drapary of the dancer. The belt may
be as pretty as desired, and it need In
no way show that 1t is different from an
ordinary piece OF cloth.
The dancer, dressed in graceful flow
ing robes, 1itS on the ''stage"- "a corner
Of the parlor partitione6 of by ferns
and paIms-and executes a few grace
full steps to slow music, while the audi
ehce is enjoying the brilliant colors
which are being turned off and on. The
color effect is accomplished at the
dancers will, by the manipulating of a
string, which is passed from the cleo
trio belt through the armhole OF the
dress and down the sleeve into the
hand, where 1t lies unnoticed.
Around the dancers neck, over her
head and for trimming to her dress
there are little incandescent lights,
which become Illuminated as the dancer
pulls the string.
The most complete way to do the
"jewel" dance is to have six young
ladies, each representing a separate
jewel and each adorned with lights 10
flash forth different %coiorS, according 10
the jewel which is to be shown.
The ''butterly" dance is another
which is appropriate for the evening
entertainment of a party of people In
the parlor. This is not difficult TO
learn, because there are few steps TO
be taken, as the "butterfy" effects are
done principally with the arms and
draperies. The most difficult thing
about it is the dress, which must be Of
some soft material, with a narrow skirt
and broad, winglike pieces fastened
upon the sides so that they can be
lifted and outstretched like the wings
OF a butterfly.
The parlor "butterfy" dance is like
q picture with only enough action to
make the wings ely" The music for
the dance is a waltz, and the wings
must be so twirled and managed that
there is a continual suggestion OF the
butterfly wings. 1t is easily learned,
and with a little experimenting any
young ladies who are graceful pupil
OF Terpsichore will have learned the
trick in a few hours. And for al even
ing entertainment there is nothing
p|rettier DOR more restIul and pleasing
10 the eye.
The ''angel" dance is like the butter
Fly in some respects, only the gowns
are pure white, and there are double
wings made by placing draperies to
hang from the shoulder as well as from
under the arms. The "angel" futter~

the quick e., 9 VIII C c rries her RAPID
ly across the floor without visible steps.
The draperies are of the finest sheen
and tiutter even with the motion OF the
fans in the audien ce.
The hands in this dance are kept busy
managing the gauzy material and are
not visible at all. The neck is dressed
high and the head has swings upon IL
OF jeweled pins and glistening gauze
lace. The ''angel" tableaux are very
pretty.
Any OF the new round dances are
beautiful, arranged as the solo dances.
Let several young ladies join hands
and dance the new deux temps across
the room and back, giving, in a slightly
exaggerated way, the steps and keep

effect will be found charming. The

The Pacific Cables.

The survey OF a lane 800 miles wide

tween the coast Of California and the
Hawaiian Islands, has been one Of the
most interesting scientific tasks ever
undertaken Dy the government. Up to

ed. The purpose of the work was to
determine the best route for a SUBJ
marine cable. Two lines o! ~soundings
were run by the United States Fish
Commissions steamer Albatross, from
Monterey Bay to Honolulu. This path
has been decided on as preferable to a
road connecting Point Conception, CAL,
and Hilo Bay, Hawaii, which was laid
out with soundings by the teamer
Thetis, U. S. n. The way selected will
require the smallest length of wire. 1t

BARON hickey

HIS PLANS TO RECLAIM A STERILE ROC
FROM THE ATLANTIC
To b a Military Dieiaorship-Sourcss o.
Sustsnancs for the Future Population
and Aids to Mariners Provided.

The island Of Trinidad OF which
everybody has heard and OF which very
few people know anything about, VIII
probably sonn be the scene OF q unique
attempt at colonization. Baron har-
den-Hickey has discovered the islano
for the people OF to-day. After careful
research and prsctial investigation ne
has foupd that this almost barren rock
off the coast OF Brazil is capable OF
supporting a good sized population,
and of becoming a by no mean unim-
portant factor IN the ommeree OF the
world. .,
He proposes to take this small island
in the South Atlantic, and not only 10
people it, out to then form a small out
ideal kingdom, which is to be governed
by q military dictatorship.
Every one who knows Baron James
Harden Hickey knows that he Is a man
of picturesque schemes aud brilliant
ideas. This contemplation OF his Is
perhaps the browning effort OF his life.
It Is certainly a task Of no mean proper
tions, and one which only a daring
spirit could enter into.

By the way, the careless student OF
geography should not coniound Baron
Harden Rlckey's island Of Trinidad
with the Trinidad over which floats the
British flag, near the mouth OF the
0rinoco.
The latter is a good sized island on
which a good many people live at the
present moment, with a we'll estab-
iished trade and a provincial govern
ment.
Baron Har1en-Hlckey's island, how
ever, is quite a different thing; 1t is at
the present time almost u~ninhabited
and has been for nearly a hundred
years. Probably only mariners know
it's exact location.

The latest New York fad is the dance

good enough for ordinary formal func-

The house wives in Florida have found
a new use for oranges. They scrub the
floors with them. Go into almost any
town ia the orange growing districts
and you will see the women use the lus-
cious fruit exactly as our housewives
use soap. They cut the oranges in
halves and rub the fat exposed pulp
upon the floor. The acid in the orange
doubtless does the cleasing, but at any
rate the boards are as white as snow
after the application. l have often
thought that lemons would be better
than oranges for this purpose, because
of the additional acldity, but have never
seen them tried.

somsthlnc About Candy AduItsrauoa.

The commonest form Of candy color
ing is tincture Of cudbear, which Is MOI
only called into requisition for candles,
out also largely used In giving the nee
essary tint OF strawberry and raspberry
ice creams. In small doses this is a
harmless drug. But other drugs used
are positively dangerous. Arsenic
crystals, which give a very vivid green,
are used TO give that tone TO candy. The
same poison treated with other acids Is
used for other colorings, such as yellow,
purple and blue.
CoLfectioners also use the dangerous
acids 10 large quantities. Lemon drops
and all lemon preparations, including
lemonade, are made from acetic acid,
and the only lemon employed is the Que
placed on top OF the bottle. These acids,
which give TO certain candles q snap"
that no lemon could ever lmpArt, are
hi hly Injurious TO the teeth, eating
away the enamel to an alarming extent.
Where these candies are largely used
the acid destroys the coating OF the
stomach also.
The most popular colorings used by
coniectloners are tbs aDlllne dyes,
which, while being poisonous In large
quantities, Aro used In the proportion
OF one ounce TO q hundred pounds OF
candy. The anlline dyes are the most
brilliant to be found 10 the druggists
warehouse.
But bv far the worst because 10 Ia
the commonest form OF positive adul-
teration Is that used In what Is consld-
cred tho simplest drug Ia the market.
II consists Ia substituting sassafrAs for
sarsaparilIa In iavorIngs. This decep-
ton is not confined To the confection-
ers, but is practiced by the manufact-
urers OF soda waters to q very large
extent.
The white candies which come under
the title OF fondants are more often than
not mixtures OF sugar and plaster OF
paris. Plaster Of paris, weighing beav-
Ter, is cheaper than sugar, aud imparts
the brilliant whiteness which sugar
alone could not.
The color Of certain golden candles IL
o~btalnable only by cooking In copper
vessels. This In itself is not dangerous.
excepting that the acids contained In
the confectionery work upon the cop
per and frequently form dangerous com
bInations. This Is particularly so when
the vessels are not kept scrupulously
clean, when copperas Is formed.-New
