Afraul to rtanre.
The complaint is made that the mod
ern young man docs uot take ns kiud'.y
to dancing as h's father or grandfather
before him. The general opinion seems
to b that our roun-j men di not dance
because they fir1 lazy. Another opinion
tfven is th.-.t they are afraid of the
modern young woman; that is, that
they flee from the dance because danc
ing leads quite naturally to proposing.
When they have aked a girl to dance
a certain number of times, it comes
quite natural to some young men to
ask her to do something even mors
foolish, and these young men steer
clear of danger. When young men
are abl to contemplate matrimony
with more equanimity than is possible
In these expensive days, then it is sug
gested that tiny wil! begin to dance
again; but while young women expect
to begin then- married life with as
many servants and as large an amount
of pin m'mey as their wealthy papa
furnish them with, the young man be
ginning life trembles on the brink of
such a venture. Domestic Monthly.
Drlak Water for Health.
Probably the majority of people
flrink too little water. Tea, coffee,
beer, wine and other drinks are in
dulged in; but these liquids are not a
substitute for water, which is one of
the most important of a'l substances
required for the nourishment of the
body. Water is required by the sys
tem to the amount of two or thres
pints daily. When the skin Is un
usually active, as In very warm wea
ther, the superfluous heat of the body
must be carried off by evaporation
from the surface, and a still larger
quantity is required. It id probable
that the hygienic value of water as a
drink Is not appreciated. Some per-
sons are even so unwise as to pur- Buffalo, and has been In use In sav

Ha Nailed the Central Thought.
Into a Maine village where he had
preached when he was a licentiate with
more hopes than fame, there came a
few Sundays ago an elderly and pros
perous doctor of divinity. After the
morning service an old, white-haired
man approached the doctor, and, hold
ing out his hand, said:
"Glad to see ye. I want to thank ye
for what ye said this morning, and to
tell ye that ye preached a sermon here
years ago I've never forgotten."
Pleased by such remembrance, the
doctor grasped the proffered hand
heartily, and said:
"By flie way, what was that ser
mon? I don't seem to remember."
"Well," answered the old man, "I
don't remember the text, nor I don't
remember what you called the subject,
but the cfvntral thought was that the
ology ain't religion; no, not by a d d
sight!" Lewlston Evening -Journal.

No building lu this city Is better
known than the National Academy of
Design, corner of Twenty-third street
and Fourth avenue, which has been
the princ pal home of art In this city,
for thirty years past. The famous
building has been sold to the Metro
politan Life Insurauoe Company for
i;1ii.mn, and It Is expected the Ac
ademy will net about .Vk).(Xk from
the investment, for the purchase of &
new site and the erection of a new,
building, which, of course, will be fur
ther up town. The Insurance com
pany has consented to allow the build
ing to Ik' tked for Its present purposes
until May. 1;mi. The selection of a
new plot for the future Academy has
lieen entrusted to the hands of George
Rende. the well known real estate
Ug'It.
The National Academy of Design
was founded In 1S02. and is undoubt
edly the leading art society of this
country. It has a collection of paint
ings and gives spring and fall exhi
bitions of the recent works of Am
erican nrt'st. and-also maintains free
schoo's for the advanced students la
art.
It Is probable the new building of
the Academy" will be located In the
vicinity of Forty-second street and
Fifth uveuuc The members of the
AeaOeny of Hes'fjrt.
Academy feel much pride In the suc
i cess of the society. It maintains a
j reputation with the academies of Taria
i and London, and has numbered most
of the famous artists of this country
I among its members. Its Instruction,'
! which Is by the best teachers in this
country, is absolutely free. Merit
' alone can gain entrance to its clashes,
ns n money Is ever received for
tult'on. The Academy also maintains
many stud-nts in Germany and France
for the study of art. There are two
classes In every branch one for men
and one for women and the women
have an equal chance in every respect
! with the men.
The sanitary condition of the tene
ment house districts of New York has
1 in en greatly Improved within two
; years. One result is seen In the fall
1 ing off of the death rate, which is
ibout 10 per cent, less for the first half
i t 104 than for the corresponding
'pirlod in lMi?.. although the popula
i tion has Increased. ' The reduction in
the death rate of children under fire
' vears of age was stll! greater. Work
' u connection with the tenement house
' census brought out the rather curious
i fact that one-fourth of all the deaths
j n New York last year were in jails,
hospitals or other public Institutions,
j The number of deaths so recorded was
i ltl.tB". Of these only about l.OK)
rou'.d be traced back to the tenement
houses. The death rate in the tene
' tnent disfricts is now about the same
: as that for the whole city. This is a
' remarkable showing, considering the
rrowded condition of many of the
tt nements, especially on the east side,
! where the population Is so largely of
j recent foreign importation.
I The Police Commissioners have pro
; rislonally accepted a new election
j booth for use in this city. A sample
has been on exhibition for the past
' week in the yard at Police Ibadquar
' ters. The booth Is manufactured by
the Portable Steel House Company of
nooks secured to the wall of the honse.
These form the sides of the booths. A
shelf Is secured to the part of the wall
nartitioned off. A curtain hung from
New Votlnit Booth.
in Iron rod, joining the top of the side
walls, hides the voter from the view
it the Election Board. There are also
booths and opening on the side of the
house, while the other door opens on
the end.
There Is a large table in one corner
where the ballot boxes are placed, and
several chairs for the election clerks.
This part of the house is separated
from the booths and the voters by a
steel guard rail through which a chain
j passes. An arrangement has been
iniido by the Police Commissioners
whereby tho booths may be purchased
I after two years' use for $223. They
j are only leased at present.
The work of securing the adoption
i of the Greater New York scheme,
I which is to be submitted to the voters
i this coming election, has been taken
! up with great earnestness. A non
nart'.san earnnaicu will be vigorously
I prosecuted, which, to Some extent, will
tvershadow even the contests for uov
