ELECTRICAL Review; The complete
disintegratIon of rat by electricity
so that it retained all its natural APP
pearance, but crumbled to dust as
soon as touched by metal, Is vouched
for by Mr.. Henry J. Tolbert, now WIS.,

ians remain rather incpcd9logs, as
they well may. The story is told as
follows: The City of Reading is fur
nished portion of its light by COM
pany which produces the electric cur
rent by means of the Brush machines.
Mr.. Tolbert says he visited the plant
OF the Reading company, and while
looking ut the brushes gathering the
SPARKS Of the fluid rat came running
over the Hoor. 20 escape his human
enemies, he jumped directly to the
floor on to one of the brushes and was
thrown back to the ground. He lay
motionless, apparently and certainly
dead, but without even hair turned.
One Of the employees wns sent with q
shovel to CUTLER II IN, but rs soon as
the shovel touched II tho rat fell to
dust, with aloud OF PARTICLES rising

st. Paul Globe: Among the many
good things said by Mr.. Smalley, in
his address to the Minneapolis Press
Club, there was none truer than the
statement that the country editor was
not sufficiently appreciated. The inn
portance of the country editor has
never been fully recognized. The ten
dency has always been to under-size
him, and more particularly is it apt
to be done by his brethren of the met
ropolltan press, when, in fact, his po-
sition is the only one Of true lnde-
pendence in journalism. Although
the work of the country newspaper is
more limited than the metropolitan
press, still the editor has th6 advant~
age of impresslng his exclusive indi-
viduality upon it, while metropolitan
journalism is of necessity the aggre-
gate work of many. If the country
editor is man with force of character
he naturally becomes a leader of the
community in which he labors. He
moulds public sentiment and dictates
public policy. He is in reality our
country's laWgiver. While his accu-
mutations may never grow into vast
wealth, still his position assures him
competency and an independence
which is of more value than riches.

STILL ON DECK,


Tha undersigned now sells the best
and only steel frame self binder and
harvester In the world. Farmers,
don't fall to come and see my sample
machine before you give your orders.
No machine can do first-class work
unless the harvester is equally as eff
fective as the binding apparatus. In
the Osborne particular pains 10 taken
IN the Gogstruction of the harvester,
and by constant experiment at vast
outlay OF money the company have
adapted 1t to the requirements of me-
chanicat binding. In bringing out
the machine for 1886 they have stud
led llghtness, durability and simplic-
lty, and the result is the production
of the most desirable harvester that is
furnished with any binder in the
market.

Daniel Buck: There is no want OF
intellect among the farming popula-
ton. The difficulty is that 1t is unde-
veloped intellect. The greatest,
grandest and best of all statesmen,
dead or living, have sprung from our
agricultural population. Why can
we not have more of them upon the
stage of actual life, to fight for equali-
ty, right and eternal justice? If the
agricultural world is not what it ought
to be, then you must lay the founda-
ton for lettering it. What is the
reason that agriculture does not come
to the front, In battle array, with col
ors flying, and proclaim as General
Jackson did: "By the Eternal, " agri-
culture shall have its great rights re-
spected and its just demands granted.

And souls that were kindred may live apart,
Never to meet or know the truth,
Never to know how heart beat with heart
In the dim past days Of wasted youth.

When over his temples her tresses swept;
As she leaned to give him the jasmine wreath
With the passionate love that ehoked her

And saddensh her lifenow her youth is dead.

The Philosophy of Dancing

It seems to me that there is some
thing subtler, something more real in
dancing than these rather superficial
distinctions, interesting as they may
be to the ordinary observer, useful IS
they may be to one who treating
dancing from mere historical stand
point. All human knowledge, we are
told, is relative; so is all dancing. In
dancing as in everything else there is
an ideal, an ideal ever unattainable,
but toward which all dancing should
tend. AS the ideal poet is one who
writes poetry purely for poetry sake,
so the ideal dancer is one who dances
purely for dancing's sake. AS all mo-
tives of gain, nay, all moral and ethi-
cal tendencies, while they may magni-
fly and popularize a poem, lessen its
value as pure poetry, SO all extrane-
Gus motives detract from the purity
Of dancing. It is true that this ideal is
never reached, but some dancing ap-
proaches it much more nearly than
others. The dances included in the
first class, "Pyrrhica saltatio," were
in ancient times religious The gam
bols OF the Salvationists form the
only parallel among US. The secular
element has invaded the other repre-
sentatives of this sclass-calisthenic
and the choruses in the ballets; in the
former the end is health, in the latter
the earning of money, or something
else, which ought to be equally subsi-
diary. Plainly it is not in this class
that we are to look for dancing for
dancing's sake.-Macmillan's Maga-
zine.
