TT was at the Naturalists' Congress in St.
 Petersburg. For an hour and half Ellie ! Metchnikoff had entertained an audience largely composed of women psychologists biol ogists and doctors of medicine and philosophy. At the close they pressed about him with cling ing enthusiasm, and almost in voice ex- claimed: "Oh professor, what is your opinioS of the feministic movement?"
 The professor looked gravey at the expectant faces surrounding him, sighed and turned away. But, professor, you must tell us. We insist" and they cast meaning glances at one another.

 "Yes, yes," they retorted, 'but you must tell Jus. We want your personal opinion.'
 "Very well, dear ladies'" he began softly, "Je suis chevalier I obey but only on con dition,' anG his voice grew stronger, "that you do not interrupt me. Here is my idea: Your complaint, as I understand it, is that man has excluded woman from all higher intellectual occupation by unnatural means, so that her mind has been atrophied, her capabilities blunted, her talents stagnant You would remedy all this by being made mans equal in politics.

 But do you really need this political equality in order to attain this supremacy? Has the downtrodden among man ever needed it?

 Metchnikoff paused and smiled. His auditors exchanged few constrained whispers. After moment he continued What brutal slave owner at any time forbade women to beautify canvas with satisfying hues and lines depicting life or nature?

The Kaiser's War Kitchen

TT is interesting to know that while
 the Kaiser follows the varying
 fortunes of the German army he need never go hungry or miss any of the comforts of home.
 Conspicuous among the Kaiser's war equipment is motor field kitchen and splendid mess tent in which he and his staff can eat in comfort at all times.
 The motor kitchen is as completely equipped as the kitchen of million aires home Every kind of dish, from soup to ice cream, can be pre- pared in it. The cooking goes on without interruption while the ma chine is in motion and the battle is going on. Thus His Majesty is able to follow his army to the front when a rapid advance has reduced the ordinary transport of provisions to the minimum. Even if the army were in retreat the Kaiser would be able to eat in comfort as he hurried along. The kitchen can serve a nine course dinner.

 The illustrations will serve to show the positions assumed by the danc- CTS in connection with the four steps described.
 The lulu fado is essentially a ball. room dance, as distinguished from the stage dances which 50 many amateurs strive vainly to initiate.
 As the lulu fado is danced in the rural districts of Portugal and parts of South America 1t brings about changes of partners with all the in- evitability of the game of progressive euchre. The ladies practise coquetry and the gentlemen gallantry to their hearts content.
 The finger-snapping and hand clapping, introduced as explained in the above directions for the dance, are signals made by each lady and gentleman-invitation and chal- lenges to a change of partners. Each time at this stage of the dance every dancer gains a partner with whom he or she has not previously gone through the figures.
 Thus, by the time the dance Is ended, every lady on the floor has danced with every gentleman and re. turned to his or her original partner.

By Margaret Hawkesworth.

"H HE latest European dance,
 which, it is believed, will
 @ rival the fox trot in popularity here this coming season, is the lulu fado.
 Over in Paris, where it was intro duced last season by Ducke. the pro fessional dancer, it found instant favor, and the American colony went wild over it.
 It is to be introduced in this coun- try by Miss Margaret Hawkesworth and MT. Durant, the popular society dancers, who posed especially for the illustrations shown on this page.
 The lulu fado dance Is named after the Lulu Fado.' Portuguese composition, and it can be danced only to that particular music, a fact which may initiate to some extent against it's vogue here But the dance is so simple and so satisfying that it is doubtful whether its limitations in the respect noted will hurt it very much
 For the benefit of readers of this newspaper Miss Hawkes. orth and MT. Durant have worked out the fol. lowing explanation of the lulu fado so that it may, in connection with the photographs, enable any one to master the steps.
 There are only four steps in the new dance, but they may be varied in order to suit the fancy of the dancers in so far as the changes do not conflict with the music, and in that way the dance may be kept up almost indefinitely.
 The first step is practically a syncopation of the one step. It must be danced very smoothly. It starts with two slow steps, followed by three fast ones, to the time 1, 2; l, 2, 8, the lady walking back. These steps are repeated seven or eight times in measure with the music.
 At certain point the music changes and gives the signal for change to the second step. which may be called the pivot. In this step the

MINE WORKERS IN
NOTABLE ACTION
Question Raised as to the Meaning
of the Term Five Years Ex-
perience in Mines

Steps TO secure a decision on a point
of vital interest to mine workers
throughout the whole anthracite field
were taken in the Dauphin county
court yesterday when the Schuylkill
Mine Workers began action to re-
strain issuance of certificates of eligi-
bility to act as foremen of men who
had not had experience as actual dig
gers of coal. The case was presented
by James b. Reilly and J. j. Mona
CHAN, of Pottsville, for the mine work.
ers. and ex-Judge w. l.. Shay, of
Pottsville, representing individuals,
while Deputy Attorney General j. f.
3. Cunningham, looked after the
Testimony was given showing that
two men. returned by d miners ex-
amining board as eligible for mine
foremen's certiti a tes had never been
employed in the cutting of coal and
that others had been employed but a
short time in that branch of work
about mines. The testimony was given
IN the mandamus proceeding brought
against the State chief of mines to re-
strain issuance of certificates of
eligibility to a number of men rec
commended by the boards.
Involved in the action is the ques-
tion whether the term five years eX-
perience as a miner means five years
d
years in actual getting out of coal
from the vein. For years it has been
contended that men were returned as
competent to act mine foremen or
assistant foremen who did not pos
sess qualifications for those positions
and some months ago the Mine Work
ers' Union brought suit, mentioning
names of men whom it was declared
were not experienced in digging coal
Some of these witnesses were heard
and mine inspectors and others testi-
fled as to the understanding of the
term miner in the coal regions. saying
that ii meant the man who gets out
the coal, not men employed in driving,
loading or other branches of mine
work.
The attorney generals department
has held in two decisions that the five
years practical experience meant en-
ployment about a mine, not necessar-
lily that man had to be a digger of
coal for that period.
Argument will be heard October IL.
