The Antiquity os the Ballet.

strictly dehned, the ballet Is properly
a theatrical exhibition OF the art of
dancing in its highest perfection, COM
plying generally with the rules of the
drama as to its composition and form.
1t was in existence in Italy as far back
as A. d. 1900, the court of Turin In that
day making especial use of it and the
royal family and mobiles taking part in
1t. The ballet was first introduced in
France in the reign of Louis Kill, and
both that monarch and Louis XIV. oc-
casionally took part in it's dances.
In its earliest presentation the ballet
appeared dexterously in combination
with the, other theatrical acts and Is
said to have completed the chaotic
medley exhibited in these spectacles,
which were at once NEUROLOGICAL, allie
gorical, fantastic, warlike and pasto-
raj" The reader will not be slow to
observe that its development in the
present day has not apparently lost
sight of these conditions.
About the year 100 women made
their first appearance in the ballet,
which up to that time had been per-
formed exclusively by men, as was the
case also with plays and operas, but no
woman ballet dancer of any note ap-
peared until 1890.

, Raising n False Issue,

A story well known to lawyers Of the
last generation is about the umbrella
case" A man was charged with steal.
Ing an umbrella, and a number of wit.
nesses went into the box to testify to
the offense. The counsel for the de-
PENDANT noted that each witness car,
ried an umbrella 1.-THE time, of year was
midsummer, which explains the neces-
sity for these impedimenta). AS q
matter of fact the prisoner ha8Ino de-
2ense to make. The barrister, thrown
on his wits, exclaimed: Gentlemen of
the jury, did you not notice that each
of the witnesses carried an umbrella
into the box? Why is this, gentlemen?
1t is done in order to infectyour minds
with the idea of an umbrella, to preju-
dice the prisoner in your eyes, to raise
a false ISSUE and 1 appeal to you
to signify your detestation of this con-
certed action by bringing in verdict
Of not guilty" The judge, who i'm
agined that little attention would be
paid to such plea, took little time and
less pains to sum up the case. The
jury nevertheless brought in verdict
In accordance with the resourceful bar
listers wishes.-London News.

Comets and Women,

The analogy between comets and wo-
men once formed the subject of the
following peroration from an evening
contemporary: Comets doubtless an
swer some wise and good purpose in
the creation; SO do women. Comets
are incomprehensible, beautiful and &C.
centric; so are women. Comets shine
with peculiar splendor, but at night are
most brilliant; so are women. Comets
are enveloped with lucid nebula
through which their forms are visible;
so are those Of women in their light
and elegant attire. Comets confound
the most learned when they attempt
to ascertain their nature; so do women.
Comets equally excite the admiration
of the philosopher and of the clod of
the valley; so do women. Comets and
women are therefore closely analogous,
but, the nature Of each being inscruta-
BILE, all that remains for us to do is to
view with admiration the one and to
love the other to alteration" Golden
Penny.

MeRelek and the Missionary,

A story is told of an attempt made by
a Swedish missionary to obtain a foot
hold in Abyssinia. No sooner had he
begun to preach than he was brought
before King Menelek, who asked him
why he had left his home in Scandi-
nayia in order to come to Abyssinia.
The missionary promptly replied that
he had come to convert the Abyssinian
Jews. "Are there no Jews in your
countryT' asked Menelek. The mis-
sionary admitted that there were
few. "And in all the countries that
you have passed through did you find
no Jews or heathens" the king con-
tinued. "Jews and heathens," the mis-
sionary admitted, "are plentiful"
"Then," said Menelek, "carry this man
beyond the frontier and let him not
return until he has converted all the
Jews and heather which lie between
his country and mine.'

1hacrl,s Grn f2naas

In 1891 Georg Brandes happened to
be with some friends at Sandwich,
near Chrlstiania, when they heard that
lbsen was staying at the local hotel.
They decided to invite him to dinner,
but he declined when he was told that
there would be nine persons at the ban
quet. Il never dine with so large q
party" he said. Finally he was per-
suaded to say YES" but in the mean
time the number of persons whose re-
quest to be present Brandes could not
possibly refuse had grown to twenty
two. Ibsen was furious when he dis
covered this, but Brandes managed to
get him to the dining room, where, how
ever, the poet looked so forbidding that
champagne had to be served immedi-
ately after the soup to give courage to
the guests. Ibsen acted like bear all
the evening. When one of the guests,
an actress, remarked that she liked his
roles better than any others he an
swered grufiy: II do not write any
roles. l represent characters, and l
never work for any actor or actress"

The Best Remedy For Group.
From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe)

(tFon the AJcnison, han., Daily GloDe0
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by a whoop from one of
the children. The Group remedies are
almost as sure to be lost, in case of
Group, as revolver is sure to be lost
in case of burglers. There used to be
an old fashioned remedy for Group,
known as hive-syrup and tolu, but
some modern mothers say that Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is better,
and does not cost SO much. 1t causes
the patient to throw up the phlegm"
quicker, and gives relief in q shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon as a
croupy cough appears and it will pre-
vent the attack. 1t never fails and is
pleasant and safe to take. For sale

AS twilight approaches a gardenfilled
with brilliant flowers the red flowers
will first lose their gorgeous color as
the light diminishes, and then the grass
and leaves will appear grayish. The
last flowers to part with their distinc-
tive color-white flowers beingtleft out
of the account-will be the blue or VIC
let ones. This fact is useful to such in
sects as, in order to avoid their enemies,
visit wild flowers in the twilight.
