DEcADENCE OF DANCING
Englishwomen Complain That Men
 Are Abandoning the Dance.

From the New York Sun.
 This season the complaint of the part nerless maiden is much more pronounc- ed than it has ever been before, says the London Express. Indeed, there is some thing very like revolt among the neglect ed fair.
 Many girls are feelingyit so keenly that they are actually refusing to go to dances. There is no reason why they should stand 1t. It is intolerable neglect they say, and therefore they won't.
 Tt makes me feel miserable and hu- inflated" exclaimed one of this winters buds vehemently, Ito be standing up with a smile on my face and waiting for a young man who fails to come I do not mind going to dinners and very small dances. perhaps, where I have a fair chance; but no more balls for me, thank you"
 It seems that nice, attractive girls are left out of dances by the dozen this win ter. and the consequence is that they go to them as if 1t were to their executions
 Certainly, it must be very humiliating to be placed in such a position at a big dance, and many mournful maidens de- clare that unless they have partners for every dance beforehand, which few of them ever have; such Is their predica- ment.
 ''1t isn't as if we like dancing." de- clared one pretty girl the other day.
 though of course, we like it very much It Is being on approximation for young men to take or leave as they feel inclined. ,"

ideas and you discover they are largely those you would expect to find in ths head of an idle girl They are not found- ed in sense. in reading, in experience, or in observation. They are emotional. fam ciful and imaginative. Gods are made of actors, who are in themselves very poor specimens of human clay; and when a genius comes along like Paderewski, who appeals to their senses by the medium of sound they pass into q semi-hysterical condition that suggests phenomena to be pictured by psychologists.
 The recent remarkable demonstrations of women at the funeral of two boys, shot while escaping from a Pennsylvania prison, cannot be passed over. In this instance two young men, boys in years. effected their escape through the con- Vennivance of the prison wardens wife. who eloped with them. When the bodies of the young ruffians were brought to town ten thousand women struggled to see the corpses: they actually fought In more recent instance, | young girl-a matinee girl-cbarged with murder, was cn trial before a magistrate in New York City. The court room was crowded with young girls who wore picture hats" and used opera glasses. When the accused was discharged on the ground of insuf- ficient evidence to hold her, the matinee girls" became excited. Some cried, oth- CTS Tainted some applauded, all sought to reach the defendant Now what does all this sort of thing mean?
 On the first impulse, one would say: Curiosity" But thtre Is more behind this than curiosity. The nervous. deli cate organism of women, that has gained for them through centuries the appella- tion of "tie weaker sexes comes strong 1y out IF evidence. And why? Because the tendency of our times is to remove re- straints, and to create idlenoss. If it be true that the removal of restraint and the anfor cement of i6leness is to result in developing this peculiar phase of fem mine emotions, It may be well to inquire to what end it will lead?
 Perhaps the frequency of divorce, the growth of the marital infelicity, and the enormous conversion of young women into derelicts of fate, may be attributed to the growth of uncontrolled feminine emotions. Perhaps after all the old days wer better, when the workmen of the household found honor in working with their mothers and .heir great happiness in working from early to late, for hus- tand and children. The idle American girl is the weakest link in the chain of Amer ican women.

American Women
BY ALFRED CECIL.

For many years no voice has been rais- in praise of the American girl. She has been put forward as the most beau tiful, the most accomplished, the most entertaining, the most modest and the most worldly-wise of all her sisters As a girl she was the most bewitching, as wife the most attractive and useful and as a mother the most affectionate and best adapted to the responsibilities of maternity. But development in the most recent years have presented American women in a light that causes the social philosopher to modify his superlatives To be sure the women who have caused this cessation of admiration are in the minority nevertheless, it must be borne in mind that in judging the strength of chain we are forced to the conclusion that 1t is no stronger than it's weakest link.
 In all large cities, and for that matter in some of the smallest towns, we find many young women are idle. To be sure this idleness Is forced by modern condi- tions. The work of the house is reie- gated to employed labor and even the needle-work of a practical kind has been lessened by the competition of machinery. But whether idleness is forced or not, has little to do with the main fact that many young women are idle. The old saving is that his Satanic Majesty finds mischief for idle hands to do.
 Mischief need not find its expression in crime or in wickedness; that is, crime as defined by the statute and wickedness as defined by moral laws. It may be of the negative sort, that kind which does no act but works like a secret poison through a whole system. The finger can not be placed upon 1t at any one point for 1t spreads throughout the whole environ ment of the affected person.
 In New York, Chicago. Boston, Phil adelphia, St. Louis, in fact in every large city, the theatres gather these idle young women into audiences for their Saturday and Wednesday matirees. There is noth- ing wrong in going to a matinee, but when we find 1t develops type-the mati- nee girl, we are compelled to ask what matinee girl IS. In the main, she is at the theatre because she is idle. Listen to her talk. All matinee girls talk alike. their ideas are about the same; sift these

