FAMOUS BALLET DANCERS.
Stories of La Taglioni, Fanny Ellsler
and Lola Montez.
From the Ix?n(h<n Mall.
A feature of this year's opera season will
be the revival of ttie ballet at Co vent Gar
den, with Mlie. Uoni, from Brussels, as
principal dancer.
It has l>een asserted that the grand bal ?
)*>t died when .the famous Taglioni retired
In IMS. At any rate, the ballet today is
chlefl) a spectacle of dress and colored
limelight. Except for a very few perform
ers, dancing us a high art has vanished.
There is no one now to set beside La
Taglioni, who was the queen of the stage
sixty years a*.' Ualsac in t renin ceil her
Into his novels Kven Thackeray conde
scended to notice her and declared en
thusiastically in "The Newcomefc" that the
"young men of the day will never see any
thing so graceful as Taglioni in 'La
Bvlphlde.' " At that time she was the rage.
Stage coaches and great-coats were named
after her.
l.a Taglioni owed her charm to a win
derful lightness and grace. Her style was
rather ideal than realistic and voluptuous,
us was then the vogue. The hideous ballet
skirt of today she never wore, but a skirt
that reached nearly to her ankltfe. It was
one of the principles of her father, who
taught her all siie learned of the art, that
the dancer *hould he modest in dress, in
movement and in expression
Another famous master, who called him
self "Le l>ieu de la Danse," always told
his pupils to use all the coquetry they
could.
Vestris. who founded the famous Vestris
family, was an eighteenth century celeb
rity, and quite remarkably conceited even
for a dancer. "There are but three great
men alive," he used to say, "myself, the
l'russian Frederick and Voltaire." tit !s
Interesting to compare Soutiiey's rernafK
that a male dancer deserves to be ham
strung i That profession of which he was
so proud is. Indeed, an arduous one. Ves
trls used to pcactice for about, six houra
a day. A dancer must be extremely strong
and supple.
A curious story is told about Fanny
Kllsler. a Herman dancer with coal black
hair, which illustrates the extreme muscu
lar strength a dancer acquires. She was
crossing to America when she entered her
cabin one day and discovered a thief ab
stracting the jewel case which she kept
colors in a book we will send you free if r
you write for it. e
The presents are ail right. We dis- c
tributed 4,000,000 presents in twelve r
months. But it is the quality of Ariosa? f.
| the fact that it is the greatest coffee value t
in the world for the money, that makes ?
its sales for 37 years greater than the sales
of all other packaged coffees in the United
States combined. It is a blend of
Brazilian coffee of delicious flavor and J
aroma, that increases the power and am- I
bition to work. We drink it ourselves *
with the best coffee in the world to choose
i from. V
Don't buy loose coffee. You may be
I sure that it collects the dust of the store
and freely absorbs impurities. You never
know where it comes from, where it has
been or how much it has been handled.
There is nothing to identify it except the
price?no way to know positively that
1 you are actually receiving what you pay
for?the grocer doesn't know for he has
to trust somebody who trusts somebody
else. Insist upon Arbuckles'Ariosa Coffee
; and if your grocer refuses to sell it to you
j write to us.

! coating the bean patented by this firm,

| teristic of o\r skilled coffee blending and
hidden under her pillow. Before he could
attack her she planted her foot full In
his chest and killed him on the spot.
It is curious that no Kngllsh woman has
ever achieved supreme success as a dancer,
it Is possible, as foreigners assert, that
they lack the dramatic gift. It Is certain
that a lifelong devotion and arduous ap
prenticeship are essential to any expression
through the medium of dancing, The
"rats." the beginners at the Paris Opera,
are articled for live years, and then unless
they have danced from their cradle they
cannot hope to attain the first rank.
Another quality essential to the great
dancer is infinite patience. The only Eng
lish dancer who ever gave promise of at
taining the front rank failed in this re
spect. I.ola Montez was the somewhat
foreign name she had taken. She lost her
temper one day with the manager at re
hearsal and expressed her feelings so dra
matically as to break an umbrella over his
head. Managers will endure much for
art's sage, but this was too much.
Oarlotta Grisi is another famous name of !
the old opera. It was she who first intro
duced the polka into England?a Bohemian
dance that came to stay. It was for her,
too that Heine, Gautier and Adolplie Adam
collaborated in writing "Giselle."
There were a scor? more famous names
that were familiar words In those days.
Of tho twelve leading dancers engaged at
the King's Theater In 1824 for a two
months' season live were a sufficient attrac
tion to receive more than ?1,000 each.
A Frog to the Kescue.
From tbr Woman's Home Companion.
One day a couple of my friends were
sitting on the river bank when they heart
the cry of a frog in distress. Following
the direction from which the sound came,
they discovered a snake in the act of swal
lowing a frog.
