Names of Dances.

The position taken By the dancers
gives the name to the "quadrille"-
literal English for "a little square" In
the French tongue. From the French
we get also Country dance" which, as
q matter Of fact, has no reference TO
rural frolics. "Contredense," which
has reference TO the position OF the
couples, opposite each other, Is readily
corrupted into country dance" The
polka" is a Polish dance. the name
being derived from the Bohemian word
"pulka," meaning half, and refers to
the half step which occurs In this
measure. The waltz" Is German
waltzen, meaning to revolve-the cir
eulsr motion of the couples easily ex-
planning the connection. The reel" Is
suggestively obvious. zig Is of
course from the French gigue.-Har-

the clty's electric light plant was sold
for half price as follows:
"Origlnal cost $4,000; sold for $5,-

had to issue bonds In the sum Of So

was four years ago. Two years ago,
when the city sold the plant, there
were about $4,000 outstanding war

Another authority states that $4,000
