WAYS or THE sPANIARDs.
Oriental Habit of SecludlnE Their
Women SIN PrevnlNnt.


Oriental usage with regard to women
still prevails in Spain, where there are
no sulfragists and no problems OF sex.
Even In society In Madrid men do not
pay afternoon calls ON married women,
the chief form OF entertainment be-
Ing the evening party, or tertulia. The
Jealousy Of Spanlards Of both sexes Ia
notorious. The eastern habit OF seclud-
Ing their women IL still prevalent
among most Spnnlards; hence the H.
Hteracy OF the women, the tresome
rormalty OF Spanish functions, the
conventionality OF society manners.
Occasionally an American lady In tho
diplomatic "sct" tears down the bar
ricrs of convention and ustounds $50
ciety" by her western ways, but Span
ish women regard the innovation ms
we would the cnpers or IL circus horse
In Rotten row, and you may live years
In Spain on the best terms with n
Spnniard before he invites you to meet
Ills wife. You may catch more butter
Qies In an afternoon than obtain even
sight of the faces OF the women
whose husbands you meet daily In the
course of whole years acquaintance
But III dancing the Spanish woman Is
queen OF her sex. TO see the real
thing you must get hold of n gypsy
band or visit some humble dancing
place in Seville or In the south. There
Is no dancing In the world so poetic,
passionate. suggestive or graceful.
Spain Is the trae home OF the dance.
There are the jota Of Aragon, with its
Inc abandon, set stately time; the tam
60, resembling the danse du ventro Of
Moorish Spain-tle dance of gesture
and suggestion; the graceful cachuca,
with It's chlronomlc play OF head and
arms; the jnleo dc JcrcZ, which gypsles
dance In whirllng fantastic measure;
the quaint dances of the Basque prov
lnces and scores of minor local dances
more or less alike peculiar to different
localities. But the great ounces are
the bolcro. the seguidilIa, the chacona
aud the fandango OF the south. These
dances are the soul and cpltome OF
Spain. In all OF them prose gesture,
the mystery OF true dancing, plays an
important part. In all of them the
poetry of love and motion Is exhibited
with extraordinary subtlety and en-

Modern Fire worsl,,p In scot,ona.

Burghead, in Mornyshire, Is UNIQUE
In one respect. 1t has "the burning of
the clavie." This ceremony Is gone
through every New Years eve, old
style. 1t Is supposed to be relic OF
fire worship. There Is now only one
other community, 1t Is said, in Britain
where the practice Is carried on. Tho
clavie consists Of half an hrchanSle tar
barrel fixed on the top of FIR prop
about four feet long. The second half
OF the tar barrel Is broken up, put in
side and mixed with tar. A stone must
be used to knock In the nall which con-
meets tile pole and the barrel The
broken bits In the barrel are then
lighted by means OF burning peat, no
such thing as a luclfer match being
allowed.
In the dark winter night the blazIng
thing Ia borne up one street and down
another Mt high speed. then carried to
tho Donrie hill In tile middle Of the vii.

short strong column, and the clavie
burns out. The women rush In and.

Weight before ana After Meals.


Why is 1t that II man does not weigh

Election will readily explain this nppar-
cnt mystery. During The process OF

physiology that the exercise Of any

certain amount of carbon Is eliminated
and passed off during the course of n
meal. This loss, however, Is trifing MS
compared with that of respiration and
persDiration, both of which functions
are increased during the operation OF
making n meal. The length Of time
one may take to consume pound of
food makes but little difference In the
losses. If 1t be eaten lelsurely, there Is
but slight Increase Of respiration or
perspiration, whereas If 1t be hurried
through both are abnormnlly accelsr-
ated; hence by the time the meal ls
finished the consumer hns lost appre-
Gladly In both moisture md carbonic

but clear manner why 1t is that Il man
may eat a pound of food and yet not
weigh but from one-third to five-eighths

meal. f.

While Wadins Into the River He Step

Body Was Recoverede With Crap

While picnicking with the pupils of
of the LeGrand mills, on the Iowa riv-
er, Thursday evening, Arthur Samp-
son, Norwegian boy, aged 10 years,
waded beyond his depth while going in
10 battle, and was drowned while his
companions looked on. Sampson, with
Arthur and Elmer Tow, went to the
river for swim about $50 o'clock,
while the girls of the picnic crowd
were preparing supper farther up the
river. The Tow boys had been in the,
water but a few minutes when Samp-
son entered. He waded out from the
bank slowly, then suddenly stepped off
into deep place and was drowned.
Before he went in Sampson said he
could swim but his companions be-
lieve now he did not mean what he
said. After he came up the first time
ne screamed for help, and Arthur Tow,
who was few rods away hurried to
his assistance. Tow was already tired
when he reached the spot, and when
sampson CAME up lue lliIQ llilie lle
was struggling so violently in the wa
ter that Tow turned back to shore.
fearful lest he also should be drowned
il the drowning man clutched him.
Help was summoned, but it was not
until almost midnight that the body
was recovered. 1t was found by Roy
Beebe, of this city, who was dragging
near the spot with a graphing hook.
The hook caught between the clenched
fingers Of the boys hand, and he was
brought to the surface.
Today is graduation day of the Stav-
anger school, which is located two and
one half miles south of LeGrand at the
little inland settlement known as
Stavanger Yesterday the school took
its last outing before the term was
over. The tragedy has cast gloom
over the entire school.

to ordinary treatment. Their double
action, on the blood and on the nerves,
makes them an ideal spring tonic.
