A LONG DANCE.
An Old-Time English Actor Who
Skipped From London to Norwich.

Boston Gl0De.
The longest dance on record is probably
that of William Kemp, an actor Of some
celebrity IN the reign of Queen Elizabeth.
He was comedian and danced all the
way from London to Norwich.
He was attended by laborer. a servant
and an overseer, and it was doubtless n
good thing for him that there were no
omnibuses or police then, for they prob
ably would have imposed more imped j.
ments in the way of his progress than did
eral presents OF goats and crooked six
pence for LUCK, and laden with these
danced 10 Stratford without rest.
There many invited him to drink, but
the n otes of the tabor cut short his jocu-
larities. and ha pranced off to Ilfnrd,
where he had to reject another earouse
that was offered to him. From Ilford he
danced in the n moonlight to point near
Romford, ana that ended his first days ex-
plot. Subsequently he went In for early
risings to avoid market people, and
though suffering from a sprain of the hip
which he received, he danced it we'll again,
to the delight of the crowd that ac.
com mpanipd him, some 200 in number.
When he reached Chelmsford he was so
exhausted that he could not dance at all
for time, and his fourth days dance was
hard nne-thick woods on each side and
lanes full OF deep holes. so that some
times, he says. he "skipt up to the waist"
which must have placed him woful
plight. He rested Braintree and danced
three miles off his next days journey.
His next stop was at Sudbsrry. where a
butcher tried to dance with MIN, but in
half mile Ire was tired and had to give in.
He danced tha ten miles from Bury to
Thetford in three hours. His next stage
was to Rockland, from which point his
host attempted to accompany him, but lay
down from fatigue at the end of two fields.
When he reached Norwich he had to
dance in and out Of the city twice. for his
overseer missed him in the crowd and
made him do the distance over again TO
avoid any possibility Of error.

the mellow jingle of the peculiar Persian

the mellow jingle of the peculiar Persian
camel-bell.
He strained every nerve, and the sound
rapidly came nearer, while the wolves
bowling was broken, and there seemed to
be CONSERVATION in the pack.
Fairchid did not know what to make Of
it, and it never entered his head that such
thing as live camel was roaming over
the plains of Arizona. Still there was no
mistaking the SOUND. and he peered
through the now faint light In hedirec-
tion of.the noise.
Nearer 1t came and Fairchid soon made
out the gaunt weird form of the mysterious
animal of the Orient. 1t was swinging
along at good rate. and would pass the
wolf-pack at considera BILE distance, but the
sound of the bell had disturbed the AMI
mails and they sulked through the faint
light as II uncertain what was coming
Fairchild's brain was in a whirl so sud-
denly had the change come over the ap-
pearance OF things. 1t WAS impossible to
thoroughly realze his position. and he
felt numb and wondered if there had not
been some lapse in his mental power of
which he Was not con Dscious. He watched
the form of the camel until it was Just
opposite tn him. and then, without compre-
hend;ng just why, he called out the crv Of
the camel-dinner he had heard in Persia
"Kassan."
The camel stopped instantly as IL some
thing had happened to 1t that was beyond
its comprehension. 1t must have been
nearly half a century since the poor old
brute had heard that cry, but it remem-
berPd
"Kassan, Kassan." again called Fair
child, and the animal came toward him
while the wolves broke away on all sides.
Inc camel WAS conscious of It's power Of
bringing fear 10 most other animals and
walked through the pack of wolves as If
they had been rabbits. administering few
vigorous kicks at short intervals
When it reached Fairchild's side he gave
it n pat on the left foreleg and 1t at once
dropped to lis knees and he got on Its back
while the wolves growled and made a rush
toward him. But in an instant the camel
was on its feet and going over the desert
waste like the wind. The wolves made an
attempt TO follow. but few of them got
stepped on and killed anu the others were
sonn left far behind.
Fairchild's troubles were now practically
ended, for in few hours he saw o settle
ment and went that way, where as soon as
the street was reached he fell off the camel
from exhaustion. He was chafed and sore
from riding without a saddle. but after re-
manning In bed few days was all right.
The camel was put in a corral, where re
remained for few days, and then escaped
and went out on the desert again.

A Story of Adventure.

beside the fire, which he could see gradually
diving out, and he knew that when that was
gone he was doomed. AS soon as he was
sure that the fire was bright enough to
keep the beasts away he commenced firing
at them, but it was like shooting at nest
of ants. He killed dozens. 1t seemed, but
yet they did not appear to decrease in
numbers. Soon his rifle was empty, and
he commenced with his revolver. and
with that exhausted his supply of car
tridges except one round, which he con-
cluded to save until the last moment,
which he felt sure must soon come now.
The fire had got so low that only pile
of red embrrs remained and the animals
were becoming bolder every moment.
They would come very close. and Fairchiid

them to scatter and remain away for

was held a prisoner by them. He felt that

daylight came, although there was gray

felt that 1t would be an ignon,inious
death to be devoured by wolves after all
the escapes he had had from noble game.
But there seemed no alternative. 1t was
impossible to make break and run
through the pack, ard after they once at
tacked him il would all be over very soon.
His thoughts were not pleasant, and
things really seemed unnatural when he
felt that he was nearing the great divide
and had 20 idea OF what he would see on
the other side. The gray haze had in
creased in the east and there was little
light-eDough to make the nowling pack
visible. Fairchild was expecting the at
tack at any moment now and sat looking
around nervously holding his revolver in
his hand.
Suddenly the bowling of the wolves
ceased for a moment and the sound of a
peculiar bell could be heard. Fairchild
listened and thought he must be getting
deuie ented, for he recognized in the sound

