The female form is pretty well put to
gether. It isn't ii Blight and flimsy thing
liable to como th pieces any minute.
This is one of a variety of thoughts
that occurr to tho spectator of tho
modern feminine "split'' dance, which is
an exhibition of anatomical possibilities
that has proved sufflcicntlly alluring to
call for its introduction into nearly all
clai-see of theatricals.

tho Lansing Thursday night tho other
one was sick. But theso four did
enough kicking and splitting for an
army.
The "split" that was given was no
sham. It was genuino and it wub moro
than a yard wide. The young women
came down kerplunk on tho stage with
their limbs in o posito directions, and
instead of coming to pieces they sat
there and smiled.
tp one can witness the split, and in
justico to Mr. Cleveland, tho minstrel,
not tho president, it should be stated
that the samples given Thursday night
were tho proper caper, without coming
away with an inci eased respect for tho
feminine phjsical make-up. It is a
thing not 1 be lightly regarded. It
can stand some piotty tough knocks.
For about tlvo minutes the Luusiug
stage was a iiiiielfitioni of legs. Tho
heads anil other encumbrances of the
dancers w ere only now and then their
visible. Legs were thrown about, pro
jected to dizzy heights, slummed on tho
floor, and thing around generally in a
dizzy manner that recalled visions of
tho Midway Pluisance.
The dance was done as gracefully as
such an exhibition can bo done. It is
called a dance by courtesy.
The minstrel show that was attached
to the dtinco-wus very much liko all
minstrel shows. Tho vocal parts wero
particularly good, notably Will Wallh g,
whose phenomenal tenor voice was
hoard to excellent advantage in a song
of the "After The Hull" aerie.
During tho evening a small portion of
the ceiling fell down, but it is asserted
with some show of feeling that this
little incident wus in no way caused by
anything that occurred on tho stage.

Lolo Fuller says she discovered tho
possibilities of dratwry in dancing by
moro chance. "A friend of mine," says
tho dancer, "sent me from Calcutta a
Nautch girl's dress, and I put it on. I
began to pose before a largo mirror and
dance about, holding tho edge of tho
voluminous skirls in my hands. Tho
strong sunlight shining through a
stained glass window fell upon mo and
tho air caught tho silk and tloated it
about mo in graceful and fantastic
forms." Miss Fuller has traced tho
origin of drapery dunces to Miriam,
sister of Aaron.
Camlllo d'Arvlllo, who has more crea
tive ability than any singer on tho
American light operatic stage, iscroditcd
by tho Boston press as making "tho em
phatic success" of tho now Byrno-Kerkor
opera "Venus." Mllo. d'Arvlllo was for
two seasons tho prima donna of the
Bostonluns, and it is surmised that her
potent personality in that popular or
ganization will be very difficult to re
place. Messrs. Byrne and Korker were
forced to secure her services at a high
tlguro, but tho apparently extravagant
movo was ovidontly wlso nud economical
on tho part of the enterprising manage
ment. Robert Tabor, lately loading man with
tho Julia Marlnwo company, has been
ongaged by tho Coghlans as a member
of their company, and will play tho part
of Captain Julian Beaucterc, alternating
with Mr. Sullivan, probably.

