ORIGIN OF THE WALTZ.
Is Supposed to he q Relic of Heather
Worsbip

Worship
Like everything else that touches
humanity, the waltz did not emanate
In its present form from the brain OF
a dancing master. Long before 1880,
the time we find 1t first mentioned
under this name, its graceful curves
and cadences were displayed on the
village green's, as we'll as in the grand
salons of the palaces; it had its alter
natives Of vogue and neglect, its sup
porters and detractors. The waltz, like
many other secular things, we find
first in the church, where, in spite OF
barbaric disorder, it serves to trace the
union between ancient civilization and
that of the middle ages The sacred
dance Of the pagans is preserved to
certain extent in Christian rites; 1t Is
transformed to a series of revolutions
made to the sound of the tamborine.
st. Isadore, archbishop OF Seville, born
about A. D. $50, was intrusted by the
council of Toledo with the revision OF
the liturgy, as 1t was then practiced
in the Roman Catholic church, In
which there was a tamborine dance.
The council decided to adopt the lsa-
dorian liturgy in all Spain, and 1t diff
fered but little from that used In other
countries at that time This rite, cell
ebrated before the eighth century,
when the Moors first invaded Spain,
was still celebrated by the Christians
in the seven churches of Toledo, which
the Moors abandoned after their cap
ture OF the city, and was, after that
time, called the Moorish rite. This
was known and employed in Provence
and Italy. The tamborine in use in
this religious dance was called by 81.
Isadore "moite de symphonic, and
evidently correspondent to the instru-
ment which, in the ancient sacred
dances, accompanied the flute, sort
of bagpipe invented two centuries be-
fore Christ. And thus, as the religious
dance of the middle ages is allied to the
ancient sacred dance, so the waltz Is an
evolution of this religious dance, hav-
ing passed through many changes peg
fore arriving at its present form. In
the eleventh century, when the Gre
gorian rite supplanted the Moorish rite,
the dance disappeared from the church.
1t appeared very quickly In society un-
der the name carole, word derived
from the Latin 'caroler," afterward
under that of basse dance, in which the
grand relates, kings and dignitaries did
not disdain to join, composed OF three
parts, two very slow and one very
lively. The people-and at this time
all who were not of the clergy or roy
atty were the people-used the latter
part-called the tourdian. which, light
er and more lively, appealed to them'
and. little by little, 1t became changed.
In Italy 1t was first separated from the
rest under the name Of romancesca,
and from there 1t passed into Provence
and southern Germany. In Germany
it was developed into the gaillard and
volte, while the Germans, more dreamy
and slow, changed the romancasca In
to the allemand and waltz. The vote
succumbed, while young, to oblivion, In
the sixteenth century, by the very rea-
son OF its excess, but the German lived
long, and produced the waltz which
reigns today.-London Musical Courier

WORLD'SRICHESTMAN
HE LIVES IN LONDON AND
WORKS IN SOUTH AFRICA.

said To he Biiiionaire--A Partney

cbilds.
(London Letter,

The richest man in the world Is
without doubt Londoner who spends
mostly all his time in South Africa,
and who Is almost unknown in Eng
land. 1t is said that he is the only
living Millionaire. and his power Is felt
all over South Africa and the far east.
This man, Alfred Belt by name, Is only
46 years old. In appearance he is
plain. almost shabby, and no one, un-
acquainted with him, would think him
possessed of millions. More than any
other man except Rhodes he is respon-
slble for the present war with the
Beers. AS young man Belt was sent
from johannesburg to the diamond
mines at Kimberley. He was only %,
but he had skill enough to see that with
proper management the mines were
only at the beginning of their life. He
had rich father in his German home,
who backed him with abundant funds.
and young Belt began buying with
marvellous results. He was soon joined
by another man whose name Is now
In the mouths of all-Cecil Rhodes.
Rhodes was backed by the Rothschilds,
Belt by his father, and together the
two succeeded in forming the great
diamond trust, which, under the name
OF De Beers, now controls practically
the whole output of the most precious
stones in the world. At the De Beers
mines in Kimberley Messrs. Belt and
Rhodes do things on a big scale. Nine
years ago they admitted that up to
that time they had taken something
like nine tons of diamonds from their
mines. The mines yield a profit of
close on 100000 a year and pay a
dividend of 40 per cent. Last year
