Art OF Dancing.


This Is what NJ Lcfort the s'cr--
tary OF the French Choregraphic asso-
citation, says of the art Of dancing In
the present day: Either dancers turn
like teetotums with stiffened joints or
they make violent efforts to look
graceful, with still more dire results,
leaping about, comforting themselves
and gesticulatlng erotesquely. 1t Is
lamentable state Of things. Deport.
ment is the first thing TO be learned,
and Il will be useful to the proficient
pupil I'm all the walks OF life True
enough. One has only 70 observe the

to-day TO see they haven't any. With

ful, TO "swank' and buster as though
this footstool was their own especial
property. 1t is quite evident that hu.
man beings must do only one thing at
a time. The minuet, the gayotte, the
pavane, the passepied, the forelane
which NJ. Lefort recommends, belongs
10 past era. AS history is always re-
peating itself the dancing of those
courtly figures may come back. re-
marks the Boston Herald, but not now.
rhe waltz has caused their oblivion,
but then this master OF choregraphy
admits that the Boston, which has be-
come only popular in Europe, is
good deal OF n dance, The Boston
comes from America, and he thanks
the Americans, not for the step
which they did not invent, but for the
development which they have given II
and which makes It an admirable
physical exercise. The Boston gives
breadth of movement and expands the
chest and lungs" How nice.

There is point TO the story OF the
man who, wishing to rebuke his wife's
taste in millinery. called her attention
20 the number OF birds which are
slaughtered for plumes. Her answer
was, do you play billiards." She re-
ferred, of course, TO the numbers OF
elephants which are killed every year
Tor ivory. The man might, in turn,
nave retorted, do you play the pia-
nor for both sexes and many indus.
tries are responsible for the drain
upon ivory. II is nevertheless n fact
that the making OF billiard balls calls
for the greatest quantity and finest
quality OF ivory. A man who makes
his living by hunting and buying ivory
in Africa has related some of his ex-
periences in Eyerybody's Magazine.
One of the illustrations shows heap
of 10000 billiard balls, worth $4,000
Since only FIVE perfect balls can be cut
from the largest tusk. the heap repre-
sents the death OF 1000 elephants, No
person of feeling can help regretting
such n fact. Within few years rcgu-
lations have been established for the
protection OF the big game in some
parts OF Africa, but in spite Of this the
supply OF ivory is decreasing rapidly.

marked by spectacular plays. and the
way the virsinIans fielded the ball
was good to see.

former lost out not because of Inferior
work, but because the Tigers had u

was weak. bit Their fielding and base
running was superior To the Tigers. 'oiN
times the state university had a man
on third, but the battcrs always failed
the runner. Only once did the North

was when he was brought home from

the game.
Heyneger pitched n superb game,
striking out thirteen men and time al
