MANNERS IN THE DANCE.
The Author OF Anglomaniacs Gives Young
Ladies Sound Advice.

Ladies' Sound Advice.
Conspicuous mannerisms in dancing are
offensive to good form, writes Mrs Burton
Harrison in the November Ladies' Home
Journal l refer to certain tricks of holding
the left arm and hand, of carrying the train
of the dress (Which should be Of what is
called dancing length, and then be for
gotten utterly. of dipping the knees when
waltzing, etc.
These habits, contracted through heed
lessness, perhaps, have been seen to mar
the otherwise charming grace of maidens
whose youth and beauty called attention to
their movements on the floor. A dancing
master in New York, whose pupils are
known throughout Europe for their admira-
BILE form, would never tolerate an approach
to either affectation or hoy denism among
the young ladies of his classes. Most of
these girls had afterward occasion to dis
cover that what he thus taught them was of
the first importance in shaping the verdict
of the jury of chaperones, who, sitting on
the benches around ballroom walls, make
or mar a maiden's claim to place in the
front ranks of good society.
One can touch here with but the dip of .
swallow upon the matter of gowns worn un-
duly low-cut in dancing. So obvious is the
offense of this fashion against a woman s
finest feelings of propriety that it would
seem hardly requisite to lay down laws by
which to control it. A girl so equipped in
dancing, appears, more than at any other
time, to the eve of the casual looker-on, to
challenge criticism that, could she read
minds, would dye her cheek with maidenly
bushes. The dressmakers, often 20 blame
in sending home at the last moment bodices
so tightened in the seams as to make the
wearers miserable with the consciousn ess of
unintended display, should be controlled in
this respect more stringently by their GUS
toners. 1t is quite possible, BY judicious
management of darts and seams, to obviate
this most inartistic as well as offensive cut

NOVEL INSTRUMENT OF DEATH.
A Scottish King Killed by Poisoned Arrow
From a Silver Statue.

A Scottish King Killed by Poisoned Arrows
From a Silver Statue.
jewellers Weekly.l
According to tradition, Zenith, the leg
endary king of Scotland, was allured TO his
death in a most novel manner. ZENITH had
slain son and brother OF Fennella, who, to
be avenged, ordered Wiltus, famous sill
versmith, to construct death dealing statue
OF silver.
In his right hand the statue held a basin
and in the left hand en- apple of pure gold,
both set with diamonds and other precious
stones. To touch the apple was to defy
death, it being so arranged that anyone
guilty of such vandalism would be immedi-
ately riddled by poisoned arrows shot from
openings in the body of the statue.
Zenith was invited to inspect the wonder
and as Fennella had hoped he tried to pluck
the precious imitation fruit. When his
hand touched the apple he was woun ded by
the arrows, and died where he fell

He has come round the corner of tn e
rhododendrons, and his expression as he
looks at Mrs. Clarke is rather mixed. Is
this tall, digniied woman, the one who had
jumped out of the dining-room window an
hour ago? Or has she double?
Il hope you feel quite recovered from the
fatigue of your journey, SIR" saws Mrs
Clarke, who has had time to think of nice
remark to make to him while he is coming
toward her. An irresistible desire Tor
laughter takes sudden possession of her as
she makes her little speech, but as her eyes
are on the ground he remains ignorant OF it.
"Quite, thank you. But what 1 wanted
to say to you, Mrs Clarke, is that I'm
afraid I'm giving you an awful lot of
trouble"
Trouble, sir2'' Her eyes are still ON the
ground. Drayton, who is Regarding her
with puzzled air, has time to notice how
long, and dark and curling are the lashes
that lie on her soft cheek.
"OI yes-troublel' says he. 'Tt could
be only you who thought of having flowers
placed upon the breakfast table. Certainly
they were never there when last was here
And 1 can't tell you how obliged am to
you. 1 am fond of flowers; they remind me
of the old times. Ny poor mother used to
nave the rooms crowded with them-and
those old glasses, those tall vases-they re-
mind me OF her, too-the carnations looked
lovely in them"
"Flowers have-always their charm!" says
she, nervously, and then stops short and
fushes delicately. Surely the last word
was not right-the whole sentence was
wrong. Her own housekeeper would not
have spoken like that. By the way, what
would Kingston have said? Memory
that treacherous imp-refuses to help her.
What would Kingston have said? She is
quite aware that Drayton is saying some
thing or other, and that she is pretending
to listen to him, but in reality she is listen

