AUTHORITY FOR DANCING.
Cardinals Decided 400 Years Ago It Was
Proper Amusement.

Louis XII of France held
grand court at Milan in 1901,
where the balls are said to have
to have been magnificent. At
these the Cardinals de Nairbonne
and de St. I.averin footed with the
rest of the courtiers.
Cardinal Pallavino relates that
the fathers, doctors, bishops and
other church dignitaries assembled
at the Council of Trent rested for
awhile, in 1862, from polemics, to
deliberate upon giving ball to
Philip II of Spain.
After mature deliberation the
measure was adopted, the ball
given and at it danced with the
ladies of the city, who had been
invited, the fathers of the council.
The example of David dancing
before the ark of the covenant has
been often adduced as a sacred
authority for this agreeable amuse
ment; but then it must be re-
membered that in some ages and
countries and among some sects
dancing was considered as much a
religious method of expressing
devotional feeling as the singing of
psalms and hymns. Stray Stories.

Queer.

Two persons were born at the
same moment of time. After an
age of fifty years they both died,
also at the same instant-yet one
had lived 100 days longer than the
other. How was this possible?
The solution turns on curious,
but, with a little reflection, a very
obvious point in circumnaviga-
ton.
A person going around the world
towards the west loses a day, and
towards the east he gains one.
Supposing, then, persons are
born together at the Cape of Good
Hope, whence a voyage around the
world may be performed in a year;
if one performs this constantly to-
ward the west. in so years he will
be so days behind the stationary
inhabitants; and if the other sails
equally towards the east he will be
so days in advance of them.
One, therefore, will have seen
100 days more than the other, tho
they were born and died in the
same place and at the same mo-
ment, and even lived continually
in-the same latitude and reckoned
time by the same calendar.-Ex
