Boston, and is young woman OF more
than ordinary talent, who has already
won laurels in her chosen profession,
and will win more.
The work of Miss Spears school OF
expression is both educative and prac-
teal, and is receiving unstinted praise
and support because of this fact. The
aim is to develop the originality of the
student, and to lead him to gain the
correct conception for himself. She
carefully ascertains the needs of the
individual student and directs her
work toward bringing out the best re-
suits of which each student is capable.
The school is divided into three de-
partments. viz:
l. Physical Culture - Correcting
wrong habits of the body.
q Training the Speaking Voice
Aiming to give freedom and control
to the voice.
3. Dramatic Reading
OF the vocal expression to the inter.
probation of literature
AS a public reader Miss Spear is
endowed with a wonderful power and
has won success in this, her chosen
profession. The range of her work is
extensive, and she is charmingly en-
tertainlng in selections of widely con.
trasted effects. There is nothing OF
the artificial mannerism of the elocu-
zionist, her work is simple and direct.

MISS MAMIE BERGMAN,
Teacher Of Music.

Miss Mamie Berryman's music class
at the Bryan High School has repu-
tation of fourteen years of continuous
success. Miss Bergman has attained
a high excellence as a music teacher
because of two very important essen
tials which she possesses in marked
degree.
First, she has that necessary talent
which enables one to impart their own
knowledge to a pupil. In other words,
she is a born teacher" and is one
filled with the enthusiasm of earnest
ness, which she also imparts to those
under her guidance in the divine art"
Second, she is thoroughly equipped
for her work as teacher of music, by
thorough and well.rounded education
in what she teaches. Miss Bergman
studied music in Dallas, and also in
Galveston, afterwards taking a special
course in the Cincinnati Conservatory.
She teaches, piano, violin, mandolin
and guitar, and the advancement OF
all her pupils IS most satisfactory.
Miss Bergman teaches by the indi-
vidual rather than by a system.

THE CIVIC LEAGUE.

An organization of Bryan women
that has proven a mighty lever in the
uplift OF this prosperous little city is
the Civic League. Nearly one hun.
dred women are enrolled as active
workers in this league, and their
united efforts along lines of civic i'm
provement in the business and resi-
dence sections of this city have re-
suited in a general betterment that is
little short of wonderful.
The commercial impetus that has
quickened every enterprise in Bryan
within the past two or three years,
bringing prosperity and progress to
her business life, found Bryan far be-
hind other cities OF equal population,
in civic pride and beauty, and up-to.
date sanitary measures and methods.
The ruts that are characteristic of
the small town" were deep and dread
full, and hard to overcome but, be it
said in public recognition of their faith
full and untirng efforts, the Civic
League has set new standard of civic
perfection, and it's requirements have
brought Bryan into a new sphere of
civic and sanitary living.
Through the efforts of Mrs. M. w.
Sims and a few other earnest women,
assisted by Mr. l.. M. Hewitt OF the
Bryan Commercial Club, the perma-
nent organization of Bryan's Civic
League was perfected. Through the

THE WoMAN'S CLUB.

The Woman's Club of Bryan Is the
Oldest literary organization in the city.
having been organized in October,
1895, and having held regular weekly
sessions on Wednesday of each week,
from October to April, during each
successive year. This club was fed
Grated in 1899 The study course OF
the Woman's Club is very comprehen-
sive and thorough, and provides
most pleasant and profitable literary
pursuit for the members.
During the eighteen years of its ex-
istence the study work has included
courses in the history, music, art and
literature of the different countries,
thereby providing wide scope of lit
erary research. The works of Shake
speare have also been studied in sys-
tematic order; king Henry W." Parts
I. II and III, were studied during the
past year. Beside the study of Shake
speare, full quota Of interest and
enthusiasm is brought to the CLUB
members, by their weekly answers to
roll call with current events, and also
the Table Talk" which this year was
drawn from French literature. Each
weekly program also includes an ex-
ouisite musical number by one OF the
members, giving diversity of enter
tainment and pleasure.
Mrs. Edward Hall of this city was
the first president of the club, and
each club year has found new presl-
dent in the chair, all serving with
ability and marked success. The club |
year of 1913, which closed April 2, was
by far the most successful and brill |
liant. from point of interest and num-
bers, yet enjoyed by this organization |
of capable women. Mrs. ]. Webb How |
ell was the popular president, and by
her faithful and efficient efforts not |
only sustained the clubs brilliant
record of the past but urged the mem
bers on to greater and grander achieve
ment.
A special work of the Woman's Cub i
this year has been to aid, upbuild, en-
courage and improve the public library
of Bryan, and much of lasting benefit
has been accomplished by their uhtir-
ing and united efforts in this worthy
endeavor. In every phase of public
work leading toward the betterment
OF our city educationally, the members
of the Woman's Club are active and
and the club as whole
is considered a wonderful power in the
development of Bryan.

