Why Dead RfverP

Inc western branch of the Kennebec

because in 1775 it was full of drowned
soldiers. So one may read. But there
IS not syllable of truth in it, And the
next picture conjured up by the name
a doleful Styx. turbid and miasmatic
IS equally false. The plain fact is that
the river flows for long distance
through meadows. and unless the wa.
ter is high it scarcely seems to move
at all. That is why it has been called

name. A delectable and captivating
stream is Dead river.-Century.

Spanish dances have a certain resem
blance to the dances of the east. II
our country ones idea of a dance is
something in which the movement is
que to the legs. In Japan and in Egvpt
the legs have very little to do with the
dance. The exquisite rhythms of Jan
ahese dances are produced by the sub
Tie gesture of hands, the manipuIation
OF scarfs, the delicate undulaticns of
the body. In Arab dances and in the
danse du ventre the legs are more near
~ motionless. The legs are only used
TO assist in producing the extraordi-
nary movements of the stomach and
the hips in which so much of the dance
consists.
1t is a dance in which the body sets
ltself to its own rhythm. Spanish
dancing, which no doubt derives its
eastern color from the Moors. is al
most equally a dance of the whole
Dody ana its particular characteristic

Christmas Declared Illegal.

held by the strong hand of the law
Holly and mistletoe were DESTROYED

cred impious by the superstitious.
When Oliver Cromwell was protact-
or, he ordered all the most important
towns in England not to observe
christmas, as he considered If TO no q
hurtful custom.
Yet a stricter law he commanded to
be Kept so that people might FORGET
Christmas. That was that all the mar.

In discussing the proposed exhib=

it and changing it in details to con

luth has undergone some import
ant changes since 1891, and the ma .
will be fixed up accordingly. The
