PERPETUATE POPULAR DANCES
Cachuca, Zapaseado and zorongo to
Enlighten the World Through

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
PARIS, October Is, 1906
The world will shortly talk about the
| dancing girls Of the young King Of Spain
In Paris the news has already stirred ur
the section of the Spanish colony composed
Of lovely and worldfamous ballerinas AL
fonso will encourage the formation of what
Is to be more than a troupe Of dancing girls
from every part of Spain, unprecedented
and unique in numbers, beauty, youthful
ness. fire. grace and erudition.
1t will merit. indeed the high title that
has been proposed for 1t already-that of
the Royal Academy Of Spanish National
Dances; and the aficionados of grand style
backed UP by Alfonso in the project
mobiles. painters. poets, newspaper proprie-
tors and the civil or military governors of
every Spanish province-feel 1t may turn
out as esthetic work of national import.
It will have no connection with the Mad
rid opera classic ballet, of which the King
Of Spain Is natural patron. Its stars will
know nothing OF pointes or 1etes battus;
they will not not dance in maillots and
gauze, but in their own proper skirts, and
the dances and the music will be altogether
Spanish and home known.
Instead Of being danced as they are at
the present hour. in tobacco-reeking wine
soaked dives among the riff-raff of the
bull ring and the street. the seductive
seguedilla, the ferocious fandango the
clustering bolero and the fapdood ing
flamenco will be exposed to the world in
honorable Spanish surroundings, before
fashionable publics And in time troupes
from the Royal Academy will go out to
sweeten and enlighten the world.
What tourists know even the names of
the dances they have seen at the Burrero
Of Sevile-the best-known dive of all? Do
they know that it is the seguedilla Carmen
dances in Bizet's opera? They are ignorant
Of the fact that the cachucha is Castilian,
the zapaseado is of Seville. while the zor-
ongo is pure gypsy?
Deplorable Dancers.
The home situation Of the dancing girls
Is certainly deplorable. Few who have seen

are among the thriftiest and best looking
of the Danes. The men are strong and in
telligent and the women are beautiful. The
first colony of Icelanders came to Canada
about twenty years ago They were assisted
by the Dominion government and settled on
the west shores of Lake Winnipeg, where
they first engaged in farming and fishing
Other Icelanders have settled in southern
Manitoba, and from time to time many
have moved to Winnipeg. They now also
found scattered over the wheat belt There
are altogether about ten thousand of these
people IN Canada, and there are two Ice
landfc newspapers published in Winnipeg.
In the larger settlements these people re-
tain their own language, and as a rule they
prefer to marry among themselves. Most of
their children go to the public schools and
all speak English
The Galicians of Canada.
There are a large number Of Galicians In
the new Canada These people come from
the border lands between Russia and Car
pathia. They were first brought to Canada
about ten years ago, and large settlements
are now to be found in different parts of
the wheat belt. They have villages near Ed
monitor, Rosthern and Dauphin, between
the Duck Mountains and Lake Winnipeg
osis There are altogether about forty thou
sand of them in the New Canada.
These Galicians belong to the Greek
Church, and they have their own places Of
worship and their own priests. They are in
dustrious and frugal. and more accumula-
tive than the average Canadian. They take
up free lands under the homestead act, but
they work outside and save money to buy
more. At the end of five years the average
Gaician has a good house and barn, and
usually an extra farm >in addition to his
homestead which the government has
granted him.

City Of London Churches.
From the Sunday Strand

From the Sunday Strand
Within the narrow limits of the city Of
London, with its mere handful of residents
only sufficient to people a small provin-
cial town-there are still so many churches
that you might worship in a different one
every Sunday Of the year without putting
foot inside them all. Within the rural
deanery of the east city there are today
no fewer than ten churches. each of which
ministers to a population of less than two
hundred; the aggregate number Of parish
toner's is lab, while the churches have &C
commodation for 2,75O, thus providing al
most two seats for every possible wor ship
er, including the infants in arms.

These Doukhobors now own almost AGO.

They were first granted 275,OOO acres. but
later this was increased to 10000. and in
addition they have already purchased over
&c. 600 acres more. small amount Of the
land is recorded in the name of Peter Vert
gin, but most Of 1t, as have said, Is held
by the villages as such. and they will not
consent to it's subdivision. In other parts
of Canada the government only grants al
ternate homesteads, but the Doukhobors
were able to have their lands given them
in blocks, the Canadian officials not real
izing the dangers of the communal system
as to a group of foreigners like these.
In the Doukhobor Villages.
These Doukhobor villages look like a
slice of Russia cut out of the Black Plain
and dropped down upon North America.
save that the houses are better and the
people more thrifty. The average village
is one long road with a row Of cottages on
each side. The buildings are Of wood and
frame but the roofs are often of thatch or
turf. Many of the houses are made of
logs. well chinked and plastered. The win
dows are of small panes with heavy wood
en- shutters, which are closed at night.
Plenty of whitewash is used and everything
glares. The average house Is of one story,
and 1t has seldom more than two rooms.
The principal room serves as dining room,
bed room and kitchen. 1t has great
chimney al one side, with bake oven con-
nection; wide bench runs around the
walls for use as chairs during the day and
beds at night, and table Is in most cases
the rest of the furniture.

