To Clean Kid Gloves.

Kid or s"ede gloves can be cleaned by
being placed in small basin and covered
with benZoline After soaking a few min
utes knead and squeeze them well, and any
specially soiled part, such as the tips Of the
fingers, may be rubbed separately. After
rubbing any part immerse the whole glove,
or 1t will b. marked with the rubbing.
Squeeze out one at a time and draw quickly
on the hand and rub lightly and evenly
over with a soft, clean rag until perfectly
dry. If the rubbing is heavy or unequal
the gloves will be streaky. Draw the glove
carefully from the hand and hang it in a
current of air for few hours. Benzoline
is highly inf1ammable and must not be used
in a room with either gas or fire; even
strong sunshine is better avoided.

ORIGIN OF THE WALTZ,
Not of German Derivation, but
Sacred Pagan Dance.

Not of German Derivation, but
Sacred Pagan Dance.
From the London Musical Courier.
The opinion most generally conceded IS
that France received the waltz from Ger
many toward the close of the eighteenth
century, and among many beliefs this con-
tains the most truth, but the justice of at
tributing to Germanic influence the renais-
sance of the waltz in France does not of
necessity verify the statement that 1t had
its origin in German. Like everything else
that touches humanity, where nothing is
born spontaneously, but everything Is the
product of series of successive evolutions.
the waltz did not emanate in its present
form from the brain of dancing master.
Long before 1880 the time when we find it
first mentioned under this name, its grace
full curves and cadences were displayed on
the village greens as well as in the golden
salons of palaces; it had its alterations of
vogue and neglect, its supporters and de-
tractors. The waltz, like many other sec
u.ar things, we find first in the churcn,
where, in the midst of barbarfc disorder 1t
serves to trace the union between ancient
civilization and that of the middle ages
The sacred dance of the pagans is pre-
served to certain point in Christian rites:
1t is transformed to a series of evolutions
made to the sound of the tambourine. ST.
Isidore archbishop of Seville, born about
A D. $50, was intrusted by the council Of
Toledo with the revision of the liturgy as It
was then practiced in the Roman Church.
in which there was a tambourine dance.
The council decided to adopt the Isidorian
liturgy in all Spain. and 1t differed but lit
tie from that used in other countries at
that time. This rite, celebrated before the
eighth century, when the Moors first in
vaded Spain, was still celebrated by the
Christians in the seven churches of Toledo
which the Moors abandoned after their
capture of the city, and was after that
time called the Moorish rite.
This was known and employed in Prov
ence and Italy. The tambourine In use In
this religious dance was called by St. Isl
dore ''moite de symphonic and evidently
corresponded to the instrument which, in
the ancient sacred dances, accompanied the
flute. sort of bagpipe invented two CEN
turtles before Christ. And thus, as the re-
ligious dance of the middle ages is allied to
the ancient sacred dance. SO the waltz Is an
evolution Of this religious dance, having
