Dancing Among the Ancients.

Dancing has bearing on the develop
ment of the social order. The medicine
meu or priests gain and retain political
aud social powers through their skill in
leading the dance. According to Mr..
Beckwith, ''the high priest in the religious
ceremonies of the Dakotas is invariably a
chief who, through these dances, retains
his influence in the tribe" Thus dancing
gives sanction to the powers of the chief,
and is one of the necessary qualifications
for the office. 1t is thus associated with
position and rank.
In the Vedic age (2O00 B. CO. before the
rigid division of castles, the priests were
leaders of the dance at the festivals.
Later on they became all powerful Brah-
mans. The Homeric chiefs were distin-
guished dancers. Lucian says that Troy
was taken, Zeus was saved and Ariadne
ruined by a dance. And David led the
dance before the ark.-Lee J. Vance

PART H-CHAPTER V.

Mardi Gras morningin the Queen City
of Carnival!
The great day of the ante-Lenten revel
never breaks upon sleeping city, and
New Orleans was early astir, with that
unique buzz and furry which so exceed
buzz and furry elsewhere, when once
your Creole population does get wide
awake. And nothing wakes her SO very
wide as the carnival fiesta.
This one, after long abstinence, was
peculiarly exciting; and far west into
the Americanized city, away east through
quaint old Frenchtown, carnival echoes
rang and carnival sights greeted the eye
on every side.
The entire population, home and tran
sient, seemed to have beaten the sun out
of bed, and before he wiped the mists
from his forehead maskers thronged the
streets in ante-bellum number and va.
riety. For the carnival was ON in all its
general aspects, if not with all that law
ish expenditure of taste and money
which makes the displays of the Mystick
Krewe of Comus unique in brilliance
and in beauty throughout the world
Public Mosques, singly and in groups
on foot or mounted in saddle or vehicle
would prevail; masquerade balls of ev
cry grade, from decorous dance to reck
less romp, would be held, and universe
levity of public revel, strangely re
strained by influence of habit and blith
but rarely vicious temperament, on tn
hither side of license, would sway tn
hours from morn till midnight But tn
first stroke of -, in warning of AS
Wednesday, would drop the mask fror
sinner and saint alike, sending all t
their knees for penitential season c
the foods duration, with Sunday
thrown in pour lagniappe, as the Creol
saith.
And, to crown the whole, the Mystic
Krewe would give its first pagear
through the streets in five long, sombe
years.
Since it's mysterious origin, in 1855
that venerable lodge of mummers ha
annually given entertainment, instru
ton and delight to residents and visi
ing thousands, in a series of masked pr
cessions, steadily growing in grandel
of conception and richness of displa

glories of the carnival as well, and the
Krewe was but brilliant memory to
many-an eagerly expected novelty to
some.
That singular society, so secret in its
membership and methods, yet so benef-
icent and gracious in its results, was
popularity surmised to embrace the fash
ion and highest culture of the Crescent
City, as it surely did her wealth and her
artistic sense. But they who composed
it had lost riches, comrades, all save
honor, in the stress and struggle of those
bitter years; and they had not chosen
"to make Roman holiday" with the
grass yet ungrown on graves of kith and
kin. Indeed, to the present day those
tasteful pictured emblems sent to their
elect in many a distant city have borne
blank circles with those years, from 1861
to 1866, when the only revel was the red
one dedicated to Mars.
But once again the great Krewe was
to crown the carnival with one of its
glittering pageants; and round that
event conferred the keenest and most
curious anticipation of all the holiday
For. mysterious in all things, these
UNIQUE mystic societies of the chief cities
never advance the slightest hint of what
that subject theme may be which they
ever illustrate with tact and taste and
brilliance that can be appreciated only
by being seen. =.
But meantime the true carnival splri,
ruled the hours. Grotesque costumes OF
every nationality known, of many de
, signs quite unknown; bizarre monstros
tiles or cleverly initiated shapes OF
beasts, birds and even fishes, glittering
armors and cheap dominoes were met OF
every hand. Some went to their froll'
