Day of Stately Minuet.

We are promised revival of the stately minuet. But consider we'll the responsibilities of that dance. Thus, for instance, MT. Austen Leigh on the eighteenth century minuet: Tt was not every one who felt qualified to make this public exhibition, and those ladies who intended to dance minuets used to distinguish themselves by wearing particular kind of lappet on their headdress. have heard also of another curious proof of the respect in which this dance was held Gloves immediately clean were considered requisite for its due performance, while gloves a little soiled were thought good enough for country dance; and accordingly some prudent ladies provided themselves with two pairs for their several purposes."- London Chronicle.

 It must be very gratifying to the railroads to learn that the facilities Of the parcel post are to be further extended. Just so far as this means increased accommodation of the pub lie it means increased business, and just so far as it means increased busi- ness it means further robbery of the railroads. All this parcel post busi- ness, enough almost to ruin the ex- press companies, has been unloaded upon the railroads without $1 of addi- tional compensation for all the added burden.

Not single exception to this civflity

Give Food to Prisoners.
"A French lieutenant and two Eng
llsh officers travelled with US in the
prison train from Beaumont to Aachen,
hating journey which took over
thirty-six hours The train was crowd
ed with German wounded and French
and English prisoners, and there was
nothing to eat or drink, except few
fragments of rye bread. hard as a
stone. and little liquid compound OF
chicory. which in Belgium masquerades
under the name of coffee. Since there
was not enough even of this disheart-
ening fare to go around, German Off
GERS went without food, so that the
prisoners might be fed.
Between Chateau de Casteau and
Lobbes, particularly desolated neigh
borhood, whence inhabitants had fed,
one and all, the Germans found hum

house. Without having experienced
the genuine, almost womanly, tender,

have called their feeding of the canary

whim-but it was typical.

THE prevalence Of the Belgian prac-

in an army train. We were ADVISED 70

ION the contrary, I witnessed numer-
Gus cases of the most careful courtesy
on the part of German soldiers. In
Brussels they not only paid their cafe
bills, but tipped generously. Along the
road when a German officer or SOL
dier entered a Belgian house for food
or shelter it was not with demand,
but a request. In spite of the confusion
and errors whic harose from strange
