Danseuse Behind the Scenes.

Now let US view the ballet from be-
hind the scenes. Here is danseuse who,
with radiant smiles, passes from the
foyer, dashes on to the stage, which she
traverses in four revolving leaps, executes
a pas before the fOOtlights, saluteS the
public most winningly amidst thunder
of applause, and turns to walk up the
stage toward the wings" And the
moment that her back is turned to the
public the smile vanishes, her face be-
comes serious, her features are grimacing
and drawn with fatigue, and as she
passes us we see that she is painting for
breath and bathed in perspiratiOn. And
by the time she has finished dancing she
will be SO worn out that she will scarcely
have strength enough left to crawl up
stairs TO her dressing room, where she
will need TO be rubbed down and tended
like an overtaxed race horse. This is the
reality, the reverse of the medal.-Theo-

Her pur Made Useful After Death.

One young couple who saw the Storm
ing of the ice fortress the other night was
not annoyed by the crowd. Some time
ago the young lady's favorite pug dog
died, and as a memento of the departed
she had its hide tanned. She carried along
this skin TO stand upon 50 that her feet,
which, by the way, are of generous
mold, should not become chilled by the
underlying ice and snow. This was found
impracticable. however, because of the
continued and violent movement Of the
crowd. So the girl rolled up the skin and
held it in her arms so that it closely re-
sembled living pug. The young man
who escorted her is something of ven
triloquist, and whenever some anxious
spectator began to elbow in their direction
he caused the counterfeit pup to utter a
snarl so terrible as to check the move
ment of the elbower. Soon the bystanders
acquired the idea that the pug was suffer
ing with hydrophobia, and left the young
deceivers extra standing room.-Albany

The Queen and Crescent Route to the
South challenges attention as having the
best appointed service of trains and the
fastest schedules of the day. The track is
in faultless condition, sleepers and coaches
are of elegant pattern, and few stops being
made by the Limited Express train after
leaving Cincinnati, no difficulty is expert
enced in obtaining accommodation of the
highest standard. The line penetrates the
richest mineral and cotton sections, and en-
route to New Orleans and Shreveport the
phenomenal cities of Chattanooga, Gads-
den, Birmingham and Tuscaloosa are passed.
A journey south. via Queen and Crescent
Route, is recommended.

Shoemaking Statistics,

The principal American shoe factories
are at Lynn, where mostly shoes for fe-
males and children are made, and Haver-
hill, in Massachusetts. Nearly all the
New England factories are owned by resi-
dents of Boston. Over 1000 ''pegging
machines" are now in operation in the
United States. One of them will peg TWO
pairs of women's shoes per minute, cut
ting its own pegs from strips Of white
birch at the same time. A thousand cords
of wood are cut into pegs every year in
this country. The wooden peg was in
vented in 1915 by Joseph Walker, of Hop
kinton, Mass. All machines for sewing
shoes are also of American invention
