the issues OF the day in a manner both frank and
fearless, letting the facts speak for themselves

How the Wends Dance.

The serska reja is pantomimic dance
Each couple has it's own turn of leading
The cavalier places his partner in front
of him, facing her, and while the band
keeps playing and the company singing
one Of those peculiarly stirring Wendish
dance tunes he sets about adjuring her
to grant him his desire and dance with
him. She stands stock still, her arms
hanging down flop by her side. The
cavalier capers about. shouts, strikes
his hands against his thighs, kneels,
touches his heart-with the more dra-
matte force the better. At length the
lady gives way, and in token of consent
raises her hand.
Briskly do the two spin around now
for the space of eight bars, after which
for eight more they perform something
like a cross between a chassez croisez
and a Jig, and so on for little while
after which the whole company joins in
the same performance. AS finish the
cavalier islands" the band and his part
ner some liquor, and a merry round
dance concludes his turn of leading to
the accompaniment of tune and song,

When Labouehere Was Mt Etop.

There Is a characteristic story of
Henry Labouchere in his Elton days
For some reason or other the head mas
ter decreed that he should get fog
ging. He went through his Aogging
like man, as one would expect who
knows how much real grit, obstinaoy
and will lie underneath his superficial
tiles. Then he insisted that he should
get possession Of the birch which had
been the instrument of his punishment.
There is, 1t seems, or there was, a tradi-
ton at Elton that the culprit had right
to his birch, and after some argumenta-
ton, in which Labby defended his point
with characteristic tenacity and re-
source, the birch was handed over to
him.
In Truth, about two years ago, Eabby
had good deal to say about school disci-
pine, and mentioned that in his day at
Elton the extreme punishment was a
birching, consisting of from four to ten
cuts. 81 ought to know something
about il" he wrote, "for have endured
it in every degree from four to ten."-

A Prediction That win Come True

/ believe it was the distinguished
gentleman from Massachusetts,, Gen.
Collins, who declared there were no
Democrats in this Union that would
vote against that ticket; but there are
behind him two heroes whose deeds
have not escaped the attention of his
tory-two heroes who have lead the
Union armies to victory and who have
never made faces at the vanquished foe /;
and they will tell you ,here that the
soldier vote of New York, of whom
there are $1,000 at least Democratic,
will not support the nomination of Mr..
Cleveland, and did not support it in
1888. [Gen. Sickles rose fin his place
among the New York delegation and
said: "No, no, never" There were
three cheers and Kisses heard about the
hall and in the galleries. From Burke

How they sigh for the good old times.
How meekly they submit to the tor
lures imposed. Why don't they buy up
the modiste that DEGREES the fashion and
have it fixed to suit themselves? They
simply break out in poetry and say:
Oh, dear delightful days that are no more,
Appreciated now as ne'er before;
Days when our dresses did not sweep the
street
Nor tan0le up the unwary walkers feet,
When fashion had not issued the decree
That II our gowns the pocket should not
be.

A useful appliance has been intro
duced in hospitals in the shapeof com.
press heater and sterilizer. There is no
moistening or wringing of hot cloths
necessary. 1t does away with the use of
oiled silk or cotton, as it cannot wet bed
clothes and will retain heat longer than
the ordinary compress, and the COM
presses may be applied TO different pa
tients without washing, as they may be
easily sterilized and freed entirely from
ger1ns.-New York Telegram.

According to DR.. Chapman, the prac-
tice of allowing forest trees to grow in
our gardens ''only prejudices the health
of our families" The so called purify
ing power of vegetation is fallacy. If
carbonic acid gas is absorbed by trees
IN the daytime it is exhaled during the
night. Dense foliage prevents a free
current Of air, excludes the sunlight,
causes damp and so on, and maladies
without number are the result. DR..
Chapman's warning seems hardly neces-
sary, in our large cities at least.-Lon-
don Tit-Bits.
