Interpretative Dancing

Dancing is defined in the encyclopedia
as "a form of exercise or amusement in
which one or more persons make a series
of graceful movements in measured steps
in accord with music" Add to this def
milton "for the purpose of expressing
and symbolizing some intangible form of
beauty, of making unseen loneliness be-
come seen"-and you have the meaning
of and reason for interpretative dancing.
it is an ancient and honorable art,
dating from the days when Miriam, the
Prophecies, and her women danced to
the sound of the timbrel to celebrate the
drowning of Pharoahs host in the Red
Sea. The Greeks gave it an important
place in their scheme of things, designat-
ing the Muse Terpsichore to be its es-
pecial patroness, and indeed, some of the
most graceful and beautiful dances we
see today are revivals of the old Greek
Art. Through all the ages, interpretative
dancing has been an important factor,
but it has remained for the present gen
eration under such leaders as IsadOra
Duncan and Others to bring it to the fine
ness of perfection. Most of us can express
our thoughts intellgently only by word
of mouth. To say a whole sentence by a
look, a paragraph by a gesture, and
chapter by a pose Of the body is surely
marvellous gift, and this gift is developed
to high state of perfection in the desci-
piles of interpretative dancing. Many of
us have witnessed demonstrations of
of this art, but tor the benefit of those
who have not had that privilege ard for
the added pleasure of those who have
had it. very able exponent of the art
will visit Morrisville in the near future.
In fact, on the evening of February 10th,

"DEVlL TayMB5" HIS CURSE
East Indian Praises Allah as Surgeons
Eliminate Cause of His
Ostracism.

Allah be praised!
Clan Singh is without his devil
/ thumbs" extra ones that grew upon
his hands. They were taken from him
! the other day by Allah, he says, but
the surgeons in the receiving hospital
say differently, and say it in a very
technical and convincing way
From the time of his youth in the
village Tuse, district of Ludhiana, Pun
jab, India, Clan Singh has not found
favor in the eyes of his relatives, and
always the little boys with whom he
played reviled him by calling him
Devil Thumbs"
1t was malformation of the thumbs
from which he suffered, not an unco H.
mon thing in the United States, but a
horrible visitation and curse in India
Never could he be a favored son Of
Allah.
When he had a chance he came to
America, but his friends took his COM
partnership without grace, and when
an affair of chance was undertaken
by them recently, and they lost, they
cursed Clan Singh roundly, and by
tho custom Of their race, spat upon
him.
So great was Clan Singh's distress
that he came to the receiving hos
pital, and asked if some deliverance
could not be given him from the
curse he bore. The surgeons re
marked easily"
The other day Clan Singh and his
friend Omar, came to the hospital. A
moment for anesthesia, the quick
and tense activity of the surgeons, and
Clan Singh was being wheeled back
to his bed in the ward. As he was
trundled along he awakened for an
instant. Instantly he held his hands
high, so he could look upon them.
There was the thumb, one thumb on
his right hand. His left was the
same. With a sigh, he renewed his
dreams in anesthesia, only to NUT
ter, Allah be praised!"-Los An

Acting and SINGING.

Another question relative to study

ence between studying characters for
acting and for singing?" Here again
must quote myself. Ineed the music
to inspire me. Many persons have told
me that if I would leave the oneratic
stage fer the drama I would be the
greatest actress the world has ever
seen. l don't believe it. | don't think
all of this could be brought out of me
without the music, because it is the
music which does bring it out. The
case of "Salome" is quite in point here
| went first to see it acted without
any music, because thought it would
be interesting to act it, if never
sang it. 1t was just commonplace
drama, that's all; but when Strauss
put the music to it 1t became strong,
tense, magnificent-in brief, a new
thing! Nor was l the only one af-
fected that way by the change. In
Paris, where it was created everyone
said, when Strauss had put music to
the drama; "The hand has found it's

THE WHOLE BODY
NEEDS PURE BLOOD

The bones, the muscles, and all the
organs Of the body depend for their
strength and tone and healthy action
on pure blood.
If the blood is very impure, the
bones become diseased; the muscles
become enfeebled, the step loses its
elasticity, and there is inability to
perform the usual amount of labor.
The skin loses its clearness, and
pimples, blotches and other eruptions
appear.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
blood. 1t is positively unequaled in
the treatment of scrofula and other
humors, catarrh, rheumatism, dys-
pepsia, loss of appetite, that tired
feeling. Be sure to get Hoods and
get it today. All druggists.

SUNLIGHT FOR THE POTATOES
Tubers Should Not Be Stored in Dark
Places as It Is njurious-keep

Aside from the reason that the tu-
bers will sprout if stored in the dark
this practice generally makes it neo-
essary to treat the tubers in the
spring for scab, while if they are
stored where it is light, during the
winter, and taken out and aired occa-
sionally where there is no danger Of

than a dose of chemicals to prevent

has been practiced by many growers
for years. Another thing in the care
of seed potatoes is not to keep them

GOOD MANAGEMENT or BOAR
Task of Keeping Him From Herd 10
Father Laborious, Eut 1t Is by
Far the Best Method.

