II it were always daytime, We should

animals, should rest. on an average,

The period of rest has been deter
mined by the fact that eight hours Is
the average time when there is a
lack of sufficient light to enable us to

Great Men Who Danced.

A paper devoted TO the doings of SO
ciety seeks 10 bring the non dancing
man to confusion by citing the exam
pies Of the great dancers OF the past.
In classical as well as Biblical times
it seems, dancing was not considered
beneath the dignity of the greatest
men. David danced before the ark,
and Socrates and Plato somewhat de-
spised those who could not dance with
ease and grace. The famous Sully,
minister to Henry ", was noted
dancer and so was the notorious Car
dinal Richeleu. Why then, should