Just then another frog, evidently at
tracted by the distressing cries of its mate
In Jeopardy, hopped up to the scene of
action. For a moment It sat blinking at
the enemy, then leaped forward, seized the
sn.tke by the neck and tugged It into the
river.
The water quickly poured between the
snake's distended jaws, and it was, of
course, compelled to release its victim In
'order to escape drowning. This it prompt
ly did, and the liberated frog swam away
with its plucky mate, while the baffled
snake wriggled, as best It could, to the
shot*.

TO UNDERSTAND WOMEN.
Dr. Emil Reich's Lecture on Marriage
in England.
From the London Mall.
Lovely woman In her myriad moods and
phases formed the subject of Dr. Emll'
Reich's lecture at Claridge's Hotel yester
day afternoon.
The subject of the lecture was present
in large numbers and In exquisite sum
mer dress; the fragrance of roses, violets,
and many other sweet blooms was wafted
about the room as bon mot and shrewd
observation from the platform caused the
fans to wave with a little more anima
tion and the picture hats to toss In dis
dain or amusement.
"Men In this country do not understand
women." said Dr. Reich. "Here woman 19
nothing: man everything. You must love
the women of various nations to under
stand those nations?otherwise you can t.
I never loved an American woman; and
she could not love me. (Laughter.) If you
(llrt with women of various nationalities
in your youth, and love them when they
are mature, you wlllViinderstand. (Laugh
ter.1
"The great thing to do in this country
is to abolish the nursery?(laughter).
There is too much handing over of chil
dren to the care of menials." There was,
he thought, altogether too much reck
lessness in gymnastic teaching of girls
ut a critical age ? fifteen to eighteen
years. Affectology was becoming the
curse of education, especially of girls.
They wanted to be able to write home to
"pa" that they were studying the "Ac
tiones Praetoriae" in the Latin.
Breach of promiee of marriage was
peculiar to this country and America. It
was dreadful that women could get down
so low as to submit the most intimate
and delicate matters of the heart to the
ribaldry of Judge and Jury and populace.
The woman who did thut was a disgrace
to her sex. Great Britain could really
never hope to gain the ascendency in the
conflict of nations unless British women
took their rightful place In the nation.
The clerk on ?1<H? a year was so full of
conceit of himself that if a noblewoman,
cultured, beautiful, rich, offered herself
in marriage to him he would think it
nothing surprising. A case of the kind
had recently come under Dr. Reich's no
tice. and the man, worth "about as much
as the nail-paring the lady threw away
in manuicuring h??r fingers." was graciously
considering his decision. (Laughter.)
NEBRASKA LAND SALES
Real Estate Boom in Western
Part of the State
IS APPARENTLY PERMANENT
Probably Mostly Due to Increased
Rainfall.
CHOPS HAVE BEEN EXCELLENT
Other Causes Have Contributed to the
Immigration of Settlers
*
From the East.
Special Correspondence of The Star.
LINCOLN, Neb., June 20, 100(5.
Politics as a topic for discussion ha3 al
ways occupied an Important place In Ne
braska, especially at this season of the
year, but the chief subject of comment in
all parts of the state at this time is the
remarkable land boom now on in the west
ern section, and politics has been pushed to
a subordinate position In its claim to the
attention of the citizens. There have been
big booms In real estate before this, par
ticularly in the early days of this com
monwealth, but the present activity In land
sales in the western section Is unprece
dented in the history of the state, and the
most favorable aspect of the boom is that
it bears the marks of permanency.
The Star's correspondent has just made a
trip through the section in which the great
est activity In real estate is noted?the
portion traversed by the Burlington and
Missouri railroad?and the signs of prosper
| ity are observed on every hand. There are
j several reasons to turn homeseekers' at
tention to western Nebraska. One cause of
! the boom is attributed to the efteet of the
( Klnkald homestead law, which became ef
fective June 28, 1H04, allowing a man to
homestead G40 acres Instead of ICO. Another
cause is tho systematic and extensive adver
tising done by the Burlington railroad to
induce residents of eastern states to emi
grate to Nebraska. But still another and
perhaps the most potent cause of the re
cent and rapidly growing land boom is due
to the increased rainfall over the western
section and the consequent splendid crops
that have been harvested in the section
during the last few years.
Purchases Mostly for Settlement.
Of course, some of the activity is due to
persons who are buying land for purposes
of speculation, but moat of the sales are
to those who desire to establish homes In
the comparatively new country and engage
in farming or stock raising, the opportuni
ties for both Industries being especially
abundant. On the railroad sidings at nearly
all the small western towns may be noticed
many emigrant cars containing the house
hold effects and farming machinery of east
erners who have purchased homes In the
west. Greatly Increased business activity
is noted In the towns themselves. Towns
that ten years ago arid less languished in
the monotonous succession of crop failures
and hard times have been awakened and
are now bustling little centers of business.
