DANCING IN RUSSIA.
1t II Not a Mere Dress Parade, But tn .
Guests keenly Enjoy
Real Dance.

The modern society ball in America
is little more than dress promenade,
but in a Russian ballroom the guests
actually dance; they do not merely
shamble to and fro in crowd.
crumpling their clothes and ruffling
their tempers, and call it a set of
quadrilles. They have ample space for
the sweeping movements and compli-
Gated figures of all the orthodox ball
dances, and are generally gifted with
sufficient plastic grace to carry them
out in style. They carefully cultivate
dances calling for kind of grace which
is almost beyond the reach of art. The
mazurka is one of the finest of these.
and it is quite a favorite at balls on
the banks of the Neva. It needs good
deal of room, one or more spurred Off
GERS and grace. Listen to the descrip-
ton: ''1he dash with which the part
ners rush forward, the clinxing and
Gathering of spurs as heel clashes with
heel in midair, punctuating the stac-
cato of the music; the loud thud Of
boots striking the ground, followed by
their sibilant slide along the polished
floor; then the swift springs and sud-
den bounds, the whirling gyrations and
dizzy evolutions, the graceful genuf1ec-
tions and quick embraces and all the
other intricate and maddening move
ments to the accompaniment of one Of
Glinka's or Tschaikowsky's master
pieces, awaken and mobilize antique
heroism and medieval chivalry."
There is more genuine pleasure in be-
ing the spectator of a soul-thrilling
dance like that than in taking an active
part in the lifeless make-believes per-
formed at society balls in many of the
more western countries of Europe or in
America.

The India Famine.

Nature holds out no prospect of re-
lief to the famine which has prevailed
80 long in India, but on the contrary
there is every prospect that the con-
ditions will be worse this year than
last. In the course of a recent speech
on the budget the viceroy, Lord Cur
zon, said the loss to the wheat crop
caused by the drought during the pres
ent year was from eS.0oO.000 to E 1o,-
100000. He added that the loss to the
cotton crop was 100000, while the
oilseed crop, usually covering 1s,ooo,-
600 acres. was nonresident outside Of
Bengal and the northwest provinces.
The loss to cultivatorsi in Bombay
alone, in food crops. was Els. eco 900
and in cotton 6 100000. It. was inn
possible, he said, for any government
to anticipate the consequences of .
visitation cfsnature on SO gigantic aad
ruinous q scale.

ICE CREAM SANDWICHES.
A Novel Rejection That Is Sold from
Pushcarts in the Bowery
of New York.

There are ham sandwiches and sal
mon sandwiches and cheese sandwiches
and several other kinds of sandwiches
"a downtown restaurant advertises
80 arieties-but the latest is the ice
cream sandwich. AS a new fad the
ice cream sandwich might have made
thousands Of dollars for it's inventor
had the novelty been launched by
well-known caterer, but strangely
enough the ice cream sandwich made
it's advent in an humble Bowery push
cart and is sold for penny, says the
New York Mail and Express.
The idea is worthy of better field,
for the ice cream sandwich is not only
distinct novelty, but has merits of
it's own. It will be appreciated by the
child who on eating ice cream for the
first time wanted to have IT warmed.
While losing nothing of it's flavor, the
thin waters which go to make up the
sandwich help to modify the GOODNESS
of the ice cream, SO that it can be
eaten more readily. The ice cream
sandwich as made on the Bowery is
constructed in this wise: thin milk
biscuit is placed in tin mold just
large enough to receive it. Then the
mold is filled with ice cream from a
freezer and another wafer is placed
on top. There is an arrangement for
forcing the sandwich out of the mold
when complete, and the whole process
takes only few seconds. The ice
cream sandwich man is the envy of
all the other pushcart restaurateurs
on the Bowery, as he has all the pa
irons he can attend to and the cart
is always surrounded by curious Gus
toners.

ARE EASILY UPSET.
Some People Lose Their Nerve and
Sense When Confronted
by Danger.

