Here is the proper place to observe
that dancing has q bearing on the d.
veioplnent of the social order. The
medicine-men or priests gain and re-
tain political and social powers through
their skill in leading the dance. Ac-
cording to MIR. Beckwith, the high
priest in the religious ceremonies of
the Dakotas is invariably IL chief who,
through these dances. rotains his inlu-
ence in the tribe" Thus, dancing gives
sanction to tho powers of the chief,
and is II of the necessary qualifica-
tions for the office. 1t is thus ass;ci-
ated with position and rank.
In the Vedic age, two Thousand B. c.,
before the rigid division of castles. the
priests were leaders of the dance at
festivals: Later on they became all
powerful Brahmans. The Homeric
chiefs were distinguished. dancers.
Lucian says that Try was taken, Zeus
was saved, and Ariadne ruined by q
dance. And David led the dance before
the ark. The a%ncicnts regarded dane
ing as o airy accomplishment.
Socrates learned the art in his old aye:
while Plato, in his commonwealth. adj
vocated the establishment of dancing
schools. The Romans celebrated thcir.
victories and pastoral festivals by elab-
crate dances. They excellcd in panto-
mime dances, from which the ballet
was evolved. The Emperor Domitian
forbade the Senators to dance. and for
so doing removed several members
from the Senate. Grave statesmen and
politicians of high degree have ex-
celled in the latest of the arts. Both
Sully and Cardinal Richelieu were ex-
pert dancers. Think of the august
cardinal paying his court to Ammo of
Austria, by performing u sarahand be-
o her in TESTERS dress of green vel
vet. with bells on his feet and casta-
nets in his hands!

Fairly Caught,

Tho taking of q thief when pursued
and pursuer r both o. land is by no
means an easy undertaking. When
of the parties is on sea and tho 9th.
err on shore, the difficulties in the way
seem insurmountable. But wit and
tact r not cramped by circumstance,
as the following story shows: A splen-
did steamer was pursuing it's way over
the wide waters of the Volga in tho
direction of the Caspian Sea. 1t was
late in the evening when o young man
stepped up to the captain and request
ed to be put down at the next village
they might come to. The stranger
was set ashore and tho steamer contin-
ued on its journey. Not long after
ward another passenger came in great
excitement to the captain and cried
out: MY travelling bag! Where is it?
My bag with 1900 francs" Tho mans
honesty was not to be questioned. I'M
d~oubtedly he had sustained q serious
loss. The captain had his suspicious.
He told him to be calm and not to mem
ton the affair to q living soul on beard.
at that point. few, if any, of the ships
company noticed that the steamer de-
scribcd a large circle and shaped its
curse upstream. 1t did not altogeth-
err escape observation, however, that a
flag of different colors was hoisted and
a sheet of tarpaulin thrown over the
bulwarks to conceal the name of the
vessel. Presently q sh,ill whistle an
nounced that they were nearing a sta
ton on the river. 1t was the same at
which the young man had landed. The
captain was about to engage in q curious
sort Of fishing and carefully prepared
his bait. A boat pushed Off from the
shore and a man came on deck with q
leather bag in his hand. He turned
out to be the very passenger who had
left tho steamer not long before. and
who, thinking himself, SAFE on board
another vessel, now fell into the hands
of his former captain and the owner of
the stolen property. At first he could
hardly believes his eyes, but all his
doubts were dispersed when the steam-
Ell reversed its course and landed him
at a station" where he is likely to
make q p%rotracted stay. And yet it
has been said that Neptune's sons are
lacking in worldly wisdom.