SCORES MRS. AsToR's CLAIM.
Professor Thompson of University of
 Chicago Discusses True Gentleman.

Recent statements made by Mrs. Astor in New York to the effect that a man, in order to be a gentleman, must be college bred were the subject of scath- ing remarks by Professor James w. Thompson of the University of Chicago before one of his history classes yester- day He said that the uneducated labor CT might be serving just an important an md in his own sphere as the college graduate, and even more.
 Mrs. Astors statements are an insult to every American citizen" added the professor. Fortunately, however, her statements are not true, and the first to repudiate them should be the college-bred man. Her attitude is an absolute perver- sion Of what has generally been an hon. oraole position in American society. If we are going to conflne all cultured and courtesy--all this is best and greatest to co'lege-bred men. 1t is better to not go to college at all"

One of the most interesting things to see in Berlin is the "Sieges Allee'' in the
 Thiergarten. It Is a short driveway of the beautiful park set apart for the statues on either side of the most famous
 and beloved of the great rulers of Ger many, attended by two of the most prom
 inent men of each. These statues were erected at the personal expense of the
 Emperor, and the idea was incidentally, to foster art and encourage the great artists of the present time. The Ger mans themselves have many criticisms to make upon the idea and the situation and execution of the statues. But, Amer jeans never fail to admire both the spirit that inspired the work at such enormous cost and the beautiful and imposing ar ray of Germany's greatest men. As is well known the Emperor possesses genuine love for art and devotes much personal attention to the fostering of the artistic spirit among his countryme en- The Kaiser has now set the fashion of presenting Rome with a statue of the literary men of his own nation and 1t is said that very probably others will fol- low. A committee of Americans has been formed to present Rome with a statue of Hawthorne, no doubt, because he wrote of Rome in 'The Marble Faun." Com menting upon this subject a recent well known writer said. As to the proposed Hawthorne statue, there Is nothing to be said against 1t, for there is surely no other American man of letters of whom we are as justly proud as we are of flaw thorne.
 With the passing away at Capetown the past week of that remarkable Eng lishman, Cecil Rhodes, the recent bio- graphy of him will be in great demand. In Cecil Rhodes MT. Howard Hensman has presented an admirable biography both in form and treatment. Of him he says: He is in my eyes an empire build CT, of great originality, and man who makes a most fascinating study" Prob ably no man of public interest and i'm portance has presented so many phases of character or has aroused such a wide difference as has Cecil Rhodes of Cape town. And his biography is closely con- nected with many of the most important events in English history for a num- Der of years. The author discusses the Jameson raid and subsequent events in a very frank manner and altogether the volume will prove to be a very valuable  one.
 Mrs. Burton Kingsland in Etiquette for all Occasions has treated the sub ject with rare good taste and delicacy Manners" says Burke, "are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify. exalt or de- base, barbarize or refine us by a con stant, steady uniform, insensible opera tion like the air we breathe"
 This volume which has just issued from the press, is eminently for folk of gentle breeding and teaches in a very happy and suggestive way that good manners mean kindliness and a tactful way of showing it. The text as the name implies covers a diversity of demands and ex- periences, and too for young and old, at home and abroad.

