XAXIM GLIDE EASILY LEASHED. It la to Be the FaiktoaaU* Due* Tkla Winter—The Manhattan, a Mew Polka, and the Tiovata Are Tm of the Beat Snhnaltted—Many Other OMd Oaee Considered. The Maxim glide Is to be the fash ionable dance this winfer, says a New York special to the Philadelphia Pub lic Ledger. It is the creation of Oskar Daenweg of Terre Haute, Ind. The new dance has to recommend it sim plicity of movement. It was presented to the American Society of Professors of Dancing and was given the sanction of that body. The Maxim glide is so oaay. indeed, that upon seeing it exe cuted once the ordinary observer with little knowledge of tbe graceful art can duplicate it successfully. Tbe dance, as illustrated by ita author, Professor Daenweg, begins with a military •ctottlach position—that is, the man and the girl facing the same direction, the man's arm Just touching the girl's waist, while her left hand rests on his shoulder. Her free band grasps her train, while the man's disengaged left rests on his hip. In the first part of the dance count four to each bar of music in the second part, only two. The man with left foot balances for ward and back, starting in fifth posi tion, while tbe lady counterparts with right. They take three walking steps forward, then repeat the first step, tbe man with the right, tbe lady with the left foot In the second part, counting two to each bar of music, they dance the two step to scbottlsch time. Professor Duenweg, after illustrating his dance, said that he based his hopes of success for the Maxim glide on its extreme simplicity. "People, society people especially he said, "won't take the trouble to learn new dances if they are at ail dif ficult. This they cap get op and dance after seeing It gone through once. Tbe dance is really Just a walk and a two step. I regret to say that society dees not waltz any more. It won't take the trouble. When waits nmsle la played they twostep, and when twostep is on the programme they romp. This makes the invention and selection of new dances no easy matters, for we know that people won't iearn dances chosen by the convention if they are difficult to learn." The Manhattan, the new polka by Professor George Prnttfbg, Jr., of Hart ford, begins with the couple in a prom enade position. Polka one step for ward with left foot, then one forward with Tight foot, make a complete turn and polka then dance the glide polka, ending with three half turns and re peat first movement The trovata, the third dance, sub mitted by T. A. Holland of 9pringfield, Mass., i9 danced to polka-mazourka time. Taking a promenade position, the couple varsovienne—three steps and point—forward. Gentleman then varsoviennes back of his partner to the right and then repeats movement to left. The couple then varsovienne forward together, take a waits posi tion and complete the dance with a plain mazourka. Besides these three, the convention has considered the Columbian three step, by Frederick W. L'Amourenx of Blnghamton, N. Y. the way side gav «t by Helen C. Way of Hartford the gavot waltz, by D. B. Breoneke of Indianapolis follow on, a charm log dance for children, by Adolpb Newbergerof New York, and new Ger man figures by George Pruttlng, Jr.: Walter Curtes of Utica, Henry Kra mer of Los Angeles and William Pitt Rivers of Brooklyn. HAWAII'S TRADE IN FROGS. Insported to Bnt Inaeeta, The? Are How Exported For Money. Hawaii has commenced exporting flogs to the mainland, says tbe Hono lulu correspondent of tbe Chicago Inter Ocean. The industry, which was start ed at first to rid tbe islands of pests, has now become a paying one. Frogs were introduced into Hawaii only a few years ago by the agricultu ral department to get rid of insect pests which were injurious to vegetation. Later a Hllo man imported six dozen for breeding purposes. From the latter stock the frogs now exported have come. Shipments of 1,000 frogs a month are now being made to San Francisco and will be increased, for the supply does not now equal the demand. Many of tbe frogs are also sent to Honolulu for hotel use. They sell for II a dozen in Hllo. To Be a Senlptor. Marlette Benedict Thompson, the granddaughter of the first Bishop Pot ter of New York, is entering the field of sculpture at Florence.

