Proverbs About snow.

from the boston Herald
or these there are many. Some have relations
to signs by which the number OF Snowstorms dur
ing the season are to be calculated and others TO
the number OF storms in the following winter
while still others claim a connection between the
moon and the snow. Passing by these, 1t may be
interesting at The beginning OF the snow season To
have selection OF the proverbs which seem to
have foundation In fact
snow Il generally preceded by a general ANNA
ton OF man and beast, which continues until after
the snowfall ends.
When the first snow remains on the ground some
time In places not exposed to the sun, expect
hard winter.
sWhen the snow falls dry 1t means to lie:
But flakes light and soft bring rain oft"
Burning wood in winter pops more before snow
When dry leaves rattle on the trees expect
snow.
"When In the ditch the snow doth lie
It's waiting for more by and BY"
1t takes three cloudy days to bring a heavy
snow.

follow.
II there is no snow before January, there viii be
the more snow In March and April.
''In March much snow,

German.
The more snow the more healthy the season.

The Philosophy of Dancing.

From Macmillans Magazine
1t seems to me that there is something subtler.
something more real In dancing than these rather
superficial distinctions, interesting as they may
be to the ordinary observer, useful as they must
be to one who is treating dancing from merely
historical standpoint. 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 poetrys sake the ideal dancer
Is one who dances purely for dancing's sake. As
all motives OF gain, nay, all moral and ethical ten
denotes, white they may magnify and popularize
poem, lessen its value as pure poetry so all ex-
trane0us motives detract from the purity OF dane
Ing. IL Is true that this ideal is never reached
but some dancing approaches it much more nearly
than Others the dances included In the first class
ngtOus. The gambols OF the Salvationists form
the only parallel among us. The secular element
has invaded the other representatives this
-calisthen1cs and the choruseS In the ballots; in
the former the end Is health, In the latter the
earning Of money, or something else which ought
TO be equally subsidiary Plainly 1t is not in this
sake.

The MOderss Knockout.

FROM the milwaukee Sentinel
The modern pr1Ze-fight is a Knockout 1t used
to be that men would fight 100 rounds with bare
knuckles, while now it is the rule to knock man
out with gloves in few rounds 1t is not that
men have less endurance than formerly, for it is
not now question of endurance. The secret is O.
blow from the shoulder On the side OF the neck,
Such blow, fairly planted, knocks a man out.
In The modern prtzefight It is question OF skill
In getting in this neck blow. Occasionally two
men are SO equally matched as to skill that neither
can get in this blow until either is too weak to
make 1t effective. In such a fight we have the
Old contest OF endurance. In the majority OF re-
cent fights this neck blow does the business in
few rounds.
1t Is not new discovery, this blow. In "Kenelm
Chillingly" Bulwer introduces it with wonderful
effect: When the light and trim hero meets
robust thumper he neatly plants this blow On his
neck, and the big one goes down like struck OK.
But Buiwer warns his readers that it Is q very
dangerous blow and may kill a man. The
danger In 1t Is one reason why it has been
seldom resorted to by lighters. But since the
Introduction OF glove fights they seem to have
concluded that there is less risk in it. The phi
1osophy of the thing is simple enough, and has
nothing to 90 with The Jugular veins, as lighters
Imagine. 1t forces the neck vertebre against the
spinal cord, producing temporary paralysis. The
danger is in dislocating the neck. One OF these
days neck-h1tter will kill his man. and then this
blow Will be discarded.
