TRAINING BALLET DANCERS. A Premiere ^4:::- " tceals Her Own Bitter I:pcrie:ice. Mlle. Dorst. the premiere, sat in the parlor of the Laclede the other day recall ing the trials she had to undergo as an unfledged ballet dancer and pro'-,eetiv. premiere. 'People little know." si s.i "how much labor and misery go to malt up the pirouette of a dau ghirl. s child should not begin to s:.ly d aw n after she is 10; 7 is the oest age. The limbs then are at the right degree of sur pleness to take a pupil over the first di ticulties and help her on to the lowc 'quadrille,' which she may not hope t-. win before she is 10. The form then ha.? gained the roundness and the fiksh antc muscles the firmness requisite to thr artistic poses which create such ia rore. In my case the daily or-t-re com menced at 1 o'clock. Every norningu feet were imprisoned in a groove box, he& against heel and knees turned outwards. By this process my feet accustomed them selves ndturally at last to fall into a par allel line. This is what is called so tourner. After half an hour of the groove I was subjected to another variety of torment. This time I had to raise my fodt and- place it on a bar level with my head, which bar I was obliged to hold in a horizontal line with the hand opposite the foot. I was exercising. This they term se casser. After these preliminary labors we were obliged to go through a variety of steps and movements. "The teaching is necessarily long and painful, the primary object being to bring by sheer exercise extreme agility and strength to the joints of the limbs and feet. Even in the education of the two great toes, so as to make us capable of standing and pirouetting on them. a vast amount of care and time is expended. And not only must the power be acquired, but it must be kept up, for which pur pose constant exercise is required. Other wise the joints become.stiff and relapse to an ordinary degree of strength. A week of repose must be redeemed by two months of redoubled, incessant toil. On this condition only can the dancer pre serve her suppleness and lightness. To acquire, later, skill and grace in the movements of the dance is a subordinate object. One of the most difficult parts of a dancing girl's education is, for in. stance, to make her smile with. the rest of her companions and look gracefully at here is no rest for a great dancer at any time of her career. I have scen the time when, after a four ~hour's lesson, I have fallen exhausted on the carpet of my room, where I was undressed, sponged and resuscitated, totally unconscious of my situation. The agility and marvel ous bounds of the evening were obtained only at a price like this. But there are, nevertheless, some dancers who, having by nature greater difficulties to surmount, martyrize themselves with a willingness scarcely credible. Nathalie Fitzjames was an example of this. She invented a new method, de se tourner et de so casser. at one and the same time. The art of danc ing has two branches-en balloune and en tacquette. The balloune is the school of Taglioni; it is the lightness combined with grace, the dce which seems to de light in and foat- in the air. The tar quette is-vivacity and rapidity; it is the little sparkling steps and measures on the point of the feet; in a word, it is whai Fanny Ellsler made it."-St. Louis Re public. Te- or a scotch zIira. The . ighlands and Hebrides are the home of romance. There is a legend for almost every step you take. But the cruel est of these are not so cruel as, and none have the pathos of, the tales of their own and their father's wrongs and wretched ness which the p le tel today. The old stories of the battle field, and of clan meeting~ ctan in deadly duel, have given way to stories of the clearing of the land that the latre or the stranger might have his shooting and fishing as well as his crops. At first the people could not understand it. The evicted went to the laird, as they would have gone of old, -and asked for a new home. * And what was his answer? "I am not the father of your family." And th'en, when frightened women ran and hid themselves at his coming, he broke the-kettles they left by the well, or tore into shreds the clothes 'bleaching on the heather, And, as the people them selves have it, 'In these and similar ways he succeeded too well in clearing the island of its once numerous inha'bitants, scattering them over the face of the * globe." There must have been cruelty mndeed before the.Western Islander, who ence loved his chief better-than his ow: life, could tell such tales asThese, even in his hunger and despair.-Eliabeth Robins Pennell in Harper's Magazine.