heard funny story of an applicant for a position in the theatrical profess sion. It was made out in Ensley few days ago, and was made by young car penter who for years lived out in the dis trict some miles from the place. In his time he had made several speeches at the country school and had taken part in a few dialogues.
 In Ensley a new theater Is being erect ed On the work this young man from the country is employed. and he is a fair ly good rough carpenter. He has an am- bition to join the troupe which will play in the house. He has never openly told of this ambition, but occasionally he quits work, goes to the man who will be stage manager and tells him something of his past. He then returns to work in a Jovial manner, only to go back and hint for a theatrical job later He makes any number of these little side hints every day. Some of them are as follows:
 Say you know I am awfully interested in operies. If you folks are going to put them on I want to stay here. I have never had any experience in opery work, but es villian-a sort of Jesse James, Com manche Indian, killing man, heavy op cry fellow-I am mighty good. I have never took part in any, but I know 1 am fine at such.
 Look here if you fellows are going to play any real operies up here l think I might help along in some kind of way. I have some of these here what you call Shakespeare books out at home; and if you all want me to I will bring them in when I come back Monday. I also have some dialogues and speech-books I will bring you if you want something fine to put on in the Opery House.
 q have never had any experience in the opery business, butt think could do some real comedy work have recited at the district schools upon several occa- sions when the trustees would come in for a visit Oh yes, I can sing little. I cnce took singing lessons under the finest singer I ever heard. He taught me for three weeks during one summer when the season was good and crops had been laid by early.
 But I am better in the villiany than anything else. I can kill Indians and do the murderous man to perfection. l can dance Why, say, I was counted the best dancer in our district when it come to going through q regular breakdown set. simply had all of the fellows out of my class"

Stead Is a daring and original writer and in his new work he has handled the thousand living topics of the hour with a fullness and grasp that makes the text very fascinating indeed.
 In "The Making of a Statesman" Joel Chandler Harris, who won all hearts with his Uncle Remus," writers in a diff ferent vein in this novelette, of love and political ambition. Charles Major the successful and popular author of ''When Knighthood was in Flower will have a new work out in April. It is called Dor othy Vernon of Haddon Hall" and if it possesses but half the charm of his form CT work 1t will be an early favorite. Audrey has already passed the 150th thousand and continues to grow in favor. Every one declares it to be Miss John ston's best work. Some may prefer the story of her former books but there is a concensus of opinion among the re- viewers that in Audrey" Miss Johnston has made distinct advance.

at the question, but if any man in town will simply take 8 look at the work peing done by number of negro men, at places on Eighteenth street, between Second ana Third avenues, I feel sure change Of sentiment will be experienced.
 In the new corner building at Third av- enue and Eighteenth street four store rooms are occupied by negroes. The places are rather handsomely finished, are kept clean, and make quite a neat appearance to the passer-by. Going from Second avenue on the left hand side ot the street, a restaurant is the first or the stores passed. In 1t all tables and hn- en look clean and fresh
 By the side of the restaurant Is a tall or shop and shoe store Then comes an undertaking establishment and drug store All are as clean and as nicely Kept as the restaurant and are quite presenta- ble. The combination possesses an uniqueness to say the least. Besides 1t illustrates the new class of negroes being turned out into the world and shows the thrift they may give proof or possessing.
 That one quality termed thrift Is what has never been credited to the negro. But the stores certainly prove Its being in the hearts of few, if not many. An other proof Is found in the offices on the second floor of the building. One Is occu- pied by dentist, another by physician, and still others by various professional of thrift; and make very worthy examples of thrift; and make very worty examples of which the whole negro race might be proud.
 If the men who think and say educa- tion only hurts the negroes could see these places 1t is possible much talk would be discontinued, If nothing else done.

Dtist antt Germs,

Cleanliness and health go hand in
hand, whether cleanliness and godliness
do or not. The way to keep kitchen
clean is to keep it free from disease
germs; that is, to keep our food which
Is cooked in the kitchen free from un-
wholesome elements, which cause it to
spoil and to be unwholesome when
eaten.
The clothes we wear should be brush
cd free from dust, because the air is
full Of impure germs. Those VINO wore
in dirty, dusty factories or other places
like them should have their clothes
beaten every day after they come
home. Grease spots should be care
fully cleaned of working clothes, be-
cause such grease spots hold dust, and
may become culture places for impur-
tiles received from the air. If proper
precautions are exercised and the house
is kept as clean as it is possible to
keep it the health of the inmates will
be good
There is a great difference between
q thing being scientifically clean and
clean in the ordinary understanding OF
the term. A house filled with the
germs of tuberculosis may be clean to
all appearances, and one which has
just been dsinfected scientifically may
have indelibe stains or previous wear,
and tear on the walls and carpets; yet
one is a wholesome dwelling and the
other is not clean.-New York Tribune.