with dismal sort of mirth, that if she
hopes to keep her place (that is right at all
eyents) she had better telegraph to King
ston from time to time as to how she is TO
behave and speak and look.

tInctly DR.. Drsyton's words) that 1t was

A Very Deep Boring.

it was carried out, has just been success
fully brought to completion at Gloucester
shire. England After passing through
some 121 feet of middle lias marlstone,
sand, and shales, the lower lias clay and
limestone proved to be !, 1,120 feet thick.
Below these came the rhaetic beds, and at
1,315 feet the keupe marls were reached,
into which the boring penetrated q feet
gypsum being found in the last two teet.
The total depth OF this boring is 1,3l2 feet,

Nor care If be lost.
1t is indeed with pale face and beating
heart, and mingled feelings of hope and
dread, that next day she sees him approach
ing her beneath the spreading branches of
the apple trees, whose fruit is now fast
growing into sickly little green round
nesses.
She certainly had not dreamt of seeing
him here again; here in the vegetable
garden, whittier she had come with thoughts
intent on the formation OF q faultless salad.
An old proverb had come to her, and she
had told herself, travestying little bit,
that the surest way to a masters good
graces is through his stomach, and if this
salad should prove q success, perhaps her
indiscretions of Yesterday may be forgotten.
But to see him beforehand. And here.
And now. She had been running, and
there had been little soft wind, and few
riotous nut-brown locks have broken loose
and are now straying overa white forehead.
She makes q swift gesture as If to subdue
them, lifting both her hands to her head,
and thereby showing of to advantage the
beauty of figure that even the straight,
black gown of servitude cannot altogether
conceal

clearer vision, he is startled by something

painful pang at his heart he tells himself it

early. We had supposed that Cinderella

where even the dancing men" have to go

Who first introduced vaccination into
Englandf Was it not woman from the
East? OMEGA.
Vaccination was introduced to the Brit
ish medical men by Dr. Edward Jenner in
1893 But before his time, as far back as
1921, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu had in-
troduced incubation for smallpox. She
had her son inoculated in 1718; in 1721
seven criminals were inoculated, and in
1922 two members of the royal family. By
incubation a mild form of smallpox was
induced in the patient. BY vaccination
milder disease was induced, which prevent
ed the smallpox.
Is it possible for a person not regularly
nominated to be elected President OF the
United States? PITT.
1t is legally possible, but practically i'm
possible. The electors are not compelled
by any law to vote for their party nominees,
and no legal punishment could be inflicted
upon them for voting for an outsider but
them to vote for that outsider to elect him.
How many pounds go to a bushel of wheat
in Great Britain? Is wheat sold there by
the bushel or by the 100 pounds? W. c. Il.
A bushsl of English wheat weighs 63
pounds; one of foreign wheat weighs 81
pounds. Wheat and corn are usually sold
in England by the quarter or eight bushels;
small amounts of grain are sold by the
stone, a weight of IA pounds.
Why is the Capitol of the United States
called the White House? j. l.. c.
The Capitol isn't called the White House;
the Presidents house, known officially as
the Executive Mansion, is called the White
House, because it is painted white. 1t is
built of freestone, brown stone; and has
been painted white from the very begin
ming.
A large number of inquiries have been
received as to the vote, majority and plu-
rality in various States at the recent cleo
tion. As fast as these figures are an
nounced they are printed in the news col
umns of THE DISPATCH. In some of the
States the count has not been official ly
completed yet, but will be published as
soon as possible.

In almost every State, if not in every
