How shop Girls Dance.

The dance hall is truly a passion
with working girls. l suppose it is
bred in the feminine bone. have seen
the little girls on the East Side dane
ing rhythmically on the street, to the
music of some hand organ, while
heavy wagons rolled by UNDECIDED.
When those little girls grow older and
become shop girls they continue to in
dulge their passion for the waltz. Some
of them dance every night, and are so
confirmed in it that they are technical
ly known as. "spielers." Many a girl,
nice girl, too, loves the art SO much
that she will dance with any man she
meets, whatever his character or ap-
pearance. Often two girls will go to
some dance hall, which may or may
not be entirely respectable, and DELHI
erately look for men to dance with. A
girl may never want to see her fellow
Walter again, but many of these girls
get involved with undesirable men sim
ply through their uncomfortable pas
sion for the waltz. When carried to
excess it is as bad as drink or gam

Gounod the Man.

Gounod was one of the most fasci-
Mating men l have ever met. His man
ner had a charm that was irresistible,
and his kindly eyes, as soft and melt
ing a woman's, would light up with
smile now tender, now humorous,
that fixed itself tneffaceably upon the
memory. He could speak English fair
~ well, but preferred his own Ian
guage, in which he was brilliant con-
versationalist, and he could use to adj
vantage a fund of keen, ready wit. He
was at this time influenced by a re-
crudescence of that religious mysticism
which had trongly characterized his
youthful career, but his tone, though
earnest and thoughtful when he was
dwelling upon his art, could brighten
up with the lightness and gayety of
true Parisian.-Hermann Klein in Cen

Hot Time" as the National Air.

Hot Time in the Old Town." de-
clared Prof. Georg Eduard, of the
German department of Northwestern
University, sis bound to become the
national air of the United States. Both
the music and the words are in perfect
harmony with the Yankee spirit, and
when the people want to express them
selves and can't think of anything
else to sing, they break out spontane-
ously with Hot Time They've sung
it all round the world
THE charge up San Juan hill was
made to its music, and the hand played
it when the United States soldiers en-
tered Pekin. and to-day they are sing
ing it in the Philippines"
Prof. Eduard spoke in all earnest
ness, for though he is a native of Ger
many and not yet a naturalized citizen
of this country. he is thoroughly in
love with America and her progressive
spirit, and declares that he will never
return to Germany to live. These
statements were made to his German
class, and were occasioned by the les
son for the day, which was the Ger
man song, THE Lorelei." The profess
sor became so interested that he took
up the whole time of recitation with
his discussion. He spoke of German
and American political institutions,
and compared the character of Presi-
dent Roosevelt with that of the Ger
man Emperor. Prof. Eduard came to
Chicago in 1893 as worlds fair cor
for a German newspaper.
and later accepted the position as
teacher of German in Northwestern
University Chicago Evening Post.

COOL HEAD is ESSENTIAL.
Trainers of Wild Animals Must Be
Ever on the Alert for Surprises.

Wildcats, tigers, jaguars, panthers,
and leopards offer the greatest menace
to their trainers. These are the ami
mails that appear to long most ardently
stalk their prey and utter their night
cries in their native haunts. Almost
necessarily they swing back and forth
behind the bars peering over the heads
of the spectators with wild eyes that
seem to be trying to discern the for
est beyond the confines of their prison
house. Besides their restlessness, a
reason why the big beasts Of the cat
family are considered more dangerous
than the others is found in their de-
ceptive methods Of attack. Lions and
bears meet their enemies boldly, but
tiger or a leopard particularly the
latter-creeps up stealthily, crouches,
draws back when faced and then,
when the victims guard is relaxed,
gives a mighty leap. Kind treatment
has but slight effert upon the crea-
ures of the forests. Their deep feel
ing of protest against a life that is
most unnatural to them cannot be
banished by Jumps of sugar and friend
ly pats.
The process Of subsection Is, of
course, a very gradual one. A train
er's first step Is to make himself
known in a pleasant way to his new
pupil. He attends to it's feeding for
a week or SO, stands by it's cage talk
ing to it and opens the door little,
rubbing it's head cautiously as it ap-
proaches. Finally when the animal
has become accustomed to his presence
he enters the cage, being as unobtru-
sive as possible, so as not to brighten
or irritate his host. For an hour or
more at a time he may sit in the cage,
reading or playing with the animal
if he dares A trainers next move
is usually to give the pupil taste of
his power. A rope is fastened to its
neck and passed around two or three
bars of the cage. The animal is given
plenty of room in which to move, but
when it makes a leap at its trainer,
who has become more dictatorial in his
manner than before, it is pulled up
short This practice is ,resorted to so
often during the preliminary training
that the beast loses confidence in it's
powers whipping now and then is
also necessary.
When an animal is we'll under con-
troll it is taken from it's cage into the
arena, where instruction in tricks be-
gins 1t is first made to take and
retain the place assigned to it. On
it's seat at the side of the big cage
meat is placed. The animal learns
that on entering it will find food there
and soon acquires habit Of going
to it's place. Then it must
be taught to keep it's seat. When it
jumps down without being called it |
is punished a little and forced back |
At length it comes to realize that it |
can have no peace except on its own |
perch and SO it stays there. The same

Religious people in the United States
spend annually between $35, 100000
and $4O,0OO,0OO for new church build
ings, and for every day in the year
there are built and dedicated some
where between twelve and fifteen new
churches. The Church Economist
makes the computation, which seems a
pretty good antidote for pessimism. 1t

waxing evu' in the face of such an
