What class of people learn the art Of
dancing quickest?"
Experience has taught us that the ma
tive American learns as quickly as any
nationality 1t seems to come natural to
the American child to dance, though a
great many of the pupils of all academies
are of other natonalities. The greatest
difficulty we have is with those who have
acquired certain amount of facility at
dancing and come here to have that easy
suppleness and graceful motion they have
observed in others when in the ballroom
In most cases we have to teach these peo,
pie how not to dance. They don't dance
correctly, and we have to break them out
of the way of their errors before we begin
with our system.
More particularly is this noticeable in
foreigners If an Englishman comes to
take lessons in the American style of
dancing, technically known as the glide,
the difficulty he experiences is to keep his
feet on the floor, eradicate the natural
disposition he has to hop up and down
like the other importation from the
queens dominion, the festive sparrow
The German finds the greatest difficulty
In restraining himself from breaking out
into sort of Lauterbach style, and so on
with the Frenchman, who has predispo
slaon for a light. springy motion, alto
gether dissimilar to the willowy, graceful
motion of the true American waltzer. -

Enrland,s Taste in Smoking.

The English cigars are made OF Amer
lean tobacco, but fail in manipulation
according to our standard. They look
bright and wooden" rather than like a
natural leaf product. When cigars were
introduced into England they all came
from Cuba, and this being before the
days of steam the goods were five
or six weeks in transit, packed in
the vessels hold with no ventilation.
The cigars being made in a humid eli
mate, packed while fresh, fermented and
generated fungus dixie mites in cheese,
which tasted very bitter when smoked,
utterly destroying their value. 1t was
then discovered that by subjecting the
cigars to the dry heat Of a kiln the life
of the fungus was destroyed and the
cigar became smokable.
1t is owing to this fact that the En-
glish insist on dry" cigars to the pres
ent day, and pinch them to see if they
crackle before they buy them. The cigar
dealers knowing this mark date on the
bottom of cigar boxes when fresh stock
is received, but the date marked is six
months back, so a box marked Oct. 1
1889, would be received by the dealer

A certain Dexter man isn't a success
as a mouser. Furthermore, he has a
young son who has shown himself shock
ingly deficient in the way of compassion
for the suffering. The other morning a
mouse crept cautiously from the open
door of the cellarway. The man of the
house grabbed broom, carefully poised
his weapon and launched mighty blow
at the venturesolne rodent. AS he struck
his toe caught in a rug and away he
gayly went, head first, bump, thump,
bang to the bottom of the cellar stairs.
AS he was trying to remember whether
twas last year or day before tomorrow
he became conscious of a face peeking
over the door sill, face squizzled with
twist of demoniac glee. A pause and
then the shrill voice of his youngest
chirped, "D'ye git i'm, d-a-ad?"-Dextel

Hair Spring of a Watch.

The making of the hair spring Is really
the most delicate operation about b.
manufacture of the watch. The wire b
received in spools, and is nothing mon
than q round thread This is run betvsl
hardened steel rollers and tlattened, and
being wound on the roll, is then draw
between diamond dies, which give their
quired thickness and width. The spring
must be of exactly the same width and
thickness, and before being used is tested
on register which marks down to one
two hundred and fifty thousandths Of u
inch.
To show to what fineness this ms1
ures, a hair placed between the pM
marked 1000, and moved forward ball
an inch registered 1862.
OF course, every one knows that q nn
varies in thickness, but that it should y
so exactly measured is a surprise 'M
when it is remembered that the Mi
spring of watch cannot vary even y
much as the variance in hair from la
human head, the delicacy of the opelala
will be emphasized in the imagnauos..
The wire is received in lengths OF laV
yards, and in this entire length must n'
vary 80, or one-thirtieth of what q lai
varies in half an inch. The spring Is u',
cut into lengths of twelve inches, ~
these are wound, four at time, anu wy
quickly, the tool resembling large fa
holder, and turning from the END, na
the shape of a spring and OF seVeu la
coils. The wire is hardened, ou1 VILE "
very easily, and is removed nom ia "a

DEAR HEART, SWEET HEART.

Y Dear heart, sweet heart, your BABY hanus
Have touched and passed TINS noatiha
world, -.
And now upon your breast lie furied
Twin blossoms Of eternal peace
Like lilies on untrouhled streams,
When the rude winds save made surcease
And summers glory drifts and dreams
Dear heart, sweet heart, your waxen lips
Shall never touch my cheek again,
For they are stepped in an eclipse
Which lies beyond my mortal ken
And that great sphinx Of death who keeps
His silent vigil over all
Has left thy face as one who sleeps
Save for the bosom's rise and fan
Dear heart, sweet heart, thy tender eyes
with all their depths OF wondering,
Are closed for aye, as droops and dies
The first sweet violet bank OF spring;
And their far look OF thought unthought
Shall never come again, or be,
Since this remorseless change was wroughe
That closed the gates 'twixt thee and me
Dear heart sweet heart, the lonely way
Seems douby steep since you are gone
The dawn has faded out of day,
The rose has faded out Of dawn;
And |, Glasl must needs go down
My hand unclasped by any child,
To wear the cross without the crown
And walk through life unreconciled
Dear heart, sweet heart, mid hopes and fear
beud and kiss you thus and thus.
Mine eyes are dim with trimming teara
My lips with grief are tremulous.
Ny baby boy-that you should die
And out into the darkness go,
Beyond my broken hearted cry
loved you so. loved you sol

Among the numerous magnetic sepa-
rators one of the most remarkable is
that for the extraction of iron from the
sea sand. 1t is stated that ordinary sea
sand contains from to 7per cent. of iron,
enough to give large excess over cost of
extraction. The machine consists of a
cylinder, whose surface is composed of
electromagnetic, revolving on the inside
of an endless canvas belt. The sand is
fed to the belt, and spray of water sepa-
rates the particles, the iron being re-
tanned by the powerful electromagnetic
and carried off on the belt to a recepta-
Gle at the other end, while the sand falls
into the trough below.-Exchange.
