The following from Outing, concerning
 Christian Dancing" as 1t is practicsd by the Georgia craclxers is somewhat similar to some of the fine distinctions Af right and wrong as expressed in the con duct of some of the members of our more intellectual class; such as mo cards" but finch" is all right. No gambling," but "raffie" for 'cbarity's sweet sake is the correct thing, etc. <,
 Would 1t not be well to look upon the larger evils with the natural eye, rather than. search for the smaller ones with magnifying glass?
 "Straining at the gnat" is a much mora diverting occupation to many than "swal- lowing the camel SO the latter is apt 10 be quickly done," while the former is dwelt upon as a delicious and important undertaking.
 Crickboro is a typical small village in the northern part of Georgia, says Out ing. There are perhaps a dozen houses in the hamlet, with others scattered at intervals along all the roads of the Va cinity. Every church in the region has it's annual all-day sing, and this is per- haps the greatest pleasure of the yedf. There are. however, various lesser pleas ures, especially in winter. Then they have parties with an accompaniment of dancing, if girls enough are present who do not belong to the church. But most of the young women join the church at fifteen or sixteen and after that will not indulge in so doubtful an amusement. Yet they have no hesitation in taking part in Stealing Partners" "Twistifi- cation and Fancy Four''-games which do not diner much in dancing except in name.
 "The way we play lem is this" said a young fellow who enlightened me on the subject; there's music to all of 'em, and while the iddle's a-goan' we skip around and try to knock with the music. h Stealing Partners we all have partners but one boy, and he picks out any girl he wants and swings. That leaves another
 boy without a partner and he has to pick out a girl and swing her. and so on.
 For Twistiflcation,' we all gets in line. boys on one side, glrls on the other, with room for a couple to march up be- tween us in dancing step. At the end of the line they swing, and we all prom enade. Then we form the line and start again.
 '' Fancy Four is a good deal like
 Justification only two couples instead of one do the dancing and promenadlng. Of co'se these games ain't regular danc- sing. That wouldn't. be allowed at most houses. They're ChristlaA dancing"

A PR1M1TIvE MEXICAN TRIBE.
Dr. Lu1nboltz Describes Strange
 Race He Visited.

New York Sun.
 pr. Carl Lumholtz lectured yesterday on the Primitive Races of Mexico" at the League for Political Education. 9 West Forty-fourth Street. Dr. Lum- holtz has lived with the Mexican Indians for several years and is thoroughly ae- quainted with their customs. He says that the greatest obstacle in studying them is to gain their confidence. This he did chiefiy by learning to sing their native stonEs..
 pr. LumiS8tz spoke chiefly about the Tarahumares. one of the most primitive of the Mexican races, who are partial cave-dwellers. He says that their chief attraction is their wonderful health, the only disease from which they suffer be- ing pleurisy. They possess wonderful endurance and when working for the Mexicans, as they sometimes do, will chase a runaway horse for an entire day.
 They have even been known to chase A deer for a week he said. They either follow the animal until it drops from ex- haustion or until its hoofs fall of. As might be expected they are very fond of foot racing, which Is their national sport. The word Tarahumares comes from a corrupt Spanish word meaning foot run ner. According to Dr. Lumholts their strength Is noticeable. even in regard to theIr hair.
 'They do not feel pain as we do,'' he said. 1T once pulled six haiEs from the head of a sleeping baby without disturb ing him. asked for moro and after I had pulled twsnty-six hairs the bab@ moved his head slightly" M
 Dr. Lumhoitz found that the Tarahu- mares have very little idea of the value of time. When they desire to catch a squirrel they cut down the tree ip which it happens to be; s. 1T the the squirrel escapes down also and so on until the animal Is caught. Tn the same way it is a tire sonne fob to purchase anything from one of them. It takes a day to buy shsep and A week to buy an OK. because the head of the family has to consult hls wife and children before making the sale.

AMERICAN GIRL ON

 The following story found in The Att lantic, told by Thomas Wentworth His- ginson, gives fine idea of how prece- dence in England struck sensible Arner- ican girl. He says:
 ''I knew a young American girl who. going to England under the care of an Ambassadors family and attending her about her, selected as the guest lu the room who most interested her one m Tn of distinguished aspect. whom she re- solved to watch. When the guests were ushered into the dining hall according to the laws of precedence she found her. self at the very end of the brilliant pro- cession as one of the two untitled ple- bians in the room, assigned to the escort of the very man who had interested her and who turned out to be Samuel Rag- CTS. the poet and patron of art and the recognized head of literary society in England. She always said that sae SC cured two things at that entcrtainmer.t- namely, the most delightful companion that sine ever had at a dinner party, and. moreover, a lesson in the outcome lifetime. Rogers's poems are not now read so much as formerly, but at that timc the highest literary honor a man could have was to dine with Rogers. He was also one of the richest bankers m London and was very possibly the only person in the room who had won for him self reputation outside of his own little | island, but he was next to nobody in that company, and the little American .sil was the nobody"
