Curious Facts About Dancing.

An average waltz takes dancer over
about three-quarters of a mile; a square
dance makes him cover half a mile. A
girl with well filled programme trav-
els thus in one evening: Twelve waltzes,
nine miles; four other dances at a half
mile apiece, which is hardly fairly big
estimate, two miles more; the intermis-
sion stroll and the trips to the dressing
room to renovate her gown and COM
plexion, half mile: grand total, 1111ss
miles.

How Fresh should Fresh Eggs Be?

How comes it that English people,
who would not think of drinking milk
of the day before yesterday, will yet eat
eggs that are fortnight old or more?
The question is propouLded by Edward
Brown of the Durham College of Sci
ence. Mr.. Brown declines to eat eggs
that are more than three days old and
he bids us observe that an egg to be
worth eating should be absolutely
fresh. The root Of the evil, however, is
not the egg eaters Indifference to quail
ity, but simply the difficulty Of getting
farm produce to market. Mr.. Brown
declares that while in continental coun.
tries there is a perfectly organized sys.
tenn of collecting eggs and sending them
away there is in this country no system
whatever for this purpose. It is easier
to bring eggs from Normandy into
Northumberland than to get them from
thirty miles away in the country.-Lon-
don News.

The men and women who handle pens,

SO far as the actual workings of their
departments are concerned, because it is
absolutely impossible for them to learn
the details of the various bureaus OF

President Harrison was unfortunate
in his selection of commissioner OF
pensions in 1889; not that he selected
bad man, or a weak man, but that he
selected a man who was too aggressive
in his work to suit the secretary of the
interior. The result was that the de-
cisions of Corporal Tanner were over
ruled by the secretary and there was a
general rumpus and row, which re-
suited in Tanners resignation. The
president was equally unfortunate in
the selection of commissioner of In
dian affairs. He appointed to that i'm
portant Office a man who believed in
giving the Indians liberal education
and sectarian religion, first and fore
most and above all other things. Sec
rotary Noble once said to me, very
plaintively: 'If there were starving,
