EngIIsh Dancing.


 The wish to jump in symmetrical combi- nations is one of the most deeply implanted instincts of the human race. Savages dance and we dance, and our dances differ from theirs only in detail. The more lively and boisterous dances approximate more nearly to the original type, and are therefore the best. The best dances now practiced in London is the Highland schottische, but only the more favored of the effete sons and daughters of civilization can live up to it. The same spirit which produced the romantic revival in literature lifted the common run of dancers out of minuets, quadrilles and such like eighteenth century hollowness into the waltz, and there they stick for the pres ent. Also dancing contains the germs of a great principle. There exists a certain epi- cene sect of improvers of the English Ian guage, who frequently speak of dancing as revolving" Their words contain more wisdom than they know. The dancer re- wolves round on his own axis, and also round the center of the apartment. He goes through 8 never en1ing cycle of essentially contempt ible revolutions, and he gets no farther. Herein he is deeply conservative, and he il- lustrates the social and political processes of his kind.

THE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN.

The campaign in Virginia is a very hot one and with fair fight and an honest count there is very little doubt that the Democrats will be beaten. But, unfortunately, there is little reason to expect fair fight and an hon est count.
 The most formidable weapon in the hands of the Virginia Democrats is their election law, which was made last year. In the last legislature the Democrats had 8 two-thirds majority. Their power was made use of in repeating the existing election laws and pass ing, over the Governors veto, a new act, which the Republicans appropriately named F'the ballot-killer bi1l.'' Under this act the appointment of every election officer in the State is put in the hands of boards in each county and city chosen by the Democratic legislature. Every member of every one of these boards is Democrat. There isn't Republican on one of them. Of the election officers appointed by these boards every sin gle registrar of voters in Virginia is a Demo crat; every commissioner (whose duty it is to count the votes and make returns) is Dem ocrat. Not Republican has been appointed to one of these places. As to judges of elee- tion, the law stipulates that they be taken from different parties "wherever it is possi- ble to do so," but expressly provides that 'sno election shall be deemed invalid" where this is not done. And even this provision is evaded, says the Richmond Whig, ffhy the appointment of judges of election who are only nominal Republicans, who act with the Bourbons, who are so ignorant or vsnal that they can be controlled, or who, on account of age or other known causes, will not attend the polls and serve."
 With such laws regarding elections and with their enforcement entrusted solely to Democrats the Republicans of Virginia have not much reason to rejoice over the outlook. Yet they are cheerful. The Richmond Whig says: 'tWe shall be vigilant. We shall not shut our eyes nor tamely submit to wrong. We shall be cheated, of oourse-but to cheat enough the Bourbons and their minions will have to go to fragrant outrages which they dare not perpetrate. We are. so strong in right and popular support that no frauds the Bourbons dare venture upon can wholly over come our ever growing strength at the polls. Success to the Virginia Republicans and con fusion to their dishonest opponents.

 MT. Gladstone has written letter to the pilot who accompanied the Sunbeam on its cruise to Norway. It seems that the Norwe- gian people took the greatest interest in the visit of Nr. Gladstone to their country, and the peasantry were especially pleased at see- ing the celebrated statesman among them. The following anecdote illustrates the inde- pendent spirit and the advanced political opinions of these sturdy peasants. An Eng fish lady, who has just returned from Nor way, was present one day last month when the Prince of Wales visited an Englishman at his fishing quarters on a Norwegian farm. The lady called t5e attention of some peas, ants who were standing 55sy to the prince and pointed him out to them. .hey dld not seem to evidence the least emotion or curlos- ity at seeing the heir to the British empire, but only asked quietly, f:Where is Mir.

An Archaeological Discovery In Russia


 When the foundations were being cleared at Kieff, the workmen came on some weap- ons colored earthenware and an urn, all in excellent condition. The urn contained set of ornaments for a woman in perfect preservation, the importance of which con- sists less in their antiquity (probably the tenth or eleventh century, than in their com pleteness The urn was we'll fastened, and had evidently never been disturbed since tho possessor hid away from enemies her most valuable effects. Along with other articles there were nine old square silver coins known as 'sgrivna." There is g complete headdress, consisting of lace work of indescribable in- tricacy, but which has been kept in it's orig inal position by silver plates to which it is sewn, so that one can see how a well-to-do Russian woman of the pre- Tartarlc times adorned herself.
 The silver plates are oblong, surrounding the head and forming sort of diadem. A quantity of silver and gold pendants hung all round from those plates, the pendants which would come over the ears being much larger than the others There were silver bracelets and necklaces, and gold ring, which is not soldered, but welded, and prob ably belongs even to an older date than the other objects. There was a considerable quantity of other silver and gold ornaments, chiefly pendants, many of which show ex- tremely fine filagree work. The larger gold objects are of the class known as cloisonne work. All the ornaments show finish and taste, and they are evidences of the perfec- tion to which the arts had been brought in Russia nine centuries ago.

TO CONVALE LESCENTS.

