A nor- mally healthy woman can dance with impu- ‘nlty just as the can ride a home or play ten- nie, but comparatively low American women are normally healthy. Moreover, a woman in a ball dress is almoet invariably laced too tightly, and I never knew a woman who‘ danced who did not dance too much.

That old, oldI questionâ€"is dancing morally right, wrong or indifferent I has again cropp e up in New York, owing to the energy of a newspaper correspondent. He collected a great many opinione on the subject, but it. is doubtful if a single person will alter his or her mode of lookin at the subject bv one iota {or all the trouble t at was taken. The opin- ion of one l[‘iihyeioian is worth quoting in par-g. He ea Ean a madman, at least it shocks our sensi- bilities to destroy the life of a human being, because of an act for which presumably be is wholly irresponsible. \Ve would of course destroy a mad dog under such circumstances, but a mad man we think ought at the worst to beimprisoned for the rest of his earthly existence, or at anyrate until there are good grounds for believing him cured of his mal- ady. “Without going more deeply into the subject, it may be said in passing that. even on mounds of mercy to the unfortunate wretch himself, apart from the question of protecting the community, something might be urged in favour of putting even an un- doubted madman cut of existence as speedily as possible. And in cases where che insanity is only possible or probable, it is easy to, push the thecry of irresponsibility much too far. How would it work in the case of the Wlhitecha el “ fiend" for example? Sup- ‘pose that eing arrested, tried for murder 1 and sentenced to execution. In no case probably has the insanity plea ever been set up with greater plausibility than it could be set u in his case.

Would anyone say on that account that he is so irresponsible that his life should be spared, and refuge in an asylum granted him for the remainder of his days? Would there be many deprecating voices raised even were such a being executed within twenty-four hours of his condemnation 2 This is onl an extreme hypothetical case of course oiw at this insanity plea may issue in.

The facetious reporter adds: “They are the finest in the land, rained on Holt county soil and weigh on an average about a pound apiece.” A New England paper claims to have full returns of the potato crop of the world, and lays the ield of New England is a fair aver- age; in Nyew York, below the average: in the West, not a full cro ; in the rovinces Nova Scotia and Prince dward slands, large, and in Europe, very short. This may be tol- erably correct, but all the same we have an unusually large crop of potatoes in the “feet, and prices are firm.

There is something to put back. I noticed, with a sense of shame, that those English farmers had great quantities of cotton-seed meal that we are so short-sighted as to send abroad when there is real need of every pound of it for home consumption."

The last work published by Mrs. Preston was “Colonial Ballads," the most charming of all her volumes. It. is a remarkable collection of ballads, sonnets and vet-see, treating of early colonial tradi~ tiona md incidents. Judges and councel. connected with the Parnell Commission are the victimsof threat- ening letters. Both sides are being treated to threats of this sort from cowards who are afraid to sign their names. It may safely be concluded that the perpetrators of the outrages are no friends to any cause they may pretend to advocate. The met hope- less cowardice is that which is not ashamed to display itself in a threatening letter and which shields itself behind the impossibility of discovery of anonymous attacks.

It rose to about the same‘height and shed as much luster centur- ies ago as it does today. The old arguments were the same, and the chief effort has been to reduce Christ to the level of other men and the scriptures even below the level of other books. and coupled with their endeavor have been various efforts to blot out the conviction of God’s existence and govern- _.__L ment.
