The Antiquity OF the Ballet.

Strictly defined, the ballet is properly
theatrical exhibition of the art of dancing
in its highest perfection, complying gener
ally with the rules of the drama as to it's
composition and form. 1t was in existence
in Italy as far back as A. d. 1900, the court
of Turin in that day making especial use
of it and the royal family and mobiles TAX
ing part in it, The ballet was first intro
duced in France in the reign of Louis XIII,
and both that monarch and Louis XIV oc-
casionally took part in it's 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 to
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 to
that time had been performed exclusively
by men, as was the case also with plays
and operas, but no woman ballet dancer of
any note appeared until 1890, or about
century ago-Music and Drama.

An Electrical Display.

A church society of the standard grade,
not many miles from the Newtons, has
completed a handsome and commodious
house of worship. The society has occu.
pied its house but a few times, but long
enough to find it nice in every way, except
that when the full force of the electric lights
is turned on it makes disagreeable glare
for the full services of a Sunday evening.
So the head of the building committee
talked with the pastor and some of the
leaders, and they decided that it would be
practical and best to turn off the switches
controlling the side lights during the body
of the services, but to have them on during
the coming in and the singing, and then
during the benediction and the going out
of the church at the close. This plan was
tried for the first time Sunday evening.
The man at the switches was a little new,
but he thought he could manage it. The
Introductory hymn was over, and the pas.
tor arose in his place and began:
81 am the light of the world"
Out went the side lights, leaving the
worthy clergyman in food of radiance
from the lights just beside him.
His hearers smiled, some even Uttered
The pastor himself scarcely carried a sober
face through all the services.
The end of the meeting was near, and all
the congregation noticed hsw much better
1t was to have the electric lights shine only
on their light of the world" 1t was about
time to pass the boxes. That must be done
in full light, The deacons and the ushers
were ready with their long handled solicit
ors.
The clergyman read, Let your lights so
shine"
On went the full force of the electric side
lights. Then the audience would have ao
tually laughed out loud only it was alto
gether TOO light.-Boston Herald

running lengthwise. The end fences
are made up entirely Of gates. as shown