The houses are much better kept than in

I have letters from the British north
west describing the work of the Doukho-
bors on the new railroads now building
throughout the wheat belt They are
largely employed on the Grand Trunk
Pacific and are using their own horses.
The chiefs of the railroad construction
make their contracts with Verigin, and
the work is generally directed by Vert
gin. who is the head of these strange
colonists The earnings of the men are
all paid to him and are transferred to the
common II easury of each village, enough
being set aside to pay the expenses OF
the hands while at work. This is the way
all Doukhobor labor is hired. The people
have a sort of communal system, such as
Is In vogue throughout Russia, and they
work by villages rather than as tndividu-
ais.
The Russian Village System in Canada
These Doukhobors are introducing the
Russian village system into the British
northwest; and that much to the disgust
of the Canadian government. By an es-
pecial arrangement made upon their COM
Ing into Canada by Verigin and his as
sociates they were awarded their lands
in n block or blocks, and they have d.
yided them up among their villages, each
village holding certain amount of land

those forty-ive Doukhobors, consisting of
men. women, and children, stripped on
their clothes and made stark naked march
through the sixteen Doukhobor villages,
gathering up recruits. The story or the
march, written by one of the pilgrims. was
published in Russian paper, and few
extracts from this will give us some idea
Of it from Doukhobor standpoint. Says
the pilgrim:
AFTER the 18th of May we went in the
manner of the first man. Adam, to show
nature to humanity. and how man Should
return to his Father-Man. We were peaten
in some Of the villages, and at one place
twenty men surrounded us, and would not
let US come into their town. That naght we
lay on the ground clustered into one heap.
It rained and showed. The people VINO
guarded US put on their sheepskin coats;
but we remained naked. and 1t was really
wonderful that in such wind We were
not frozen The cold was great. Dut not
one Of the naked was frozen
Farther on in his writing the pilgrim
tells how the gang was captured by the
mounted police and put In prison TOT tnree
months at Regina. He says that tney were
tortured while in prison, but doubt
whether in this he tells the truth
The Icelanders of Canada.
The Canadian government Is doing all 1t
can to encourage immigration 1t had about
10000 new settlers last year, of whom
more than 10000 came from the United
states. and about 5000 from Great Brit
ain. There were something like 10000 from
other parts of Europe. The only restriction
in such matters is as to the Chinese. who
are taxed $500 per head upon landing. In
1905 almost five million acres of free lands
were granted to settlers.
Amongst the best of the foreign immi-
grants are the Icelanders. We often think
Of that country of cold and snow as inhab
tied by Eskimos or Indians. but the truth
is 1t is q colony of Denmark. and its people

We are unsatisfed. and know not why:
We seek for the ideal of our dreams,
And strive to reach 1t, guided by the beams
OF truth and faith. Setting our standard high,
We struggle on but when the prize is nigh
We find that 1t eludes US, and 1t seems
To beckon onward hooking with its CLEANS,
Like some bright mirage in the eastern sky.
With eyes blind to the glory here below.
Our thoughts forever turned away from earth,
We see no beauty round us, and the worth
Hidden in humble things never know.
We grope. and pass unheeding on our way
The good that we are seeking day by day.

Detroit, Mich, which is Slready one OF
the most beautiful cities In this country,
has now an opportunity which may well be
declared enviable. By the will of the late
Mr.. James Scripps it receives $4,000 for
municipal improvement Several years ago,
at Mr.. Scripps' suggestion, Detroit invited
certain experts to examine and report upon
its needs and possibilities as the park
commission had done for Washington. The
report, made Independently. was unani-
mously in favor Of developing the water
front. Some steps have been taken already
in this direction. and now, it is earnestly
hoped this bequest will be further applied
to the same purpose. AS the Architectural
Record very truly remarks, this emphasizes
the desirability of being forehanded with
plans. Surely such a disposition of this
fund would be worthier memorial of the
giver than a bronze efigy set in a park or
public square.
Owing to the fact that the new building
cannot be completed in season. the Car
negie Institute has been obliged to post

Some months ago 1t was announced that
certain valuable paintings had been left to
the Corcoran Gallery by the widow OF ia
COB Lazarus, the painter. 1t has not yet
been ascertained. however, what these
paintings are and there now seems some
possibility that the whole bequest may
miscarry. The will was curiously worded-
the collection of paintings in question was
left to be divided between the Metropolitan
Museum, the Corcoran Gallery~a and an in
institution in Philadelphia, but which can

mated. Doubtless the three beneficiaries
would have come to an amicable settlement.