II remember once Gearing of fell
low who, coming uninjured out of
railway wreck, worked like a demon
to assist his less fortunate fellow-pas-
sengers," said a railway official to a
Cincinnati Enquirer reporter. "All the
time he was at work, however, he held
one hand to his collar, and, when it was
over, one of his companions discovered
that he was holding tight to his neck
tie, which he had been in the act Of
tying when the collision occurred.
People act very queerly when they
are, or think they are, in danger.
II know young girl who had learned
to swim quite well, and one day she
tried to swim across river. There
were plenty of people about ard the
distance was not great, but when she
was halfway across some one called
out: How deep is it?' She let her
foot down and, of course, found she
was out of her depth. Instantly she
lost her nerve and sank. She came
up once, tried to scream, but the wa
ter choked her, and down she went
again.
"a man, realizing that something
was wrong, jumped in, clothes and all,
and pulled her out. He was none too
soon, for she was unconscious when
he pulled her up. It was the sheer
fright of knowing that she YVES out Of
her depth that caused it all, as other
wise there wasn't the slightest dam
ger"

A HISTORIC TOWER.
The Famous Landmark on Leith Hill
Is Being Put in Good
Repair.

The famous tower on the summit of
Leith hill is undergoing much-needed
renovation. The tower has occupied
it's present position for 1874 years. 1t
was erected in 1776 by Richard HUI.
of Leith Hill place, who selected the
exposed position as his burying-place.
and his remains were. on his death in
1772, inferred beneath the tower. Sub
sequently a portion of the interior WAS
filled with stone and cement, and the
entrance blocked. In 1864, however. the
lord of the manor determined to re-
store it to it's original purpose of
prospect tower. The solid cement how
ever, cannot be pierced and in order to
overcome the difficulty an outer tur.
ret for the staircase had to be built.
Since that time many thousands of
hOliday-makers have assembled it for
the more extensive view gained from
construction are each CONNIE morated
by stones bearing inscriptions in Latin
inserted in the brickwork over the
door.
The height Of Leith hill is 965 feet,
and the tower renders the view one
from height of 1000 feet-the high
est point in the southeastern counties.
This renders possible a more extend
ed view than from almost any point
near London, reaching from the long
line of the South Downs to Dunsta BILE
Downs, in Bedfordshire--a prospect
embracing many counties and conf
puted by some as a district 200 miles

CLUB LIFE IN CHINA.
1t Is the Custom for Mandarins and
Rich Men to COngregate for
Social Pleasures.

Club life in China is not an innova-
ton from the west. For centuries the
rich Chinaman has had his club, and
as a rule it is quite as elegant an af-
fair as are the aristocratic clubs of
New York and Chicago. Most of the
large Chinese cities, such as Canton
and Peking, contain club for man
darins and rich men with pretentions
to rank. Some have a political faint,
some are merely social. but all have
one peculiar feature. This is room
or oratory set strictly apart for reli-
gious exercises. In the oratory the i'm
age of Chinese god is placed. From
time to time members of the club en-
ter the sanctuary to offer their devo-
tions. Apparently it is no uncommon
thing at the beginning or successful
ending of great enterprise-such as,
say, the murder of an enemy or the
consumma ton of a political conspiracy
to see Chinaman fastening from
rich offering or prayer for the god
in the club sanctuary, says an eastern
exchange.
He observes his devotions with a
gravity that bears witness to his sin
cerity. Some devout Cinnamon visit
the god the moment they enter the club
building and again PROSTATE them
selves the last thing before leaving.
The club god is not usually war d.
vinity, but now, in the centers where
the Boxers hold sway undisturbed. it
is more than probable that the Boxer
god has been nIaced in a IL the cll1 hS

AN ENTERPRISING ITALIAN.
New Arrival Couldn't Speak Much
English, But He Got There
Just the Same.

