DANCING AND SCHOOL CHILDREN

Prof. M. V. O'Shea, of the University of Wisconsin, has been discussing dancing in it's relation to education. ard he says: No people have ever long endured among whom the ballroom, and the relations which it develops, occupied an important place dur ing the period of early youth. Speaking generally, when an ad- olescent catchesIthe dancing fever and it runs it's course, his mental evolution ceases bedtimes. The inevitable result, he claims, is
 O stitle interestin the less eXcit- ing situations pr esen t @ d in science or history or language; while the mastery of these latter is absolutely essential for the welfare of the individual and of society.
 The Chicago Advance backs up the professor in the following vigorous manner: It says: From every section of our country have come loud complaints from teach CTS with regard to the evil result of the general introduction into our high schools of fraternities and sororities, athletic teams, 'proms' and balls. The existence of these societies in the high school greatly aggravetes the dancing malady. and it is well known that the pupils who ire quent the ball room are incapable of effective work at school.
 But the matter effects morals as well as education. Students of human development, Prof. O'Snea safficms, are university agreed that when the relations between the sexes which the ball encourages they become promi- nent.

Criminals and Crime.

Is the criminal so because he wants to be SO? No more wicked faIlacy was ever foisted upon a credulous world than this. Nobody at any period of the world ever wished to be criminal Every one instinctiyely hates and fears crime. Every one is honest by nature It is inherent in the soul l have never met criminal who did not hate. his crime even more than his condemners hate it. The apparent exception is when the man does ont consider his act crime. He has killed because his victim exasperated him to it. He has robbed society because society made war on him. The offender hates his~crime.
 But he is not ashamed of it?
 Now, that is true. He is not. asham- ed of it in the current sense He hates it, he fears 1t, but it does not i'll him with sense of sin--H. Fielding Hall in Atlantic Monthly.

Sreed Of Aniu,ala

According the naturalists, no ami nal is known. to have exceeded the speed attained by the famous race horse Sysonby. Instantaneous photo graphs show the full length of one complete stride of about twenty-six feet In the stride of the fastest racers the hind quarters and limbs are raised considerably higher than the shoulders and from this relatively great height is brought downward and forward, wide ly separating from each other, as sportsman says. 1'to avoid striking the fore legs" The hare which is hunted with fast dogs has not in reality the speed of the dog. The dog, on the other hand. does not attain the speed of the horse The giraffe is said to run at the rate of fifteen yards per second under the most favorable conditions The elephant. going at rate of two yards 8 second, carries weight approdmat- ing that carried by six horses

In his very last year, however, he was able to spend day in Indianapolis and went round the place. That evening he was received by the ministers. and the chairman in welcoming him said:
 Doubtless you find few of your old friends here in Indianapolis after so many years of absence. but we who are here welcome you just as warmly. ''

Why Not Schools For Men7

No man ever feels the need of educa- ton so much as the man who sees opportunity for advancement open be fore him., but who does not dare to take it for fear that he can not rise it It is useless to say anything to such a man about neglected ep- portunities, and 1t is equally futile to say the same thing to the youth who is negiecting his studies The first cannot go back and live his boyhood over; the latter cannot comprehend his danger, nor will he believe in his own possibilities. nor can he really study intelligently things for which he who mature early enough in life to go through technical schools or col leges are provided for. Can we not provide mems schools for those who mature normally ly?-American Maga- zine.

Won Thair Rardons.

From the time of the story of Damon and PythiaS various reasons for tenn porary release from jail have been giv- en. It is related that in the Napoleon ic era a soldier confined in military prison for q minor offense against the service during a brief time of peace was released in order that he might be present at the christening of his in fant son. born during his imprison- ment But Napoleon, in order to test the intensity of the mans desire. made him agree to serve a year longer for the privilege of. a three day furiough. The soldier gladly did it and when he returned found a pardon and a cor poraPs warrant for his infant son, to be valid when the son had served with credit six months in the. emper- or's army of the future" Frederick thea Great released an audacious cap tain under sentence of death so that the Captain might .sten him a few beneficial things about himself. The things told face to face influenced the great king to. pardon the blunt death defying soldier.-New York Sun.