Bnornoai Maaa of Fllea the British Mnaenm Will Store at Hendon. His majesty's office of works is Just beginning at Hendon, England, to raise a bouse in which tons of newspaper files now at the British museum will eventually be deposited, says the Lon don Chronicle. There is a whole news paper land in the museum, a land from which a file of almost any modern English paper can be dug out. Space gets more valuable at Bloomsbury, and this building Is necessary at Hendon for the storage of "newspapers and other printed matter" rarely required for use. That is the definition which a parlia mentary statute applies to the purposes of the Hendon annex. It also requires that the "newspapers and printed mat ter so removed" shall be made availa ble on due notice being given at the museum. In other words, the newspa pers at Hendon will be brought to Lon don for reference when they are need ed. Needless to say the files that are constantly being needed will not go there at all. Under the copyright act copies of newspapers and periodicals, as of books, must tie sent to the British museum. 'J'be newspaper mountain which this has produced can, in the trite phrase, better be imagined than described. In fact, it could not be de scribed, because much of it is buried away In the basements of tbe museum. The figures as to the sets of newspa pers and fortnigbtly and monthly pub lications received there are, however, •nfflciently eloquent In 1900 the number of such sets con tributed by London was 1,226 by pro vincial England, Wales and the Chan nel islands, 1,664 by Scotland, 288, and by Ireland, 222. These figures show a total of 3,400 sets, representing 220,' 389 single numbers of papers and kin died publications. The number of sets In 1890 was 2,472 and the single num bers of papers 170,838, a striking in crease in the ten years. However, there has been a slight drop. For 1901 tbe sets numbered 3,170 and the single numbers 208,582. Last year tbe num ber of sets was 3,222, comprising 190, 067 single numbers. When colonial and foreign newspapers are added it will be seen what a harvest flows to the museum. Every twelve months it lit erally gathers into its now well filled vastness huge loads of printed paper. Yet so carefully kept are tbe files that they can readily be consulted, even when they are purely local papers. HUNGRY FOR DOG MEAT. WlpliM Appenl to Authorities Par the "God Given Luxury." Broiled dog, fried dog and sundry Other forms of dog are considered del icacies by the Igorrotes of the northern province •of the Philippines, writes the Washington correspondent of the Chi cago Chronicle. According to advices just received at Washington Colonel E. C. Carter, Manila commissioner of public health, has received a gentle hint from Pro vincial Governor William G. Peck, at Bagulo, Benguet not to waste this "God given delicacy." His appeal is couched in the follow tng terms: "I know that some of the depart ments under your charge are killing dogs and throwing them away to get rid of them. Now, my people, you know, consider dog a God given lux ury. "Will it not tie possible in one way or another for you to send me 100, 200 or 500 dogs that you want to get rid of to San Fernando, where I will haTe Igorrotes waiting to bring them over the trail to me here in Bagnio? "The feast subsequent to such an event would make gods and men won der. Now, see if we cannot make such an arrangement." It is understood the request will be cheerfully complied with by Colonel Carter. Manila Is full of stray dogs, and he would give something handsome to get rid of them. The natives and Europeans there don't seem to consider them gastronomic luxuries. What Is Life? In the last analysis no-body knows but we do know that it is under strict law.

