The Spirit of Dancing.

Times and manners change. The
customs OF London. ancient and mod
ern, greatly differ. Says the London
Times regarding medieval days:
Dancing was a passion with every
body. From the queen to the milk
maid. all the women danced; from the
king to the craftsman, all the young
men danced. They danced in the
streets whenever it was possible,
which was one of the reasons why
May day was so joyous festival. The
more courtly people had dances digni-
fed and stately, such as the danse au
virlet, in which each performer sang
verse, and then they all danced
around, singing the same verse in
chorus; the Pas de Brabant, where
every man kEelt to his partner; the
danse au chapelet where every man
kissed his partner; they danced to-
gether, singing minstrels' songs; they
danced In the garden, they danced In
the meadow, they went out at night to
dance, with tapers in their hands; they
danced to beautiful music played by an
orchestra. Where is the dancing spirit
now, where the mixed kissing?

Took Pride In 1t.

One day the home of Geoffroy st.
ITilaire. the famous French naturalist,
became perfect pandemonium. Ev-
cry room was turned upside down eX-
ccpt the study of the master of the
house. Mime. st. Hilairc had lost a
very valuable diamond necklace, but
she Instructed the servants not to NEIL
ton the loss to her husband lest the
knowledge Of il should disturb him in
his work Moreover, the missing bau-
bic could not be there, inasmuch as she
rarely entered that sanctum The
search proved in vain, but the great
SaYant was still left in ignorance A
few days later at Nine. ST. Hilaire's
weekly lat home one of her female
friends sympathetically inquired after
the ornament i'll the hearing of her
host. In the most airy but withal most
unaffected way the great naturalist re-
marked that his fayorite baboon had
been playing for nearly week with
a similar thing to that described"
which similar thing turped out to be
the priceless ornament. Nine. st. Hi
laire G.gnantly protested at NJ. st.
Hilaire's neglect in not having taken
the necklace from the animal. II
thought that it belonged to him." was
the calm reply, he seemed to take
such pride in it."

The Military saSute.

The military salute required In al
most all civilized countries is nearly
the same Perhaps In Germany, how.
ever, the regulations are somewhat
more stringent. A soldier on meeting
the emperor has to stand still, face
about and remain with hand raised for
from twelve to twenty PAGES before
his majesty approaches and for the
same distance after he has passed.
In Belgium an officer has to do the
same thing for the king and subalterns
for generals, though ten PAGES only
are required for the latter case. Sol
diers carrying anything so that their
hands are quite occupied salute with
their eyes-that is, they turn their
heads in the direction Of the person
coming and going. French officers
raise their caps to each other, but the
privates do as the privates in other
srmies do.--London Standard.

Friendship, this beautiful relation OF
life to life. soul to soul, is Of most Sc
rious import. 1t sometimes makes our
warmest friend in reality our worst
enemy. Bad qualities in a friend are
false lights-they lure to evil. Many
of us are constituted so that 1t Is easy
for us to form friendships. Let us be
careful of those thus brought under
our influence and power. Let us keep
them unsoiled. Let us feel that grave
responsibilities lie in our friendships
and that they also enshrine glorious
opportunities.
