The new volume in the Zigzag rle. "Journey In the Antipodes," give a very graphic description of the wonderful physical training of thee girl, whose age vary from five to twenty year. The cut ioua and subtle feat of picking up a bit of straw with tho eyelids can bo learned only by the youngest of them, who are made to practice it in order to render them flexlb e In every part of the body. There are two long row of bonoho, one 11 little higher than the othor. )n the lower I a row of littlo girl and on the upper bench are laid flno pollthed hit of straw. At tho sound of tho drum tho littlo girl altogether bond the head and neck until they touch the bits of straw, which with wonderful dexterity they secure between the cor ners of the oyclid. Tho cup dance is tho most graceful and (Hxstic of tholr dance. A row of young women with a tier of cups 00 tholr heads take their pliioc In thecon U;r of the gymnasium. A buret of Joy ous music follows. On hearing this they simultaneously. with mili tary precision, knoel down and fold tholr hnnds, and bow their head until their foreheads almost touch tho polished marble floor, koep Ing the cups steadily on their head by some marvelous Jerk of tho neck. Then suddenly irini?inif to tholr feet, thov describe a succession of rapid and Intri cate circles, keeping timo to the music with tholr arms, head and foot Next follow a miracle of art such as may bo found only among people of tho highest physical training. 'The music swell Into a rapturous tumult. 'Hie dancer raie their delicate feet, curve their arm and lingers In seemingly Im pOUtblt llexures, sway to and fro liko withe of willow, agitato all the muscle of tho body liko the flutter of leaves In soft evening breeze, but still keep tho tier of cups on tholr heads. At other times a cup full of some liquid is placed on the floor in tho eontor of tho hall. A girl will spring to her feet and dance alsnit It In round wild eddies, and suddenly laying herself down, keeping her arms folded light on her breast, will take up the cup with her Hps and drain the liquid without spilling n drop.
