Try This-It's Easy.

Here is something in figures that is
simplicity itself vet as mysterious and
hard to understand as anything we have
seen in mathematics.
Put down the number of your living
brothers,
Multiply by two. Add three. Null
tiply the result by five.
Now add the number of your living
sisters. Multiply the total by 10.
Add the number of your dead brothers
and sisters. Subtract $50 from the
total.
The right-hand figure will be the num-
Der of deaths, the middle figure the
number of living sisters, and the left
hand figure the number of living
brothers.

DANCING AN ART AS
OLD AS HISTORY
Used By Primitive Races AS
Method For Giving Expression
to Strong Emotions.

! Danclng, IN It's earliest FORM, among
primitive races, was a mode of OK
preston for strong emotions, such as
joy or sorrow, love and passion, and
even for the most solemn religious SEN
timent, but in later ages.it has lost its
high significance.
In most ancient religions dancing was
one of the chief acts of. worship. Terp-
slchore, one of the daughters of Jupiter,
was the first patroness of the art.
Dance, with song, was an integral part
of the professions to the Egyptian
temples. The Cretan chorus, moving
in stately fashion, sang hymns to
Apollo
Among the ancient Jews dancing was
the sacred expression of joy or sorrow.
Miriam danced to song of triumph.
David, told of the death of his son,
danced before the ark of God.
In the sacred dances of Greece lay
the beginning of all modern dramatic
art. Aristotle placed the dance as the
highest expression of poetry.
Among the cruder and sterner races
dancing was at all times the medium,
for display of warhke or savage pas
sion, as in the case of the Pyrrhic dance
of the Spartans, the dance of cur
American Indians and Of the Zulu war
riors.
The ancient Romans would seem, &C
cording to Tacitus and Cicero, to have
tabooed the dance as a form of recrea-
ton. Cicero says: ''No one dances
when sober unless he chances to be
mad. " Yet the patricians did not dis
dain complacently to witness the eyolu-
tions of Nautch girls imported from
India.
That dancing found no place among
Christian peoples in modern Europe
until well into the Middle Ages was
largely due to the opposition of the
clergy. Many of the priesthood, led by
st. Augustine, condemned the prac-
tice as ferventiY as the Puritans of
New England, who saw only deadly sin
in dancing.
st. Chrysostom held that dancing
originated with the devil. Father Juan
de Mariana, in one of his sermons, in
sisted that the dance had worked
more mischief than the plague, Yet
the fandango. object of his special
aversion, so charmed the reverend
members of the sacred college invited
to sit in judgment upon it that in place
of condemnation they gave it their
unanimous approval.
1t is to France that we owe the
prigination of most forms of the mod
ern dance, To the age of Louis XIV
we are indebted for the minuet, then
as now the supreme illustration of
grace and art in movement. From
France we get the quadrllle, lof which
all of US now in our ffties have still
pleasant memories; the gallop. which
died during the mid Victorian era;
the cotillon, beloved in the days of
the second empire and by our own
"4O0' up to within a recent decade
the polka, first danced in 1910, and
which in later years was supplanted by
the schottische. which in it's turn has
degenerated into the two-step. The
lancers was introduced in 1886 by
Laborde and finally the waltz, still su-
preme and likely to maintain it's place.
