THE TALK OF THE DAY.
The Doukhobors. a strange religious sect,
who caused no end of trouble a couple OF
years ago by insisting on parading arouna
the province of Saskatchewan in the garo
Of Adam, have settled downs on large
tract of land near Kamioops. British Co
lumbia, and bid fair TO become one or the
most valuable and prosperous communities
in Canada. They are clearing nearly three
thousand acres of forest land and placing
it under cultivation, and a correspondent OF
The London Chronicle who recently WIS.,
tied the settlement, speaks highly OF their
industry and success thus far. He writes:
mo meat is eaten by the Doukhobors Cows
are kept for milk, which is consumed In
place of tea and coffee. There is not

their extravagant habits. From now on
they will not be permitted to exercise
these as heretofore. They must share bar
racks and tents with the other enlisted
men, and will NOT be allowed to take quar-
ters IN nearby hotels and farmhouses. One
of the perquisites of the officers has been
the gifts received at the hands of these
young men. who. according to the Enper-

practice under penalty Of being tried, not
only for characterization but for bribery"
THE PROBLEM
Our troubles have increased of late;
Alas. how p problems Le,1S yss u.s. u.s.:
Delighted to perpiex US
We fond1y wished our son to be
\ man of deepest knowledge:
Fer years we've struggled patiently
To pay his way through college.
We've watched his progress with pride
That fully has repaid US
For all the luxuries denied
And all the care he's made US
But by a problem hard and grim
We are at present weighted;
We don't know what to do with him

A teacher OF dancing who was present at
the session Of the National Association of
Masters of Dancing. where the waltz time
was fixed at mot less than fftyhve meas
ures to the minute" said that waltz time
cannot be fixed for the people who come
under his professional observation The
time and the style of the waltz lie IN the
personality, he said. Just the same the
mode of walk or gesture. You may teach
an Hungarian or an Austrian to waltz to
slow music" he added, but when once he
has mastered the step he will show his na-
tionality by wild dancing, no matter how
the music is playing. The German comes
next in impetuous Waiting. but he lacks
grace and can be held down more easily
The French. and the Americans like to
glide and the Englishman-well, my ex-
perience is that he dances in forced and
stilted manner no matter what the music
time may be. The slow French
waltzes, tuneful though they be. will never
become universally popular as dance mu-
sic, simply because they are slow. There
is nothing better for the dance than GungI,
Strauss and their imitators, and their
waltzes suggest the time No one needs to
prescribe it."
