ol uaiiKKoa aro aiwaji exercising in
the royal gymnasium. The new vol
ume in llie z.irtag series, "Journeys

graphic description of the wonderful
physical training of those girlst whose
ages vary from 8 to 20 years The
curious and subtle feat of picking up
a bit of straw with the eyelids can lie
learned only by llie youngest of them,
who are made to practice it m order
to render them flexible in every part
of the body
There are two long rows of benches,
one a little higher than the other On
ihe lower is a r,iv of little girls, and
on tho upper bench are laid tine, pol
ished bits of straw. At the sound of
ai,drtini the little girls all together
bend buck lbs hetul and ock until
liiey touch the bit of straw, which.
with wrfndcrful dexterity, they secure
between the corners of the eyelids
The cuu dance M the most graceful
and poetic of their dances A row of
young women, wun a uer or cups on
their heads, take their places in the
center of the gymnasium. A burst of
joyous music ' follows On hearing
this they simultaneously, with piili
tary precision, kneel down, fold llieii
haiitlsaiid bow their heads unlit their
foreheads almost touch the polished
marble floor, keeping the cups steadily
on their honds bv some Hiarvelous
jerk of the neck, tlieu. r suiltleiily
springing to their feet. Uiev describe a
succession of rapid and intricate cir
cles, keeping lime to the music with
their urms, head and feet, :
Next follows a miracle of art such
as may be found oulv among people
of the highest physical training The
music swells into a rapturous tumult.
The dancers raise their delicate feel,
curve their anus and lingers in seem
ing imposMiue nexures, sway 10 aim
