THE DANCE IN SPAIN.
1t Is nm Essential Part Of the Life OF
the People.

1t Is an Essential Part Of the Life OF
the People.
Dancing is a universal instinct with
Spanish women. The great annual feria
at Seville is largely an orgy Of dancing.
AS evening approaches everywhere one
begins to bear 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 1t 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-
cha. 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 q 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
- 49,
solemn ritual which enters into the
whole life Of the people.-Twentieth
Century Home.

The Lobster.s ADVANTAGE,

The lobster has been endowed by ma
ture with two gifts which go far to off,
set the evils attending his lot. One Is
the ability TO fight early, often and all
the time If necessary, and the other Is
the ability to grow a new member-an
eye, q leg or q claw-whenever the orig
inal Is lost in the fortunes of war or by
reason Of any domestic unpleasantness.
1t is these W gifts which enable him
to grow up and become a useful mem

time he Is really grown.-Four Track

MelsSonler, like many other celebri-

The gardener carefully scrutinized
the grains.

are the seeds of the 'Polpus finsamus,

Meissonier asked, with a chuckle of sup

Two weeks later the guests were

and after dinner the gardener was an

seed has just come up"
"Ah, you surprise mel" the artist ex-
claimed as he rose and led the way
into the garden to examine the botan-
ical phenomenon.
The gardener lifted a glass shade and
disclosed to view a small bed with
three rows Of picked herrings' heads
peeping out of the earth. Everybody
laughed. MeiSsonier dismissed the
gardener on the spot, but took him on
again next day.

tall figure wrapped in dripping sea
cape stood erect.

Some hours later there was Il quick
glow in the distant sky, followed by the
dull roar of an explosion that promised
much. 1t certainly came from the d.
rection in which the enemy's fleet lay.
Soon after the sound of brisk cannon

for the never resting flashes from the

The morning sun came up behind a

beam FROM one foam topped wave to

tossing and wallowing about upon the
surface, once again became visible to
the eye in all their uncanny detail of
guns and turrets. Far down OH the

The Farm Horse In Summer.

make it practice to give to work
horses some grass commencing by the
first of May, turning them out as soon
as their grain is eaten and putting them
in the stable again before dark, says
Cyrus Green in Cultivat0r. A little
grass, roll and taste of dirt affords
them much pleasure and it takes but
little time to do it. Between the house
and barn there is about one third OF an
acre and no stock but horses are allowed
in this enclosure, and not even these
when it is soft enough to injure the grass.
At most the horses cannot get far from
the stable, and when wanted catch one
and the rest follow. They soon get used
to this and consider it part of their
daily routine. 1t takes but little time to
attend to it, and great benefit is derived
from it. A grass diet is not conducive
to hard work, as it causes too much
sweating and that has an inclination to
weaken the system, but grass in limited
quantities is beneficial to horse as an
appetizer. A man may be well fed on
substantials but he likes little pie and
cake just the same.
do not like the practice of turning
the horses out at night while hard work
is on hand, for horse with stomach
full of wet grass is in no condition for
forenoon's work. Also, the horse that
has been on his feet most of the night
gathering provender is not in condition
for work the next day. With all Other
suitable environments horse must lie
down and rest and sleep to put him In
the best condition for days work, and
there is nothing like we'll bedded stall
| to favor this.
