DANCING CLASSES toa SO. Ieas

Gen. Picquart, the French minis
ter Of war, has ordered the establish.
mcnt Of a dancing class at the non
commissioned officers school at Join
ville-le-Pont The object of the class
is to train military dancing mas
tiers, who are to teach dancing in all
the French garrisons. In recent
article NJ. Giraudet, the president of
the International Society of Dancing
Masters, strongly recommended such
a measure. He reminded his read
crs that Napoleon |. encouraged his
men to dance before going into bat
tie, to increase their courage.

A comparison has recently been
made of the power of the lights in
French lighthouses at various periods
in tho last 35 years. In 1874, when
only oil lights were used, the high
est power was equal to $4,000
candles. In 1882, when the electric
light was introduced, the power rose
TO a maximum of $4,000 candles
Since then frequent improvements
have been made in the electric lights
until, at present, the most powerful
lighthouses project an illumination
nearly equal to 100000 candles.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste OF varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trou-
bic can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because Of its great
er strength than other makes.

Kismet is an Arabic word meaning

predestination is one Of the funda-

faith. Not only a mans fortune, but
his deeds. and consequently his future
reward or punishment are. according
to this faith, irrevocably. and thus un-
avoidably, pre-ordained-a doctrine
which has contributed largely to the
success Of Islam by inspiring its cham

BEES AND GRAPES.
A Mistaken Idea That the Little Insect
Punetures the Fruit.

An Illinois reader wants to know if
there is any way to prevent the bees
from sucking the juice out Of grapes
It is commonly supposed that the
bees break the skin of the fruit and
then remove the juices Of the pulp
This is a mistake. If there is no rup-
ture of the skin Of the grape, the bees
will not bother the fruit. Since they
attack only those berries which are
broken and which will, doubtless
spoil, they do no material harm to the
fruit
If the vineyard is a small one. one
Of the best remedies is to go through
it and examine the punches and re-
move all fruit on which the skin is
broken This fruit can be used in
making buffers. jellies and wines and
at the same time the temptation is
removed from the bees.
In some small vineyards the grow
ers resort to what is called 'bagging"
This is done about the time the ber-
ries are the size of small peas. Two
pound paper bags are used. slipping
the bunch into the bag. which is slit
for an inch on opposite sides of the
sack. near the top. Draw the top Of
the bag up to the lateral TO which the
bunch is attached SO that it passes
through the two Sits made in the bag.
Then bend the paper over on either
side SO no opening is left, and wrap
little fine wire around the lateral
at either side of the sack. Leave this
till the fruit ripens. This not only
prevents bees and ants from getting
to the fruit. but also protects 1t from
birds.
Just what causes the fruit to crack
open, is not quite plain 10 our station
axperimenters The writer has no
ticed, however. that fruit grown on
rich soils has a greater tendency to
break open than that grown on poor
soils. If the soil is very dark colored.
the probabilities are that it contains
a great deal Of nitrogen. which may
cause the fruit to crack in the way
mentioned Manures should not be
applied to the vineyard, especially
fresh manure, says Journal Of Agri-
culture If the soil is naturally rich,
