ATHLETES OF THE AMERICAN OPERA.
Preliminary Stages of ■ Pallet Girl's
Training—.Severe Exercise,
I will revert for a minute to the ath
letes of the American opera. They sro
of the feminine gender, long aud litlso of
limb, quick of movement, enthusiastic of
purpose and mt her light upon their toes.
I dropped intoseosome of the preliminary
singes of a ballet girl’s career, ami 1 was
duly Impressed. I liavo seen men tre.taiod
In various ways and for divers contests,
but 1 never knew of u more thorough sys
tem of training, and one that tendH to de
velop the muscles of the entlro body with
thoroughness, than tho system practiced
Ht the American school. They have a
trained ballet-master, and he has sixty or
seventy girls under his tuition. Some of
them nre lit(lo tots 10 years old and others
are big and rather cumbersome creatures
of 18 or 20.
Tltoy go through n series ot well gradu
ated motions regularly, spending /our
hours a day in the gymnnsium—-It oan
uot bo called by any other name—and
come out of the ordeal looking fresh and
healthy. There is scarcely a well de
veloped athlete In any of our clubs who
could go through one hour’s oxerrise that
these girls da every dny without feeling
nil twisted out of shape and done up for
the rest of the day. There Is good ma
terial in the company of recruits indi
vidually. Some of tho little 10, 12 and 14-
ycar-old girls already danco liko nymph*,
and others are graceful and liavo lieauti-
ftil facos and llgures. It is rather sur
prising that uo two ot the girls are alike
in stature, and they seem to run Into all
possible ext rente* ns to length, weight,
thickness ami curve of limb.
The instructor of the ballet tells me,
however, that the constant exercise tend*
to develop them equally, and when they
Join the regular ballet of the AnisrUaH
opera at tho Academy of Music next Jan
uary they will relleot luster upon their
country. We have heard a good deal r.f the
American ballet girl being of a much
higher social grado than her sister of
other countries. Indeed, the man who
took me to sue this particular ballet, and
who is himself an enthusiastic admirer of
everything American, tuclullug the opera,
said that I would flmi girls of good social
station there. "Not,” said, "that they are
in society or anything of that sort, you
understand, hut they are tho daughters of
trades people, of well to do boarding house
keepers and of folks generally who make
some pretentious to social position.” This
was an error upon tho part of tho enthus
iast. You may take my word for It that
the ladies of the American ballet are liy no
means up even with tho modest standard
set by tho enthusiast.—Cor. Brooklyn
Eagle.
flux t’eaxeit To Be Metaphorical.
Tho expression “galvanizing a corps*"
has ceased to be exclusively metaphor
ical. M. Kergovaty, n Frenchman, has
discovered a method of preserving bodies
by giving them a metal coatlug. We
may, according to our means, become
silver-plated, nickle-plated, or galvanized
with zinc or copper. The process ha*
been thus far tested successfully on
eleven human bodies and more than 100
times ou the carcasses of animals.—Chi

CouHumptlve Patients In Florida.
The Florida Medical aud Surgical Jour
nal says that this year consumptives are
seeking localities apart from the thickly-
populated cities. Many ot them are go
ing to the high pine lands in the oentral
and western parts of the stato, these be
ing pecuUary adapted to this class of In
valids on account of their dry atmosphere
and equable temperature. But even there
patients must live circumspectly and tem

Of Interest to Insurance Policy Holders,
The supreme court of Indiana has just
decided that a man whose mill was fired
by negligence of a railroad company, nmy
recover full damages therefor from tho
company, although he may liuvo been
paid for his lpss by an insurance company.
The court held that a contrary decision
would give tho wrongdoer the benefit of
an insurance on which others had paid
the premiums.
A Sugar Tres la Central India.
European sugar r.flners have lately dis
covered in central India a forest tree
which seems likely to come into general
use as a substitute for the cane and the
beet. It is called the Maheva and abounds
In southern Hindustan. Its blossoms
yield an Immense amount of juice, which
is easily converted Into sugar of an excel

are placed ia a mixture of uurm water
and bran, which no), only remows any
fleshy impurity Irom the skins, but also
renders them soft, utul sopjilo. Kill skins
are rut Ginned like ordinary hutImr, but
nre immersed in a large, revolving

