the many friends of Judge Durham were

'The merits of the dance are: First,
it satisfies the love of social life. The
average home is too small for dancing,
hence it is essentially hail amusement.
1t needs space. time and music. Prop
erly conducted, company carefully Sc
lected. hours limited, the social advan-
tages of the dance are real and whole
some.
Second, the naturalness toward each
other. which men and women acquire,
is one of the chief merits of dancing. 1t
is the safest thing one can do from the
standpoint of social purity to allow the
sexes that degree of familiarity that
each is unconscious of the sex of the
other. That it brings the sexes togeth-
| er is its chief merit, although therein
| lies its chief danger The dance of to-
| day among sensible, self controlled peo-
| pie, finds this relation of the sexes
strictly proper and perfectly natural.
Third, it develops gracefulness of
! movement and manners. AWkWardness
i is no virtue and clumsiness is not neces-
sary to righteousness. In fact, grace
in speech, movement and personal car
riage is necessary to give Christian life
| it's winsome charm. The fact that
dapcing in many forms is to be taught
in the Yale gymnasium shows that sen
sible. earnest men find in it something
| of real value in the development of the

'If Christians are in earnest in their
desire to save the world; if they really

GEOLOGIC MAP OF MAINE BEGUN

The United States Geological Survey Studies
Areas.
Geologic mapping for folio publica-
ton has been begun by the United
States Geological Survey in Maine The
area selected for the first work of the
kind in this State was the Penobscot
Bay region, and during the last season
the rock formations in the towns of
Bluehill, Surry, Penobscot, Brooksville,
Sedgwick, and Brooklyn were examined.
The Bluehill quadrangle, which has al
ready been mapped geographically in
cooperation with the State of Maine, in :
cludes region of geologic and economic
interest. The metamorphic SchiSts,
which are found to occur over large
areas. form the country rock of the
mineraliZed zones which We're at one
time extensively prospected for copper
and the precious metals. Granite OF
the best quality is quarried at Il number
of localities, while more basic igneous
rocks also occur within the area.
Names leading position in the value of
the granite quarried makes it impor-
tant to even further develop the indus
try by exact delimitation of the granite
areas, and to study carefully this and
other massive rocks suitable for struc-
tural and monumental work.
Upon the completion of the survey of
this region, which was begun last au-
tumn by George Otis Smith, geologist, a
folio will be published containing full
descriptions of the Penobscot Bay Sec
tion of the State, special attention
being given to the natural resources.
The bearing which such geologic inves-
legations may have upon the question
of an adequate supply of pure water
promises to be important in many To-
calities on the Maine coast, where the
number of summer residents is increas-
ing rapidly.

''From the higher standpoint dancing
must be Judged. The modern dance
conducted by persons of intelligence
and refinement is a proper. and whole
some recreation.
ut has been woefully abused, as has
everything else, including the church.
Three abuses must be named: First the
extreme decollete dress, which strikes
growing number of people as indeli
cate Many of us would much prefer
never to see a mother or sister so scant-
lily clad. Second, the ballet, or any
dance where the lower limbs are eX-
posed These are degenerate forms of
the dance and appeal to depraved taste
The effect upon the dancer must be to
harden feelings of propriety or feminine
delicacy, While the effect upon the
spectator is by no means a spiritual
one. Third, the all-night dance. Mod
crate exercise makes for cheelfulness
and increased energy. The all-nlght
dance depends upon excitement and is
sues in debility of body and soul. The
public all-night dance, with its promls-
cuous company, its fetid atmosphere,
is the worst form of amusement known
to modern life.

An Old Maids Philosophy.

We may be better after suffering, and
we may be worse; but our conditions
must depend upon ourselves, and should
never be laid to the nature of our ca
lamities.
The fountains of the eternally vir-
ginal spring in every human heart, and
keep the world of new emotions peren-
nially fresh and beautiful; and to each
of us is given the right not only to pos
sess them, but the obligation to cherish
them.
The only sorrow worth anything in
this world is sorrow for others, and
sorrow for others means helping 9TH
ers, not hugging our woes to ourselves.
For believe that the really brave and
the really great make us forget their
scars, all the records of their hurts and
wounds.
To me it had seemed :. that those
who occupied centers of affection should
be less concerned with what came to
them as their due, than with what went
out from them as their obligation; that,
like the sun itself, they should be Gen.
ters of centrifugal forces, radiating,
through the very fullness OF their joy,
light and gladness into other lives.-

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not grippe
nor weaken the system. They cure bilious
ness, jaundce, constipation and inactive
livers, by arousing the secretions, moving
the bowels gently, yet etfectually, and Civ.
ing such tone and strength to the glands of
the stomach, liver and bowels that the cause
of the trouble is removed entirely. These
famous little pills exert a decided tonic ei-
feet upon the organs involved, and if their
use is continued for few days there will
be no return of the trouble. r. ii. Moody.
