The Dances of Other Days.
rom the New York World.

From the new 10TH NoTlu
The Society of Dancing Masters Of
Paris has just taken a vote OF Its MEM
bers concerning the dances to be put in
vogue during the winter. 1t Is announced
that the number voting in favor Of con-
tinuing the quadrille and the lanciers
was so small as to show that these old
time favorities are virtually extinct
They have gone to join the minuet down
the vanished dancing halls Of time, and
will be revived perhaps only on the stage
or at some fancy dress function.
There are sentimental hearts that will
sigh over this announcement. 1t means
something more than a change of fash
ion or the passing Of a generation. Some
dances live forever The jig. for exam
pie. The waltz, too. appears gifted with
a long-enduring performance. 1t is more
than a hundred years since Byron de-
nounced 1t in glowing but savage verse.
and still it fingers and holds its votaries
despite the passage of time and the
coming of trots and wiggles. But all
dances of state and artificiality that re-
ouire grace as we'll as activity and the
cooperation of brilliant groups moving
tremendously in accord through COM
plicated figures-these appear destined to
pass after a few years Of glory.
The minuet was too slow and too
uuadrille is too slow for the twentieth.
But the girls and boys that danced the
lanciers were. some of them. in their day
deemed brisk enough. Is present-day
youth exceeding the speed limit, or is the
limit lifted?

Waste of Young Womanhood.

FROM the Noma W orlu.
When I hear of a talented, beautiful
souled young woman. with unusual capac-
tiles for fine motherhood. deliberately sac
rificing her divine birthright and her self
acknowledged preference in order to give
her life to teaching imbeciles. and when I
hear latee, that after months of arduous
labor and exhausting pangs of sympathy

milton from it and then collapses in nerv-
Gus prostration with the joy of her tri-
umph in eliciting this faint spark OF soul.

such genetic waste of fine material.
Is our civilization. after all. very well
balanced when II develops such excess OF
by sound intelligence and the sense or
racial perspective? But this instance Is
being repeated year after year i'm increas-
ing numbers among our social workers in

most worthy, of helping forward the

defects and incapacities. Is there not in
stead clearly a wisdom in devoting more
of these energies toward awaking public
opinion and securing public action to re-
duce the number of births among these
feeble-minded. vicious and degenerate:
and especially toward an increase in the
world of the number of normal children?

he Cincinnati Times-Star.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
The members of the board Of review OF
assessments of the city OF Chicago are
coming in for some criticism for having
reduced by one-third the valuation of
certain house upon the representation
that it was haunted.
1t is even asserted that this is adj
mission that the members Of the board
themselves believe in spooks. Such
conclusion is unjust. They have con-
fessed to no such view; they have mere
ly taken cognizance of the fact that
large number OF persons do believe in
ghosts and the like. A murder was once
committed in the house in question.
since which time the neighbors insist
that an apparition appears there and
makes the nights hideous with its shrieks
and walls
In all probability. were the Society Tor
Psychical Research to investigate this
house it would find nothing upon which
the theory of its being haunted could
be predicated. That is the usual result
of such an investigation, although occa-
sionally a loose and creaking shutter is
discovered. But such negative result
would not alter the fact that many be
lieve that the house is haunted. and be-
cause of this belief its rental value
has been materially reduced.
In this day and generation We should
have gotten far away from our ancestors
superstitions regarding ghosts anu
haunted houses. But we haven't. Inc
number of persons who frankly acknowl-
edge such a belief may be relatively few,
but the number who would willingly
rent and inhabit house reputed to DE
haunted is probably not very large. Most
of the prospective tenants. upon nearing
the ghost stories, would find fault with
the plumbing or object to the house on
the ground that ii did not contain enough
closet room.

In the Light Of Science.
John Burroughs, in the Atlantic.

John Burroughs, In the Atldntlc
Carlyle turned his back upon Huxley on
the streets of London because Huxley had
taught that mankind had an ape-like an
cestor. Why Is such a thought uncon-
genial and repelling? No doubt that it is
So There is no poetry or romance IN II
as there is in the Garden of Eden myth
If we could look up to our remote pro-
genitors instead of down, If we could see
them clothed in light and wisdom instead
of clothed in hair and bestiality, now
much more enticing and comforting the
prospect would be! But we simply can
not. we must see them a down a long
darkening and forbidding prospect, cloth
ed in low animal forms and leading low
animal lives-a prospect that grows more
and more dim till it is lost in the abyss
Of geologic time.
Carlyle would have none OF 1t! The Gar,
den of Eden story had more beauty and
dignity That this backward glance Ger
travelled roads repels us Is no concern
of science 1t repels us because we regard
it from a higher and fairer estate. Go
back there and look up, let the monkey
see himself as man Qf he were capable OF
ito and what would his emotions be!
The prehistoric man. living in caves ana
clothed in skins, If we go no further
back, is not cheering person to contem-
plate And his hairy, low-browed for
bears in Tertiary times-can we see our
selves in them. 1t makes vast diner-
ence whether we see the past as poetry,
or see 1t as science. In the Bible, and In
Whitman, we see it as poetry, In Darwin
we see it as science.

NEW YORK LETTER
By Norman.
New York, July 10.-An en-
tirely new variety of club has
been formed by a number of very
wealthy New Workers who have
to spend at least a part of their
time in the city during the sum-
mer months, while their families
are visiting the seashore or the
mountains.
They call it the Summer club,
and have engaged as its head
quarters the fourteenth and fiji
tenth floors of the Vanderbilt
hotel. 1t is expected that as the
membership grows the sixteenth
and seventeenth floors will be
added. There will be rooms
enough so that each member can
have suite to himself whenever
he wants it. Then there will also
be dining and lounging rooms.
All the men in the new organ
ization belong to various clubs,
but complain that in the heated
months the clubs. are so deserted !
they have a hard time finding a
friend to talk with or dine with.
At the Summer club the men in
town will all be together, which,
they figure, will be a convenient
and agreeable state of affairs.
The Summer clubs season, it is
expected, will be from June IS to
Sept. IS.

Nick Lawson got up another
report to the council this morn

ment. He wanted 70 pay McHugh
only S7,395. Last week he agreed
to pay him $4,000.
The estimates of City Engineer
Manley, show McHugh has about
$4,000 coming to him. He actu-
ally claims about $4,000.
The commission compelled
Lawson to assume responsibility
for paying McHugh. Nick said
all he would pay was $76,395,
this morning.
So the council adopted reso-
luton to pay McHugh this
amount.
Now McHugh will sue the city
and collect the rest and the city
will have to pay interest on any
Judgment he secures. +
BY the action Of Lawson, the
city also formally accepts the
