LITTLE WILLIE.


Poor little Willie
With his many pretty wiles;
Worlds OF wisdom In his lootA
And quaint quiet smiles;
Hair Of amber. touched with
Gold Of heaven SO brave;
All lying darkly hid
10 a workhouse grave
You remember little Willie;
Fair and funny fellow be
Sprang like a lily
From the dirt Of poverty;
Poor little williel
Not a friend was nigh,
When. from the cold world,
He crouched down TO die.
In the day We wandered foodless
Little Willie cried for bread;
In the night We wandered homeless
Little Willie cried for bed;
Parted at the workhouse door.
Not a word We said;
All, so tired was poor Willie.
And 10 sweetly sleep the dead
Twas In the dead Of winter.
We laid him In the earth;
The worts brought In the new year
ON a tide OF mirth,
But, for lost little Willie
Not a tear we crave;
Cold and hunger cannot wake him
In his workhouse grave.
We thought him beautiful
Felt il hard TO part;
We loved him dutiful;
Down, down, poor heart
The storms they may beat;
The winter winds may rave;
Little Willie feels not
In his workhouse grave.
No room for little Willie;
In the world We had no part;
On him stared the Gorgon eye.
Through which looks no heart
"Come to me, said Heaven;
And, II Heaven will save,
Little matters though the door
Be q workhouse grave

An ingenious Yankee, with an eye to
adjusting himself to his environment,
has moved a reorganization of the cal
endar. Winter, he contends, should be-
gin on Jan. 1 and include March; spring
should commence with April and in
clude June; July, August and Septem-
Der should constitute summer, and the
fall, beginning with October, should not
end till after Christmas. His new cal
endar would play the mischief with ira
ditions, but it would come nearer to ac-
tual experience than does the present
antiquated European article. The pro-
cession of the %equinoxes is too slow alto
gether for the American climate. Facts
are on the side of reform, and if the
weather does not speedily repent and
bring forth fruits more, meet for repent
anoe than rank grass and dropsical pota-
toes, the newly established department
of agriculture will be called on to revise
the calendar.-Brookfyn Citizen.

Men great in deeds are often taciturn.
Does their t%aciturnity arise from the diff
hdence which fears lest words should ex-
coed deeds, Or from n conviction that
safety is promoted by silence? Wash
ington's reserve made him stiff, formal
and i'll at ease in company, but it also
prevented his plans from being betrayed
to an enemy and the country from being
deceived by his promises. William the
Silent was frugal of words, because a re-
serve that concealed his designs, even
from those acting with him, was neces-
sary to the independence of the Neither
lands. A writer in Leisure Hours says
that the most dramatic of silent men was
Wallenstein, the antagonist of Gustavus
Adolphus, and the commander of the
emperor's armies in the thirty years
war. He insisted that the deepest silence
should reign around him. His officers
took care that no loud conversation
should disturb their general. They knew
that n chamberlain had been hanged for
waking him without orders. and that an
officer who would wear clanking spurs
in the commanders presence had been
secretly put to death. In the room of
his palace the servants glided as if phan-
toms, and q dozen sentinels moved
around his tent charged to secure the
silence the general demanded. Chains
were stretched across the streets in order
to guard him against the disturbance of
sounds. Wallenstein's t~aciturnity, which
made him shun speech, and his love of
silence, that caused him T. be irritated
at the slightest noise, were due TO his
constitutional temperament. He never
smiled, he never asked advice from any
one, and he could not endure to be gazed
at, ever when giving an order. The SOL
diers, when he crossed the camp, pre-
tended not to see him, knowing that a
curious look would bring them punish
ment.-Boston Budget.

A Queer Mine of valuable Wood.

Forty miles above New Orleans is the
old bed of the Bonnet Care crevasse.
Fifteen years ago the Father of Waters
burst his bolts and swept through there
to Lake Pontchartrain. Five years ago
the state of Louisiana, with the assist
ance of the Mississippi Valley railroad,
rebuilt the Bonnet Care levee, but it
could not restore altogether the condi-
tions prevailing antecedent to the Gre
vase. The river in the ten years it
passed through the swamp piled up its
sands against the big cypress forests
there. 1t has left behind a buried for
est. Tho piled up sand has deadened
nearly all the trees, and a shingle mill
is now at work there manufacturing
them into shingles with all the rapidity
with which that machine works.-New
Orleans Times-Democrat.

