the people Of Mound Valley are bent
on social festivities the present Win
ter. On New Years Eve a jolly crowd
of dancers surprised Mrs. j. R. Henry
at Shelton, and "chased the merry
hours with flying feet" till early dawn.
1t was q most enjoyable affair and all
"went merry as a marriage bell" Tho
most unique and pleasing feature of
the occasion was the last waltz. This
was sung by Mr.. Tom Henry in fine
operate style, and for harmony and
pathos outrivaled any musical Instru-
ment that has been played in this
section for some time; and as for dur
alton there seemed to be no limit to
Toms wind. He received the plaudits
Of the crowd, as did also Mr.. John
McInnis and Lille Turner, for get

Natures True Tonic.

One Of the advantages of light gym
nastics is that the sick and convalescent
can make what appear to be trifing eff
forts, and by them in time be restored
to active health. If too feeble to be
practically able to make but little exer-
ton, try what are known as deep breath
ing movements. Lie fiat upon the back,
take as long and as deep breaths as pos
sible, and while the mouth is closed
slowly throw the arms up in front and
then at the sides. Rest for ten minutes.
Try again the same inhalation and ex-
halation of air, the latter being pure and
fresh. After while attempt the same
sitting up. These exercises can safely
be taken by the sick one every day sew
eral times, and the whole muscular sys-
tenn will be improved, just as if some
revivifying tonic had been given, far
better one than any charged with al
cohol or some like stimulant.-Ladies

Curious German Legends.

It is belief among the German chill
dren that hares lay the Easter eggs, and
the country children go to the woods
shortly before Easter and gather moss,
grass and twigs and form them into
nests, which they mark with their
names, and then skillfully hide these be-
hind the bushes in the garden or under
the large chairs or sofas in the library or
sitting room. On Easter morning they
go and see what the hare has brought.
No one knows exactly why the hare
has been associated with Easter, though
there are many pretty legends giving
reasons, which are as fully believed by
the little German people as the stories
of the good Kris Kringle. The only diff
ference is that one comes at the Christ
mas tide, the other at the Easter festival.
Both are surrounded with mystery, but
both are alike welcome, and are laughed
about and talked about many times be-
fore the happy days come again. Emma

The Way the Farmer Took 1t.

We are indebted to the clergy for
some odd blunders. A country clergy
man on certain occasion chose for his
text passage from the Scriptures which
had been variously interpreted, and on
concluding his sermon he said, .'These
are the conclusions have reached after
the most diligent study, but must in
form you that the commentators dis
agree with me-" He was somewhat as
tonished the next day to receive big
bag of potatoes with the following note:
Reverend and dear sir: You told me
this mornin' as how common taturs
didn't agree with you. / hope as how

Early Electric Phenomena.

An Englishman put on a pair of
wooden stockings over his silk ones on a
cold winter day. At night he pulled the
stockings off without separating them
and was astonished by the cracking
noise and even the sparks of electricity
which followed. When he drew the silk
stockings out of the woolen ones the
electrical attraction was so manifest that
the stockings would incline toward one
another when held more than foot
apart. It happened that the silk stock
ings were black and the wooden ones of
light color, but when he tried the expert
ment with both stockings Of the same
color there was no electrical appearance.
This stocking experiment soon got to be
the fashionable 'fad" in England. Ley
don jars were charged by the stocking
process, and great fun was had by Civ
ing light shocks to persons and domestic
animals. .-Exchange