stanchions that employ the same prin-
ciple for retaining the COW, but give
her the utmost freedom and at the
same time keep her clean and pre-
sentable.
A barn that is fitted up with stalls Of
this kind is much cleaner. lighter and
brighter, and it is much more easily
cared for. There is no question as to
the Importance and the eXpediency of
modern barn equipment.
The new barns are all being supplied
in this way. and that is as it should
be. but the thing that is even more en-
couraging is the fact that those who
have barns that have been standing
some years are tearing out antiQuated
stalls and supplanting them with those
that are newer and better. 1t takes
considerable amount of time, educa-
tional work and energy to convince
man who has COW stable that he
should change his entire equipment,
putting in the newer and better for
that which has served it's time, but
this is being done in great many
barns throughout the country, all Of
which goes to show that the dairy
farmers are progressive; they appreci-
ate the importance of the best there is
in dairying and are willing to take ad-
vantage of everything that is offered
them

IMPROVED DAIRY
BARN EQUIPMENT.

One of the encouraging things about
dairying is the willingness with which
the farmers of this country are i'm
proving and undermining their dairy
barns. says Kimball's Dairy Farmer.
The cement floor has done much to
bring this about, and the great econ
omy and convenience Of modern equip
ment have also had their share in
working the revolution.
No one thinks Of building a new
barn without supplying it with hu-
name stalls and stanchions. The old
fashioned wooden partitions that shut
the light out Of the front part of the
stable-that made it a harbor for
germs and filth-have given place to
the neater. cleaner and more sanitary
and modern stall.
The old fashioned rigid stanchons,
which held the COW very much as the
stocks used to hold their victims in
colonial days. have given place to other

GRAIN RATION FOR cows.
Dairy Cattle Should Be Fed According
to Milk Production.

to Milk Production.
good many feeders vary the
amount of feed they give their cows
according to the price of the feed ra-
ther than from what their COWS are
doing. When grain in high in price
the claim is often made that it doesn't
pay to feed the cows very much grain.
AS a matter of fact, if we have a COW
that is worth feeding at all she should
have all the grain that she can make
proper returns for.
She should have all the rough feed
such as hay. silage. corn fodder. etc.
she can eat up clean. Then she should
get about one-third as much grain as
she gives pounds Of milk. A COW Civ
Ing six quarts of milk twice a day is
giving about twenty-five pounds of
milk per day. She should have about
eight pounds of ground feed divided
into two rations, one in the morning
and one at night
When the COW begins to fall off in
her milk the feed should be gradually
cut down so as to keep the proportion
bpoub lnuCu grain us she
gives milk.
good cow will use about one-half
of all the feed she can possibly eat for
keeping up her own weight. She will
use this necessary amount whether
she gets all the feed she ought to get
or gets only partly enough. If we
give the cow hree-fourths of a ration
she uses two-thirds of the amount to
keep her body at given weight and
only returns dairy products for the
other third. The cost of all the feed
she eats and the profit must come out
of this one-third.
If we give this same COW all the feed
she needs. keeping in mind the above
proportions between meal and milk.
she uses one-half of the total ration
for body maintenance and the other
one-half for product. 1t is easy to
figure out which is the more economi-
cal ration. 1t is a mistake to under
feed COW and 1t is a mistake to over
feed her.-Blue Valley Bulletin.

