| A COMPANY of Algerine dancing girls,
four in number, are now exciting a consid-
e-able degree of interest in Paris. Marian
and Aicha are very young and very pretty,
and the other two, both of whom bear the
name Fora, made up for the lack of beau
tiful face by certain richness of costume
and grace of gesture. The oldest Fora
Of n dc
and is said to resemble japanese idol.
The orchestra consists of a violin, guitar
and drum, and the dancing, to be properly
appreciated, we are told, should be seen III
a small room. Marian wears bodice OF
blue silk embroidered in silver, white sill
trousers, a band of purple around her JET
black hair, and earrings, bracelets, and
spangles Of gold. Each girlriSes and dances
in turn, then two or more repeat the dance
with variations. Thedark skin of the ankles
is relieved by gold bracelets. Their feet
are bare, and at first glide softly over the
floor without seeming to leave the surface
The body is swayed from the hips, and
pieces of red silk are waved by the dancers.
The cOntortiOns become more complex and
the movement more rapid as the time OF the
music increases. From the account one
would Judge that the dance is OF rather
voluptuOus nature. 1t is termed the Ori-
entail Can-Can. The girls now in Paris are
said to be remarkably fond of champagne, a
singular taste for followers Of the Prophet.
A LAWYER who had recently married a
pretty widow was mapping in the close air
of the court room, when the name Of the
lady's first husband was mentioned by one
Of the members Of the bar, causing him TO
awake suddenly. Springing to his feet he
exclaimed, sWhat what. You can't
have her." After which he blushingly ex-
planned that he was dreaming, and thought
that his wife's first husband had come to
deprive him of her.
GENERAL BANKS predicted twenty years
gOthat fortunes of S20, 900, 900 tOSJO, ,OoO,OOO
would not be uncommon at this period and
he now ventures the assertion that fortunes
Of three to five hundred millions will be
possible (thOugh not commOn) in the fu-
| ture.
| A MONUMENT to the memory OF French

descendants
