1T was the intention of Mr.. and

their time was limited and steam

voyage.
Mrs. Birnie will return on May

probable they will stop over here.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Dancing Defended.

Dancing Defended.
 Editor of Ners:
 My attention has been called to an action of the Willimantic 0. E, Union in which they have passed resolution entreating all connected with the soci- ety to refrain from attending or abetting dancing and card parties. One of their most sweeping assertions against danc- ing reads like this:
 IL is difficult also for thinking eople to understand how certain attitudes and privileges Can be innocent, chaste and moral when enjoyed in public or while music Is playing aud yet the very same attitudes and privileges be universally condemned as improper, unchsste and immoral when assumed in private or unsccompsnied with music.
 The question arises Is the waltz posi- ton universally condemned as im- proper, unchaste and immoral whether assumed in private or elsewhere. It seems to me that in regard to the priv ileges, that circumstances alter cases. A gentleman in attendance at & dance has the privilege of inviting a lady, to whom he has been introduced, to dance and he assumes the waltz position with nothing in his schooling as gentle man which at the least hints Of the m chaste or immoral. This Is equally true of the lady in the case. It is a,p using to me to see this religious or ganization make this statement about dancing attitudes, when have not heard that the old church sociable game of '.Jacob and Ruth" has been abolished from any of the churches. To any une who has seen game of "Jacoh, here am I" and dancing party, I will leave the question at which they no- ticed the most improper attitudes.
 The waltz position is: Gentleman and lady stand facing each other g slight distance apart. Gentleman sup. ports lady by placing right hand back of her. ladies' left hand lying loosely on gentleman's arm. Lady and gentleman extend free arm and clasp hands. As a teacher of dancing the idea of this at titude as being improper never has en. tered my head or that of any of the scholars that I can find. Some of the best people in the country fail to see any thing improper iu dancing, rightly conducted-snd nything can be done wrongly and produce evil results and doubt very much if any of the people drawing those Willimantic resolutions know very much about dancing and it' positions. Surely the attitude of help ing a lady alight from a bugy must bs held in suspicion by that c. E, Union for that attitude would not be consider ed proper, chaste and moral if practiced without the buggy, or when no one elss was looking.
 Dancing as an exercise is one of ths best, standing next to swimming Socially it is being proven very bene ficiaI; and as healthy amusement fol both sexes has no equal.

Great Mt Inyentin; Torture.

China seems to have succeeded in
reaching tho highest pinnacle of terri.
bio punishmcnts. For instance, Of
ono Of the treaty ports some time ago
an offender was placed in q cage,
through the top of which his head
protruded, and which was just deep.
enough for his toos to touch the bot.
tom. Suspended thus, with just
enough support from the tips of his
toes to prevent the dislocation of his
neck, he was left till he was starved to
death. Psrricides, according to the
extreme penalty of the law, are cut to
pieces, the murderer being suspended
from cross and while in this position
cut repeatedly about the foshy parts
of his body; finally lie is decapltatcd.
Offenders of high rank are stran-
gled, the prise ner being given q silken
cord and instructed to perform the
operation with his own hands. In 1861
u prince of blood was sent to strangle
himself, but he refused to do 80, and
his jallers had to carry out the sen.
tence. .Decapitation has become a
fine art, tho block not being used, but
the victims neck is stretched as far
as possible and he is then deprived of
his head by single stroke OF the long
sword. Stocks arc in frequent use in
tho punishment Of minor ofenses.-

CCONONlZlNG WITH MANURE.

1t never pays to stint the manure
dressing in any crop that requires much
labor to grow it. Al the labor is made
more effective in proportion IS the soil
is made more fertile. In other words,
on rich land crops that require most
labor may be grown with profit, while
on poor soil the balance will be on the
loss side Of the account. The proper
idea Of ecoEomiZing with manure is to
apply it where it will most aid in H.
creasing soil fertility. This is in every
case where a part Of the benefit of the
manure will be soon applied to growing
q large clover crop.

FREAK o. PARIS DANES,

The last new craze in Paris is said
to DO the wearing of lighted lantern
as d personal ornament. The fashion
originated with speculative manu-
facturer, whose ''petites lanterncs"
were bought by tens of thousands at
the fair at Neuilly.
eThe lantern is very small and neat,
and made in Gothic form after al
ancient model. 1t is only Of tin, but
is sufficiently solid, has well-httea
glass plates, is about the size OF a wa
nut, burns for some hours and is sold
at the price of six sous. Almost every
body who returned from the Neuilly
Fair to Paris, as correspondent tells
US, looked as if he were outward|y
symbolizlng the midsummer saint.

Mrs. SaWyer's $4,000 Cow.

It was in 1881, when Mr.. Sawyer
was seeking his first election to the
United States Senate, that Colonel
Calkins said to him: "Mr. Sawyer,
one of the Winaebago County
Assemblymen, Mr.. Jones, here, is all
right on the bill which proposes to
pay me for work I did for the state
over twenty years ago, but I don't
know how the others stand. wish
you would fix them up for me-.
OF course the Colonel was jesting.
Mr.. Sawyer was amused, and told one
of the few funny stories he ever in
dulgel in.
"Celkins." said tho Senator, "your
request for help on that printing bill
reminds me Of IN experience / had q
good many years ago. When We were
living on my farm at Rosendale it be-
came necessary to sell COW. The
buyer wanted y certain COW or none at
ell. It happened to be the COW I had
given to my wife. I went into the
house and told my wife. She, the
good soul, said: Sell her, but want
the money sold the COW, gave my
wife couple OF dollars and eaid !:
Gull on me when you want more.
When she wanted to buy dress. bon
net or wedding present she would ask
for some of that COW money. I had
paid back several thousand dollars of
the COW money and was wondering
when the demand would cease. A
house was built. It had to be fur
nished. We figured up what the fur
nishing would cost. It amounted to
several thousand dollars. I said !:
'Wife, I'll pay you the balance of
that COW money and you can pay for
furnishing the house with it, It was
bargain, and tho COW deal was
over"
The $40 COW cost the old Senator
not far from $4,000, but he never
complained at tho pcice.-Chicogo

BRAN A VALUABLE FOOD.

Bran is much more highly thought
Of as feed than 1t used to be. But 1t
has Its limitations and should not be
relied upon entirely when fed alone. 1t
L an excellent feed to give to animals
that have q surfeit Of corn, and should
always form part Of the ration Of
tatening sheep.
Fine wheat mi1dlinss have al Of
tile excellencies OF bran, and will be
eaten in greater quantities. by fatten-
Ing hogs. The bran and wheat mid
alIngs furnish greater proportion of
albuminoids than corn has, ard there
fore, supplement- its Deficiencies.
Wheat bran Is an excellent Alternative
for horses fed on timothy hay in win,
ter 1t will keep their digestion coed
and will be all the better if a table
spoonful Of old process oil meal is adj
ded to each mess. Wheat middlings
are not as laxative as bran, and are
better therefore for horses that have
10 work hard. though both the bran
anu mlddlings contain much Of the
nutllment that builds up bone and
muscle and increases strength.-Col,
