President Elliot of Harvard college
in a late paper ON the elective system in
college studies, says the average Amer
lean boy could go to college at the age
of eighteen. He can select for himself
. better course Of study than any col
lego faculty can map out for him. The
result Of President Elliot's own obser-
vations In the elective system Of studies
as watched by him for nine years, ex-
tending from 1854 to 1863, was that
studsnts always select more theoretical
and practicagrnerit for his case than any
curriculum prescribed IN his college
days. Under the elective system great
majority Of students select some par
ticular subiscs and wisely deyote the
greater part 81 their tEnas % it. Pres
idents Of other colleges strongly oppose
the elective system and stick TO the dead

NEWS OF THE WEEK SUMMARIZED.
American riour.

TORONTO, Special Correspondence, Feb "a
Canadian millers are greatly agitated just
now over the proposed increase in the Hour
duties Last week a large deputation waited
on the Canadian government and asked that
the duty on American -four be increased from
so to IS cents per barrel They claimed that
the large importatiOns Qast year amounting
to nearly q million barrels) OF American nouf
gave them greater competition than they can
stand, and that unless the duties are lncreas-
ed Immediately most Of the Canadian mills
will have to shut down. The government
rOmiSed the Canadian millers that the duty
ON American tlOur would be Immediately IN
creased % 70 cents per barrel hon; NC
KenZie Bowel. minister of customs, how
ever, suggested to the deputatiOn that the
reason the American millers were able TO
underSell the Canadian mllieTS was not alto
gether owing to the tariff being lower than
they thought it should be. he was
informed on good authority that the
rate on Hour from Winona, Mimi,
to Ottawa, Ont, was ~ cents, while
from Toronto TO Ottawa it was 80 cents.
The discrimination in railway rates in favor
Of American millers sending hour TO the
Canadian markets enabled them TO put their
-four on the markets in Canada at prices as
low as those quoted by the Canadian mlllers,
Fully one-third Of the -four consumed in
Nova Scotia and other eastern provinces OF
Canada, and about One-fourth OF the con-
sumption in Ontario is supplied from Amer
lean mills The Canadian mills cannot
supply the demand for flour in Canada,
and even if the capacity of the
Canadian mills were equal to the demand,
the people of Canada would not be content
to be without American flour, which is
largely in favor here. Tho action of the
Canadian government in increasing The duty
on -four will be very unpopular in the mari
time provinces, and it is thought that the
change in the tariff will not last long. ana
dams will still consume a large quantity OF
American flour, Notwithstanding the in
creased duty, for they cannot get
such an even supply of flour of
the same grade in Canada as that which is
imported from the United States. In 1888
the wheat crop of Canada was a failure and
Canadian mills were grinding at a disadvan-
tage through having to import large guam
titles of wheat from Minnesota and the other
Western states. The American mills took
advantage of the stringency that followed
the failure of the wheat crop in Canada and
got such a firm hold on the Canadian -four
markets, and were so successful in establish
ing the superiority of American over Cana
dian flour, that the Canadian millers have
not been able to work them out.

Robert Collyer preached recently,
in New York city, on the subject of
George Eliot" While he paid the
highest tribute to her genius and to the
elevated tone of her writings, he said
II can not but believe that she has made
one grave mistake, and that, say what
we viii, or love her for her beautiful
genius as we do, she must answer for
it," He added, however, that he felt
under such obligations to her that he
would as soon make accusation against
his own mother or sister as to press the
accusation against her.

E1ghG instead OF four couples Tot Tno
Lancsrs The Prospective Popularity Of
The Excelsior Waltz and the Waltz Quad
rifle.
From the New York Sun.
Professors of dancing never agree
that there is nothing new under the
u n They find something entirely and
surprisingly new every fall. Their
most recent discoveries are two brand
new dances. These dances have been
christened the excelsior waltz" and
the waltz quadrille {speciaD." They
have also discovered that the lancers
can be danced with eight couples in
stead of four. and that the German
heretofore has been q vain and empty
show because some beautiful and arts
tic figures have been wanting. Prof.
l.. DEG Brookes, who has taught lane
ing for upward of forty years, is 50
proficient that one dance at q time IS
not enough for him. He told q report
er of the Sun all about the new
dances.
s"The American Society of Professors
of Dancing, of which / am a member,
he said, permits it's members to pre-
pare a new dance and then submit II to
the society for inspection. Ifit is looked
upon favorably it is adopted, 50 that
nearly all the dancing academies VIZ
teach the same dance. When the 30
ciety waltz was first introduced it wa
thought highly of, but gradually 1t LOST
its tone because it was exaggerated. IL
was danced with a slight rolling motion,
but this motion soon grew into some
thing like this:
The Professor got up, whirled around
for a moment, and then darted of side
ways with his body bent nearly double.
After he had composed himself he con.
tinued:
.Of course that wouldn't do, es-
pecially as its original name, the
redowa-glissade, Twas INTO
the sknickerbocker, the telephone,
the kick scoop and q lot OF
other plspian titles. Now, the excel
sior' will correct all this. In the 'ex-
celsior' there will be q slide without ex-
travagance, and then a revolution with
the redowa step, which can be made
either first or last. The side movement
will be with a step similar tcthat OF the
galop. Ofcourse, there is q class Of
people, commonly known as 'spielers,
who will dance every kind of . waltz
with precisely the same step, but there
is no hope for this misguided class.
The waltz quadrille is bound to become
popular all oyer the country. The
waltz quadrille commonly danced ~
the hopeless class above referred TO
consists of swinging the lady and then
spinning around, but this is not the way
the best society dances it. In the new
quadrille you waltz all around instead Of
balancing. Each figure is gone through
four times the same as the old dance, but
the figures are different. The heads
lead to right, partners are changed
and then the dancers resume their plac-
es. The partners are changed again
and everybody waltzes.
"The lanciers has been danced here
fofore in the old Saratoga style. Nov
we never do the plain lanciers. We IN
tend dancing it with eight couples.
The heads will chassez from right to

and artistic figures which have been
