Hom a Mormon Bishon WaItzed.

The Mormon church looks with dis
favor on the familiarities of certain
styles of dancing, and the bishops have
sought to regulate this matter among the
young and giddier saints. At n dance
IN the Seventh ward, the other night,
says the Salt Lake Tribune, the bishop
expressed himself highly displeaSed
with round dances. He said that it was
condemned by the priesthood, and if the
saints could not get along without round
dances, they had better go home. The
young folks demonstrated with him, but
all to no purpose. IF you must waltz,
let me show YOU how to do it" said he,
and he got on the floor with a lS3 pound
blonde; the band struck up the Blue
Danube" and away they slid. Down
the hall glide the bishop and the blonde;
the tips other fingers touch his and Il cruel
cold space between them. This was the
church method-the priestly-improved
arms-length waltz. Soon there was a
slight contraction Of the arms, and the
space between them gradually decreased.
Presently one arm enCirCled the fair
form. The blonde was the first TO give
way, and her cheek looked like a sun
flower in a turnip field as it rested on
the shoulder of the man of God Round
and round went they, and the fascina-
ting, weird-like strains fOated like
heavenly music to his soul. Forgotten
was the round dance dogma of the
church, and by the calm smile that stole
across his face we knew that theology
was defeated, and one man, at least,
utterly Indifferent to a future punish
ment.

I was then conducted TO a throne in
the northwest on which sat the Grand
WhiteWasher, clothed in spOtless white.
Near him was the TroubadOur, dressed as
Apollo, holding a harp. The G. W.
said:
"Strike the lyre!"
I thought he meant me and duCked,
but the Tyre was struck and lyrist sung:
The weary ways are DER at last
OF pain and keen vexatiOn;
Now rest upon the happy shore
In pmifi-ki-atiOn."
They then put white gown on me,
tolerably clean, and the G. w. sprinBled
some rOse-water on me from a silver wa
ter-pOt, which l was told was the puCif-
cation designated. I was then taken to
the centre of the room, where the whole
body joined in a dance round about me,
chanting to the twanGing Tyre:
ct is finished He is ours,
We are his by occult powers;
May we all OF US prove jealous
Asthe oldest kind of fellows"
Each OAc as he passed gave me a
punch or a kick, as a proof of the SINGER
ity Of his feeling, intimating that all
were good at a PINCH" but my head
grew SO dizzy that fell down, in which
condition l was taken out. When
came to, I found myself at home, my
wife pinching me in order to wake me
up. And that was my experience in the
"Old Work" Was it a dream?
Of the lessons I received, that regard
ing the Truth sticks to me still, and
l always inculcate the Truth, illustrating
it with the story I have heard of G..
Washington, who, at ten years of age,
confessed to barking up a cherry tree
with his little hatchet because he
wouldn't tell a lie. "Come here, my
son." said old Mr.. Washington, "and
let me larrup you, for it were better
that twenty boys should be fOgged than
that another cherry tree like that should
be spOilt," or words to that effect.

Some Popular Fallacies in Education.
From an address delivered before
a Teachers Association in New
Hampshire:
L. That the schools of to-day do
not produce as good results as those
Of fifty years ago.
2. That progress should be meas
ured by the amount of books gone
over.
3. That time is not a factor in the
mental progress of a child.
4. That any one can teach school,
especially a primary school
5. That teachers have too much
money.
5. That not so many scholars are
taught in the public schools as ten
years ago.
7. That the government in the
public schools is not as good as il
used to be.-[Eelectic Teacher.

Origin of the Name of 'ePunkin-Head.D -

Newhaven NOW New Haven) is ceIe-
brated for having given the name of
"Pumpkin-heads" to all the New Eng
landers. It originated from the "Blue
Laws" which enjoined every male to
have his hair cut round by cap. When
caps were not to be had, they substitu-
ted the hard shell Of a pumpkin, which,
being put on the head every Saturday.
the hair is cut by the shell all round
the head. whatever religious virtue is
supposed to be derived from this custom"
says Peters, in his History of Connecti-
cut, 81 know not; but there is much pru-
dence in it; first, it prevents the hair
from snarling; secondly, it saves the use
Of combs, bags and ribbons; thirdly, the
hair cannot incommode the eyes by fall
ing over them; and fourthly, such per-
sons as have lost their ears for heTesy
and other wickedness cannot conceal
their misfortune and disgrace"

ARattIesnake's Attack.

When a rattlesnake IS disturbed, It
sounds an alarm, and then, if compelled,
it will fight. When the victim is within
reach, the jaws of the snake are separat-
ed, and the head thrown back so as to
bring the fangs into a favorable position
to penetrate the object. The head is then
darted rapidly forward, the unsheathed
tooth penetrates the body of the victim,
and the poison is injected into the flesh.
The same muscular acts which open the
wound, inject the venom through the
duct, and into the part penetrated by the
tooth. The divergence Of the fang-pOints
when the snake bites often causes a con-
siderable distance between the two
wounds. The power with which the
venom is elected from the tooth depends
somewhat upon the amount contained
in the gland and its ducts. If the snake
fails to strike the object aimed at, the
poison is sometimes projected several
feet; and a case is on record where it
was thrown into the eyes of a man who
was six feet from the snake, when it
struck upwards at a stick held above its
cDi1

Of coincidence in the year 1871, the
English Cabinet or Privy Council was
composed of five men whose initials

These ministers were called the Cabal,
