of the boys said to be James Gordon, used
the pump so long that one OF the white

colored persons went away.

panied by some nine or ten colo-ed boys.

Statutes was recognized as an existing ex-
emption law by Congress. The Maris So
ciety and several other institutions were
exempted on the ground that they were
educational Institutions and the property
appurenant thereto and used in connection
Herewith was also exempted, evidently on
the theory that the grounds appurtenlnt
to educational institutions are necessary for
the use thereof. Congress in determining
the extent of exemption makes difference
between churches and educational institu-
tions. Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church
being a church within the meaning OF the
law, is limited to grounds actually Occur
pied by the church buildings.
I'm my opinion the Commissioners are
without authority to exempt from taxation

: LONG DISTANCE DANCING. ;;


Il: "A Chicago physician with a statis-
teal turn of mind has been estimating
the proper distance covered by a wom-
AN in dancing through the ordinary
ballroom programme. :s1Es. ss..s ]. (.
Z, An average waltz, the doctor esti-
mates, takes one over three-quarters of
a mile. A square dance makes you
cover half a mile; the same distance
is covered in a polka, while a rapid
galop will obige you to traverse just
about a mile. - -. - s,...s..
Say there are IL waltzes, which is a
fair average. This alone makes nine
miles. Three galops added to this
makes the distance IL miles, while from
three to five other dances at a half mile
each brings up the total to from 10 to
Is miles. This, too, is without reckon
ing the promenade and the extras.
"As means of exercise" says the
physician, ut will thus be seen that
dancing stands at the head of the list.
In golf, for instance, the major part
of the exercise consists in walking
around the links, following up the ball,
and yet, even in golf, not as much
ground is covered as in an evenings
dancing. - ~ .s.@>
''The atmosphere of the ballroom is
saturated with carbonic acid gas and
dust, laden with germs. While the mus
eles of the legs and calves are being
increased in size the general health is
being impaired by the quality OF the
air. The society belle is not content
with an occasional ball, but attends
one nearly every night. All the benefits
of the exercise disappear and the belle
is left little better for the dancing
