Spanish Dances,

Spanish dances have a certain resem-
blance to the dances Of the east. In
our country ones idea of Il dance is
something in which the movement is
due to the legs. In Japan and in Egypt
the legs have very little TO do with the
dance. The exquisite rhythmS of Jap
anese dances are produced by the sub
tie gesture of hands, the manipulation
of ScarfS, the delicate undulatiOns 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 dance in which the body sets
itself to it's own rhythm Spanish
dancing, which no doubt derives it's
eastern color from the Moors, is al
most equally dance of the whole
body, and it's particular characteristic
the action of the hips-is due to a
physical popularity of the Spaniards,
whose spines have special and unique
curve of their own.

Recently in a Sunday school the
teacher was telling her class Of small
pupils the interesting story of Samson,
of whom she spoke as being the stron-
gest man that ever lived.
Little Ethel, a golden haired new re-
cruit, listened to the story with great
interest After the teacher had finished,
Ethel held up her chubby hand.
"Well, Ethel" asked the teacher,
what is it?''
Samson wusnt as strong as my
papa is"

PrODH etic Dreams.

The belief in prophetic dreams is not
entirely superstition, according to
the results obtained by two members
Of the French institute, They point
out that at night when the senses are
at rest the brain is affected particular
ly by organic feelings in various parts
of the body and that early symptoms
of advancing diseases give Il particular
direction to the dreams. A familiar in
stance is nightmare, which indicates a
dyspeptic condition. Immoderate drink
ers see rats, snakes and insects in their
dreams before the actual outbreak Of
delirium tremens, and so on.

Queer Beliefs They Held About the
UnexpIored Ocean.


Unexplored Ocean.
The laEdlocked Mediterranean. which
was the only sea known to the Romans
and Greeks of twenty odd centuries
ago, was filled with mysterious terrors,
while the more distant lands bordering
on it We're the abodes of wonders and
strange peoples. Gods of monstrOus
shapes ruled the waters, enchanting
sirens dwelt on the islets and rocks, and
on the dry land beyond were to be
found weird enchantresses, fire breath
ing beasts, fierce pygmies and dreadful
cannibals. Adventurous voyagers who
got as far as the pillars of Hercules,
now called the strait of Gibraltar,
brought back intelligence that the great
ocean beyond was not navigable. 1t
was part of the mighty river which
flowed around the fiat earth in an I'M
ending stream.
Tradition says that there was in those
times at Gibraltar stone pillar 100 Gu
bits high, with a brass statue on it and
an inscription stating this to be the linn
it Of navigation. Beyond was ''sea of
darkness" infested with terrors beyond
the power of the Imagination to con-
ceive. Occasionally a bold navigator
did, nevertheless venture outside into
the Atlantic, but was compelled to turn
back very quickly. A whirlwind would
arise and threaten to swamp the vessel,
or, more alarming still, gigantic hand,
supposed to be that of Satan, would
emerge from the ocean of eternal gloom
and warn back the mariners.
Not merely on these accounts was
the ocean impracticable for ships. 1t
was reported to be so dense with salt
ness and so crowded with seaweeds and
huge beasts that Roadway could not be
made through it. Even up to the time
Of Columbus such beliefs prevailed,
and his crews were terrified ON entering
the Saragossa sea by the weeds and
calms

RarOmeters and Dust.

When the barometer falls, the air
around expands into a larger volume
and the air inside the cupboard also
expands and forces itself out at every
minute creyice. When the barometer
rises again, the air inside the cupboard.
rs well as outside, condenses and
shrinks and the air is forced back into
the cupboard to equalize the pressure,
and along with the air in goes the dust.
The smaller the crevice, the stronger
the jet Of air, the farther goes the dirt.
Witness the dirt tracks so often seen
photographs. Remember, whenever
you see the barometer rising, that an
additional charge of dust is entering
your cupboard and drawers.
