MILITARY DANCE-3 3:.
‘VestI’ointers as Educators in the Torpgi
chorenn A l t. .
To the average mind West Point lig-
ures as all that is effective as .-. mili-
tary training school. “Only that and
nothing more,” in the words of lla-
venesque rhetoric. Its other {ltYilfl-
tages and possibilities are to most per-
sons an unknown quantity. As a mat-
ter of fact, though, \Vest Point pro-
vides many other sorts of discipline
than juSt the martial alone. Chief
among them comes dancing. There is
probably no more complete or thor-
ough dancing academy in the world
than West Point. What it teaches
concerning martial tactics is doubtless
very wonderful, but this pales beside
what it inculcates as to tcrpsichoreau
tactics. The cadet graduating there-
from may be very well posted with
respect to court-martial and smokeless
powder, but it is his ability to trip
the light fantastic that gives him his
unique place in society at large, which
is only natural, for what does society
at large care about courts-martial and
smokeless powder? It isn‘t just the
West Point man alone who profits by
these opportunities, though; that large
and influential if not generally recog-
nized quantity, the W'est Point girl,
becomes what she is, the best of danc-
ers, simply from her apprenticeship to
the dancing discipline of the place.
There is nothing like a season or two
at ..West Point to make a good dancer
of a girl. The standard is so high
and the system of training so rigid,
that it counts for far more than years
of ordinary ballroom twirling. Both
mothers and daughters realize this.
Truly enterprising mothers who desire
to do the thing “right” are careful to
take a daughter to the academy at the
time that a class is just entering, the
girl returning there summer after
summer as long as the class remains.
Whenjt is graduated the girl is grad-
uated too. In other words, she leaves
\Vest Point “for good,” but she is al-
ways known as a West Point girl and
as :a member of that class. She pro
ceeds to enter society past mistress oi'
the art of dancing.

The Out Door Parlor.
On every house in the South you will
see a piazza, and above it, as an outlet
to the second story, another which is
usually called a gallery. This is a. ne—
cessity of Southern life,where one must
have all the air that is stirring in the
summer weather, which lasts two thirds
of the year.
In the North where the houses are
built for people of means, the piazza or
veranda is a prominent feature, and the
use of it is a daily factor in the life of
the inhabitants of the dwelling. There
the family gather in the balmy evenings
of early summer and the torrid nights
of August, and the gay hammock is
well filled with beauty by no means un-
adorned.
The man who builds his house as a
roof to cover his head, or buys one that.
someone else has built and waits for
larger income before adding thisfluxury
to his abode, in thus limiting his expen-
diture, unwisely limits the possibility
of “greatest good to the greatest num-
ber.” Poor and rich peeple who live in
big cities must be content without the
piazza, but the least pretentious house
in suburb or country may have at a
small cost this delightful luxury, which
may be made, with little effort, a nu-
cleus of a charming home life.——Ladios’

A Peanut Party.
A peanut party is great fun for chil-
dren. Several quarts of peanuts should
be hidden about the house and the small
guests given little baskets or kinder-
garten paper boxes in which to place
all those they find. When the signal is
given for collecting again in the draw~
ing room from which they started,
those who have the most nuts receive
prizes, and there may be others for the
discovery of special peanuts marked
by ornamentations. The supper table
should have salted peanuts and peanut
sandwiches on its menu, and should be
decorated profusely with tiny owls
stuck everywhere—on each napkin, on
piles of sandwiches, the cakes, and dot-
ting the cloth at intervals. These are
made by running black pins through
white beads and sticking them through
one end of a. peanut to make eyes.
Other pins should be thrust through
small hens’ feathers and then through
the nut, when they look very like little
wings, and give an extremely birdish
appearance, while the Whole eficct is
really quite funny. The table will seem
as if it were taking to itself wings and
preparing to fly away.
Superfluous Duties.
A woman‘s instinct of cleanliness is
so strong that. she will actually squan-
der time in unnecessary work, just as
a Squirrel in a cage will store up nuts
by lorce of his instinct of accumulation.
If some housekeepers had double the
time at tliUll‘ disposal that they have
it with superflan'is duties. But this is
going farther than any semblance of a
reason can attempt to excuse. . There is
no sense in working like this.

