DANCING.-A distinguished cler.
gyman, in one of his sermons,
made these remarks on dancing:
people ask, frequently, do you
think there is any harm in dane
ing" No, l do not. think there
is much good in it. do you OBJ
ject, then, to dancing parties p
No, not of themselves do not. But
where unknit youth, where unripe
muscle, where uhhardened nerves
are put through excess of excite
ment, with stimulants, with irreg-
ular food, and food that is un-
wholesome; where a gayety that is
excessive is INDUCED in by the
young all through the nights when
they shou Id be sleep, object to it.
why? Because it is dancing 2
No, but because it is dissipation.
1t is taking the time that God un-
questionably meant for sleep, and
put it to the highest state Of exhil-
aration and excitement. The fault
does not lie in the fact that they
dance. Why, if it were as the peas
ants dance; il it were in the open
air. and under o tree, and upon the
grass, and in the comely hours of
a sunshiny day, it might be praised,
even. 1t would not be a virtue;
but it would belong to those mega
tive things that are beautiful. But
the wassail of the night, and the
wastefulness, ] will not say of pre-.
cious hours, but of precious nerves
for hours are not so precious as
nerves are; the eating out of life
by indulgence is dreadful. And
to see it pursued night after night,
and week after week, and through
the whole season, is painful in the
extreme. Blessed be God for Lent.

How TO MANAGE A DAUGHTER.
First. You can't do it.
Second. Give her her own way:
it will save her the trouble of taking
it.
Third. Pay for her dresses, if you
can afford to. Her dressmaker will
sue you if you don't.
Fourth. If she takes a fancy to
any man you do not want her to
marry, tell her you swear she shall
never marry any one else. You can
then give her a free hand, and she
wouldn't have him il he was the
only man left.
Fifth. IL there is any man you
want her to marry, kick him ont of
your house, order the servants never
to admit him, distribute man-traps
and spring-guns aud bulldogs all
around your yard. lock her up in
her room and vow if she marries
him you won't leave her a penny.
You will not have to wait long after
that for the elopement.
Sixth. If she has no voice en-
courage her to sing whenever you
give party. 1t will attract atten-
ton to her and give your guests an
excuse for complimenting her.
Never mind the neighbors.
Seventh. If you are a poor man
teach your daughter how to dance
and play the piano. She can learn
cooking and dressmaking and those
things after she is married.

Hopeful youth with rosy face,
Struggling in the mortal race,
Never wearied, never tired
Ever by the thought inspired,
That for every pain we borrow
Comes redemption in the morrow.
Sacrificing strength and soul,
Striving, striving for the goai
That awaits the life tomorrow;
Spurning flowers Of today
For the blossoms rich array
OF tomorrow. Of tomorrow.
L;stless age with wIthered face,
Difting in the mortal race,
Worn and helpless, lone and weary,
Gazing through the shadows dreary,
Ofthe long, long night Of sorrow
For the sunrise Of the morrow;
Drifting, drifting To the sea
OF eternal mystery,
While the world repeats Tomorrow.
Thus il speeds the soul from strife,
Thus il greets the new born life,
With Tomorrow" aye, tomorrow.

Diet For the Aged,

I find, says writer in The Gentle
mans Magazine, that if old people
are put on good meat diet in the
way of strong soup, beef tea and ami
NAL food, and only just sufficient fa
rinaceous food and fats and sugar to
maintain the heat of the body, they
increase wonderfully in energy-as
they often express it, feel 20 years
younger. This is only natural; it is
a food of energy, the food that builds
up muscle, nerve and constitutional
stamina.
The requirements of the system of
old age, as rule, are not very great,
and more harm is done by taking too
much food than by taking too little.
I have known people considerably
over 70 to derive the greatest benefit
from u thorough change in diet. 1t
seems to rejuvenate them. Of course
in old age care should be taken that
the body is not subjected to rapid
changes in temperature. When the
nervous power is decreasing, as the
result of old age, and the system is
losing power Of combating cold and
strain upon its energy, a stimulating
diet invigorates and Is conducive to
maintaining constitutional stamina
better than any other.

The Pronunciation of Arkansas.

agitation in the state Legislature of
Arkansas i'll regard to the state name
being mistaken by its similarity to
the name of Kansas. One very zeal

the legal pronunciation of the state

SATURN'S FAMOUS KINGS.
A Phenomenon Unlike Anything Else I'm
the Whole Solar SyStem.


Every one who has given the least
attention possible to astronomical
curios knows that Saturn presents a
phenomenon to which there is moth
ing analogous in the whole of the
collar system-two broad, flat and
very thin rings being his constant at
tendants in his trips around the sun.
Galileo first noticed a peculiarity in
the appearance of this 1inged planet,
which he said appeared like a large
body placed between two smaller
ones" Huygens first described the
rings and figured them for the bene-
fit of those not fortunate enough to
own a telescope.
The breadth of these rings from the
outer diameter of the larger to the
inner edge Of the smaller has been
computed at $4,000 miles; total d.
ameter of the outer ring, 1870
miles, and a space of 10, 900 miles is
supposed to intervene between the
inner edge Of the small ring and the
surface of the planet itself.
The composition of these rings, or,
rather, this system OF rings-some
authors mention three and even four,
although l have mentioned but two
in the opening, which seems to be
the number accorded by the majority
of writers-i is simply matter of con-
lecture. Some astronomers claim
that they are composed of material
similar to that of the planet itself,
while others are sure that they are
composed of numerous satellites
(moons) mingled with vaporous mat
ter travelling in planes"
Maxwell says, The rings must be
formed Of separate PARTICLES moving
around the planet as independent
satellites According to Otto Struve,
observations on the rings for a period
over 200 years prove beyond a doubt
that they are widening, and that the
lower edge Of the inner one is slowly
but certainly approaching the body
of the planet. st. Louis Republic.
