OUT THE OLD DANCES.


Fashionable London has set its face
against the old-fashioned square
dances, and the lanciers, quadrille
polka and mazurka have had to go
they no longer grace the order Of
dances in fashionable assemblies. The
English take to the waltz, and an
Italian expert says the English seem
to dance it like persons in a dream,
so slow is the time usually taken.
Conversation is also being limited
at dances and the Mexican habit of
silence is being followed. To this
the Kansas City Journal takes excep-
ton and says: 1T is most regrettable
chat the American people should de-
generate almost to the level of these
unsophisticated halfbreeds in manners
and social intercourse as well as in
the fashions of dancing. The abolish
ment of the square dances. the quad
rifle and lanciers, is perhaps unavoid-
able from the fact that they are es-
sentiauy conversational in character,
and. as we have said conversation is
becoming a lost art with us But the
polka, mazurka, schottische and other
popular old dances are lively enough
to suit even those impatient souls who
are anxious to hurry through life to
the grave as fast as possible; and, be-
sides, they are much more graceful
than the scissors, like the twostep,
and afford a pleasing variety to the
evenings enjoyment. In Vienna, which
is the home of the dance, and the
gayest capital in Europe, almost every
dance that is known to the votaries
Of Terpsichore is carefully preserved
and INDUCED in on every suitable oc-
casion."

NOT TALKING.

It appears from the Waterbury Re
publican that Attorney John H. Cas-
sidy Of that city is q leading candi-
date for the deputy judgeship Of the
district court. and when approached
by an interviewer Attorney Cassidy
did not see any necessity for talking
about his candidacy. This shows the
best OF sense on the part of the can
didate-talking doesn't count, but do
ing does. Attorney Cassidy is a Nor
wich boy who has dded himself and
bis excellent personal qualities to the
good citizenship of "the Brass City"
and his many Norwich friends and
ecquaintances, who know how well he
is equipped for such a position, hope
that he may be the successful caudi-
date and thus get in line for adj
vancement in accord with his merits
The Republican says that "the deputy
judge of the district court receives a
salary Of $4,000 a yecr. his term be-
ing for four years. He is also called
upon to sit at cases at the city court,
for which he receives s. sitting"

his wife.
So engrossed was he in dilating up

A very pretty little story comes from
Iowa, having to do with the recent
wreck Of the North Coast limited train
near Mckenzie. 1t appears that
young lady, the owner of a beauty
parlor'' in Des Moines, babe an insist
ent lover farewell, disposed of her es-
tablishment, and started west, to be
gone a year, telling the young man
that if he was faithful for a year he
might hope. AS the train proceeded
westward her resolution grew fainter,
but still she was determined to make
the test of his affection. And then the
train ran off the track, possibly at the
instigation of Cupid himself. She suf-
fered a broken ankle, which is more
painful If not more serious than a
broken heart. and after she was able
to leave the hospital she went back to
Des Moines and her lover. He rejoic-
ed much, she relented, the day was set.
and all is well. So some of the other
passengers who have suffered some
from injuries may find consolation in
the fact that a railroad accident re-
united these separated souls and scor-
ed another triumph for Cupid. The
moral of 1t would seem to be that 1t is
well to take the lover when he offers

CIRCULATION
THE RAISING OF DEER FOR
DpOEIT

The protection Of deer in New Eng
land and the tameness Of the animals
has given rise to the belief that these
tractable creatures may be raised at
n profit by farmers upon cheap lands
which would barely support sheep. The
department Of agriculture has issued
a bulletin to the farmers in all parts
OF the country favoring a trial Of ven
ison raising.
The Toledo Blade, speaking for that
section. says:
There arc tracts Of unculdvated
land in this county upon which deer
might be prohtably raised, mountain
sides and areas which will not pro-
duce vegetation that would pay for
blowing and harvesting. It might be
necessary to modify the game laws IN
order that the deer raiser should not
be restricted in the matter Of market
ing the venison. OF this the depart
ment says:
Instead Of hampering breeders by
restrictions as at present, state laws
should be so modified as to encourage
the raising OF deer, elk and other an
finals as a source Of profit to the in
dividual and to the state. Safeguards
against the destruction and sale Of
wild deer in place Of domesticated
deer are not difficult to enforce. For
this purpose a system Of licensing prl-
vate parks and of tagging deer or
carcasses sold or shipped so that they
may be easily identified is recommend
ed. 1t is believed that with favorable
legislation much otherwise waste land
In the United States NAV be so utiI-
ICED for the production Of venison as
TO yield profitable returns, and also
that this excellent and nutritious meat
instead Of being denied to 80 per cent.
Of the population of the country may
become as common and as cheap in
our markets as mutton"
