One waltz Makes a Vile Almost.

From the London Chronicle.
1t seems to be quite an error to regard
the nimble-footed folk who are just now
dancing their way through the season as
mere effeminate idlers. An ingenious
French statistician has been calculating
the precise amount of exertion they 60
through, and he comes to the conclusion
that every quadrlle or set of lancers is
equivalent to walking a mile and a quar-
ter at fair but not excessive pace. A
waltz on the other hand represents a
smart spin of three-quarters of a mile
the average mazurka, polka, or "pas de
quatre" falling short of that total by a
couple of hundred yards or so. He reck-
ons that any person who makes a start
at 10 p. m. and lives to the finish at 5 a
m, never missing a dance, will have Gov
cred at least thirteen or fourteen miles
most of il at a running speed. Few people
who have done the usual round of Lion
don day would care to trot on foot to
Hampton Court after dinner with halts for
refreshment on the way, but presented
under other aspects the. feat appears not
only easy but enjoyable.

How Mrs. KipIins Saved the "Reces-

From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
One OF the newspaper men who inter
viewed Rudyard Kiplng during his recent
visit TO South Africa writes of him in the
Cape Times:
He takes his work hard. He is ire
rneudously in earnest about it; anxious
to give of.his best often dissatisfied with
his best. He is quite comically dissatis-
fed with success; quite tragically haunt
ed by the fear that this or that piece Of
work, felt intensely by himself In writ
ing, and applaudcd even by high and
mighty critics, is in reality cheap and
shoddy in execution, and will be cast in
damages before the higher court of pos
terity. When Rudyard Kipling had writ
ten THE RecessionaL" which two hemis-
pheres felt 10 be one of the very truest
and soundest pieces OF work done by any
writing man in our day and generation
he was so depressed by its shortcomings
of his private conception tnat he threw

Thence Mr. Kipling rescued il. But for

New York June 30.-The continued dull
ness of the stock markets to-day justified
the judgment of the members of the Stock
Exchange that II was hardly worth while
. to keep open for Saturdays half-day's pre-
cedins Mondays holiday. great part Of
to-day's business consisted of closing up
and evening up outstanding contracts pre-
paratory TO the three-days' cessation Of
trading. This dullness in the market in
face of the actual existence of war is in
striking contrast to the extreme nervous
ness which dictated the abolition of the
usual Stock Exchange holiday on Good
Friday last, when there was daily expec-
tation of the presentation Of the report
on the Maine disaster 10 Congress and an
outbreak of hosulities against Spain.
Stock Exchange members then insisted
upon holding a session to afford opportu-
nifty TO sell stocks IN the fear of what has
now actually come TO pass and which, hav-
Ang come 10 pass finds prices at an ex-
tremely high level firmly maintained Dun