An incident in the life OF the gifted,
warm hearted and lamented Carlotta
Patti is well worth reporting, although
to a few persons 1t may prove a twice
told tale. When Miss Kellogg's musical
ability was to be tested many years ago
In New York a large number of cards
were issued to the musical critics, anna
teurs and professionals, to the literary
and theatrical world, and to many high
in the social scale, making a formidable
audience for the introduction of the
charming young girl. The tenor with
whom h debutante was introduced was
ungenerous on the occasion, for, instead
of singing his part, he merely hummed
so much of the air as was necessary to
serve Is a cue to the orchestral accom-
paniment- Weak and faint were the
first notes of the young novice; weaker
and more trembling they seemed to grow,
as If a genuine stage fright had taken
possession of her. Her voice luttered
for a moment, as If about to desert her,
when, distinct and clear as a bell, from
the center of the house, the air was taken
up and carried along until the debutante
gathered the courage and heart to show
the high quality she possessed, when
gradually the beautiful voice in the audi
ence fell away and the difficult aria was
finished in triumph amid thunderous ap-
plause. The fate of the future American
prima donna was that morning decided
through the ready tact and unselfshness
of the little woman in the audience, who
proved to be none other than Carlotta
Patti And a charming picture she
made" says N who saw her, marking
the time with her tiny hand, in her anx-
iety to help n woman and n stranger,
placing the very crown of success on the
otherwise defeated aspirations, by the
encouragement of her own exquisite
voice; and never" he adds, "until 1 near
the wondrous voice of the angels will 1
hear anything SO sweet as her lovely
voice at that morning rehearsal SO many
years ago."-Boston Transcript.

Let the point of junction Of The shoulder
bone with the lower bone Of the arm be level
with the palm Of the hand, the shoulders low
and always motionless, elbows round and well
supported, and the fingers gracefully grouped
together. Tho position and carriage of the
arms must be soft and easy. Let them make
no extravAgant movement, nor permit the
least stiffness to creep into their motions.
Beware lest they be jerked by the action and
reaction Of the legs; this is a great fault and
sufficient 70 spoil a dancer, what perfection
soever she may possess In the exercise Of her
legs
The head should never be held exactly per
pe~ndicular, but should incline "A little TO the
left or right, giving tho lancer n vivacious
and pleasing expression. Dancers should
learn from chhste pictures OF sculpture and
painting the real mode Of displaying them
selves with taste and gracefulness.
Take care TO make the arms so encircling
that the points Of the arms may be imper-
ceptible- Having given his readers n pretty
good idea of the disposition TO be mnde of the
body In parts as a whole, Mr.. Headlam takes
up the dance itself with Its various steps and
movements. He thinks n truly good dancer
should throw into her steps n sort of light
and shade, and by exactness of the perform
ance distinctly mark each variation. The
"grande temps" should be wide, bold and
easy 10 De most eftectlNe, with the ending
firm and upright on the legs In the "terre a
terre" steps there cannot be too much &C
tfvity about the instep, nor the feet bent too
much downwards, as the first gives brilliancy
and the latter grace. In the "-enchninnents"
variety and novelty should be the constant
aim, with no elevated steps or long puuses&o
cause GOODNESS. The "entrechaln is a laht
step, during which the legs rnscdS cross
each other while in the air, as mang as four
teen times in some cases. II is better tss0oid
too much OF an effort, as 1t causes too much
of a muscular effect to be pleasing 10 the
spectator. The most elegant "entrechals"
are done by opening ut the third cut.
As to the styles OF dancing, the serious is
the hardest and most eXacting, as it requires
close study and can only be appreciated by
connoisseurs This style is as good MS lost
through neglect. The dancer suited for such
should DO large and symmetrical. The demi-
character dancer should be of middle stature
and fine form The style is a mixture of all,
but with the grand efforts OF the serious
omitted. The comic and pastoral dance
should DO left TO the smaller and thick SGT
performers, and these should study the nat
ural habits Of the country they wish to rep
resent.
Men must dance In n manner very different
from women; the temps de vigeur and bold

