Sixteen years ago a senator of the Ita1-
Ian parliament, while coming down an
Alpine glacier at the height of $4,000
feet, dropped his coat in crevasse. He
was informed by the guides, knowing
the ANIMAL rate of glacial movement,
that it would probably come out from
the mouth of the glacier in about seven
teen years. Last August party of
tourists saw Il coat in the moraine, and,
on examination, it is claimed to have been
the senator's. Philadelphia Ledger.

The Danse du yentrs.

For my part l fail to see where tire
present style of kicking, or the displays
of the leg dramas. or the very decollete
bodices and abbreviated skirts of the
ballet dancer have any advantages over
the sinuous movements of Egypt. ORR
entails, Japan for example, dance with
their hands. Western peoples dance
with their legs. Look at the rigid
bodies of Pat and the American clog
dancer. France and Italy have brought
all the body into action. whereby grace
is sometimes attained.
The midorient confines dancing to
abdominal gyration, marvellous as gym
nastics and absolutely impossible to
women who have ever worn corsets.
Such development and control of alb
dominal muscles as are exhibited by the
dancing girls in Chicago Cairo would,
If possessed by American women, be the
salvation of the race. Invalidism would
be impossible, and children would be
born healthy. Other than as gymnas-
tics the danse du ventre has no interest
whatever. 1t has neither grace nor
beauty, the dancers are not attractive,
and their persisting in wearing French
heels denotes incapacity on their part to
appreciate the eternal fitness of things
Vulgar men and women who have set
up howl against this performance
would do well to look around the
American ballroom and dinner table
and discover like food for prurient
fancy. am quite sick of Comstockian
morality.-Kate Field.

THE butter makers of Ireland have
very largely lost the trade they had
in supplying the English market.
One reason is that much OF the but
ter was made in houses heated by
peat, and the smoke from this fuel
gave the butter a disagreeable faint.
1t is true also that many of the irish
dairy maids found that they could
do better in America and have be-
come residents of the United States.

A very large per cent of these cases
of deafness and roaring noises is due
to the extension of catarrh to the
eustachian tubes and inner ears.
Many of the most remarkable cures
that have been accomplished by the
physicians of the Scott Medical In
stitute have been in the restoration
of hearing lost or dulled3 from Ca
tarrhal extension. 1t is folly to wait
fer a trouble like this to get well it
self. 1t don't get well, but always
gets worse, until frequently the hear
ing is entirely destroyed. A thor
ough course of treatment with ca
pable specialist, who goes right at
the cause of the trouble and removes
it, is the only hope.
Dr. Wilson and his medical asso-
ciates cure all cases of deafness
caused by catarrh.

The Civic value of the Teacher.

Since the days of Aristotle and his
predecessor, Plato, there has, think,
been no great ethical or political writer
who has ignored what ] may perhaps
call the civic value Of education. Soc
rates himself (if indeed the "Theages"
is good authority, In a passage which
is possibly familiar TO you as II is quot
ed by Roger Ascham in "The Scholemas-
ter" enunciates the opinion that ''noone
goeth about n more godhe purpose than
he that is mindful of the good bringing
up both Of hys owne and other mems chill

ice" says Cicero, "can we render TO the
state than by teaching and educating the
young"

Christian authority TO tho judgment Of
the refined pagan world, exclaims,
