He reached down to catch it, after caressing it a few times with his foot, and found that it was a pure black fox. Seen by an expert, the animal was pro- nounged to 'be easily the best that has been seen in the city this season. and one of the finest female black foxes that he ever saw.

POPE'S DANCE IN FAVOR -- Furlana Strong Rival to the Tango In Rome. Rome, Feb. 3. -- Furlana. Venetian dance which the pope re- commended as modest, graceful and picturesque after witnessing the tan- go, is now rivalling "'exotic" dances in popular favor. Italian papers are full of Furlana. It was thought the pope might be annoyed at the pub- licity given his remark, but on the contrary he is delighted to hear of the success of Furlana, now known universally as the pope's dance. The pope's dance and the dance of the devil, as some bishops 'have cabled the tango, are thus competing for pre-eminence in the Eternal ity.