A Family Laxative,

. PHYSICIANS are not inclined to rec
ommend Standardization to the laity.
Yet there is one need, says the Amer
lean Analyst, which they are unable
to supply. We refer to the .family
laxative" The family physician is
able to prescribe for the most compile
Gated and obscure of maladies, and yet
is often puzzled to know just what to
give when asked for a remedy which
a be kept in the house for family use
as q laxative, that shall be effective,
free from danger, and not unpleasant
to take. When absent on our summer
vacation we ERE asked by four differ
ent parties, representing as many fam
of Figs" Not one word did we vOlun-
teer on the subject, and we were
what surprised to find that there was
this small token of the very general
use of that preparation. These par
ties said they derived more, benefit
from it than anything of the kind they
had ever used. The simple question
with them a is it a dangerous COM
pound?: We informed them that it's
active ingredient was u preparation of
SIENNA, and that it was entirely free
from danger. With this assurance
they volunteered the information that
they should continue to keep it in the
house.
The therapeutical properties of sem
ma T. SO we'll known that comment on
this seems unnecessary. 1t might be
we'll to notice, however, that Bartho-
low says it is "a very safe and service
able cathartic," and that it is ''highly
priced as a remedy for constipation"
He also makes the important observa-
tion that its use sis not followed by in
testinal torpor and constipation"
The simple truth of the matter is,
we have altogether too few prepara-
tions which we can recommend to u
families as effective laxatives. But
the California Fig Syrup Company has
one of the most desirable combinations
for this purpose with which we are
familiar. The Fig Syrup Company
gives to the profession the composition
of this preparation, therefore there is
no secret about it: the persons who
use this laxative speak in the highest
terms about it: and we are pleased to
notice that q large number of physi-
clans are prescribing it.
Viewed from the narrowest and most
selfish standpoint the physician will
lose nothing by recommending such q
preparation as Syrup of Figs to his
patients: while viewed from the high
est standpoint of doing the best possi-
BILE by those who place themselves in
u care, W e would say the profession
cannot do better than give their In
dorsement to such q preparation.

THE pEPosED KHAN. capital OF the
princlpality, also called Khelat, was
occupied by British troops, who thus
chastised the natives for harassing
the British soldiery on their march
through the Bolan pass to Afghanis-
tan. The deposed Khan ruled his
subjects tyrannically, and 1t was for
the murder of his grand vizier and
several Of the notables Of the c0un-
try that the Indian Government de-
posed him. He lived in barbaric
splendor in a'grand palace in Khelat.
The palace is said to contain $751;
900, 900 worth of treasure.
Beloochistan, of which Khelat is a
principality, is generally mountain
Gus. Toward the south and west
there are barren plains. The entire
area is 1856, 900 square miles and the
population less than 5000, 600. In
some of the valleys rice, cotton, to-
bacco, barleyand indigo are produced,
and it is said that lemons grow so
large that a man cannot lift one of
them. Except in freshet seasons
there are few streams. The largest
river is the Doostee, which flows into
the Arabian Sea. 1t is only, ordin-
arily, 90 inches deep and 60 feet wide

mixed Tartar and Persian race. Like
the wild Bedouin tribes they live in
tents. They encase their heads with

The French naturalist, Cuvier,
talked learnedly on his favorite
science, but like some other wise men,
he was inclined to be prolix. When
n knows a subject we'll, he is apt
to like to talk about it, and to forget
that he may be expecting too much
of his listeners.
The Emperor Napoleon expressed
himself concisely, and liked others to
do the same, but he enjoyed listening
to Culver when the scientist would
state his important conclusions with
out too elaborate explanations.
One day Cuvier was a member of an
Academy deputation which visited
the emperor at Saint Cloud. The
emperor greeted him cordially.
@Monsieur Cuvier, 1 am delighted
to see you! What did you do at the
Academy last week?:"
ave studied the beet sugar
question"
"Ah, and what is the opinion of
the Institutes: Docs it consider that
the soil of France is suited to beet
culture?:"
LIZ NucoUlOu was lluplc, DuU
Cuvier answered it like a true savant.
He began with a dissertation on the
geological formation of the ground,
then he considered the natural
history of the beet, and when finally
he drew his conclusions, the emperor
had long since ceased to listen.
When Culver had finished, the EN-
peror hurricdly reused himself from a
fit of abstraction into which he had
fallen.
sMarvelous, Monsieur Cuvier!!" he
said. "But does the Institute con-
slider the sell of France suitable for
beet culture?"
Culver, imagining that Napoleon's
attention had been distracted in some
way, began his argument again, and
went through with it to the end.
The emperor did not consider his
question answered any better this
time. When Cuyier had finished, he
said:
Il thank you very much, sir. The
first time / see your colleague,
Berthollet, 1 shall ask him If the
Institute considers the soil of France
suitable for beet culture. YOUTHS