All the store buildings and dwelling houses
that for years were unoccupied are now
filled with stocks of goods and families and
newcomers are clamoring for more houses,
the carpenters being unable to erect dwell
ings or stores fast enough for tho inllux of
new residents. In one small town In the
southwestern jwirt of the state the base
ment of one of the churches had to be util
ized as a dwelling for one family owing to
the scarcity of houses. Many real estate
agencies have sprung into existence an-d all
seem to be doing: a thriving business.
The change In the western part of Ne
braska in the last ten or fifteen years has
been remarkable. When the Burlington
system built Its railroad through to Denver
in the early eighties the corporation ex
pended thousands and thousands Tif dollars
In establishing towns and in colonizing the
country adjacent to the line. The unde
veloped country then experienced a great
boom, and thousands of homeseekers from
eastern states flocked to the western part
of Nehraska to settle on the wild govern
ment land and "set rich quick." Many of
the emigrants doubtless expected to suc
ceed with the expenditure of but little
labor. These were disappointed. The cli
mate then did not seem adapted to farm
ing, the rainfall was meager and the coun
try appeared to be suitable only for cattle
raising. Homesteads were mortgaged, and
the settlers loaded up what they had left
and departed In "prairie schooners" back
to "wife's folks."
The Strenuous Times.
But many of the early settlers of the west
ern counties held on to their land and
earnestly strlved to make farming profit
able. Then came the disastrous drouths
in the late eighties and the early nineties,
when the residents of the section were una
ble to obtain e%-en the necessities of life,
and aid was furnished by their more pros
perous friends in the east. In the winter
of 1S04-5 manv carloads of clothing, meat,
flour and other food, as well as feed for
cattle and horses, were sent to the west
ern part of Nebraska and publicly dis
tributed among the needy inhabitants.
These contributions were commonly desig
nated as "aid."
As one old resident farmer stated the
situation the other day, the people who
had land there then could not give it
away, and the owners simply had to re
main in the country because they couldn't
let go.
But since those trying years, and espe
cially in the last five, there has been a
steady increase of rainfall; the country has
been gradually acquiring an energetic and
determined class of farmers, and today the
western portion of Nebraska is prosperous
and flourishing. The farmers have money
in the bank, neat and prosperous looking
homes, good sized herds of cattle and
horses, and they are reaping the reward
for their perseverance and effort.
The wave of prosperity has also struck
the northwestern section of Kansas, and
towns that -were once abandoned have been
revived and are now bustling little centers
of trade. The average price of unimproved
land In western Nebraska Is about $10 an
acre, and the -price Is steadily advancing,
while some farms have been sold recently
for as high as $10 an acre. The boom In
land Is on in earnest, and the prospects
are that the price of farm land will con
tinue to increase within the next five years.
The western country has "arrived."
Prosperity of Nebraska.
According to the last census the popula
tion of Nebraska Is 1,0?5,3M), or forty-six
acres for ?very man, woman and child in
it. or fourteen persons to tho square mile,
as contrasted with seventeen In Kansas,
forty In Iowa, forty-flve in Missouri and
eighty-five in lilnois. The name Ne
braska is a combination of Indian words,
meaning Water Valley, suggested by the
preseiw-e of <i miles of streams and more
than 100 lakelets. The state has estab

of corn, fourth In production of wheat,
foi;rth In production of oats, fourth In

further Impetus, and she Is fifth In the
production of that commodity. Nebraska
has less Illiteracy than any other state In
the Union, and her mortality statistics
show he* to be tts healthful as any other
state, not excluding- those which are moun
tainous. Nebraska's output of butter has
Increased about 50 per cent since 1900,
when farmers all over the state began to
take an Increased interest In dairying, ow
ing to the efforts of the Beatrice Creamery
Company, one of the largest creamery cor
porations in the world, which instituted a
campaign of education along dairy lines
and established many branch creamery sta
tions all over Nebraska, Kansas, Colo
rado and South Dakota.
In the western part of the state, where
the land boom is the most pronounced,
there has been a noticeable Increase in
dairying and in sheep raising as well. Corn
is the principal crop of the section, but
wheat, barley, oats and rye are grown suc
cessfully. Alfalfa Is also one of the prin
cipal products and in late years it has
been discovered that alfalfa thrives In the
sandy upland. This discovery has been a
source of great profit to the farmers, es
pecially those engaged more or less exten
sively in stock-raising.
Big Corn Crop Probable.