Giovanni Mulotti arrived in Chica 60
from Italy about two months ago and
took up his residence with friend on
the North side. He came supplied with
a little capital and announced that he
intended going into business. hoping to
make fortune before returning to the
old country, says the Chronicle.
''You are too hasty." replied his
friend; "in the first place, you know
nothing about the English languag e,
and how do you expect to make money
in strange land without knowing how
to speak the language?"
leave that to me-" declared the en-
ergetic Mulotti; that is an easy mat
ter"
The result was that several morn
ings ago Mulotti, with the aid of his
friend. purchased horse and wagon
and loaded the vehicle with fruits and
vegetables. Several hours later he fol-
lowed in the wake of leather-lunged
peddler who was shouting his wares
at the top Of his voice.
"Cabbages, onions, potatoes, bananas.
apples and oranges!" shouted the ped
dler, in ear-piercing tones.
Immediately behind him followed the
enterprising Mulotti, whose refrain
consisted of the simple words:
"Just the same! Just the same!"
This was the extent of his English
vocabulary, but he made several sales.

OLDEST DELUSION YET.
Kingston Lunatic Thinks He's .
POached Egg and Is Looking for
Toast to Sit On.

Kingston can boast of good many
things of which it is proud, but the
latest it can make is little bit eccen-
trio. Of all the crazy men with queer
delusions there is none to compare
with that of an individual who is con-
fined in the insane asylum in Kingston,
Ont. He thinks he is a poached egg,
and for 20 years he has been looking
for a piece of toast big enough to sit
down on. When visitors come and
meet him he always approaches them
with the request for a moments con-
versation in private. AS he is per-
fectly harmless the keepers do not put
any restrictions upon him, reports the
New York Sun. If you grant his re-
quest he whispers in your ear:
''Have you got piece of toast about
your
NO" you say. "What is the mat
ter with you? Are you hungry?''
Hungry" calculates the man.
s'Why should be hungry? I get plenty
to eat. I'm tired. I'm poached egg
and I'm looking for a piece of toast to
sit on
Naturally this request leads to laugh
ter, and the poached egg retires in high
dudgeon, but he comes back regularly
on the arrival of the next batch of
visitors to see if he can't have better
luck. All sorts of things which look
like toast have been supplied to the
man, but he wants the real thing, and
as chairs and touches are not made out
of toasted bread, he is obliged to go on
making his perpetual plea to visitors.
In all other respects the man seems
normal, and if this crazy idea could
only be got out of his head he might
obtain his discharge. AS he persists
in his delusion he will probably spend
the rest of his days in the asylum.

Rice and Population.

In deciding whether China's popula-
ton is dense or spa rse it ought to be
remembered that the country pro-
duces rice. Countries which produce
rice yield at least two crops a year.
Countries which produce corn. on the
other hand, only yield one crop year.
Therefore, approximately to its ex-
tent, = country which produces rice
ought to support at least twice as
large population rs \ country which
produces corn.

POLITICS IS NOW A TRADE.
Men Want Pay for Service Former
ly Considered Pe1ri-
otto Duty.

In modern politics have many times
known of more money spent in single
ward for the election of councilman
than the entire amount contributed in
1860 to carry the Pennsylvania election
in October that gave the republicans
absolute victory in November, says
Col. A. X. Mcclure, in the Saturday
Evening Post. There is not an earnest
ly contested legislative district in this
city that does not cost thousands of dol
Lars to run the campaign and pay the
party workers; and recent contest for
nomination in one of the senatorial dis
tricts of Philadelphia cost the opposing
factional leaders not Less than 500. 900.
Under our present system political
leaders make politics a trade, and every
ward and precinct has host of men
who live by politics and who refuse to
give political service Of any kind UNI
less literally paid. In 1860 there was
not an attempt made to buy vote for
Curtin in the entire state, and, except
ing in rare instances, where special and
unusual service was required, the entire
work Of that great battle, that rev.
olutionized nation, was willingly per-
formed without pay as matter of
patriotic duty.