tio: of the former Ingredients tli.it at one
fr.rinry In t liaujiiont no f .ver than 4,000
c.,' r-t nre needed every dev. The skin* are
i,Bowed to remain in t ids cosily paste for
rather more tliun an hour, the drum being
1 ept revolving by mentis of ’niir.’hlu 'ry.
They are next taken nut, and
removed to the t liars lor the
night, and from th.iieo lire con
veyed on the following day to tlie drying
loom, where they are subjected to a
temperature varying from HO to loo
degrees. Each skin is hung separately on
hooks, and thus they dry very quickly.
This process leaves them somowhuthurd,
and they are next "seasoned” or “sum
mied" with cold wntor, and then stretched
backwards and forwards over an upright
knife, shaped liko a half-moon. After
being wetted again, they are “shaved” by
means of specially-constructed knives,
which remove the under-flesh.- The skins
are now eouted with a composition of Hour,
oil, and yolk of egg, which makes them
soft aud pliable. They are then conveyed
to tho dye-house.
Before being dyed the skins are trodden
under foot for several hours In water.
Having been rinsed, tho skins are now
moistened with more yolk of eggs, and are
allowed to rest a duy before they ure dyed
by the workmen, who, taking u brush
dipped in ammonia, spread it over the
skin, and then apply several coatings of
tho dye. For Bkins that are dyed on both
sides, of course, another process is
employed. The workmen place the skins
In a largo vat, nnd while trending them
down pour in the coloring liquid. Those
that are intended for black gloves show,
after their llrst dip In the dye, a bluish
tingo, but this is worked off until the skim
present a brilliant nnd perfect black.
The skins, having been dried and dyed,
are now subjected to a process known as
“grounding," the object of which Is to re
move all roughness, and render them
thinner nnd more supple. They nro next
sorted according to their quality and stzo,
nnd are passed on to the cutters, who cut
them Into the several detached parts of
gloves. This operation requires great
judgment, for the workman has to nllmv
for the natural “stretch of the skin. 7 he
finished skins having been selected and
mapped out by the sorters and pieced out
by the cutters, are put over n frame look
ing liko a deformed glove. Theso
frames are bo made that they
represent the whole glove laid
out unsewn. The gloves, with the thumbs
duly fitted nnd put together, are placed
in a press, after which they nro sent
to bo punched by means of machinery.
The edges of the gloves are refolded by
machinery, and are then ready for sewing.
In France tho work of stitching is done
cl^efiy by hand, although there aro some
very ingenious machines Invented to per
form this operation.
The fastenings are now attached by
means of rivets, which are hammered on
by girls called riveuse3. Tho glove has
now been seun, and furnished with but
tons. It only remains to straighten it by
placing it on a glove-stick. They nro then
arranged in dozens, and being enveloped
in -paper bands, are packed in card boxes
rcudy to be despatched from the factory.—

nttiftt Mho Says of tin- IGlucattiinat Out
look—CtirlosIMea ol tho Country.
I ant now teaching a public school of
twenty-one pupils iu the central portion of
Texas. I receive £).'> per month, pny tin
for board, and walk half a mile to school.
My school house Ih n small country church,
situated in a grove ou a hill, at the foot of
which runs a beautiful winter creek, with
steep banks and pebbly ljottom, very rest
ful to the tired feet iu the evening. My
ertn ts for four months. The public school
system of this stilto is very fine. There
are large tracts of land, from which a rev
enue is derived besides the tax, which goes
into the fund. An examination and a cer
tificate are neecssavy before one can get a
situation, but tho salary Is adequate and
sure. It ranges from *30 to 17.‘> per month.
This Is a flue country not far from the
"Brazos bottom." The land is black, sticky,
and as fertile us Egypt. Colton is the
principal export. WhOat does very well,
and everything produced anywhere uUe
cun bo raised here. One call see perhaps
hundroila of miles iu every direction. The
air Is so pure thut almost anything will
petrify.
Texas Is a queer kind of mosaic work In
soil, climate, and inhabitants. By the side
of tiie black land lies a sand bank full of
Bmall pebbles, some smooth as Ontario
stones; other ragged. Indian arrows, pet
rified birds’ feet, etc., nro found. The peo
ple aro strange, too. You enter a modest-
looking country home and see a well fur
nished parlor, elegant piano, nicely bound
books, intelligent minds, and Christian
hearts. You nre favorably Impressed, and
think Texas Is a great state. Travel half
:a mile, perlinps. uud you enter a lint that
you are oshuincd to call by the-lioly name
of home. Here Ignorance, vice, lllth, nnd
disease moot you.
The ’cllmata of Texas is of the same
mosaic work. Perhaps it is a clour, wunii
dny and you feel like putting on your
summer clothe „ but wait a half hour; the
wind begins to howl mid roar, and in an
hour ink, milk, nnd everything Is frozen,
Happy are you if you nre uot in the saute
unfortunate condition. Truly, Texas is a
great state. Tills Is a well timbered
country. Oak, a h, hickory, musqnlte,
nnd other kinds of timber nlsnind, Pope’s
head nnd sage’s horn cactus grow wild
everywhere. Wolves howl around the
houses and are answered by the dogs. 1
never saw wood burn as It does here. In
Ixiulslana It was necessary to have some
pine or light wood to kindle with. Here
you put a few coals together, lay on some
sticks of wood, anil it hitros of its ow n
will. People nay it is Localise the climate
is so dry. Woo<i is not sappy.—Fannie L.

People who tmnglne that the young men
and women of New York society aro stiff
and formal in their manners would have
been somewhat surprised at the crowd of
young people who met together otic
afternoon to piny badminton in a queer
little Fourth nvctitto building.
It didn’t take a very shrewd observer
to discover that badminton, ns played fit
New York, consists of eouvertntton to a
very large extent, interspersed with a few
cursory lilts of hit nrtd misplny with the
racquets. There wore no clmporoues at
all at this game, and it amounted to a
merry bort of a frolic for two hours In the
midillo of the day. It was mousing to
listen to Ihe talk, for tho English accent,
whiali is affected, so laboriously by some