The prospects for a big crop of corn are
very promising at this time, and if the
promises are fulfilled the activity in real
estate will receive a still greater impetus
and there is no calculating to what heights
the price of land may soar. The rainfall
is steadily increasing from year to year. It
seems to require but a comparatively small
amount of rain to produce a crop in the
western section, and every big shower is an
event. Several days ago the writer was
in the western section when the clouds be
gan to gather in the northwest. The citi
zens of the small town forgot their business
and congregated In groups along the prin
cipal business street to discuss the pros
pects of a shower, whether it would reach
the town or pass around. There had been
no rain of any consequence for about
six weeks, and a good shower was more
important to these people at this time than
all the presidential elections, packing-house
investigations or railroad-rate bills that
might ever be held or presented. Every
citizen of the town, and no doubt of the
surrounding country, watched the clouds
gather and "squeezed" for the rain. And
It came. It was a drenching downpour, and
every man In town bought a good cigar
and celebrated in Joy over the event. If
the people can "squeeze" hard enough this
summer they will all be rolling In clover
next fall. A. R. 1.
Actors as Playwrights.
From Everybody's Magazine.
There Is a general impression that actors,
at least modern actors, do not write good
plays, although William Gillette is a strik
ing exception. It is true that actor-play
wrights are somewhat prone to sacrifice
everything else to highly theatric effects,
and that their plays are likely to be super
ficial. "Cousin Louisa," by Frederick
Paulding, makes no pretensions except to
be amusing, and that it certainly is. Clever
ly and good-naturedly it satirizes the com
mon tendency to sacrifice almost everything
for money; It has real characters and a suc
cession of incidents of the kind that player
folk call "business," that are original and
joyously humorous. Not in a long time
h.ive I more thoroughly enjoyed a scene
than tliat in which Cousin Louise and her
husband make love to each other. Because
they were tired of being poor they had
separated, each agreeing to make a rich
marriage. The pair become reconciled and
then Immediately quarrel in the most human
way.
FAMILY JEWELS?NEW STYLE.
They Are Jewels That All the Family
Can Wear.
From the New York Suo.
"The term family jewels has attained a
new significance of late," said a jeweler.
"According to the modern interpretation, a
family jewel is one that It is possible for
the entire family to wear, mamma, papa
and the children.
"You see, there's a certain class here in
New York that may be characterized as th?
impecunious rich. While they are undeni
ably rich, still they can't afford to spend a
small fortune on passing fancies in the jew
elry line, and in order to make as good an
appearance as their richer acquaintances
without too great expense the family jewel
scheme is very popular.
"Of course, diamonds are generally con
sidered the most desirable purchase from
the standpoint of an investment. Fashions
come and fashions go, but diamonds are
always in style.
"For this reason they are the chief jewel
investment of the impecunious rich. Only
the other day I sold a pair of perfectly
matched diamonds to a wealthy woman?a
woman having comparatively few jewels,
but what she hta are very choice.
"These diamonds were to be mounted as
earrings, each stone and Its setting to screw
into a small gold plate arranged to hoid it
and so made that the stone could quick
ly removed and a filigree gold ball take its
place. Thl9 bajl, of course, was provided
with a similar screw.
"At the same time she ordered a beauti
fully wrought gold scarf pin and a heavy
finger ring, both for her husband. Th?se
were with blank settings into which the
diamonds screwed firmly. In this way she
not only secured a pair of handsome ear
rings, but on occasions her husband could
sport a new and very beautiful diamond
scarf pin and an extra diamond ring into
the bargain, provided .always that his wlfo
didn't care to wear her earrings at tha
samo time.
"Then I have another rich woman In mljid
who occasionally wears a bar pin set with
Ave perfectly matched diamonds. F"W
know it, but on occasion these diamonds
may be unscrewed from their settings la
the pin and distributed among the entire
family.
"Husband may decide to wear one in th<5
empty setting of his scarf pin. The grown
? up son may speak for one as a ring.
Daughter may screw one Into the setting
| waiting for it in the face of her thin gold
locket, mother tak'tig the two others for
I earrings. This Is the secret of the modern
family Jewels.
"A handsome turquoise set with dia
monds is a frequent investment for 'hla
sort of use. though it cannot be used as
much as a diamond. Single pearls may hn
used in the same way, or a single hand
some pearl surrounded by diamonds is well
adapted to this scheme."
Oriental Brewery Trust.
From Everybody's Magazine.
There is a brewery trust in Japan. One?
Japan imported all the beer she consumed.
After a time she learned how to make her
own beer, and at several places breweries
were established with Japanese capital.
These for a time competed?with the usual
result. In 11#H the government itself con
ceived, planned, initiated and organized the
brewery trust of Japan, and now directs
the trust's operations. T'nder government
direction the trust has thrived amazingly,
and while stupid competition has been elim
inated no one has been injured, no one has
been garroted or robbed. Meanwhile un
der government control the amount of beer
exported from Japan in ISK'3 was double
the amount exported in 1!*H. and the
amount exported In H#ws will probably dou
ble the amount exported in 1!k>5, for under
government direction Japan Is beginning to
6eize the beer trade in China and Korea.