The best hog raisers do not per.
nit the boar to run with the herd.
There are reasons why this should
not be done. If one is to control the
time Of narrowing and the use of the
boar it can only be done. when he is
kept by himself
II is a too common practice to sell
the boar when the season is over rath-
er than keep him for future use, de-
pending upon getting another young
one. This is a ruinous practice and
is largely responsible for small lit
ters and weak bone. Get a good boar
and keep him for few years. Ma
turity is good for him.
Have a small yard with grass, If
possible, hog tight and away from the
sows, so he will not be worried. A
quarter-acre, with a good house and
shade will afford ample exercise in
the open air. When grass is not avail
able in his lot, give him cut green
stuff daily as long as it lasts. Feed
sparingly of fattening foods and sup
ply plenty to keep him in good trim
and growing if not fully developed
Mill stuff, skinned milk, clover, al
falfa-anything that furnishes protein,
is advisable. Of course, supply ashes,
salt and charcoal.
This keeping the boar away from
the herd is. more trouble than letting
him run, but it is the only way to
know just what you are about in hog
raising.

FARMER OWNS HIS EQUIPMENT
Often Happens That 1t Would Be More
Economical to Hire From Others
Interesting Data.

(By S. l.. MACDONALD, Colorado Agricul-
tural College.)
The writer is of the opinion that
many farmer is tempted to purchase
his own equipment when in reality 1T
would be more economical TO hire from
others.
Let us endeavor to ascertain how
many acres of grain a farmer should
cut as his annual average before the
purchase of a self-binder is justifiable.
We assume the following data
Initial cost of binder .................S $4,000
Annual depreciation, 8 per cent first
year '''......... OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 1l.ZO
Annual rae of interest, per cent. $50
AhnudI repairs ......................... sOO
Cost OF Irvine per acre ................ 30
Horse labor per hour .................. IL
Man labor per hour .................... 10
Assuming that one man and three
horses with a six-foot binder can cut
l6 acres in ten hours, we deduce that
cost of labor per acre is 80 cents.
AS against these items let us sup
pose that the farmer could hire the
grain cut for one dollar per acre.
The above data gives us the conclu-
sion, by elementary algebra that a
man should cut an average of IS acres
annually before the purchase of a
binder will save him money.

FANNY CROSBY DEAD

Bridgeport, Conn, Feb, l2'-Fanny
Crosby, the hymn writer, died mere
today, aged 50.
Eight thousand hymns OF Christian
worship sung in Protestant churches

of Charles Wesley or Isaac Watts has
made anywhere near as large a con-
tribution to the gospel song book as
did the blind writer whose death oc-

Fanny Crosby's name was signed
so regularly as author of one hymn
after another that the hymn book max
ers of a quarter of century ago were
forced to give her some 200 different
names to make it appear that someone
besides the famous writer had con-
tributed. Thousands - perhaps hun
dreds of thousands-who sang her
songs, which were translated into ev'
cry language, did not know that it was
blind womans inspiration which
they employed to express their Chris
tian faith and hope in song.
Saved by Grace" BLESSED Assur

Safe in the Arms of Jesus" are typ

"Even a five-acre tract of pota-

in this city. These five acres would
net 500 per acre, which has cotton
beaten by quite long way in my
opinion. Yet, a farmer cannot gel
credit to raise sweet potatoes, and
can get it on cotton, therefore cotton
is grown to the exclusion OF almost
everything else"

movement. Some troops, it appears,
We're sent to Bolimow to aid in the
big demonstration, but greater
number had been sent to Austria.
The Russians fresh advance over
the Carpathians and the danger of
their forward movement westward
and northward in the lower Vistula
basin, and, further, the threatening
attitude of Russia, had aroused the
Germans to an energetic counter
activity. The pressure on the Bzura
and Rawka holding out continual
menace to Warsaw, was lately i'm
portant for the Germans, but now
that the main Russian offensive has
taken another direction it becomes
less important to maintain the pres
sure on Warsaw.
The chief task of the Germans for
the moment is to resist the Russian
offensive in the Carpathians. The
main object will now be to hold back
as long as possible all attempts at
a Russian advance. The German
attack in force at Rolimow was in
tended to prevent the transfer of
Russian forces from mid Poland to
the Carpathians, and the energetic
Russian resistance had a similar OBJ
ject with respect to the Germans.
Interesting news comes from LODI.
A large number of troops, drawn
from various parts of the front, are

The inhabitants of Lodz are forbid
den to stand in the streets while the

been removed from the Lodz factor
les to Germany. The conduct of the
Germans suggests that they are ner-
vous and excited. 1t is reported that
they intend shortly to evacuate LODI.
The stubborn, successful Russian
advance on the German left in the
Vistula bend, near the debouchment
of the Bzura, the increased Russian
activity in the Mlawa region, the
J intermittence of the Austro-German
artillery demonstrations on the Pill
lea and Nida, covering withdrawal
