Saws "shimmy" Is Old Dance.

The shimmy is 400 years old, this
modern" dance having been done
back In the sixteenth century, says
Prof. Louis Kretlow of Chicago, who
has taught dancing for SO years. He
says many other of the modern dances
haven't really changed since the monk.
ThOinot Arbeau, wrote book about
them in 1888. They were the same
and the positions of the dancers iden-
tical with those of the present day.
Arbeau knew the shimmy, but called
1t 1.-The Death Dance"
Professor Kretlow, who was born in
1S45, was teaching the latest steps
when Milwaukee was trading post.
1t was mostly the reel and the Jig at
that time, and in the most exciting
sets the gentleman touched only his
partners finger tips. 1t was the day
Of the pantalette and hOOpskirt.

Mothers Gratitude.

Somewhere in America there Is a
nurse from overseas who wears
short strand of small, round pink
beads. She calls it her "Croix de
Guerre." Just before Chateau-Thier-
ry, when the refugees we're pouring
out of eastern France. a young girl
with big. dark eyes came with sick
baby to one Of the hospitals behind
the lines. During the first few weeks
at the hospital the baby whimpered
and walled constantly. hut with the
nurses unremitting care 1t gradually

The day the little mother was leav-

meant the return of her baby's health.

Japanese Shrewdness.

An interesting illustration of jap
anese shrewdness, which a Connecti-
cut Yankee might envy, was given in
deal in copper. The war caused an
extraordinary demand for this metal,
and sent the price soaring. The coin
still in common circulation in China Is
the copper "cash," about the size Of an
English penny. and so small in value
that a gold dollar will buy anywhere
from 1900 to 1000 Of them, according
to the rate of exchange. In my trav-
els in the interior Of China had to
have an extra donkey to carry the
cash needed for my party. The cop
per cash in the province Of Shantung
alone would weigh nearly $4,000 tons.
To buy these cash of the Chinese and
sell them to the Europeans, who need
ed the copper for shells, would yield
a handsome profit. The Japanese
proceeded to do 1t. The Manchuria
Daily News reported that in a single
year the purchases amounted to 25,6O0
tons and that the transaction was COM
pleted at a profit of 2,167 900 yen ($1,-

In alligator farming. The demand for

The few alligator farmers In America
are prospering. Alligators have to be
fed on meat, but they need no food
from September I to May l, for this is
their alternating season, when they
do not eat at all. Alligator skins are
used for making bags. sultcases

NOTHING NEW IN H. c. o. L
People Of the Long Ago Raised the
Same Wall, Apparently to A.
Little Purpose.

1t Is always soothing to learn that
our ancestors were kicking about the
same things that rile us today. Next
time you are inclined to believe that
high prices have been sent by the pow
ers above to vex this day and genera
tion alone, just ponder upon these
words written by John F. Watson of
New York city In 1S43. under the head
ing "Changes of Prices" In a book Of
his published In 1847:
ut is curious to observe the changes
which have occurred In the course of
years, both in the supply Of common
articles sold In the markets and in
some cases in the great augmentation
of prices-for instance, Mr.. Brewer,
who has been quite n chronicle to me,
has told me such facts as the follow
ing, viz:
"He remembered well when abund-
ance of the largest Blue Point oysters
could be bought, opened to your hand,
for IS 100 such as would now bring
from three to four dollars. Best sea
bass were but I'd a pound, now at Sd.
Sheephead sold at Cd to Is Sd apiece,
and will now bring So. Rock fish were
plenty at one shilling apiece for good
ones. Shad Sd apiece. They did not
then practice the planting Of oysters.
Lobsters were not then brought to
market.
''Mr. Jacob Tabelee. who is as old as
81, and of course saw earlier times
than the other, has told me sheep
head used to be sold at Cd, and the
best oysters at Is 100. In fact they
did not stop to count them, but gave
them in that proportion and rate by
the bushel. Rock fish at Sd pound.
Butter Sd to Cd. Beef by the quarter
in winter Sd pound, by the piece 4d.
Fowls about Cd apiece. Wild fowls in
great abundance. He has bought
twenty pigeons in their season for one
shilling; 3 goose was IS. Oak wood
was abundant at IS the load.
Thus Mr.. Watson of the early nine
teenth century thinks longingly of how
easy it must have been to live when
Brother Tabelee was young. He con-
tinues:
''In 1903 the market price of provi-
sions was established by law and pub
lished in the Gazette. WondrOus
cheap they were, viz: A cock turkey

1t is a big subject. There is no

The metropolitan museum is as hard

York. But how could it be located

We do gaze at the exhibits with i'm

cost of museum fatigue. But beauty
has to be sought after. Everything
is to be said in favor of placing the
commercial on an artistic basis. But
businessmen know this, as is seen by
their displays. There are fruiterers
in New York whose windows equal in
aesthetic charm the still life canvases
of the New Pinkothek in Munich. And
art should be brought within the
reach of everybody. But there are
many of us, so that this is a stupen-

America Looks Old.

Looking back on it all, realize that
America never struck me as a new
country, although its inhabitants often
seemed to be a new people. The eli
ties are more mature than the citizens.
New York, Chicago, Baston, 'Philadel-
phia, Westinghouse have an air of
permanence and age. The buildings,
even when most fantastic, suggest in
digenousness or at least stability; nor
would the presence of more ancient
structures increase this effect. To
the eye of the ordinary Englishman,
accustomed to work in what we call
the city, in Fleet street, in the Strand,
