LEARNING TEE DANCE.

Until THE winter the minuet has been
regarded by the dancing-masters as a
fancy dance, and it has frequently been
difficult to teach tproperly, because 1t IS
n dance that requires two persons, and,
as a rule, there has been but one pupil
at time in a school. Thus it happen
ed. naturally enough. that many of the
pupils OF the minuet to-day are the
dancing-masters themselves. VINO arc
obliged to perfect themselves in it in or
der to supply the demand Of their pa
irons. IT is usually taught by ladies,
because the movements OF ladies' IN the
dance are OF very great importance and
make by far the most picturesque fea-
ture Of It. The writer wandered into an
uptown academy few days ago and
found that a lady teacher, who was at
one time famous baliet-dancer, was
taking advantage OF the absence OF pu-
pills 1T that hour to instruct one of the
waltz teachers in the minuet. For at
least half an hour they courte sled 70 each
other and looked up at the ceiling. and
put out their feet and swayed about the
empty room. and the lady WAS chatter
ing all the time TO her pupil and to the
writer IN explanation OF the various
movements through which she was
putting him.

first attitude OF the minuet.- Following
that comes the bow which is q most diff
cult accomplishment ] think it quite
likely that one of the reasons why the
minuet went out Of favor was the very
considerable degree OF skill which is re-
CURED to dance it properly. 1t is even
easier 10 learn TO become q 6rst-rate
Walter than an Indifferent minuetist, il
can use the word. The bow is made
by drawing the right foot back
and placing tho toe upon the
floor and bending the whole
weight OF the body back upon it and
keeping the left loot square down upon
the floor. The lady should sink herself
as far as possible without losing the bal
ance. As she goes down the heel Of the
left foot may come slowly off from the
floor, but the heel OF the right foot must
not touch it. IL is an exceedingly trying
movement until one has mastered it and
it takes not only muscle, but some nerve
to keep the equilibrium. In this move
ment the lady must not take her hands
from her skirts her eyes must be di-
rected slightly upwards and her head
should not bow forward ; it shonld
rather turn little bit in tne direction OF
the eyes. The movement must be made
very slowly and the recovery executed
with equal deliberation.
1.-The gentleman's bow during this
interesting process is Of much similar
nature. 1t consists in laying his hand
upon his heart and bending forward
very low. Partners should recover at
the same moment
THE PAvANE.
"There is another dance somewhat
similar to the minuet in its
measured etiquette and that is
the pavane. In that the lady's
bow is very similar to the one in the
minuet, the difference being that she in
clines her head forward and looks down
upon the ground. 1t sometimes is
harder thing to prevent ladies from
looking upon the ground than to teach
them to Keep their balance upon their
toes. remember when | was studying
the ballet in Paris that the teacher was
always crying out, Come, ladies, are

The minuet went ont Of fashion as a
sacrifice to the passion for novelties, and
in the growth Of the walt, which became
universally popular and admired, 1t was
entirely forgotten and probably would
have disappeared altogether from the
world if it had not been for the theatre.
There are several classical plays in which
the minuet figures as n bit OF stage spec
tacle. In spite, however, of the admira-
BILE beauty OF the dance and the interest
it always arouses IN the spectator, 1t IS
very frequently the case that it is omit
ted in the performance OF plays OF which
it was originally n feature. This fact
shows more strikingly than any other
the narrow escape the minuet has had
from sinking into Oblivion, for 1t IS
part Of the actors business to learn fancy
and society dancing, and the one reason
why the minuet IS omitted IN the per
Torrance OF plays is because the actors
do not know how to dance it. There
have been. however, few artists who
have studied it, and thus kept 1t alive.
"RRBuNIE REVIVED IT.
Yot it might never have taken hold
upon the popular interest had it nat been
for the comic opera Ermlnle. 1t
will he remembered that one OF the
most striking incidents in that opera IS
minuet danced by the entire principals
OF the opera 1t was not that the " Er-
mimic people danced it so well, OIL
though their performance was excellent
ne that the ODera had such a long run
that the spectators grew to be fond OF
the minuet, and TO long to dance it them
selves. This may be speculation, but 1t
is fact that after "Erminie " had been
on the boards in this city for several
months the dancing-masters received
more applications than they had ever
had before from pupils who wanted to
learn tho minuet. These applications
have been increasing steadily since then
until now the best teachers are placing
it upon their curriculum Of studies, and
nearly all of them look forward to seeing

Hydrophobia Attacks Mr.. Myers Mare
and She Is DESTROYED.

About three weeks ago the EVENING
JOURNAL spoke about mad dog which
had killed a number of chickens belong
ing to q man named Elliott, living at the
Forty Acres. The fact was also noticed
that he had bitten several other dogs. At
least one of these. dogs has since
gone mad, and while suffering from the
rabies bit q mare belonging to a man
named Pierce, who resides at the Forty
Acres. The mare was severely bitten about
the nose. Mr.. Pierce lwho, by the
way, has the name Of being pretty flip
man in horse trade) determined to get
rid Of the animal as soon as possible.
About two weeks ago he met ]. A.
Myers, who resides on the New Castle
road near the place OF Randolph Peters
and asked him to swap, and after the
usual talk Myers's horse was traded for
the bitten mare. Mr. Myers was pretty
well satisfied with his trade, as nothing
seemed wrong with the mare until this
morning, when Mr.. Myers came 60 town
While at the Forty Acres he noticed
that she was unusually restless and when
he approached her, she rushed at him
with open mouth aud snapped Rt him
viciously. A gentleman passing
at the time and attracted by
the strange actions Of the mare, stopped
and recognized the animal and, remem-
bering the fact Of the brute having been
bitten by a rabid dog, declared that the
poor beast had hydrophobia.
The owner then called Police Officer
Moilitt to his assistance. Mr., Motits.
although good officer, had no desire 70
court The dangers of hydrophobia,
and being an ingenious man he
borrowed a team from huekster
In the neighborhood and getting into the
wagon directed its owner to hack him up
TO withinla safe distance Of the rabid
equine. Then, with a clothes line he dex
terously lassoed the quadruped and get
ting into the wagon, holding the mare
by the line, the poor brute was brought
to the city pound at Sixth and Tatnal
streets The animal was seen there
about II o'clock and gave every
evidence of being victim Of
this dreadful disease. She would
not remain still a moment, continually
pulling at the long ropes that held hel
on each side, and she had Ions
snow white strings Of slobbei
hanging from her mouth. She
was suffering the most intense agony
10 was concluded that the animal must
be killed. She was therefore shot ans
killed by Officer Mofiitt, an EvEEIN,
