Official an
nouncement has been made at repub-
Ncan national headquarters that for
mer Attorney General Philander G.
Knox would take an active part IN the
campaign. Senator Scott, who made
the announcement, minated that
Senator Fairbanks would also make a
number OF speeches, and that Elihu
Root might be called upon by the
speakers bureau.
Republicans regard the announce
ment that Mr.. Knox is to speak as OF
the utmost Importance. Mr.. Knox is
known as brilliant orator. and it is
limited that, as he is very close to
President Roosevelt, his utterances
may be regared in a degree as those
of the president. No definite an
nouncement was made as to the num-
Der OF speeches Mr.. Knox will make.
but it was ascertained that two have
been arranged already. One OF these
will be delivered in Pennsylvania.
Senator Scott said he could not state
at present where Mr.. Knox's second
speech would be delivered.

FOR WOMEN WORKERS
WHO SIT ALL DAY.

Owing to our wrong conditions there.
are hundreds of good and pretty girls
who instead of having the natural lie
they ought to have are condemned to
sit in an office doing tipping or some
other similar occupation. Dozens OF
them become sadly anaemic and need =
rest they cannot have. The only thing
is to mitigate the evils, and this to g.
certain extent may be done by proper
and very simple exercises that need not
be done in a gymnasium or under q
professor claiming to have invented 9
special system. Try and find time to
do these exercises in the morning be-
fore you have finished dressing. You
will find they will act as a corrective
to the constant sitting. In doing them
keep your head well up, your chest for-
ward and your waist in. Always have
the window open for these exercises.
First. place the hands on the hips, with
the fingers in front and the thumbs be-
hind. Close the heels and turn the feet
out. Thus ready, raise the heels as
high as possible. then let the heels SINK.
Repeat this movement ten times.
Next place the hands on the hips.
then bend the head backward slowly
and raise 1t UP again. Repeat THIS ten
times.
Next hands on the hips, keep the
heels together. turn the feet well out.
Keep the heels on the ground and lit
the feet as high as possible. one at .
time, counting to ten.
Next, hands on hips. Bring one knee
up as high as you can, then back into.
position, then the other knee up equal
ly high Repeat this movement first
slowly, then quickly, counting to
twelve.
Next lift arms sideways to the Shouts
der line and at the same time bend
head back. Let the arms sink down to
the side and raise the head. During
the lifting breathe in deeply. during the
sinking breathe out. Repeat this move
ment four times. e

social entertainments. So the brave
northern girl earned her way as she
went. After being graduated from the
school of oratory an episode occurred
in her life which shows the conscien-
tiousness and minute thoroughness of
tie woman She wished to be able to
delineate insanity on the stage. How
could a young dramatic student learn
to do that? This was how Vienna
Swanston accomplished 1T: Again she
had no money lack probably common
to the majority of gifted girls who be-
come women who achieve. She obtain
ed a place as attendant in New Erg
land insane asylum and there stayed
and worked and studied till she had
learned what she longed to know--how
crazy people act day by day-that she
might in turn enact on the stage their
drama.
After that she became an actress,
and a successful one. 1t was the life
she loved, and she was ready for It..
She had naturally the sweet voice of
the Scandinavian, and the course of
study in the school of oratory had de-
veloped an exquisitely clear and cor
rect enunciation.
For number of years Velma Swan
ston followed her professional calling;
then she was married to Henry How
ard. After her marriage she left the
stage for considerable time. Mean
time, however. she was studying and
thinking, especially studying Ibsen and
thinking over his dramas. Then she
gave readings from them and lectures
on them.
Last summer she went back to Swe-
den and Norway to make local studies.
At Christiania she saw the master
himself. She says he is a shy little
man with a leonine head, this great
retrospective, retrospective Scandfna-
Wan. Miss Swanston says Ibsen is the
writer who can interpret the inner life
of woman. Other men depict women
according to the stereotyped mascu
line ideal of women; Ibsen paints them
as they are because he reads their
souls. To act the Ibsen drama success
fully Velma Swanston says conven-
tional stage methods must be abandon
ed with Ibsen the old ways of act
ing don't go. The thought is the
thing"
In Sweden. however. Miss Swanston
found that the most popular Scandina
Wan writer of fiction is neither lbsen
nor Bjornson. but woInan-Sema
Lagerlof-a greater than Frederika
Bremen because her intelligence and
opportunity are wider. Like Miss Bre
mer, Selma Lagerlof is a single wo-
man, now some sixty years of age.
She is woman of fine. imposing ply
sique, with gray hair and a noble
kindly face. She is greatly beloved in
Sweden and gets from her writings an
income of $4,000 a year, which is more
than that Of Ibsen and Bjornson both
put together.
At Stockholm Velma Swanston saw
and shook hands with gallant Oscar
H.. the citizen king of Sweden and
Norway a king more democratic than
the president of the United States,
monarch who walks alone and unat-
tended through the streets like COM
mon man, who goes to concerts with
his people in the parks and stands
with his hat off when the national airs
are played.
Finally, the Swedish Amercan wo-
man In search Of local coloring for the
Interpretation of lbsen dramas was
