REFORM IN DANCING.
Teachers Trying to Get a Change in
the Positions.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Dancing masters throughout the country
have risen ir their might decieively and
unanimously. against the way the modern
young man holds a girl when he is dancing
waltz or two-step. The recent convcn-
ton Of the International Association OF
Masters of Dancing, held in Pittsburg had
little other important business to discuss
Hours that the professors of terpsichore
annually spend in recommending in con-
clave fresh twirls. steps. movements all
went this past month In heated debate as
to how ladies should be held There WAS
not one dissenting voice AS to the bad man
ners and bad form of the youth of today.
Each master of dancing agreed that
the evil must be stopped. The only ques-
ton was how best to stop it.
The way OF the day is carelessness on the
part of the young men. all the professors"
concede. These youths simply do not think
and their arms and hands once conven-
tionally placed, slip around to easier and
more natural postures. In consequence all
over the country. in every town from Cali
fornia to Maine, mice" girls are being held
iE positions that would do discredit to the
toughest dance. The dancing masters say
that unless something is done quickly dane

black eye. They have had to take the in

men and girls alike, do not seem to realize
this.
The official posture of a year ago was an
excellent one, just long as 1t was not
abused. But abuse and eXaggera ton of 1t

OF course, there are many public dancing
places and balls, not only here, but in all

order Is the common thing. In such assem-
blies 1t is expected. and only when seen by
strangers who are unaccustomed to II is
there comment and criticism. What has
Mortified the professors and melted them
to hurried action this summer is that all

the country, their pupils have broken away
from orders and directions and are dancing

A DEVICE FOR Woo1NG SLEEP
To Quiet the Brain Begin With Move

From Good Housekeeping.
Most of the mental devices for wooing

by moving the feet alternatel instead of

DOGS IN FICTION.
Parts They Have Played in the Great
English Novels.

From the London Standard
Although it may be conceded that among
the animals Of fiction the horse holds first
place. the part played by dogs, especially
In modern literature, is very large and i'm
portant The pages Of many famous novels
have presented US with members of the
canine race as carefully drawn and low
ingly delineated as any of the human char
acters introduced. Not infrequently the
role OF hero or heroine is doubled with or
wholly supported by, dog: and in number
less instances 1t is the intervention. con-
scious or unconscious, Of dog upon which
the whole plot turns. AS might he expect
ed, 1t is among the works of such noyeltsts
as are specially noted as dog lovers that
the finest and most frequent descriptions
of their four-footed friends are to be found;
and naturally Sir Walter Scott well known
for his extreme attachment to dogs heads
the list.
Big dogs are Scott's special favorttes. and
his noblest example is Sir Kenneth's hound.
RosVai who bears an all-important part in
the plot OF The Talisman." RoSwal is de-
scribed as a large stag hound of splendid
proportions and great sagacity, who shares

remorse for the violation of the English

Anglo-French Arbitration.
rom the New York Tribune


The practical good which we have ex-
pected to see follow the Interchange of
visits between King Edward and President
Loubet is already beginning to take form.
1t bids fair to be seen presently in a per-
manent arbitration treaty between the
united kingdom and the French republic.
The movement to that end indeed ante
dated the visits in question. and even the
announcement Of them. But before them
1t was regarded as merely academic, II not
altogether visionary. 1t was an agreeable
topic OF conversation among the benevo-
lently disposed, but practical politicians
paid little attention to it. Now, however,
since those visits, and, it may well be be-
ueved. largely because Of them, the status
of the matter is changed. Responsible
statesmen and practical politicians are dis
cussing 1t as an entirely feasible project
which the near future should and probably
will see realized. For that one thing, If for
nothing else, the royal and presidential WIS.,
it's should be remembered with gratitude
by those two nations and by the world.

RECLAIMING A NEW EGYPT.
What Engineering May Do for South.

From the New York Mail and Express.
Modern engineering has regulated the

claim the modern Egypt Of the new world

by draining and making both habitable and
productive the fat but insanitary 10000
acres comprised within its six counties. 1t
is commonly assumed that the name
Egypt has been applied to this portion of
Illinois because of its intelIe rtual darkness.
That ins!nuation is resented by the inhab-
itants who assert that the name arose
from the fact that settlers in the northern
part of the state, when their crops failed.
