were the real embodiment OF beauti-
full ideal that grew under Mrs. Burnetts
fertile pen, and we'll they did their part,
with cOurtly bows and gentle gestures,
to act the real gentleman, that highest
of all types. Their costumes were of
black velvet, with red silk sashes and
wide collars of dainty lace and mopS of
faxen hair. They danced prettily and
with evident regard to propriety.
Among the leaders, for leaders there al
ways are if knot of boys get tog ether,
were Cabbat YerXa. Thayer Bass, Clar-
ence Matthews and GreVe Oppenheim.
The dear babies had their show, too,
in this wonderful dance Of nations. The
blessed old woman that lived in a shoe
was there, and all her irrepresSible lit
tie horde. Miss Grace Hawkins Flower
made a capital old woman, with her
scanty stuff gown, her big mob cap and
'kerchief, her staff and funny mincing
gait. But why that loug-sufferlng old
woman should always be represented as
cross, cannot see. Surely cross old
woman could not have lived i'll
a shoe, not st. Paul shoe any
way; but there are other towns as
well as other shoes. The blessed babies
wore quaint little Mother Hubbard
gowns of different colors. and funny
little close caps of white muslin.
Under the wrappers also were white
''nighties," and at certain part of the
dance the colored gowns were shed, like
so many chrysaIes. and, 10! little white
angels, who knelt while Prof. Tarbox
played "Tired now. and sleepy. too"
The yell with which they greeted
the shower Of cradle pillows that
preceded the last scene, dispelled
all fear of their early trans
lation that the angelic attitude might
have engendered. a funny little mortal
about three years old, done in ebony,
was winning favorite with the audi
ence. His serious chubby face above
his white gown made an Irresistible
picture.
Mrs. Frederick Topliff wore charming
costume of pink silk and white lace
while she sang an alluring little song at
the beginning of the Spanish dances.

the hornpipe was very good. Ihls was

tom, trig white coats and sailors caps.
Miss Flora Regain wore a light blue
skirt trimmed with white braid. wnite
sailor waist trimmed with blue, ana
white yachting cap with blue Dana,
and then she danced.
The lone fisherman was unique and
above description. He had the luck OF
most fiShermen-the big fish got away.
AS to his dancing one could but tear
that he might diSlOcate himself.
In the programme of Friday night the
stately court dance took the place or
the minuet of the night before. Ihe
queer's maids danced this for her royal
tvs pleasure. but as to the pleasure or
the maids. that's question of taste:
The stately danes Of the "Old regime
wore lovely COWS of shimmerlng SILK IN
delicate shape, made in the Empire
style, with full trains, with wreaths OF
flowers above the lace at the foot, and
tiny wreaths about the high.rolled
couture. Diomonds sparkled OH pretty
necks and hands as these lovely per-
SoniferS of the women of Queen Marie
Autonette'S court, or of the court OF
some other as we'll known lover OF
beauty and grace, bent and swayed
with stately grace through the figures
of the dance.
In the gavotte, the French peasantry
dance. the costumes were very pretty.
The full skirts were of different bright
colors, with full white waists and trim
bodlceS and little fancy caps, and big
fans that were in constant use, While
the girls swayed in the graceful meas
ures, half dance and half march. The
boys wore picturesque knee breeches IN
different colOrs, close jackets over full
white shirts, gay silk sashes and little
caps.
The costumes of the Zingarellas were
as bright and gay as the pretty dancers
themselves. No dance could express
the joyousness of the pleasure-loving
SONS and daughters of the South better
than this same gay Zingarella does.
The costumes were of black lace over
white silk slips with gilt girdles that
clearly defined the dancers slender
waist. In this dance Miss Alice Day
charmed all eyes by her grace and fairy
like lightness of her movement. The
dress also emphasized her delicate
beauty. The other participants were
charming. Little could be added to
their perfection.
The Greek dancers wore the conven-
tionai Greek dress of soft white ma
terial in flowing artistic lines. Inc

The Judge, our Vienna correspondent
says. did ali unusual thing on the day of
the funeral. He brought them in chains
to the churchyard, placed them near the
open grave, and babe the priest in his
address praise the good qualities of the
victims. and end with the startling
words: And here stand their vile muir
derers at their grave" This was done,
and the Judge in the meantime watched
the three brothers faces to see if they
looked guilty. This form of eXamina-
ton caused some Indignation among the
people of the neighborhood.

An Invention That Means Much.

One of the principal difficulties, writes
Franklin L. Pope in the current number
of the Engineering Magazine, attendant
upon the efforts which will doubtless
ere long be made TO run railway trains
by electric power at a much higher rate
of speed than has hitherto been accom-
plished by steam will he that of stop
ping them within reasonable distance.
A very successful experiment has been
made at Altoona with modified type of
the Westinghouse brake the distin-
gushing feature of which is that very
high initial pressure of the brake-shoes
upon the wheels is secured, which is
automatically diminished as the speed
of the train is reduced. so that practic-
ally uniform retarding force is secured
throughout the period of application.
1t was found that with an ordinary
train, running at sixty miles per hour,
the train could be stopped within rs per
cent of the distance required by the
present quick faction, automatic brake.
With the prevailing tendency toward
higher speeds, and especially in view Of
the possibilities of electric propulsion,
these results assume an Importance
which can scarcely be overestimated.

CannibaIism an African Hoax.

London Daily News.
DIR. Livingstone, in his hitherto un-
published letter, warns his friend, DR..
Hamilton, against accepting too readily
stories OF cannibalism among African
tribes. The Manyuema, among whom
he had been then living for many
months, are reputed to be cannibals,
and the people themselves, being "a
laughterlo loving race, appear to enjoy
the joke of hoaxing the white man on this
subject. One showed DR.. Livingstone the
head of "a recent human victim" but it
proved to be the skull of gorilla. DIR.
Livingstone perseveringly tried to get
a sight of one of the cannibal orgies
which the traders profess to have seen
or heard of. but in vain. lie offered
goods of the value of pound sterling
to any one who would call him to see
human flesh cooked or eaten, but moth
ing came of the offer. Livingstone con-
trasts this absence of evidence with the
terrible traders tales he had heard at
Ujiji and the information given by adj
jacent tribes. ''If had believed" he
says, "a tenth part of what l heard l
should never have ventured hither."
