ENGLISH FASHIONS IN DANCING. '
There has been a great improvement ii;
the style of dancing in this country dur-
ing the last three or four years. The
fashion of mad galops and Waltzing which
resemble the charges of football players:
has temporarily gone out and the salsa a
lrois temps has come back into favor.
Shall we ever see a resurrection of the
old minuet, which so perfectly conveyed
the poetry of motion 1‘ It is a rather cere-
monious dance for these times, but a lit-
tle cultivation of that courtliness of do-
memor which, first gave rise to the term
“ ball-room mannerS" would perhaps do
some of our English youth no harm.
Beau Nash would have been scandalizcd
~ at the style in.wliich many of our young
gentlemen bob their heads instead of how
ing. and we doubt if the curtseys of our
best-trainedyoung ladies would pass
muster befofeghislcritical eye.‘ ' There is
a cubbislinoss in some youngsters which
make them ashamed to be graceful in de-
portment before ladies. They are grace
ful enough in their athletic sports. their
riding, rowing and cricket, for in these
pursuing grace is called “form,” but no
form has yet men set up as a standard to
be attained in ball-rooms. So we see
young fellows who are very Apollos with
their 'zephyrs on shrink up into slouchiug
figures when they put on their dress-coats,
and shambleforward with awkward guits .
’ to 88k 8 girlto dance just as if they were 5
afraid of being laughed at. Yet we have
never heard of a really well-mannered
and gmoeful'dgncer being laughedateven
by the most gawkish coniemner of soci-
ety pastimes. ‘Perhaps if the fashion of
slow dancing iskept up for a few years
longer it will lead naturally to a rovwol
of the grace which comes from carefully
executed movements. and the result will
be seenin a greater. polish of manners

SHINGLES.
. ?
It is just as easy to tell what is in a barrel by looking at the outside ‘
as it is to tell the quality of shingles by looking at the outside of the
bunch. And yet nine-tenths of the shingles are bought from drummers
without being seen until delivered. I think, I sell the best shingles in
this market and as a natural result, I sell more than all others put to
gether. I seldom buy without a. personal examination of the mills, the
mode of manufacture, the standard of inspection and sorting, and the
stock from which they are made. 'Then the uniformity of the grade is
secured and can be secured only by the brand of a reliable maker, as
very many are taken in from country mills and sold under a single brand
by a grocer or furnisher of mill supplies, who never owned a mill or
made a shingle. I have seen thousands of these shingles sold here in
this market. 1 offer

A Marine Curiosity.
The “San Diego World”s:1_vs: “A little=
girl while playiu'g on the beach found in :1
small pool of water the most curious marine
butterfly it has ever been our good fortune
to behold. We say butterfly because its‘
hues are so gorgeous, although in appear-
once it more resembles a grub. It is about
an inch and a half long, and is composed 175'
a gelatinous substance. Dr. Barnes, “'lln
examined it with us, thinks that it is a ver—
tebrate, but we confess that we could see no
evidence of urticulatibn. Two very long,r
antennae projected from the head, and two
smaller prongs erect themselves like plumes
further back on the head when the thing is
in motion. , It has two strong orange colored;
prongs, which some of the spectators were!
disposed to call his eyes, dependent from the l
head. Its back was covered with what looks I
like a bright orange fringe. Small as this]
creature is, those spiculze count by the,
as the uondescript evidently propels and
guides itself by them. The body and belly
of this marine curiosity is a bright purple. .
It can contract and expand itself at pleas-
ure, and is as garish us the brightest butter-
fly of the fields It is probably of the some

Dr. Pctzholdt, of the University of
Uni-pat, says it is a fact long known to
chcmists that the aqueous vapor in the at-
mosphere, due to the evaporation of sea
and salt lake waters, invariably contains
chloride of sodium, which is precipitated
to the ground by rain and dew. He is
not aware, however, that the phenomenon
is- more striking on the coasts of the Cas-
pian and Aral Seas than in other similar
localities. In the Annalen dcr Chemie and
writes that ”All the rain-water which
fell in Giossen (Hesse) during two years,
in 77 rain-falls, contained salt."
It is evident, says the Nature, that we
have. much to learn respecting insects
which go through their early stages in
seawater. It notes that an American
coutmnporary asserts in its December
issue that there is an account byA. W.
[’varsou of the larva of the dipterous
family Sh-nliomyiilloe that was found by
him beneath Zostera on the beach near
tl 1c mouth of the Merrimac RIVer. With
:1 few exceptions all marine insects are
either coleopterous or dipterous, and it
is the latter order especially that shows
itself the most diversified'in point of lar-
val :ulaption to extraordinary conditions.
Both MM. A. Honles and do Pietra‘
Santa confirm the belief of the salubr‘us
notion of copper on the health of persons
engaged in the manufacture of articles
into which that mineral enters largely
or wholly. They base their conclusions
largely on the history of the village Tarn,
Durfort, which has statistics extending
over at least a century, and they conduce
to show that the whole of the individuals
engaged in the copper industry, whether
as smiths, forgers, braziers, &c., are, on
the whole, as long-lived, if not more so,
than the individuals in the same district
which may happen to be engaged in
purely agricultural industries.
Ayrton and Perry’s electrical tricycle
is an open-fronted machine of the ordin-
ary pattern with the treadles and driving
gear removed. The.driving wheel is 44
inchesin diameter, and close to it is a
large spur-wheel containing 248 teeth.
The motor is slung from the seat plat-
form. The armature spindle carries a
spindle of 12 teeth, gearing into the spur-
wheel, the machine being thus speeded
down 20 to 1. The battery, composed of
Faure, Sellon-Volkmar cells, occasion-
ally, and sometimes of a combination of
the two devices, is slung from the back-
bone and axle, and when fully charged
contains a store of electrical energy equal
to the conventional two-horse power.

Not less than the large sum of $30,000,-
000 is asked by the budget of the present
Ministry of Public Instruction in France.
Halfthis amount is to be devoted to the
primary and infant schools. The grant
in aid for astronomy and meteorology is
$200,000, and this is exclusive of local
credits voted by Marseilles, Toulouse,
Bordeaux, and Lyons for their astronom-
ical observatories, Besancon, Cluermcnt,

FORESTS AND DRAINACF.
Cover :1 table with a thick stratum of
spongy moss and pour on a gallon of
water. The water will ooze through and
trickle down the table, but very slowly,
day by day. and that process of filtera-
tion will continue for a. long time; foul
hours after the table will still be dripping
wet. Then remove the moss and empty
the same gallon pot on the centre of the
table. This time the deluge will p011!
down in a t 'ck rush and four hours
later the table will be as dry as if noth-
ing had happened. With the same dif-
ference of result a rain shower acts on a
with its net-work of moss and roots, ab-
sorbs nine-tenths of the moisture, and
yields it slowly in brooks and perrenial
springs. A naked hill permits it to pom
down in rapid deluge, brooks swell to
torrents and rivers to seas; but in the
Summer time those same rivers shrink
to shallow creeks, their head waters in
plant and the bamboo'could be grown '
“apple of his eye” in or out of his carriage. \
