THE LATEST IN DANoINd.-Here's the
latest fad for Scranton terpsichorean
deyotees. No more will there be clasping
of hands in round dances. The Ameri-
can Society of Professors of Dancing
have placed their ban on the long pre-
yaillng custom. Hereafter in the waltz
and two-stcp the woman Will manage
her skirts with her right hand, while
the man will allow his left hand to hang
naturally by his side. No other attitude
will be considered good form.
The American Society of Professors
of Dancing debated for two days over
the change. Just before the close OF the
convention the new position was adopt
ed, Here is the official description APP
plying to all round dances.
"The gentleman holding the lady by
the waist with his right hand, his left
hand falling naturally by his side; the
left hand of the lady resting upon the
gentleman's upper arm, her right hand
lightly holding the dress"

other. Of course there is no implied
or stated agreement that the house
shall use any one form Of nitrogen or
any particular kind of potash. AS a
rule their statements in regard to the
composition of their fertilizers are so
general that nearly any substance NAV
be used as a source of ammonia, and
most of the forms of potash may be
interchanged and possibly exclude
acid phosphate.
The compilation of opinions from va
rious pineapple growers mentioned
above gave authority for cOndemning
any form of ammonia that was Offer
ed for sale on the market. Also any
form of potash that was being sold.
Under these conditions the diligent in,
quirer after opinions found himself de-
cidedly at sea. On the other hand as
stated above it is not difficult to find
people of more than local standing to
advocate the use of any form of COM
mercial fertilizers that were on the
market. Undoubtedly, most of the
opinions are founded upon experience,
costing the grower considerable
amount of money.
The bulletin makes a publication of
considerably over 100 pages, and
should be in the hands of all interest
ed in the pineapple industry. 1t will
be mailed free to any address on aD-
plication to the Experiment Station,
Lake City.

jeering children who cried, "See, these
people have no goitres," as if to be with
out goitre was a physical deficiency.
Similarly, the prevalence of irregular
periods among young women, and the
commences of facilitating drains
among married women have created
the mischievous idea that these are the
natural conditions of womanhood.
In normal health the periods should
be regular and painless and there should
be neither drains nor pains for the mar
ried woman. To regain that normal
condition of health is possible to every
