Two Kinds of Dancers,
The Rev. Reginald Campbell of
the London City temple during his
visit to America said a number of
amusing things. One of them con
cerned danqing. A young girl asked
Dr. Campbell if he did not consider
dancing graceful.
"Professional dancing,” he re
plied, "is, I admit, graceful enough
in some cases. But what is there of
grace in the dancing of amateurs?
A man and a woman, close together,
spin solemnly about a room. The
man’s long black coat tails flap.
Such persons always look to me as
if they had been hired to dance and
were doubtful if they would get
paid.”

you married?” cried Thunderbolt
from the middle of the river. “Yes,”
replied Walker. "Well, remember
your family.” "Oh, that’s all right.
Will you come out and surrender?”
"No; I’ll die first.” "Then it’s you

Direct Legislation.
Governor Garvin of Rhode Island
in North American Review divides
direct legislation into, first, the
compulsory referendum, which re
quires all laws and ordinances to be
submitted to a vote of the people;
second, the optional referendum,
which petition, to require the sub'
mission of any law or ordinance to
the judgment of the voters; third,
the initiative and referendum, which
permits a minority, by petition, to
propose a bill and have it submit
ted without change to a popular
vote; fourth, the constitutional in
itiative, which provides that a rea
sonable minority of the voters may
propose amendments to the consti
tution, to be submitted unchanged
to the popular vote. In every case
a majority of the votes cast by the
qualified electors upon any proposi
tion decides its fate.

A Painter's Gift.
Mestag, the eminent Dutch ma
rine painter, has just presented to
the Dutch government, for the na
tion, a princely collection of art ob
jects. The famous Barbizon school
of French painters is particularly
well represented. . There are twenty
pictures by Daubigny, twelve by Go-
rot, three by Millet, seven by Rous
seau and ten by Diaz. The most
famous Dutch artists, mediaeval and
modem, are also well represented.
Besides paintings, the collection in
cludes a profusion of china, gobe
lin tapestry, Japanese porcelain,
Indian curios, oriental carpets and
draperies, all chosen with admira
ble judgment and valued in the ag
gregate at $600,000.
In the Kitchen.
Small new potatoes are nice boiled
in their jackets. When done remove
the skin by rubbing in a cloth, drop
into boiling fat and brown quickly,
Drain and serve very hot.
Boil cauliflower with the head
down and quite immersed in water,
Cooked so, it will go on the table
much whiter than if exposed to the
air while boiling.
If a fishy smell clings to knives
and forks after mackerel, bluefish
or some other oily fish, try rubbing
the silver with a cut lemon. Wash
off in hot suds before the lemon
juice has a chance to stain it.
Gothic House Furnishings.
Several signs of the times point to
a Gothic revival in house furpisb
ing, and some beautiful Gothic fur
niture is being placed on the mar
ket. It is built on the same straight
lines as the mission furniture, but
is a trifle less severe. The Gothic
style is distinguished by beautiful
mediaeval carvings and, though usu-»
ally associated with churches, ap
pears to be equally suitable for the
home.
CONDENSED STORIES.
Where She Got the Creet That Was
“So Full of Significance.”
Here’s a good story told about
Lady Colebrooke, that prominent
‘Englishwoman who visited the
Whitneys last winter. Lady Cole
brooke is of the well known Paget
family. Lord Colebrooke’s ances
tors are equally aristocratic, and the
Colebrooke crest is a rampant lion,
three doves over the head and a
wolf couchant above fcll. It is an
elaborate affair. When Lady Cole
brooke was dining out with one of
the opulent hostesses of Long Island
she glanced casually at the dinner
service, every bit of which was duly
embossed' with a crest. She was ac
customed to heraldic china and did
not at once inspect the design mi
nutely. Later in the evening, to
her great surprise, she became aware
that the Colebrooke crest was upon
all of her hostess’ dinner service.
"Where did you get this crest?” she
exclaimed impulsively. The hostess
replied unconcernedly: "Isn’t it a
pretty one? I picked it out when
we furnished this house. It was the
pettiest I could find, and those dear
ittle doves, I think, are so full of
significance.” Lady Colebrooke mur
mured sadly, "So full of signifi
cance.”—New York Press.

Ban a Ten Penny Nail Through
His Hand.
While opening a box, J. G.
Mount, of Three Mile Bay, N. Y‘,
ran a ten penny nail through the
fleshy part of his hand. “I thought
at once of all the pain and sore
ness this would cause me,” he
sav*. “and immediately applied
Cham' itluin’S Pain Balm and
occasionally afterwards. To my
surprise it removed all pain and
soreness and the injured parts*
were soon healed.” For.s^le by

“SUPPOSE YOU TBY SINGING IT ON THE
KEY."
the first time in America, Mascagni,
who was conducting the orchestra,
was greatly annoyed by the ineffec
tive performance of one of the sing
ers in a particular scene. The pas
sage was a very intense one—a love
scene between the chief reprobate
and the heroine.
"Do not move so timidly! Stand
farther to the right! Play with
more vigor! More color! More va
riety!” shouted the composer above
the surge of the music.
The unfortunate actor, thorough
ly discomfited, went from bad to
worse in his impersonation and now
was singing almost continually out
of tune. The exasperated composer
could stand it no longer. He stop
ped the orchestra and beckoned the
singer down to the footlights.
"Since all other methods for mak
ing the passage effective seem to
have failed,” he remarked sarcas
tically in his most scrupulous Ital
ian, "suppose you try .singing it on
the key?”—-Harper’s Weekly.
Willie, the Gardener.
Willie was planting some beans
in the garden, and his sister came

he was putting them far down into

planting them so deep.

for them/’ he explained. — Little
