THE DANCE IN SPAIN. .

1t Is an Essential Part of the Life Of
the People.
Dancing is universal instinct with
Spanish women. The great annual feria
at Seville is largely an orgy of dancing.
AS evening approaches everywhere one
begins to hear the sound of castanets
and to see the gracious movements Of
the seguidilla, the universal Andalu-
sian dance.
But the fundamental instincts of the
Spaniard for dancing and the serious
and profound way in which it express
es the temperament of the people are
perhaps shown by nothing else so
much as by the existence Of religious
dancing in Spain. At the time of st.
Thomas Of Villaneuva, bishop Of Va
lencia, it was customary to dance be-
fore the sacred elements in the church
es Of Seville. Toledo, Jerez and Valen-
cia. Religious dancing continued to be
common in Catalonia and in Roussillon
(the most Spanish of the French prov
inces) up to the seventeenth century.
But a real and unique survival of re-
ligious dancing is the dance Of the
seises in Seville cathedral, when the
choristers, wearing the same costume
as they were 400 years ago, perform a
dance to the accompaniment Of casta-
nets in the space between the high al
tar and the choir.
Dancing is something more than an
amusement in Spain. It is part of that
solemn ritual which enters into the
whole life of the people. Twentieth

Tree That Turns to Stone.

There is a tree that grows in Mexico
called the chijol, or stone tree. 1t is
of enormous proportions, both in cir.
conference and height. It has num-
Der Of branches spreading out widely
and carrying leaves Of yellowish
green color. The wood is extremely
fine and easily worked in a green state.
It is not given to either varying or
splitting. The. most remarkable thing
about 1t is that after being cut the
wood gets gradually harder, and in the
course of a few years it is absolutely
petrifed whether left in the open air
or buried in the ground. From this
timber houses can be built that would
in a few years become completely fire.

built Of stone.

Bad Eject Of Bitters.

Luckily absinth is not much drunk
In England. but other bitters are, some
that are only less injurious. Your read
ers should know that all bitter tonics,
habitually INDUCED in, are apt to do
harm to depress, not exhilarate. Such
tonics should be taken rather as medi-
cines than as everyday drinks You

ALMOST WRECKED AT WILLIAMS
A Short Line Train Struck a Wagon
On Dangerous Curve Sat-
urday Afternoon.

With the negotiations between the
property owners and the Short Line
railroad management, just brought to
naught day or two before, through
inability TO arrive at mutually agree
able terms. the necessity of dislOsing
of the dangerous curve at Wellhams on
the Short Line was again manifested
on Saturday afternoon.
Train No. ~. which left Bla1en
street at o'clock had narrow escape
from being wrecked on this curve, and
that a serious accident was averted,
is due to the forethought of the engi-
neer. The accident was due to the
striking of n farm wagon heavily
loaded with baled hay. Tie two horses
stalled Just as the wagon got squarely
across the track, and every effort to
get them to 60 either way failed.
Thcre were two men with the team
and one of these was sent down the
track to flag the train, which had
blown for the crossing, while the col
ored driver, with his knife, cut the
two frightened animals loose from the
wagon. This was done just as the
train rounded the curve and came in
sight of the obstruction.
The engineer, seeing that il would
be impossible TO stop in time to pre-
vent hitting the wagon, and also OBJ
serving that there was no one on the
team, opened his throttle wide. This
gave the train Roadway enough 70 pre-
vent its being thrown from the track,
and at the same time TO knock the
wagon completely out of the way.
One of the bales of hay narrowly miss
under the wheels between
two of the cars, where it would I'M
-loubtedly have derailed the train. Con-
siderable excitement was caused among
the passengers, but no damage was
done and the train proceeded on its
way after loss of about ten minutes
The wagon was completely demolish-
ed and the load of hay strewn along
