Tho AntInuIty.of the BALLET,

Strictly defined, the ballet is properly q
theatrical exhibition of the art of dancing
in its highest perfection, complying gener

composition and form. 1t was in existence
in Italy as far back as A. ID. 1900, the court

duced in France in the reign of Louis XIII,
and both that monarch and Louis XIV oc.
casionally took part in its dances.
In its earliest presentation the ballet APP
peared dexterously in combination with the
other theatrical acts and is said to have
completed the chaotic medley exhibited in
these spectacles, which were at once myth.
illogical, allegorical, fantastic, warlike and
pastoral" The reader will not be slow &c
observe that its development in the present
day has not apparently lost sight Of these
conditions.
About the year 100 women made Their
first appearance in the ballet, which up &c
that time had been performed exclusively
by men, as was the case also with plays
and operas, but no woman ballet dancer OF

To our amazement the Confederates, moved

He had accomplished the work without

Captain Ash, in reporting to me after

the enemy's force had not occurred to him
until he had reached the brink of the river
and found that the enemy held their works

To go on meant certain death to many OF

His risk was great, and he knew it, but
1t was better than any other course that
presented itself to his mind. Men accom-
plish in seconds under such circumstances

less correct than those attending more de
liberation.
True, no one could have foreseen that the
excitement and rapid fire of the enemy
would so far disturb their aim as to insure
that the Union officer should escape un
hurt, and still less could the effect of his
intrepid conduct on the enemy have been
foretold
Now, after the lapse of years, the story OF
this heroic deed appears almost fabulous

A novel kind of swindle was practiced

The porter said he had no money. Pass.

thousand mark note was found ON him,

The pig treats the snake with disre-
spect. not to say insolence-nothing
ophidian or otherwise, can fascinate a
pig. If your back garden is infested
with rattlesnakes, you should keep pigs
The pig dances coHtemptuously on the
rattlesnake and eats him with much rel
ish, rattles and all. The last emotion of
the rattlesnake is intense astonishment,
and establishment is natural in the cir
cumstances. A respectable and expert
enced rattlesnake. many years estab-
lished in business, has been accustomed
to spread panic everywhere within ear
and eye shot. Everything capable Of
motion has started off at the faintest
rustic of his rattles, and his view Of ami
NAL life from those expressionless eyes
has invariably been a back view and a
rapidly diminishing one
After lifelong experience Of this sort,
to be unceremoniously rushed upon by a
common pig, to be treated as SO much
swill, to be jumped upon, to be flouted and
shouted. and finally to be made snack
of-this causes feeling of very natural
and painful surprise in the rattlesnake.
But rattlesnake is only surprised in
this way once, and he is said to improve
the pork.-Arthur Morrison in Strand

Little Advice About sitting.

1t is to be observed that while there has
been no lack Of advice in books that aim to
teach good manners and in the discourses
of professors of dancing as to how to stand
or walk gracefully, we have been left very
much in the dark as to the attitudes to be
assumed in sitting. The counsel given on
this subject has been limited to a single
point-to wit, that the neither limbs should
not be crossed in sitting. This is sufficient.
As to bearing to one side or the other and
resting the elbow of the inclined side on the
corresponding arm of the chair, not a word
Less than nothing, also, is said in regard ID
that miracle Of awkwardness, the common
parlor chair, the offspring by natural proc
ess of evolution of the tabouret. There be-
ing no fixed rule, young ladies sit with the
hands clasped in the lap when ON their
dignity, and gentlemen in attitudes impos-

In dreams behold the gates above.

The French language, it appears, is

the large number of sibilant or hiss syl-

Some English words are especially diff
