The Antiquity of thc Ballet.

Strictly defined. the ballet is properly
n theatrical exhibition of the art or
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
it. The ballet was first introduced In
France in the reign of Louis MIL, and
both that monarch and Louis XIV. oc-
casionally took part in its dances.
In it's 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 1870.

Menelek 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-
navia 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
country" asked Menelek. The mis-
sionary admitted that there were a
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

Theatrical Pay Days.

Every legitimate theater in New
York has two pay days-union and non,
union. The union employees, which In
clude the men in the orchestra, the
stage hands, property men and stage
carpenters, are paid, as their union reg
ulations demand, on Saturday night.
The actors, who have no union, are not
paid until Tuesday, although their week
ends on Saturday with the nights per-
Torrance. Their salaries are held up
two days merely to insure their reap
pea!arce at the theater on Monday.
If tic company were paid off on Sat
urday night unreliable or disaffected
members of the organization might not
show up on Monday for rehearsal or
the evening performance, thus weaken
ing the production, but If the weeks
salary is he'll! back they are reasonably
sure TO report on Monday in order not
to lose what is coming to them. Ac-
tors are distinctly temperamental and
capricious, and il manager were to

er he would have chorus with which

Comets and Women.

The analogy between comets and wo-

following peroration from an evening
contemporary: Comets doubtless an
swer some wise and good purpose in
the creation; 50 do wCmen. 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-

How Plants Remain Upright.

If Il fiowerrot is laid on its side the
stalk of the plant growing in it grad
ually curves upward until it resumes
the vertical position. This Is called
geotropic curvature, and the question
is by what means the plant is stimu-
lated to change its direction of growth.
One theory AYERS that movable starch
grains in the plant cells fall to the low
err side as the position is changed and
by their pressure influence the mech

The conviction of Sam Parks, the
New York walking delegate who
practiced extortion for his own
benefit, Is a lesson to both labor
unions and employers. Unions
cannot afford to tolerate men of the
Parks stripe, and employers who
In desperation submit to blackmail
from one of his kind are very
foolish If they do not bring the
matter before the proper authori-
ties. In this case, the man was
tolerated by one and bourne by the
other until patience ceased to be a
virtue. The result of the case
brings hope that an end to abuses
of this sort Is In sight.

The Origin of Typography.

About a century ago an artist named
Cranch was standing one day in front
of a fire in his home at Administer
Over the fireplace was an oaken man
telpiece, and it occurred to Cranch that
this eXpansc of wood might be i'm
proved by a little Ornamentation. He
picked up the poker, heated it red hot
and began to sketch in bold design
The result pleased him so much that
he elaborated his work and began to at
tempt other fire pictures on panels of
wood. These met with a ready sale
and Cranch soon gave all his time to
his new art. This was the beginning OF
what is now known as typography
The poker artist Of today uses many
different shaped tools and has special
furnace in which they are kept heated
The art has been elaborated greatly
The knots, curlS and fibers of the wood
are often worked into the design and
delicate tinting produced by scorching
the panel.