The Ayrshire dairy cattle are
coming into favor in this country.
This breed was developed under
rather severe conditions in the
southwestern part of Scotland This
fact probably makes them able to
adapt themselves very readily to
local conditions. They are not as
large as the Holsteins. the cows
ordinarily averaging about 1000
pounds in weight. The colors range
from spotted red and brown and
white to nearly white. AS a dairy
cattle they are noted for a good
uniform production of milk testing
little less than per cent on an
average, with a high per cent of
other solids. In general appear
ance the mature Ayrshire COW is
smooth and well filled out, al
though of good dairy form. College

feet on people, needless to say, and soon
the church forbade it and the only re-
minder we have OF It now is in pictures
of that time
The Slavic people still retain trace
of this morbid dance in a Death dance
Of their own. This is performed by a
young girl who pretends to be corpse.
She must remain rigid while the rest Of
the company try as hard as possible to
make her laugh by their funny antics,
their dancing, and their ridiculous car
feature Of profound mourning. The
boy who can make her laugh or waken
her gets a kiss as his reward and the
dance, despite its grewsome idea, is
very popular in some parts of Bohemia.
There was nothing morbid or I'M
healthy in the funeral dances of the old
Greeks, where members Of the family,
or paid mourners, walked in solemn
and stately manner around the funeral
pyre Of the dead and chanting hymns
in his honor, while they scattered flow
ers and poured out nbations OF wine to
the gods. But other religious dances OF
the pleasure loving Greeks we're less
dignified and certain dionysian mys-
teries participated in only by women
ended In the widest kind of revelry
This festival permitted the women who
were hedged in by very strict laws and
even narrower conventions to get back
to nature for a while and they made
full use OF their opportunity led by the

~ ONE of the strangest dances the
world has ever seen have been Of
religious origin.
We have Holy Jumpers in some COM
munities to-day, whose religious exor-
tations are accompanied with wild and
often frenzied motions Of the body, but
they are no more sensational than the
religious dances of more primitive peo-
Pile.
About 1874 there was an epidemic Of
the Dancing sickness est Vitus) in the
southern Tyrol A great procession was
formed of men, women and children
who danced their way to the very dis
tant shrine of the saint to pray for
speedy cure either for themselves or
some one dear to them.
This dancing procession is still a fea-
ture of the Feast of the Pentecost at
Etchernach about $4,000 people Joining
it every year. They all hold hands and
advance five steps back. This gives the
procession the strangest most fantastic
appearance, like a huge snake that
jerks along. There are plenty of brass
bands to keep the dancers spirits up
and the close contact of so many other
praying and dancing people is infec-
tious. 1t is said that many cures are
affected by the pilgrims and that many
of the younger ones lose their hearts on
the way to the shrine. But that is con-
sidered to be particularly lucky.

The most morbid and fearful Of all
the dances in Christian times were the
Death Dances which appeared at the
same time as the great plaques and
were the peoples expression Of grim
and ghastly despair ct their lot. The
grizzly humor of these dances, which
were led by a man dressed as Death
himself, painted like a skeleton with
crown and ermine coat, can only be
understood If you try and think your
self back in those times. In the thir-
tenth and fourteenth centuries every
imaginable disease, and the black
plague especially, ravaged Europe,
sometimes killing every one of the in
habitants in a small town. There was
no idea of a cure for any one who con-
tracted the disease, and no exact
knowledge Of how it was caught. The
people were as helpless as sheep before
flock of wolves. If one man died of
the plague in the town 1t was pretty
sure that many more would, and no one
knew whose turn would come next. So
Death was constantly in everybody e
thought, and they could not even get
away from the idea in their merry
making but danced with death as the
Piper of a long ghastly procession.
At this time dancing had become a
perfect mania and many people were
accused of having the Dance Sickness
which was a form of hysteriR or St
Vitus dance, quite as popular in the
middle ages as neurasthenia is now
The dance of death had a very bad eff
