Among the colonists, gud especially the Boers, the hair of the flipspringer is in consequence in great de- maud for stuffing saddles.

Value of Kinduess In Animal Training.

Vicious horses are generally the result ofa violent, barbarous training, and when the greater number cf the horses in any wuntry are tricky and hard to manage it means that they belong to a brutal pop- vation. From time immemorial the con- trary has heen the case among the Arabs, where colts are brought up and exercised with almost maternal solicitude. ‘The

child amuses itself by petting and playing with the colt of which he is some day to @ sobetherider, and the horse and his cavalier grow up together. The earliest education othe young animal begins in the family, Inthesame tent. The colt is constantly looked after and caressed and is never chas- tied except for acts of malice or disobedi- ' @ee. He is given the choicest dainties of ) fod and is gradually accustonted to make © Bimself useful. When tho bit is put in his mouth, the iron is covered with wool, so that it shall not bruise his lips, the wool

Abtiquity ef the Sir Roger de Coveriey and the Skirt Danwee.

An old gentleman of my acquaintance told me once that he still dances ‘Sir Rog- er:de Coverley.’’ “} enjoy that dance with all the nerve, sinew and muscle left to me at the age of 70,"’ he said, “if only in hon or of its time benored tune.”’

Did you know that this supposed ‘time honered’’ dance has no real antiquity te recominend it, since, although it was not ‘“‘made in Germany,’’ it really belongs to a period when mos! English customs be- came modernized with theadvent of Dutch William.

That worthy but fictitious knight, Sir Roger de Coverley, was simply a creation of Awdison’s, who first antroduced him in The Spectator of March 2, 1711, with the remark that his great-grandfather was the inventor of that famous country dance which. is called after him, which hamorous assertion doubtless many years subsequent- iy gave rise to the well known tune, but country danees, pure and simple, were fashionable at the court of King Charles Ii, were of French origin and replaced the old English jig, also derived from the tune, and which is mentioned by Shakespeare (Hamlet addressing Ophelia, act 3, scene 1),

‘““Country”’ dance is merely a corruption of the French *“‘contre,’”’ because the danc- ers faced each other,

Sir Roger is adduced by Addison as typ- ieal of a country squire of the reign of Queen Anne.

Im the original dance the first lady and bettem gentleman had to kiss each other when they met in the center, and so on, throughout the performance.

What is much more interesting on the- seore of antiquity is the modern ‘‘skirt dance,’’ which can be traced almost to prehistoric times. An Anglo-Saxon lady may be seen in the act of performing a: veritable skirt dance to the music of a !yro-. and flute in one of the contemporary ‘l- luminations at the British museum. She is the object of much admiration to the spectators,

The oldest and most stately dances cf England were those of the court of Queen Elizabeth—the ‘‘Corantos,”’ the ‘Gal- liards’’ and the very ancient “Pavin,”’ while the ‘ Lavolta’’ answered to our ol@ fashioned slow time waltz.

The cotillon, by the way, simply means. the under petticoat, as its name implieal It was so termed from the necessary ex» posure of those garments by ladies when holding up their gowus.—New Orleans. Times-Democrat. . : ea

Strange inconsistencies and perversion$ are revoaled in the feminine chatacter when a woman becomes addicted to bar- gain hunting, according to Carrie E. Gar- rett, in an articleon‘**The Bargain Ma- nia,’ in The Woman’s Home Companion.

“Sometimes the proud possessor of 3 bargain will meke the most extraordinary and expensive efforts to save it from such oblivion, as in the case of the lady who bought some bargain buttons. She waited a reasonable length of time, thinking they would ‘come in,’ and, as they never came in, she purchased a dress to match them. Such heroic action is net at all uncemmon among bargain hunters. This was the same lady who perchased a bargain smiok- ing set and, having no earthly use for it, began the pernicious habit of smoking cig- arettes efter dinner.

“It is odd how such a woman will gloat over a bargain and on the strength of tho brilliant transaction immediately, commit some extravagance to offset it. ‘Well, as this was so cheap, I can afford to buy that.’ Then will she patiently go to many stores and obtain regular prises in order to establish the character of the bargain aa such. But what is her anguish of mind if she discovers that she might have bought the same article a little cheaper at some other piace! A woman constantly pose sessed of the bargain idea is. iikely to carry it into all her dealings with mankind-~ social as well as commercia), Aside from the economic standpoint, the spirit of ever seeking to get more tham one pays for is, to say the least, not mentioned in the cata- logue of Christian virtues. She is likely to be penny wise and pound foolish, ex- travagant of time and money, and, oh, worse than all these, badly dressed! Choos- ing one’s clothes fortuitously at bargain sales is apt to result in an, incongruous as- sortment of merchandise difficult to knit together in one harmonious whole.”