material upon Carlo Blasts "Cod OF Terp-
sichore,n that was given to the world in 1923,
when Blasts was principal dancer at the
Kings theatre. Mr.. Headlam puts his OBJ
1ect In appearing as an author, according TO
The St Louis Globe Democrat, as tho wish
''to enable tho public to understand better
than they do at present how difficult the art
OF dancing is, 50 they may more fully appre-
ciate dancers and their performances"
Under tho head Of general instructions to
pupils, the author gets down TO the opening
OF the business of his book. Practice is the
essential for perfection, and no other art de-
minds closer attention. Temperance In all
things must be strictly observed, and no other
exercise must be intermingled. Particular
attention mus 10 paid tho carriage Of the
body and arms, with their motions easy and
graceful, and always In accordance with those
of the legs Equal regard must be given both
legs in every lesson and exercise, so one may
not excel the other. Care must be taken to
acquire perpendiculnrity and an exact equi-
nbrium, with the performance correct and
precise, the steps brilliant and light, every
attitude natural and elegant. A sort of
abandon must be thrown into tho positions,
the countenance must be animated and ex-
presive. The dancer must be- vigorous but
not stiff, rapid Of movement, careful to bring
all details into harmony, In exact concert
with the music, easy In execution and salts
fed with the style OF dancing tho figure and
physical powers are best suited to.
Ono a the chief things is to acquire n facil-
ity of turning the legs out completely. To
this end relax the muscles aboutthe hips that
the upper part of the legs may move freely
and the knees turn out. Practice will bring
some wonderful results in such direction. The
bending Of the knee must be easy, precise and
elegant. II the body is long raise the legs
higher than the general rules direct, and IL
short let them be kept a little lower. Many
persons are what arc called closo legged, and
as many others bow legged. Pains must be
taken as far as possible to remedy these de-
fects. The first is better adapted for the So
rious dance, and should preserve a gentle
hexibility in her execution, never extending
the knees except at the examinations OF open
ings, steps and attitudes. The bow legged Is
hotter at character and humorous dancing,
and should endeavor to keep tho legs well to-
gether.
The body should be, as n rule, erect and
upright on the legs. The chest should be
thrown out and waist held in, with n gentle
bend, and much frmness about the loins con-
tinually preserved during the dance. There
must be no affectation, however. as this mars
everything. The head, shoulders and bust
should be supported and encircled by the
arms In every movement, 30 that they may
present all together n graceful picture, the
legs participating In the harmony. In the
steps the body must be quiet, firm and I'M
shaken, yet easy and plant.

Long and Quick Jumps.

Harry Kennedy, the ventriloquist, has
been pluming himself upon a long
Jump" made by him from New York
to San Francisco and back. He made
the trip in one day less than a month,
and played two weeks in San Francisco.
But George Rignold has the best record
at this sort of theatrical travelling. He
went from San Francisco direct to New
York to play ut a charity matinee, and
at the close of the performance wen
direct to the depot, and was at once
headed back for San Francisco. He did
not tarry there either, but proceeded to
Australia--San Francisco Argonaut.

DEM COMIC DANCERS.
n disagreeable effect in the latter, who must
shine and delight by bright steps and grnce-
full motions, and by a modest voluptuousness
and abandon in all their attitudes.
NEIL O
The American theatre going public has
not a~ffectionate. There are, In truth, not
very many actors and actresses on the stage
In this country who nave really inspired
their audiences with that kind of personal
regard that is said to be so common in Eng
land. Among the few, however, it is safe to
say that Neil Burgess is numbered. The first
news that the accident by which he was so
frightfully burned at his home in New Jer-
soy not long ago would prove fatal probably
caused many n person a momentary pang OF
sorrow who had never seen him off the stage,
who only knew him with the glare of the
footlights in his face, Later, when the doc
tors said he might possibly live, his many adj
mirers fetched a sigh Of relief, which was
intensified still later when the news that he
WINS ON the high road to recovery was sent
out. This last pleasure was tempered, how
ever, by the statement that Burgess would
never be able to GO on the stage again; that
"Josiah Aliens Wife" would henceforward
pe Obliged to send her homely wit to cheer
mankind through the lips of some other and
probably less genial actor, and that the
Wid Bedott" must in the future, for d
time at least, be presented by a stranger.
Burgess was born In Boston forty-threo
years ago. When he was still a youth he
