NOBODY DANCES NOWADAYS.
Teacher of the Terpsi-
chOrean Art.

A man who taught the art of dancing
to the grandmothers of the young peo-
pie of to-day declares that nobody
dances nowadays" says the Chicago
Chronicle. "People merely keep time
to music, ronp through two-steps,
hurry through waltzes and fret if any
one suggests quadrille or lanciers.
Grace and dignity are utterly out of
date. Young women don't know how
to courtesy and young men haven't
learned how to bow. AS for the old
fashioned, finished steps we used to
take when we balanced" to our part
ners, why, a man merely shuffies his
foot little these days and runs in
stead of gliding. / used to think of q
field of wheat swaying in the wind
when watched ballroom full of peo-
pie dancing the lanciers, but now
well, when the two-step made dancing
possible for the unframed the death
knell of grace was sounded.
Nobody dances the Virginia reel
now except as a graceless romp, and
as for the dainty schottisches, the
redowas, the polkas, the Varsoviennes
of our youth, where are they? The
dance is always the index of manners,
and in day when everybody dances
the two-step the world has two-step
manners. Istoppped teaching dancing
when the abominable racket came in,
but even that required a certain
amount of training. Dancing in the
barn gave me the shudders, but either
of these dances was better than what
we have to-day. We shall never be q
nation of well-mannered people till
dignity and grace are again in favor in
the ballroom"

life of 10 to Is days, and that of these
90 or 100 will produce other flies, says
The Louisville Courier journal. Dur

these flies will be produced, so that
millions in one season may be the des-
cendants of single fly. Millions"
is feeble word to express the number
that would be produced under this esti-
mate. Putting the first generation
at 100, and allowing that half of them
are females, the second generation
would number 5000, with $500 females.
The third generation would number
100000, the fourth 100000, and the
fifth 62,5O0,0oO. Continuing the calcu-
lation on the same system to the

writer in the Scottish American. After
lecturing to the children for consid-
cradle time without any appearance of

The Stiffness of the pun is Of small &C

ignorant or imperfectly informed citizens
believe that they owe to Mr.. Lows Ad-

taxation amounting to nearly one-third

The dishonesty Of the purpose is mani
fest in the deliberate suppression Of the
fact that it is not level comparison-that
is to say. the system of valuation the
basis of the tax rate, was changed be-

Reliance and Shamrock Ill.

In its want Of conclusiveness, as we'll az
of conclusion. the first meeting between
Reliance and Shamrock III, yesterday,
! was wholly unsatisfactory. Neverthe-
less, a conclusion may be, and indeed
must be, drawn from it, One prediction
has been made without reservation,
and that was that in very light breeze
and smooth sea the challenger would
prove to be a wonder
Indeed, scientific journal recently
demonstrated that in six-knot breeze
one day the third Shamrock showed
gain over the first one in going 10
windward of minute and AZ seconds a
mile. This gain was properly declared
TO be unprecedented, and the prophecy
was made that in such weather the
challenger would never be beaten,
In yesterdays meeting the conditions
were OF just that kind except that there
was long, deep swell of the Jersey
coast. The two yachts were sent away
to windward and they stood on their
first board out to sea for a little more
than an hour and quarter In that
time Reliance, starting astern, saved
her time allowance and had a few sec
onds to spare. In other words, in less
than an hour and twenty minutes Sham
rock III. was beaten in what was be-
lieved TO be her own weather.
After that the wind became so tickle
that there was nothing in the contest
on which to base a sound judgment.
Reliance continued to gain chiefly be-
cause she got all the favors of the CO.
uuettish wind, "a the leading yacht
nearly always docs. To experienced
observers il looked az if the defender
constantly outpointed the challenger,
and she certainly outfooted her; but
here again the appearances were those
which usually accompany the boat
ahead.
1t may be regarded as established
that Reliance is faster as drifter than
Shamrock Ill, and it is safe to believe
that in breeze just strong enough to
carry the yachts over the course inside
the time limit she will win. In years
gone by yachts which could do this
have shown that they could win also
in breeze good enough to make race
not longer than four hours.
II has been shown that both yachts
are very fast in good sailing breezes,
and in seven or eight knot wind
real race may be expected. II 1t blows
ten knots or more, it will not be Sham
rock day In fact it looks as If the I'M
comparable Irish baronet would have
to begin to think about Shamrock ".

Driving Out Business.

A despatch printed in yesterdays Sun
told of the preparation of a great pub
fishing company, employing more than a
thousand persons, to move its two plants
from Chicago Officers of the company
say that it is impossible TO maintain a
plant like theirs in Chicago and meet the
demands of the unions and compete with
the jobbing trade" BY frequent strikes,
by almost constant interference with the
management of the plants, by intolerable
exactions as to wages and hours, the
labor unions of Chicago are forcing in
dustries to leave that city. The secre-
tary Of the Chicago Cloak Manufacturers
Association says that four of the big cloak
houses have determined to leave town
Thus Chicago will lose business of
81 500 900 to 81, 0O0 900 year. He asserts
that merchants who buy manufactured
goods have almost abandoned Chicago
1t used 10 be one Of the biggest clothing
centres in the world, but now the trade is
rapidly drifting to New York and Cleve-
land
According to the news columns of
the Chicago Tribune, factories, clothing
establishments and small industries" are
SO eager TO escape the despotism of the
unions that railroad companies have
seized the opportunity to make special
rates for the dissatisfied employers
They are also offering special induce
ments in the way Of building sites, and
even money, to the firms that are willing
to locate in one Of the many small towns
the roads reach Freight rates are being
80 arranged that the manufacturer loses
nothing by moving from Chicago"
Here is warning to the business men
of New York.
