J,liss Eleanor' Curtis ; (""Marguerite Blanc".) , in .her. clever , little sketch of "The Graceful Art," declares for the theory .' that . the. foundation of the modern ballet is Greek art. "The first masters of modern dancing argued that what, is satisfyingly beautiful in narble must be doubly so in flesh and blood and set to music: so they stud ied old vases and statues, choosing one pose from a statue. -linking it t' the nent with gestures and steps from a frieze; another pose, more frieze; the ideais -that o a goldsmith mak ing a chain. of alternate, links and a gem.

"At the end of the phrase the dancer alights in a pose from a classic draw ing which 'must be meant to strike the mind, of. her audience as the gem. in the chain does the eye." . Some of these' fnesdemoiselles of the ballet have been cultivated and brainy enough to have written magazine ar ticles On the r.rt and history of - the ballet and some hi for beginners of have made text book3 their profession Fanny -Ellsler's -journal shows that she has had a very cool, keen head and a perfectly balanced judgment of" character , which she exercised without mercy on the great person ages of Eoston who crowded about her. Speaking of ' Taglioni whom Justin McCarthy pronounced the "gre?.test of dancers," Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, who is certainly a judge on that point, testifies to the intellec tuality of her art. Mrs. . Kowe long ago suggested that the "best stagf dancing gives us the classic; in . a fluent form with the illumination of life and personality." "I cannot1 re call in the dances which I saw in the Taglioni season anything which ' ap peared to us sensual or even sen suous, rather the very ecstasy and embodiment of grace." This is what she says she said to Theodore Parker, and it is as good as that threadbare story of what Margaret Fuller said to Emerson and what Emerson re plied and a. good dfial more authentic.

The crime and casualty records for 1908, as collected , by the Chicago Tribune in its annual sum mary, show some interesting pnases. Probably the most striking feature is the steady increase in. the number of suicides and the great percentage of these that are traceable to the business depression and embarrass ments of the year. Self-destruction due to these causes grew fivefold over the recordof the year before, despite the fact that the financial squeeze be gan early In the fall of lS07i As a weapon of self-destruction thet revol ver gained greatly in favor. . ! ' Embezzlements involved a larger total than in 1907, and-a peculiar phase of this record is that more . than two-thirds of this crime, figured. on a monetary basis, is chalked up against bank officials and employes. The re form wave seems to have had a' good effect on public officials. The homicide record deaths or. all kinds by persona! violence in creased over 1907, but fell short of that of the previous year. The death toll for holiday sports aggregated 3 6 ST deaths and S820 injuries. The number of suicides for 1908 wa3 10,852 a3 reported in the public press. The following list shows the steady Increase or seir-muraer: is. R340: 1900. 6735; 1901, 7Z4&; 1902, 8291; 1903,8597; 1904. 9240; 1905, 9982; 1906, 10.125; 1907, 10, 782. and 1908, 10,852. The causes of . these suicides are stated as follows,., the classification, as in tho case of homicides, being a general one: Despondency. 5318; un known, 1541; insanity, 810; domes tic infelicity, 778: ill health. 718; business losses, 632; liquor, 536, and disappointed in love, 519.' y .

France's fortune is grow ing steadily, as the result of an an nual saving of $1,000,000,000. much of which ..must seek investment abroad. . ,M. Leroy feeaulleu's figures show that France ncT receives $360,000, 000 as an annual income from for eign holdings, which are principally government stocks, the amount hav ing "been almost doubled in the last fifteen years.

This is the second largest sum the chief paymaster of this department has ever paid to a soldier.

' Embezzlements, forgeries and bank wreckings, ' amounting to $13,555, 538, are in excess of those of last year. Ten bank presidents, twenty eight cashiers, eleven bank, clerks and four brokers have made way with 810,085,472, while agentsf !forgers, postmasters, public officials loan as sociation managers and - ordinary clerks combined have stolen only about 53.500,000. Some slight moral compensation was made oh the part of thirty of these fifty-two financiers, who committed suicide. A noticeable feature of this record Is the steady Increase of murder by highwaymen and thugs, being 101 more than In 1907. That more care has been exercised In hunting is shown by the decrease in casualties. During- the". hunting season proper 75 persons were killed and 91 Injured, and out :.of season 109 killed1 and 35 Injured, a 'total of 166 killed and 126 Injured, as com pared with 191 killed and 155 In jured in 1907. - The prinrlDal epidemic was the cholera, which prevailed In Russia and Eastern Asia and the Philip pines; 7700 died In Russia. 12.000 in the Philippines and 30,000 in China. .
