Gypsy Dancing Girls of Seville.

In The Century Mr.. Stephen Bonsal
writes Of "Eoly Week In Seville"
He says: On returning homeward
we enter q gypsy garden, where, in
bowers of jasmine and honcysuckle, the
Gaditan dancing girls disport them
selves rs they did in the days of the
poet Martial. Penthelrsa ~ as 1 .Nceful
and as lissom today rs when, IN the
ages gone, she captured Pompey with
her subtle dance--as when Martial de-
fcanted upon her beauties and graces in
classic words centuries ago.
Tho hotel Keepers in Seville are gen.
orally very careful to Introduce their
patrons only to gardens where the Bow
dlerizod editions of the dance are per-
formed, but commend to those who
think they can "sit it ont" the archaic
versions which arc danced naturally to-
day, as they were in the days of the
Caesars, by light lmbed enchainers Of
hearts and flamenco girls with brown
skins and cheeks that are soft like the
side of the peach which is turned 10 the
ripening sun, and in their dark, lus-
trous eyes you read as plain as print the
story of the sorrows and the Joys Of q
thousand years of living.
Now they dance about with thu grace
Of houris, the abandon Of in9nads or Of
nymphs before Acteon peeped, and
now, when the dance is over, the mo-
ment of madness past, they cover their
feet with shawls that you may not sec
how dainty they are, and withdraw Sc
dately and sad from the merry circle
and sit for hours under the banana trees,
grooming softly some mournful ouplet in
the crooked gypsy tongue.

Corn bread.

There is no moro wholesome, palata-
BILE and strengthening article of food in
the whole catalogue than corn bread. 1t
is truly the staff of life of the rural Ia :
boring classes in the south from years
beginning to years end. Among tho
brawniest, toughest men in the country
are the hands who work ON the turpen-
tine farms in Georgia. Their regular
rations consist of one peck of cornmeal,
five pounds of bacon and a pint of mo-
lasses per week. These articles consti-
tute pretty nearly if not quite their
whole bill of fare during the time they
are in the woods cutting OF chipping
boxes or dipping turpentine, yet they
are always well conditioned, hard of
muscle and in good spirits. s.-Savannah

Asked For a shirt and Got wife.

During the civil war there was cer-

for the Confederate soldiers confined
in prison mt Washington. Young, beau

and prominent family, she was fire.

with well stocked basket of goc0

One day rs she was passing through q
group of men in tho common prison she
stopped and said to them:
"If there is anything you would like
to have that | can bring You, won't you
let me know? l shall be very glad.
One man stepped forward promptly
Bowling most courteously, he said:
/" If you will be SO kind, ] should like
very much to have n clean shirt"
He was a young lieutenant from
Louisiana, one of the handsomest and
most elegant men ever met, and when
that young lady looked up into his
brown eyes she found it in her heart to
give him much more than clean shirt,
for she married him as soon as the war
was over.-Philadelphia Times.

Male Eelinity.

"Talking about the humanity of man

little story Of man and cat. The

better how to relieve the tedium of Il

where this cat showed superior mental

the mouse, thus protracting the amuse-
ment. She kept it in an old shoe in Il
storeroom. The man Of the house dis
covered the proceeding and was almost
as much amused as the cat. Did he put
o stop to it? No, indeed. For several
days he fed both the cat and the mouse,
after which tho cat would take the
mouse out for its daily exercise, to the

Biting Finger Nails.

The chief finger nail chewers Of tho
world are the French, and it was re-
Gently stated upon reliable authority
that nearly two thirds of French school
children are addicted to the habit.
Even for grown people there is hard
ly any habit, aside from the confirmed
abuse Of narcotics, more difficult to
overcome than the habit of Bit lg the
finger nails. It requires strong mental
effort and constant vigilance to do this,
for once a person has become thorough
ly addicted to tho habit he does it un-
consciously, and is only reminded that
he is marring himself when he gets one
of his nails gnawed down to the quick.
All manner of remedies have been ad-
vanced for the cure of the finger nail
biting habit, including the placing of
injurious and bitter compositions on tho
ends Of the fingers, but none of the rem
edies amounts to much.
The only way to stop biting the fin
ger nails is to stop. The Americans arc
next TO the French in tho finger nail
biting habit, probably because the
Americans, as whole, are an exceed
ingly nervous people. A man who ac'
complishes his determination G. knock
off biting his finger nails may, by in
cessant manicuring, get them 10 look
fairly well within u year or so, but fin
ger nail biting, If long persisted i'll,

to look as well as those of the persons
who permit their nails to grow as they
were intended TO grow. Washington

Of TASKS passed to him. He received all

that we should be much better off. We
very much doubt it. If our more man

we should be better off. But there is
freakiness and finicalness, an inability
to give and take, n general rubbing and
creaking Of machinery among men de.
veloped only on the one side Cf the

them Objectionable as rulers. Boxing
