DANCING.
1t Has Always Been Popular Amuse-
menr-O Origin of Dances.
Dauoit Free Press.

From time immemorial dancing has
formed one of the chief amuseMents of
mankind Repeated mention Is made Of
it IN Holy Writ, and among the ancient
Egyptians 1t constituted very prominent
and popular religious rite. Without a
doubt the Israehtes gained their know
ledge during the days Of their captivity
in the land of the Pharaohs.
The q reeks of the oden times indulge
in.war dances, chief among which was one
that became famous under the name of
Pyrrhric dance. In this the dancer de-
picted the actions of warrior engaged
in doing battle. the quick and agile move
ments being made to the accompaniment
of a flute.
There were, we are told, 200 different
dances in vague among these Greeks. In
ancient Rome dancing was one
of the chief features of the
of the magnificent fetes for which the en-
pire became so famous.
Oae particularity of the principal dances
of savage nations is that III nearly every
instance they initiate the movements Of
animals. This is evidenced in the buffalo
and bear dances of the North America
Indians; the bear dance of the KamSchat
kanS and the kangaroo dance of the ab-
original Australians.
Among oriental nations the majority of
dances are performed by professions, the
private individual being perfectly willing
to pay to see others, but seeing neither
rhyme nor reason in dancing himself,
The Hungarians. Russians and
Spaniards have characteristic dances,
most of which are performed by gypsys.
The polka and redowa of the HungarIans.
and the Spanish bolero, fandanGo and
cachuca have become famous all over the
world The popular quadrille is said to
have originated among the Belgians.
The waltz had its beginning in Ger
many. and from thence was taken to
France, shortly after which it was in
troduced into England Hungary was
the birthplace of the galIopade, or gallop.
and from Poland clme the stately polon-
aise. or pOlacca and mazourka.