After severe attack of disease, it does not matter of what type, the constitution is left in au enfsebled and enervated condition
 THE PATIENT FEELS DE- PRESSED AND LANGUID.
 The least attempt at exercise tires him and produces unacoustomed pains and aches.
 THE REAS0N for this is that the tissues-the muscles-have been wasted by disease. The glands and organs have be- come weakened from diseas, and medication. The stomach is not in condition to assinilate the food that the system requires to build it up.
 WHAT Is NEEDED at this time is a reliable stomach and system tonic. Years of experience and hundreds of thousands of cases have demonstrated that no remedy known to medical science equals DIR. R. c. FLOWERS LIVER AND STOMACH SANATIVE as a tonic at such times.
 It invigorates and TONES UP THE STOMACH, enabling it to perform it's important part in the process of digestion, it corrects and regulates the action of the liver at time whep it is so apt to be de- raIlSou, u QulChoAS IAO SeCACtlnS pOWc1 OL the kidneys, enabling them to eliminate the poisons and waste matter from the system, and lastly TIT ACTS As A GENERAL TONIC.

New York Cor, Chicago HERALD
The observer of faces in New York
may find an interesting study in the
difference of expression between the
mems yisages in lower Broadway by
daylight and to upper Broadway by
gaslight. The downtown features are
perplexed by business hurry and worry:
the elbowing throngs are composed of
earnest strugglers for dollars, for in
that part of town the methods of money
making are usually dependent on per
sonal exertion or mere chance; and the
pallor or flush of the compilations, the
nervous energy Of action, and the strain
on the muscles controlling the brows
and mouths, combine to make the men
look like tortured victims in the cham
Der of horrors.
But a view of the same persons at the
time when the numerous-up-town thea
tres are being filled or emptied shows a
transformation. They seem ten years
apiece younger, their gaits are careless,
and their faces have lost the hard
drawn, deep lines of anxiety. They
are chatting with their female compan-
ions as gaily as though the cares OF
business were unknown to them. The
average New Workers. ability to leave
his work in his Office or store, and go
home unburdened, is peculiar.

Already l observe two very distinct
kinds of structure in the granite of this
region, which, singly or combined, deter
mine all the forms about this wonderful
valley These two kinds of structure are
the concentric structure, on an almost in
conceivably grand scale, and a rude
columnar structure, or perpendicular
cleavage, also On a grand scale. The dis
Indignation and exfoliation of the granite
masses OF the concentric structure give
rise to the bald rounded domes; the struct-
ure itself is well seen in Sentinel dome,
and especially in the royal arches. The
columnar structure, by designation, gives
rise to Washington column, n the sharp
peaks, like Sentinel rock and Cathedral
spires. Both these structures exist in the
same granite, though the one or the other
may predominant.
In all the rocks about Yosemite there Is
a tendency to cleave perpendicularly. In
addition to this, in many there Is also a
tendency to cleave in concentric layers,
giving rise to dome-hke forms. Both are
well seen combined in the grand mass of
Half Dome. The perpendicular face wall
of this dome is the result OF the perpen-
diculnr cleavage. Whatever may be our
theory OF the formation of Yosemite
chasm and the perpendicularity of its
cliffs, we must not leave out Of view this
tendency to perpendicular cleavage. |
observe, too, that the granite here is very
coarse-grained, and d~isintegrates into
dust with great rapidity.-Cor. Overland

A few weeks ago, as the cable informed
us, there died in England a nobleman
named Lord Strathnairn, who earned his
military notoriety rs Sir Hugh Rose. He
It was who gained n monstrous celebrity
for blowing Sepoy prisoners from the
mouths Of his cannon, and perpetrating
the most horrible atrocities during the
indian mutiny. An eyewitness thus de
Icribes the scene; A man was chained
lacing the muzzle Of the cannon, the
mouth Of the piece against the center OF
she body; and behind him were bound
nine men, close together, all facing
toward the gun. At one horrible days
slaughter, forty pieces of artillery were
occupied for hours. The discharge Of the
gun blew the ten men TO shreds; and the
assembled multitude of Indian witnesses
had an illustration of English vengeance
that was calculated to insure submission.

LONDON, Dec. THE summary Of the
elections thus far held show that 1911 Lib
erals, 1876 Tories and IS Parnellites have
been returned.
Sixty-six county divisions voted to-day.
The votes will be counted tomorrow. The
balance of the parties continues so close
that the ultimate result will be uncertain
ill Friday, by which time most of the
counties will have voted. The Conserva-
tive agents report to the Conservative
headquarters that they are confident OF
twenty-five majority. The Parnellite
vote in Dublin was immense, being %, 772,
against the Conservative vote Of 4,476
and Liberal vote of s,l70.

As a rule, tonics are given in too
large doses. To give larger doses than
the blood can take up is surely gross
folly. Iron, for example, is usually
prescribed almost ~recklessly; it passes
through the body instead Of being taken
up by the system, and it does not do
this without causing mischief. Hence
we would advise,that tones DO taken in
small and frequent does. This is coun
sci for physicians, but a mor emphatic
admonition is probably needed by tho
vast majority Of patients, who cultivate
a propensity for swallowing larger doses
than the doctor prescribes. 1t is II com
mon and, perhaps natural, albeit in
furious fallacy TO assume that because
one teaspoonful of a mixture is expected
10 relieve an ailment two spoonsful
taken at the same time ought to DO
quite as eficacious. The impotence Of
some folks retards their recovery.

Second to the daily press, no greater
influence is exercised in the matter of
popular education than by the lecture
platform. Except, perhaps, for its more
limited audience, it might be graded
upon an equality with the newspaper,
and in some respects has an advantage
over the latter which the printed letter
IAN not boast. A thing read has al
ways less effect upon the mind than the
spoken word, and for the reason that
the writer does not enjoy that personal
contact with his readers which the
speaker uses with such mighty influence
upon his audience.
