Dancing is a universal instinct with Spanish women. The _ ual feria at Seville is largely aii orgy of dan< /ig. As evening approaches everywhere one begins to hear the sound of castanets and to see the gracious movements of the seguidilla. the univers: 1 Andalusian dance. But the fundamental instincts of the Spaniard for -in:-■ 1 the serious and profound way in wh . b it expresses the temperament of the people are perhaps shown by nothing else so much as by the ex:---:. • ..f religious dancing in Spain. At the time of St. Thomas of Villaneuva. bishop of Valencia. it was customary to dance before the sacred elements in the churches of Seville. Toh-10. Jerez and Valencia. Religious dancing continued to be common in Catalonia and in Roussillon (the most Spanish of the French provinces) up to the seventeenth century. But a real '>i in. pie survival of religious date >ng is the .lance of the wises in Seville <•■.- :r I. when the choristers, wearing the same costume as they were 4’»> years ago. perform a dance to the accompaniment of castanets in the space between the high altar and the choir. Dancing is - imetliing ui >re than an amusement in Spain. It is part of that solemn ritual which enters into the whole life of the people.—Twentieth Century Home. Tree 1 hnl Torn, to Stone.

The lobster has lieen endowed by na ture with two gifts which go far to off set the evils attending his lot. One is the ability to tight early, often and all the time if necessary, and the other is the ability to grow a new member -an eye. a leg or a claw—whenever the original is lost in the fortunes of war or by .reason of any domestic unpleasantness, it is these two gifts which enable hin> to grow up and liecotne a useful mem ler of society- most of his memliers being secondhand, so to sjieak. by the time he is really grown.—Four Track News.

I’m not sure I i .m explain it satisfactorily, but I know it to lie the case.

"It is amazing how many simple sounds there are that we can’t imitate, try as we will. There is. for in-tance. the sound of a person walking, the sound of a typewriting machine in operation, the sound of running water, the sound of it breaking dish. You can't imitate those commonplace noises, and I doubt if any one in the world can. Our vocal capacity seems to us large, but it is really limited enough—as limited as that of many animals and much more limited than that of certain birds.

The great host of insect mns.emns are performers upon instruments. 1 >* M tlev play upon fiddle- and ea-tan* that are a part of themselves, the so-.;..1s they produ.-e are truly instrumental. The winged musicians are commonly of two kind- those that u-e their wings as instruments and those that do not. Os tie latter are the cicadas or harvest flies, incorrectly called locusts.

The locusts and crickets possess acute hearing. I heir courtship is carried ou entirely through the medium of their serenades. The males remain in one spot playing upon their instruments. The females, undoubtedly attracted by these songs, seek the players with untiring energy. Most remarkable is the character of tbe sounds pr.Hiuced in relation to tbe instruments played upon. I hese instruments seem much too flimsy to produce metallic and far reaching sounds. The sound producing portion of the wings is unlike the musical instru ments of man. But the tightened, parchment-like sounding board and the manner in which the wings are scraped together i-orresjiond somewhat to a stringed instrument. “With the crickets proper tbe wings are raised almost or quit* vertically while stridulating. With the locusts the sound producing organs .-ire elevated, so as to permit a scraping motion. Always the musical organs are attached to the fore wings. The hind wings are used only for flying. The fore wings of the cricket are for the most part taken up by the sound producing. tightly stretched portion. Tills part is strongly but openly veined, anil the toothed vein or bow extends en tirely across this horizontal portion near its base. The roughened edge where tbe toothed bow scrapes, is upon the inner margin. The right and left fore wings are precisely alike, so tl*a' either may lie used for the bow or the fiddle.—Chicago News.
