MONEY MADE IN DANCES.
Clever Brains Employed In the In.
vention Of New Steps and
Figures.

The average citizen whose dancing
days are over. to use the conventional
phrase, little realizes how many scores
Of clever brains are, year in, year out.
exercised In the invention of new dances.
these latter quite apart from theatrical
dancing, says London paper.
And both fame and money come from
any new ballroom dance that happens
to hit the public taste. though It must
be frankly stated that most Of the go
called new dances are, in reality, but
novel combinations and variants Of the
old ones. This, however. is not only
inevitable, 1t is positive advantage,
inasmuch as the ordinary dancer, who
has learnt all the usual movements, can
the more readily follow the new COM
binations. In the case Of dancing pro-
lessor who has been responsible for any
new set of movements that have become
fashionable. there is always a veritable
rush Of profitable pupils. all eager to
learn the new dance at first hand.
A considerable source of profit to the
inventor of a new dance invariably is
the sale Of music that has been COM
posed with the express view of fitting
the new movements. as the sales Of such
new music often extend over the whole
kingdom. Amongst dancing masters
themselves prizes are every year COM
peted for and given for new terpsi-
chorean movements, and the winners Of
these always derive considerable advan-'
tages in the way Of popularity fromtheir
inventions, the monetary reward follow
ing almost as matter of course.
In at least one case known to the
writer the invention Of new dance
brought-with the sale Of the accom-
panying music, which had been bought
outright from the composer-something
over $500 in less than Is months.

From neighborhood hill came the

10Y THAT A MAN IS BORN"
Royal Parents Rejoice Over the Ad-
vent Of Male Heirs to Their
Thrones.

It would be difficult for. the car to
draft law which would do SO much
for the internal peace Of Russia as has
been done by the birth of his son, says
Youths Companion. The direct line Of
succession is now assured. and the in
trigues for favor with the collateral
heirs to the throne are no longer at
tractive. The effect of the removal of
their obstructive plans from the path Of
the tsar ought soon to be manifest in q
more harmonious government.
The need of an heir to the throne wac
not so great in Italy as it was in Russia
The problems of the italian government
are simple in comparison with the Rus
sian problems. Yet the birth of son
to the Italian king and queen last month
makes government more stable in the
peninsula by accustoming the people to
the thought of rule by the infant Prince
Of Piedmont as the successor of his
father. 50 ta.i*e 4sl 3
In Italy and in Russia the mothers
"joy that a man is born" is shared by the
whole people. Indeed. the birth of the
man child in the royal families of those
countries has increased the stability of
two thrones. and thereby made more
brilliant the prospect for continued Eu-
ropean peace. IL.
The tsaritsa and the queen each had
daughters, but neither in Russia nor in
Italy does woman succeed to the
throne. The decree of 1897. which still
regulates the succession to the Russian
crown, gives preference to male over
female heirs. Italy is still virtually I'M
der the Sardiaian constitution of 1S4S.
which excludes females from the throne.

their party stands not the slightest

The Democratic committee has ar
ranged to allow Judge Dale the last

that Judge Dale will be satisfied with a

their votes unless he begs for them.