Sometimes the light colored wrapper is
the most popular, then again tho dark
wrapper is the ono tinut used, Just now
the light colored wrnpier made from the
Connecticut leaf is having its day, and It
to bringing a high prico In the market.
The Connecticut valley is one of tho
oldest tobacco growing districts in the
United States, and the quality of the to
bacco there grown ranks with the beet in
the world, The industry has made many
poor men wealthy, and from Hartford
north to tho state line the country is
dotted with magnificent homes built, u
it were, on n foundation of "straight
to great an outlay of money Is neces
sary to the growth of tobacco in this lo
cality that a man of moderate means li
barred out of it. It in a way of in vesting
thousand of dollars so that they will
draw n largo rato of Interest.
To produce n fine grade of tobacco the
Connecticut valloy land must bo richly
fertilised, and for that purpose hundreds
of tons of stable offal nro shipped an
nually from Now York city at an im
mense outlay of money. Some growers
think that there is moro vlrtuoln cotton
seed meal and Indian meal and plaster
their land witli them, often bringing the
cost or fortillrutioii up to f 60 an aero,
and as tho uverago tobacco farm con
tains 8.1 acres it will bo booh that ferti
lising it costs each year a round sum of
money.
The growth of tbe tobacco plant is
slow and attended with much labor. Tho
most of tho tobacco grown in Connecti
cut is from Cuba seed that is sown in
hot beds as early as tho COth of March.
The plants are sot out from tho 1st to tho
15th of Juno about 0) feet apart. If it is
a hot, dry season, tho young plants aro
protected by green grass that is sproad
over them during tho day and removed
at night. Tho plants are carefully nursed
until they are fivo or six inches high.
Then hoeing begins and is kept up until
the last of August, when harvest com
mences. The tobacco worm, if left to itself,
plays aad havoo with the plant. It is a
voracious creature and destroys with
great rapidity. It gets upon the under
aide of the leaf and ,eaU a small round
hole through it rendering it useless as a
wrapper and sending the leaf, down to
the third grade. Each plant in a tobacco
field .most be carefully inipeoted each
day and these worms destroyed. An
other menace to the plant andoneagainit
which there is no protection to called the
"August ball." it uahallttora peculiar
to the valle v from the 1st to the SOth of
August. It cnta the leavee badly, and in
afewminut .4 will damage many thou
and dollars' worth of property.
If left to itself, the tobacco plant
growl tall and blossom at the top like
the arallen. In order that the loaves
may grow large, the main stalk is cut
off several inches from the top. This is
called "topping;" aad it takes placeabout
tho middle of August. The stalk; at the
point whore it is cnt, sends forth a res
inous substance that covers the wound
and in a few hours hardens. From this
timo tho leaves grow very rapidly.
The time at which the cutting begins
depends upon tho growth of the plant.
Ordinarily tho work commences Sept. 1.
Tho stalk is cut closo to the ground and
allowed to lio several hours in the sun
until it is wilted. The leaves are then
tough. When first cut, they nro brittlo
and in handling aro apt to break. When
they havo been exposed to tho sun long
enough, tho stulks lira removed to tho
tobacco bams.
Tho tobacco burns aro long buildings,
so made that the sides and ends may be
opened on hinges. Tliero aro ventilators
in tho roof and small doors in tho sides
ut tho bottom and top so arranged
'''lit the ventilation may bo reguluted to
Miit the wcuther. Running across these
barns from wall to wall are two tiers of
slats or wires, and upon these tho to
bacco stalks are hung, top down, by
means of a nail that is driven slanting
wise through the bottom of the stalk.
The curing process continues several
weeks, much depending on the weather,
and during that time the greatest cau
tion is observed to see that the ventila
tion is favorable to perfectly coloring
the leaves, as it is upon this that their
value depends. The change of color in
coring tobacco is largely due to a process
of fermentation which takes place in the
hanging leaves and for which a certain
amount of moisture iu tho leaf is abso
lutely necessary. It is necessary that
tho air should circulate freely around
each loaf. If tho leaves are dried too
rapidly, the veins show white and shin
ing and aro rendered low in grade.
When the proper or desired color in the
icut is readied, tno tobacco is given
' greater ventilation
and rapidly dried
' out. This ii culled "fixing tho color."

' In tho curing houses it is threatened with
"pnlo burn" und "stem rot," n disease
that is caused by the plant being cut too
green or by a too damp atmosphere. It
makes its appearance in tho stem of the
plunt aud rapidly spreads to the tips of
tho leaves. When cured, tho leaves are
stripped from tho stalks and sorted. The
leaves growing in tho middle of tho stalk
are called prime wrappers or first qual
ity Thero aro two lower grades. The
leaves ure packed fiat and closely pressed
together in half pound pucktiges, in
which form they uro sold. Somotimeu a
tobacco raiser doesn't get his crop ready
for the market until midwinter. The
price commanded by Connecticut leaf
varied from 10 cents a ouud for the
loweht grade to 45 rents a pound for first
grade. N Thomas Hoi.mks.
