gum trees after opossums where the
bark is rough they chop holes with a
hatchet, then one throws about the tree
a rope twice as long as will go around
it, puts her hatchet on her cropped
head, and, placing her feet against the
tree and grasping the rope with her
hands, she bitches it up by jerks, and
pulls herself up the enormous trunk
almost as fast as man will climb q

A Dancers Toll.

How many people who 60 to see the
great spectacular plays Of the day think
of the unceasing toll, the hard, unin-
terrupted muscular labor which are the
lot Of the graceful ballet dancer? There
is no day laborer whose life is as labOri-
Gus as that of the dancer, for the skill
originally attained through long-con-
tinued and painful effort can be retain
ed only by wearisome, though perhaps
painless work. If this aspect of the
ballet girls life was more frequently
thought of, there would be less Of the
thoughtless popular assumption than
she is ordinarily immoral and dissolute.
The very conditions of her profession
al life require her to preserve her health
unimpaired by dissipation and if hard
work is antidote to temptation, she is
certainly triply armed. Indeed, the
art Of dancing has been employed by
certain ascetics as safegard against
temptation, and it was with this view
that the dancing ceremonies of the
Shakers we're devised by their founder,
Mother Ann Lee. The public dancer
certainly does not lead luxurious life,
and rarely dissolute one. Let us at
least do her justice when we gaze on her
graceful and hard-taught gymnastics.