'A RAILWAY'S NEW MOVE Erie Road's Plan to Promote Its Employees. AH AGE LIMIT AGBEED UPON. Heccntly Ungaicrd Clerka Who at the Ave of Thirty-five Have Not Made necorda In Their Work Are Kequentcd to Itenien—Action Tak en to Protect Old Men. The Erie railroad has promulgated an order calling for the resignations of all clerks recently engaged who at the age of thirty-five have not advanced, iays the New York American. The resignations must be forwarded to the offices of the company within a few dayB, because the officials feel that there is no chance for men who at thirty-five have not demonstrated their executive ability. The men who are doomed to leave are those who have entered the com pany's employment since May 1, 1901, and in an apologetic way the officials pay that there are comparatively few Who will be affected. In the future, however, no man who has reached the age limit will be given employment In the clerkship grade by tbe big railroad. "Men who have become thirty-five without succeeding at something else thave little chance to take up railroad work," is tbe explanation of Secretary Granville A. Richardson. President Underwood, however, does not put it in tbe same way. He says: "The road owes a duty to men In its employ for the major part of their lives. It is constantly making provision for these men. It is an injustice to them to have men who have seen their best days in other lines enter our ^mploy. it is to protect our old em ployees that the order is issued. It is fair to assume that a man who has worked at some other business for the •better part of bis life is too well grounded to be of special value to a railroad company. The aim is to em ploy young men who wish to make rail roading their business." "The employment and training of railroad employees is a great problem, which can best bo appreciated by those who are frequently the victims of bad Judgment in railroad offices. This is what we are trying to remedy," said Secretary Richardson. "We do not say that a man who has been in the railroad business for some years is useless at thirty-five if be has not advanced, for be has at least learn ed the routine. The fact that be is still In the business, however, shows that there has been some defect in the sys tem that kept him when he was young. He should have been dropped long be fore. "Railroading principles should be taught while the brain is young. The younger the better, and in the future any man who asks us for employment will have to give a very strong explana tion'of why he has failed in other ca pacities if he is anywhere near thirty five. "Our idea now Is to get as many bright young boys as possible to go on the lowest rounds of the ladder to ad vance the others to the vacancies that will be made. By always having good material at the bottom it will be possi ble to advance the various grades as the good jobs at the top are opened, in stead of going to other companies to get high salaried men while our own wonder why it happens that way. "First, we want to protect our old men. and. secondly, make it unneces sary to go to other offices for good em ployees." In view of this action of the Erie it Is interesting to note the men who have accomplished things after tbe age of thirty-five. Julius Caesar was thirty-nine years old before be received his first impor tant military command. Oliver Cromwell was a very unimpor tant figure until he was nearly forty, when he girded on the armor wbich a few years later began to identify him with England's history. Christopher Columbus was nearly forty when he went to Ferdinand and Isabella with his plan for the discov ery of new continents, and it was not until he was forty-six that he started on his voyage. General Grant was a town character in the west until he was almost forty. George Washington had settled back into the indolent life of a Virginia planter when, at forty-two, he was called upon to undertake the great work which resulted in our freedom. Admiral Farragut was still a navy captain at flfty-four, and it was in the later years of his life that be became a distinguished admiral. At forty Lord Nelson had done little *nd was involved oersonallv and no CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

PRAIRIE DOGS HIS HELPERTS. llebraaka Parmer to Test Law De slvned to Rid Him of Hla Workmen. There Is great excitement and indig nation on the head waters of the Min necaduza creek, In Cherry county, Neb., over the action of Senator Brown of this district in securing the passage of a bill by the last legislature designed to exterminate one of the Industries of northwest Nebraska, says the Omaha Bee. It will be remembered that Senator Brown secured the passage of an act to exterminate the prairie dog in Ne braska. When tbey were not exter minated by the owner of tbe land on which they had their habitat, then it was made the duty of the road over seer to destroy them and charge the expense of same against the land. Louis Grosmentir, who was one of the earliest settlers on tbe Minnecadu za creek, near Georgia, Neb., has for a number of years been training the in habitants of a small prairie dog town upon his farm. As is well known, the most profitable crop that can be grown in this region is alfalfa. For the great est success in growing alfalfa two things are necessary. First, that the roots of the alfalfa plant shall be in fected with a certain fungus, and, sec ond. that the roots shall be able to pierce the soil and reach tbe water be neath. Mr. Grosmentir made the im portant discovery a few years ago that this fungus is propagated by the prai rie dog and carried by it in digging its burrows through the earth so as to pre pare the ground for alfalfa culture. After four years of diligent application he has perfected his system so that his dogs not only infect the soil with fun gus. but break through tlie bardpan in numberless places so as to afford easy access to the alfalfa roots to the nil important water beneath. One of the most beautiful sights ever witnessed in tbe redemption of tlie semiarid west is to behold Mr. Gros mentir's town of prairie dogs at work preparing afield for alfalfa culture. It has just been made known that under the statute passed by the last legislature of Nebraska these beautiful and industrious redeemers of the region are condemned to death. Mr. Grosmen tir is taking steps to test the law and for that purpose will consult the most eminent counsel in the state. AMBITIONS OF JAPANESE.

Well, then, we desire this war if only to con quer our place in the world, even if it I were to bring us no material advan-1 tage.
