Comets and Women.

The analogy between comets and wo-
men once formed the subject of the
following perora ton from an evening
contemporary: Comets doubtless an
swer some wise and good purpose in
the creation; so do women. Comets
are incomprehensible.1 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 Golden
Penny.

TAe Antiquity OF the Ballet.

Strictly defined, the ballet is properly
theatrical exhibition of the art OF
dancing in it's highest perfection, COM
plying generally with the rules Of the
drama as to its composition and form.
It was in existence in Italy as far back
as A. d. 1900, the court of Turin In that
day making especial use of 1T 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 its 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 it's 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, butsno
woman ballet dancer of any note ap-
peared until $780,

begun to preach than he was brought

why he had left his home in Scandi-

The missionary, promptly replied that
he had come to convert the Abyssinian
Jews. Are there no Jews in your
country p 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

return until he has converted all the
Jews and heather which lie between
his country and mine.'

each, all the money necessary for the
act of universal homage would soon be
collected. Some foreign nations have
not waited for this moment to honor
Shakespeare's memory by statues of
their own. In 1872 the statue by Mr. j.
Q. A. Ward was erected in Central park,
New York. Left hand on hip, the right
holding book the poet stands in
thought; but the legs are weak, and the
head and face are not sufficiently mas
sive in form or firm in expression to sug-
gest the mighty intellect Of the master.
Chicago was not long behind New York
in claiming her share in the national
heritage. In 1886 the late Mr.. Samuel
Johnson bequeathed sum of money
for the purpose of setting up a statue to
Shakespeare in his city and the seated
figure of the poet may now be seen in
Lincoln park. 1t is certainly far better
conceived than that of New York, for
here is a man who appeals to the mag
ination of what Shakespeare might have
been, though it would scarcely satisfy
the shades of Droeshout or of Jansen.
We may regret the dreadfully monde
script character, the chair, and the pro-
fusion, unmeaning except on sculptural
grounds, of the drapery; but the statue
as whole, cast in bronze, reflects credit
on the sculptor, Mr. William Ordway
Partridge, of Boston 1t should be stat
ed that our photograph is taken from the
plaster cast Inevitably, perhaps, the
statue which was so gracefully erected
in Paris in 1888 by ian admrer," at the
junction of the Boulevard Haussmann
and the Avenue de Messine, lacks some
thing of the dignity we expect. Yet the
statue, wrought in bronze by Paul Four
nier, is thoroughly accomplished work
of art.
