People Present at Dances
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

The president of the University of Ala
bama has issued an official ukaze against
the nondescripts of the Terpsichorean
family.
Dr. Denny does not specify, but 1t
generally believed that he holds in dis
favor the tango" the turkey trot,
the peanut stroll" the "Gaby glide :
the Kangaroo Dip" the march of the
dead" and all the other forms of dane
ing in which society in the present mo-
ment is finding its keenest delight.
II it is untrue that he considers the
modern exertion sacrilege against the
hitherto considered beautiful art of dane
ing, then something has occurred-for the
uSaze is issued.
And, hereafter, as a result of that
ukaze. all entertainments to be given by
students of the University of Alabama
will have to pass an examination under
the critical and scrutrnous eye of the
august faculty.

That skill in the art Of choosing
a dinner can stand one in good stead
was experienced the other day by
gentleman in Liverpool, Eng. 1t
appears that a millionaire from the
United States walked into one Of the
leading hotels in the city and said
to the manager: Tomorrow L want
the best dinner that your establish
ment can produce. l want to show
to some friends what England can
do in the way Of a dinner"
The manager was at loss to know
what to do, but remembering the
man who made the art Of dining
hobby, he sought him out and said,
"0ur company will esteem it an
honor and pleasure if you will dine
tomorrow at their expense. You will
select your own dinner, and all they
ask of you is that you will choose
the best menu that your experience
dictates, regardless of expense"
The gentleman in question accept
ed the invitation, and next day gave
his order for the dinner. 1t was
served to him in the dining-room,
and the same dinner was served in
the private room to the millionaire
and his friends. The latter unani-
mously confessed that they never
had realized to what a pitch of per-
lection The art of dining could be
brought in any English hotel.

In the Senate debate on the proposed
reduction by one-half of the tariff or
granite great deal of misinformatior
was revealed, yet, curiously enough, the
debate was about the most lively since
the bill came before the Senate. Sena.
tors Hollis of New Hampshire and Dill
bingham of Vermont, however, showed
themselves rather we'll fortified with
facts concerning the industry in New
England, but even Senator Dillingham;
himself was not near the actual fact
when he stated that probably 1000
persons are employed as cutters in this
industry meaning the granite indus.
try of Vermont Therefore, it should be
stated that in Barre alone there are
nearly 1000 granite cutters; and Barre,
while by far the largest granite center,
is one of several cities and towns in
Vermont which have granite industries.
Senator Dillingham; endeavored to i'm
press upon the minds of his colleagues
that the granite quarrying industry OF
Vermont is by no means trust; that
it really is well divided among many
individuals, partnerships and corpora
tions. His statistics on that subject
were drawn from the census reports,
showing that there are 81 quarries be-
ing operated in Vermont, of which 81
are controlled by individuals, IL by part
nerships and IS by corporations.

curinq Wood.

Wood has contagious diseases! A
stick of wood in a lumber yard may
be sick and infect other timbers, which
later may develop the disease when
they are supporting great weights in 9
new building. Some OF the diseases are
so contagious that In building they
will jump several feet across masonry
or brick to some stick of healthy wood
Cures have been discussed by the
American Society Of Mechanical En-
gineers. Most of the diseases are va
rieties of dry rot caused by fungus,
and most of the varieties OF the dry rot
fungi cannot stand heat much over 100
degrees, so the most likely cure is to
close building up tight, IL any beams
are infected, and heat 1t up to 100 or
40 degrees Even this is not always
successful, for ends OF beams are bur
led in the outer brick walls and the
heat may not reach them Exchange,
