cloth swayed rythmicallY about her
limbs as she moved, its silk
lining making a delighted perjury

patent leather toes flashed in an out

nrorements Of the SNAKE.

Art has been as inaccurate in its rep
resentation of the snake in motion as
of the horse. The snake does not
literally ''go upon his belly" scripture
to the contrary Notwithstanding, but
upon his side. and his motion results
from the use of the intercostal muscles
in such way as to contract the ribs on
one side at time. by this process and
in this position the snake can run very
rapidly, but only for a short time. He
is quito unable to glide upon per-
fectly smooth surface, nor is he able,
as most persons suppose, to propel his
whole body forward and in air when
striking.

In connection with some recent com
ment regarding the number of failures
in this country, which have been far
less disastrous in their effects than
those of other years, it may be well to
note the wave of business depression
sweeping over Europe. some of the
worst consequences being felt in Eng
land, One series of failures alone, fol-
lowing the collapse of the London GEN
eral bank, has involved the downfall of
enterprises aggregating the enormous
capital Of se5o, 1000, 600. Two years ago
the British people lost $500, 900, 600 in
South American investments, and al
most rs much more has been sunk in
Indian and Chinese securities Trade
in the East is now demoralized because
of the prevalence of cholera, and fur
Their commercial misfortune is almost
inevitable. Something of this will UNI
questionably be felt in this country.

rule more self-confent than other
women. Probably their stage t<ein-
ing has made them this way, and then,
too, they generally take them with
view to use IL in their plays, so it is
much matter of business with them
Other wcll-known women who have
taken fencing lessons are Mrs. Duncan
Elliott, Miss Turnnre, Miss Katharine
Drexell, Mrs. John c. 0sgood, Mrs.
Beaumont Smith, Miss Rachel Il. Sher-
man. Nina Harrington, Agnes Herndon,
Lillian Bacon, Mrs. T. NJ. Tying, Miss
A. M. Andrews. Miss n. Field, Elita b.
Otis, Kittie L. Chamberlain, Mrs. II. S.

Alice Fischer, Gertrude Sears. Isabelle
Urquhart, Mrs. James Brown Potter,
Mrs Leslie Carter, Louise Faber, Kate
Forsyth and Marie Jugla.
The fencing costume of woman con-
sists OF a waist, pair of pantalettes
and skirt. They are all made of the
lightest material and fit loosely. The
skirt and pantalettes only come to the
knee, and stockings should only be
worn to within three inches of the knee
cap, so as to permit of that joint bend
ing freely at all times.
A years training is considered
enough for stage business, although
women who take up with it as readily
as Miss Tempest and Mrs Langtry can
become good exhibition fencers in a
much shorter time.
Within the past few years, since
fencing has become so popular all over
the country, plays have been construct
ed around contests with the foils, in
which, when woman is one of the com
batants, she never fails to win.
Sarah Bernhardt and other French
actresses have introduced such scenes
with great success. Miss Tempest's
new opera, THE Fencing Master .
hinges upon a combat with rapiers.
Miss MacIntyre, who is so well
known to English opera-goers and
Americans who have heard her over
there, is pupil of Bertrande in fene
ling.
Among the professional women
fencers in France should be mentioned
Nine, Emile Merignac. She has sus
tanned bouts with the most skillful
masters Of the art and has established
a reputation worthy of envy at the
Nouveau Cirque, and at Bordeaux
Mates and Rheims by her admirabl,
sword play. Without losing any o.
her elegant grace she can repel sharI
attack with the rapier Mime. Gabriel
wife of The assistant fencing master o
ST. Cyr, has also won much skill. Mile
Mareelle is equally well known. She