How to Cure a Severe Cold.
A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with a very severe cold that caused him to
be in a'most miserable condition. It was
undoubtedly a. bad case of la grippe and
recognizing it as dangerous he took imme-
diate steps to bring about a. speedy cure.
From the advertisement of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy and the many good recom-
mendations included therein, we concluded
to make a first trialof the medicine. To
say that it was satisfactory in its results, is
utting it very mildly, indeed. It acted
ke magic and the result was a s eedy and

A Good Word for tlfe Big.
A cynical writer once referred to the.
his as “the animal into which the devil
went anal from which he never return-
ed.” But others have spoken of the pig
in. more complimentary terms. The
Irish call him “the little gruntcr 'what
pays the rint.” In new England and
the western states where the farms are
small, he is “the squealer that pays the
taxes.” In the great corn belt of the
prairies, the pig is relied upon to pay
the interest on the mortgage and even-
tually to lift it.
There is little poetry or romance con-
nected with raising pork. It does not
appeal to the aesthetic side of our na-
ture. No poet has sung of the pleasures
of swine rearing, as they have of bee
keeping, vine growing and sheep rais— .,
mg. Most artists have scorned to paint
the pig or to carve it in marble. No one
cherishes affection for a pig as he does
fora dog, or horse. Cattle, sheep and
horses appear to enjoy each other’s ~
companionship, but none of them enjoy
the society of the pig. He is the Ish‘
maelite of the pasture and barnyard.
But for all this, for all that, and for
all the other things, the pig is the most
profitable animal the farmer can keep
in most parts of the country. No costly
buildings are required for his protec-
tion, and he needs no grooming to keep
him clean. He will eat anything and
convert a larger proportion of any kind
of feed into a. marketable commodity
than any domesticated, or wild animal.
Ele multiplies faster than any animal
kept. on farms, and his young mature
at an early age—Rodney Welch.
Agricultural (Io-operation.
At the 28th annual co- operative con-
gress just held at Woolwich, England,
it appeared that there were over 1800
cooperative societies in England, Scot.-
Iand and Wales with 1,500,000 members,
a capital of over $75,000, 000, an annual
business exceeding $250,000.000 and
profits of some 825,000,000. These soci-
eties buy most. of their supplies from
the English wholesale society, which
does a business of nearly $50,000,000 a
year. France has nearly 1200 similar
00- operative stores, with a membership
of 300,000 and sales of $20,000,000 a
year. ,
Tito era of world-wide low prices of
proa‘...;e has boomed the cooperative
idea among European farmers. The
sooner our American farmers realize, its
possibilities the better off they will be.
No “matter what legislation may do,
self-limp Wlll ever 0:: the successful
farmer’s standby, but cooperation will
greatly assist farmers to help them~
selves. Therein lies its strength,
Agricultural cooperation received
much attention at the recent congress.
It was shown that the great system of
cooperative stores, the outgrowth of
more than fifty years of development,
afforded a ready market for all produce
that could be raised on farms co-opera—
tively managed. The form of coopera-
tion advised is the joint purchase of
farm supplies, joint ownership of ex-
pensive machinery and of breeding cat-
tle, joint sale of produce, co-operative
working up of produce into some more
profitable form, as butter, cheese, wine,
etc. and mutual insurance of buildings,
stock, etc. American and Canadian
cooperative creameries and insurance
companies have not yet been much
copied in Great Britain, but are Widely
employed in other countries.
Lowest Prices Ever Known.
The prices at Chicago on- June 26,
1895, of farm products marked the low-
est general average ever known.
Taking representative country points,
bids sent out to country shippers, based
on the market, by receiving anil com-
mission houses, were as follows:
The price on N 0.2 corn on track at
Dnawa, 1a., was 13' 1-2 cents a bushel,
and on No. 2 mixed cats, 9 1-2 cents.
Within territory represented by Belle
Plains, Eastern Iowa, the price of corn
was 18 cents, and cats 11 cents.
Pork was within 10 cents of the low-
est point ever known, and lard was
about ready to be given away.
Helped His “'ife.
“Nathaniel Hawthorne,” says his
daughter, Rose Hawthorne Lathrop,
“did not fear to help his wife in their
early married life, by doing the house-
work when she was not strong enough.
Moreover, he did not do it with surly
innuendoes and sudden snarlings. nor
did he abruptly stop and sit down to
niggardly reproach. He washed dishes
and cleaned knives and cooked, like a
prince of fairy-tale reliability and gen-
tleness. No doubt he swore—but no
imp of the kitchen could make him
swear out loud. This is the princely ‘
nature of the worker 'who is a. true
man.”
Art in China.
The Chinese are perfectly satisfied
that their civilization is 30,000 years
old, and that, consequently, their art.
flourished and had reached its height
when Our ancestors were still compan- .
ions of the bears in caverns. This is no
longer discussed; it is a. dogma, in which
every self respecting Chinaman believes
with an immovable faith. Moreover,
some historians have t ken the pain to
furnish proofs perfect y convincing.
A llfiuisterial Intelligence Oflice.
The editors of The Presbyterian J our-
nal, of Philadelphia, have organized a
Ministerial Bureau for the purpose oi
bringing into communication ' unem-
ployed Presbyterian ministers and
churches needing pastoral services. A
fee of $5 will entitle a. minister to twelve
applications for a. church, and every
minister obtaining a. charge through the
Bureau will pay to it. in monthly instal-
ments 3per Cent. of his first year’s sala-
ry. ' Churches desiring the aid of the
Bureau in get-ting a pastor will pay a
fee of $10.
