Next Monday Rice's Burlesque Com
pany will appear at the National in
the operate burlesque entitled "The
Corsair.' "The Corsuir," in spectacle,
music and pretty women, is one Of the
greatest of modern successes, and it
has had q wonderful run in New
York. Miss Annie Summerville, as
CoRgod ne C0rSdir, and Miss houise
Montague, the $4,000 beauty, as
Medeyd, the original maid Of Athens,
are in the cast, and with them, many
more of good report. The New York
Hcrdtd says: "Thc Corsair' is most
gorgeous production, and it is of that
style of burlosque for which Mr.. Rice
has become famous. His ingenuity
always exhibits itself in very deft
conmingling of song, dance, female
loveliness, beautiful costumes, and q
certain grotesqueness in his male
characters. The march and music
and the everlasting exits and en-
frances of the characters form be-
wildering and Kaleidoscope picture

The event Of the week in base

the three New York players, Ward,

In the case of Ward, whose demand

The DeiSarte system is too comprehensive
to be incorporated in an article of this kind,
but it uses no chemical appliances in its de
velopment 1t is founded on the reciprocal
relation Of body, mind and soul, and its aim
is the thorough subjugation OF muscular It's
sue 20 mental discipline. To accomplish this
the pupil is taught by various mechanical
exercises 70 take tho will entirely out OF
voluntary muscles, to dislocate members at
will as if they were dead. This requires
much more practice than one realizes, but,
ence accomplished in limb and head, there
has been attained perfect freedom of every
part Of the body from all stiffness, and also
not only beautiful suppleness and fexi-
bility of muscle, but marked development as
well. The motions used are exceedingly
simple and belong to what are called the
freeing exercises" among which are in
cluded tho following motions, together with
many more; Drop the hand lifelessly at the
wrist and with the muscles Of the arm shake
and toss it at will as if it were broken OFF at
the wrist and hung only by a string: drop
the arm in the same lifeless manner and with
the body throw it about in every direction;
drop the head, let it turn with the muscles
of the neck about on tho trunk; stand on
hassock, cut one limb off at the hip snd let it
swing without the use of its own muscles,
and SO on until you have learned to take the
will out of every member, a feat requiring
much practice.
Then comes the second step in the process,
''the controlling exercise" The pupil is
taught just what muscles should be used In
certain acts and to express certain emotions,
and the plastic muscles are readily influenced
by the controlling mind. All these mechan-
ical exercises become in time unconsciously
applied, the miud from within permeates the
| remotest tissue, and the trained disciplined
muscle responds in skilled and swift obedi
ence to its dictates Tho most beautiful ex
hibition of DelsartiGn principles may be seer

Ancient Roman Plank Roads.

The Prussian minister OF education, Won
Gossler, having learned that Professor F.
Knoke had lately found traces of old Roman
plank roads on the moor between Mehrholz
and Bragel, not fer from Diepholz, in lower
Hanover, invited that gentleman to fully in
vestigate the matter. He has just completed
the task. BE WIS able to trace the lines of
two parallel plank roads right across the
moor, presenting all those distinctive feat
ures which are found in Roman works of
this kind. One Of them shows evident signs
of having been demolished by force, the
boards, which were originally fastened with
pegs to the bearers, having been violently
torn away and buried in the bog to the right
and left of the track.
The other road seems to have fallen into
decay, but there are signs Of repairs executed
oven during the Roman period; for in places
boards have been found fastened over the
original planl:s, the fashion of both being the
same Those repairs seem to have been car
ried out hastily, for in one place mallet
employed probably to drive home the pegs
was found on the track, forgotten, no doubt
by the workmen. The local archRologists
