THE DANCE IN SPAIN.
1t Is an Essential Part of the Life of

1t Is an Essential Part of the Life of
the People. ~i'..,
Dancing is Il 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, JercZ and Valen-
cia Religious dancing continued to be
common in Catalonia and i'll RoussillOn
(the most Spanish of the French prov
incesD up to the seventeenth century.
But real and unique survival of re-
ligious dancing is the dance of the
seises in. Seville cathedral. when the
choristers, wearing the same costume
rs 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 rs something more than an
amusement in Spain. 1t is part of that
solemn ritual which enters into the
whole life of the people.-Twentieth

Once, during his second term, Grover
Cleveland was asked to speak at q
function in a certain town. and when
he arrived at the depot the wind was
blowing a gale, sleet was driving and
hailstones nearly as large as marbles
were hercely falling. OF course the
inevitable brass band was there, and
at the sight of the president the per
formers struck up with all the siren
uosity at their command. ''That is the
most realistic music ever heard" re-
marked Cleveland. What are they
trying to play?" asked Secretary Oh
ney, who accompanied him. "'Hail to

THE AGENT DIDN'T KNOW.

A story of am Editor and "a Life Im-
surance Solicitor.
! There are today some thousands Of
varieties of life insurance policies each
Of which has technical name and is
capable of being made quite unintel-
ligible to the average man. Some I'M
scrupulous agents trade on this. Many
do not really understand the meaning
Of terms themselves, but have learned
their lesson parrotlike, and most Of
them apparently find it unnecessary to
describe in plain English to those
about to insure what they are contract
ing for. The result is mass of mis-
information and confusion about the
whole subject.
For instance, an agent was trying to
insure an editor on some new plan.
The editor had theory that any fact
could be put into plain, everyday Eng
lish If the man behind the fact really
knew what he was talking about. Aft
er listening to an involved flow OF
premiums" deferred dividends
''cash surrender values and "optiona.
choices" he said gravely:
"See here l don't understand what
you're talking about. But I'll tell YOU
what I'll do. If you'll write that prop
osition out in ordinary English so that
an ordinary man can understand it Ill
not only take the policy, but I'll pub
lish the explanation as an article and
pay you hundred dollars for it,
xviii /? Sure, WILL" exclaimed the
overjoyed agent, thinking he had in
deed struck an easy job. And he de-
parted, adjuring the editor not to for
get.
A week passed by. The agent called
up on the telephone to say that he was
working on the thing There was less
exultation in his voice.
Two weeks more elapsed. The edi-
tor had forgotten the whole thing,
when the agents card came in one
day. 1t was followed by the man him
self. @
Well said the editor, ''got my ar
ticle?"
"N-no," said the agent sheepishly.
''The fact is, guess, can't do it the
way you want it, after all. Let's call
it Off"

Proceedings in the nature of lock-
out, instituted last week Tuesday by
the keeper of the boarding house con-
nected with the Glenn mills, resulted
Wednesday morning in the refusal of
the weavers to begin work. This
action on the part of the boarding
house keeper was brought about by
the failure of the mill owner, Mr..
Beach, who also owns the boarding
house, to erect a woodshed at the
house as desired by the housekeeper.
In order to bring the mill owner to
terms the weavers were notified that
after breakfast Wednesday they need
not return for more meals, as they
would not be served until the shed
had been erected. The weavers there
upon decided to go on strike until the
shed was built. The matter was set
tied by a conference between Mr..
Beach and the weavers, as the result
of which it was agreed that the shed
should be built as soon as possible.
The weavers returned to work in the
afternoon, and are now obtaining
their meals as usual. +

There is tree that grows in Mexico
called the chijol, Or stone tree. 1t is
of enormous proportions, both in cir
conference and height. 1t has num-
Der of branches spreading out widely
and carrying leaves of yeilowish
green. color. The wood is extremely
fine and easily worked in a green State
1t is not given to either waTping or
splitting. The most remarkable thing
about it is that after being cut the
wood gets gradually harder, and in the
course of few years it IS absolutely
petrified 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
proof and would last as long as though
built of stone. ..
