Paradise Near 1n the Dance,

BOSTON, March 24. Dancing, with good and appropriate music and when you feel like it, brings man as near to Paradise, so it seems to me, as he is likely to get" said pr. G. Stanley Hall, president of Clark university, in a lee ture on Rhythm and Dancing in the Second church. "I wish some one would start a dancing school" Dr. Hall continued, 'that would have in it the faith of the prophets. It would be religion, poetry, education: 1t would be health because it would be happiness, whereas work is muscular activity without interest. Fancy what Chris tianity in its early and medieval his- tory would have been if it had not been for dancing!'

Kathryn Brennenthal. He gave his
years as 10, but Notwithstanding his
extreme youthfulness was prepared to
assume the responsibility of husband

Jimmy said. Il wonder by what pro-

another championship, and / missed

'Corbett's' conqueror and will remain
such until 1 fight him again. / did
not lose my fe~atherweight title, for l
did not box Cans for it. You can't
lose something you didn't have at

"Now, in regard to 'Corbett,' l will

/ with Mr.. Nelson. Then we will sit
down and talk over terms and l will
fight him at a weight l think / will be
strong at. 1t may be $50 and it may
be more. I'll do the debating"
Britt is thinking of going to Phila-
delphia to box some six-round bouts.
"I want to keep on fighting" contin-
ued Jimmy. II feel just like it. l
am strong and hearty and 1 am in the
spirit to fight. Shortly I expect to
hear from the east about some

A Curious Chinese Custom.

According to the rule sanctioned
by centuries of Chinese observance,
no document can have the author
ity of the imperial throne of China
unless it bears a red spot pla red
there by the sovereign. To the
grand council the tsungli-yamen
and all other departments to state
take their business, and the grand
council in its turn considers all
documents and attaches to each a
piece of red paper on which its
own decision is written. Each
morning at daybreak the grand
council proceeds to the palace to
submit the papers to the sovereign,
who as each document is produced
signifies approval by making
small spot with a brush on the
margin of the red paper. With
the red spot upon it the paper is
the most sacred thing in the paper
is the most sacred thing in the
world to a Chinaman; without it it
may be town to shreds with i'm
punity.-Leslie's Weekly.

copies of the paper go to that place,
it may be seen how the actual cir

instances fall very far short of in
dicating the actual number of its
readers. In this instance, it also
indicates what a wide and growing
interest in Brownsville and the sur
rounding country exists through
out the state. Mr.. Sullivan. who
is one of the subscribers referred to
at Temple, can hardly get to read
his own copy of THE HERALD, so
anxious are his friends and neigh
bors to see it. He says that every
one is talking about the Browns

coming here to make investments.
