The dancing girl, dressed in the or
binary costume of the woman of the
people, a bodice and a very short sarri,
carries on her head a wicker wheel of
tolerably large diameter, placed in a
perfectly horizontal manner on the top
of the crown, and around this wheel
threads are attached at equal distances,
provided at the extremities with a slip
knot, which is kept open by means of a
glass bead. The dBncing girl advances
towards the spectators, holding a bas-
ket filled with eggs, which she hands
to us, so that we may verify that they
are real eggs and not an imitation. The
music strikes up a m%Onotonous and
jerking measure, and the dancer begins
turning herself around with great ra-
pidity. Then Selling an egg, she in
serts it in one of the slip-knots, and
with a sharp movement jerks it so as
to tighten the knot. By means Of the
centrifugal force produced by the ra-
pidity of the dancers circular move
ment, the thread holding the egg is
stretched out so that the egg is placed
in a straight line with the prolonga-
tion of the corresponding spoke of the
wheel. One after the other the eggs
are thrown into the slip-knots, and
they soon form a horizontal aureola
round the head of the dancing girl. At
this point the dance becomes more and
more rapid, and the features of the dan
Ger can with difficulty be distinguished.
1t is a critical moment; the least false
step, the slightest stoppage, and the
eggs will be smashed one against ano-
ther. But now. how is the dance to be
interruptedp How is it to be stopped ?
There is only one way, and that is by
Withdrawing the eggs in the same man
ner in which they had been fixed
there, and in spite of all appearances to
the contrary, this last operation is the
more delicate of the two. The dancer
must, with one single clear and precise
movement seize the egg and craw it
towards her; it is evident that, if the
hand were ~carelessly to place itself
within the circle, it would suffice for it
to touch n of the threads only for the
general harmony to be suddenly bro
ken. At last all the eggs are success

GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY.

Softly, oh! softly, the years have swept by
thee
Touching thee lightly with tenderest cArei
Sorrow and care did they often bring nigh thee
Yet they have left thee but beauty to wear.
Growing old gracefully,
Graceful and fair.
Far from the storms that are flashing the
~[ocesn;l
Nearer each day TO the pleasant home light;
Far from the waves that are big with commo-
ton,
Under full sail and the harbor in sight!
Growing old %cheerfully.
Cheerful and bright.
Past all the winds that we're adverse and chill
ing;
Past all the islands that lured thee 10 rest;
Past all the currents that wooed thee unwilling
Far from the port Of the land Of the blest.
Growing old peacefully,
Peacefully and blest.
Never a feeling Of envy and sorrow,
Where the bright faces Of children are seen;
Never u year from their youth wouldst thou
borrow, ]
Thou dost remember what lieth between.
Growing old willingly,
Gladly, l ween!
Rich in experience that angels might covet;
Rich in q faith that has grown with thy years;
Rich in q love that grew from and above it;
Soothing thy sorrows and hushing thy fears,
Growing old wealthy,
Loving and dear.
Hearts at the sound Of thy coming are light
ened,
Ready and willing thy hand to relieve;
Many a face atthy kind words have frightened
ut is more blessed to give than receive "
Growing old happily,
Blest, we believe.

glancing sternly at his daughter. "YOu

see or speak to Horace Maitland"
Lucy Wainwright's beautiful eyes
were suffused with tears as they looked
up pleadingly. For a moment her lips
trembled as if on the point of giving
u~tterance to some tender appeal but
there was so little encouragement in
the cold harsh look she encountered,
that she remained silent.
"DO you promise ?" her father asked,
in the impassive tone of a man who has
quite made up his mind.

gently, but firmly; q"
"Then you leave me but one course"
said MI. Wainwright, rising. "You
must remain a prisoner in your room
till reflection shall have brought you to
your senses. Come!
Lucy forced back her tears, and as
she followed her father, there was a
flush on her lovely face quite suggestive
of the ''native hue of resolution"
"Madge will bring you everything
you need" said Mr.. Wainwright, when
they had reached Lucy's apartment.
Lucy would have much preferred the
services of her own maid, Pauline, and
would have ventured to hint as much
had she thought it would have been any
use; for old Madge, the housekeeper,

times an iron hoop with a strong chain
was fastened around the body, but the
chain was longer than the halter, so

formally used in Spain, and sometimes
ornamented with a knife cut in the

That fish may be scalded much easier
by first dipping into boiling water for
about a minute. That fish may as well
be scalded, if desired, before packing
down in salt, though in that case don't
scald them. Salt fish are quickest and
best freshened by soaking in sour milk.
That milk which is turned or changed
may be sweetened and rendered fit for
use again by stirring in a little soda.
That salt will curdle with milk; hence,
in preparing milk porridge ,gravies etc.,
the salt should not be added until the
dish is prepared. That fresh meat,
after beginning to sour, will sweeten if
placed out of doors in the cool air over
night. That clear boiling water will
remove tea stains and many fruit stains.