At one time in the early history of the
Comstock mines in Nevada the question of
transportation was serious one. Horses
were used by the thousands ana oxen
also were unable to stand the terrible
work of hauling ore or supplies over the
mountains. A few months work and they
were worn out and had to be killed. The
managers of the mines were at their wits
end to find some means of moving their
supplies and at the same time have little
money in the treasury.
After struggling along for several years
until the road between Virginia City and
Carson was filled with the bones OF dead
animals, somebody suggested that camels
be used for the work. The Id ea was ked
"ships of the desert" was purchased.
Where they were Obtained is question on
which there are any II umber of opinions.
but the m ost common one IS that the great

ner for several years, although they oc-
casioned great deal of trouble among the
men and several shootings are directly
traceable to the fact that camel had
scared horse and fight had ensued be-
tween the ttamStPr ana the camel-QrlVer.
But on the whole they saved their owners
many thousands of dollars and were looked
upon IS a success.
They were, of course, given the hardest
work, and were often sent on very long
trips. Men who met them for the first
time moving in line silently across the
desert would often stop and rub their eyes
and wonder If they were dreaming or had
been transported to the sandy plains of
Egypt. Snon. however, everybody got
used to seeing camels doing the work of
horses, and they attracted little attention.
But about the time this state of affairs had
been reached the railroad had been built.
and the camels' work was done.
Then came the question of what to do
with them. At first an attempt was made
10 sell them, but all of the greatest shows
on earth" were supplied, and the camels
were constant expen sc 70 the company.

Compared with London houses our rows

pared with what might be in our sunnv

the care of such plants as will grow on
our stills and balconies is slight, and the
benefit derived from them is great.
A box to fit the window must first be
chosen. After the box Is selected and
lined with ordinary zinc it should he pro-
vded with some simple arrangement for
holding 1t securely in place. Clamps
which can be driven beneath the sill and
secured fast to the bottom of the box
make the simplest of all fastenings.
Put in the bottom of the box a layer of
charcoal, then fill with a good rich loan,

reference to the exposure of the window in
which the box Is placed. and there will be

needlework and laca is placed just before
the bust whence the fuliness falls. There
is a deep fiat collar, more like a cape,
which falls from over the shoulders and is
fastened low at the throat. Sometimes
this collar is gathered on at the throat,
sometimes it lies back fiat; but in any
case it is wide. The very finest Torehon
and Vaenciennes laces are still preferred
to embroideries. Where embroidery is
used on fine undergarments, il is needle
work done in fairy-like stitches, and fire.
Quently little color is introduced in this

lace-trimmed collar is seeded above the

STYLES IN UNDERWEAR.

The new underwear coolies the smart
characteristics of the fashionable frock,
says the New York Tribune. The large
sleeves, broad effects. bretelles and ber-
thas Of the evening frock are repeated in
the fashionabls nghtgown. The Empire
style, so suited to negligees of all kinds, is
used with excellent effect by the makers of
fine French underwear. and we have the
Empire gown, the Empire chemise and the
Empire corset cover. The new gown is
the most graceful and dainty of all the
dainty French styles. 1t is the habit
of French needlewomen at present TO
introduce little bit of color in the en-
broidery of their fine WINS OF nainsook.
Thus a gown in Pierrot style is finished
with the familiar falling frill, about five
inches wide, which extends from the neck
TO the waist and is hemstitched or

That New Building Cannot BE
Used Tor School Purposes.
When the new South Side High school
building was finished and turned over
to the board of education the public
breathed a sigh of relief and hoped the
last had been heard of that much dis
cussed and narrowly criticised school
building Not so. The building is not
yet ready for occupancy. 1t has been
occupied. it is true, but it IS tenanIlesS
again. Yesterday the pupils were sent
back 10 their old quarters in the
Adams school. The heating system
in the South side high school won't
heat. During the cold weather OF the
past few days the lower rooms nave
been unbearably chilly. They cannot
be occupied until they are made many
degrees warmer than they are. No one
seems to know just what is the matter,
except that the building is too cold.
Rev. NJ Falk GjertSen. secretary of the
school board, saws the board is not con-
WINGED yet that the South side building
is a failure. Similar trouble over heat
was experienced with the North side
high school. A committee OF expert
architects will be asked to examine the
building and find out, Il they can. what
is the matter. If alterations be found
necessary the board will probably have
to stand the expense. The building
was completed according to the plans
and specifications, turned over 10 the
board and accepted. The architect and
the builder no longer have any interest
in the building.
