The Dangers Of Dancing.

THE Pau Mall Gazette says: AT an
inquest held in London on the body of a
young lady who died suddenly, a few
hours after attending an evening party,
of apoplexy, the Coroner remarked that
1t was pity to saw anything against so
healthy and pleasurable exercise as
dancing, but it most certainly produced
apoplexy In certain cases The cases in
which death is directly produced by
dancing are happily rare, but. the seeds
OF death are often sown in a ballroom,
not so much from dancing as from the
circumstances under which it is carried
on. For instance, what can be more
likely to produce apoplexy or some seri-
Gus illness than the practice of eating
ices when thoroughly heated by violent
exercise: Again, the atmosphere OF
many ballroom, crammed as it often
is with three times as many people as it
can comfortably contain, is enough, of
itself, to poison anyone not acclimatized
TO suffocation by previous training.
Then there are the sudden changes of
temperature to which young ladies, INSULT
cient.y clad, are exposed on leaving the
heated rooms as they return home, over
tired, and in precisely the same condi
ton under which such changes of tenn
perature are likely to affect them if they
have any tendency to lung disease The
late hours also which are necessarily
kept in the season cannot be otherwise
than very prejudicial to the health of
both young and old, and probably cause
many illnesses that are unjustly credited
to other sources. There is, in truth,
great need of reform in most of the
social habits of the present day, and the
wonder is not that one young lady is
killed by dancing, but that any, save
the strongest, survive the amusements
and dangers of summer in London"
