THE SAN CARLO.


Theatres are numerous in Italy. each little
town having at least one which is Q matter
OF local pride. As rule, they are isolated
and on the outside do not attract notice. The
entrances and the vestibules are few and
poorly decorated, and the corridors are mar
row and cramped. The stages, however, are
spacious, and are deep and well adapted for
the ballet, the popular Italian entertainment.
The opera features OF Italian amusements
have made celebrated some of the houses de-
voted to music. San Carlo at Naples is the
Oldest and most famous. 1t was founded in
1871, burned in 1916 and soon afterward re-
stored. IL has an area Of $4,000 square feet.
San Carlo has presented the Grandest musi-
cal compositions in the life Of italian opera,
having been contemporary with almost all
great composers. This house seats 9, GOO peo-
pie and is next in size to the famous La Scala
in Milan. The stage covers 6, 500 square feet.
In Scala at Milan was opened in 1T78 and
derives its name from the Church Of Santa
Maria q Scala, which stood on the site. La
Scala covers an area of II 900 square feet
and seats 5000 people, the largest capacity
Of any theatre in Europe. The proscenium
opening Is So feet and the stage is IS feet
wide and 100 feet deep. This house, like
some others In Italy, has many modern Inn
provements. including electric lights.

A Curious Incids snt In the Early History
of si.c Canary Islands.
a curious tale OF besieged and
conquered monastery belongs to the
early history of the Canary Islands.
and is retold by Charles Edwards in
his recent description of the isles. In
the early part of the eighteenth cent
ur. there lived in Orotava, on the
island of Teneritfe, a convent Of Do
minican nuns, who. after some years
OF ease. had the misfortune to be
burned out of house and home. They
went into temporary quarters for a
year, but became dissatisfied with such
ing about for permanent abiding
place.
At that time there was in Orotava q
house of JeSuits which had lost its
former importance. and, though COM
modious and healthful. gave lodging
to but two men. the rector of the house
and his assistant On this mansion
the nuns cast covetous eyes. and soon
resolved to appropriate it. One
morning about forty OF them advanced
against it, by strategy induced the
Jesuit brother to open the outer gate,
and then, trooping into the court
yard. fell on their knees, thanking
God for their preliminary success. In
vain did the two monks reason with
them on their scandalous conduct
They merely held their ground. ex-
claiming:
''Father Andrew. this il a large cage
for 80 few oirdsr'
Some OF the more reasonable mem-
bers OF the sisterhood explained that
they were really in need of a dwelling
as spacious a. this. and that they did
not propose leaving ii. The rector. in
despair, fed into the sacristy, from
which retreat he exhorted his coll
lie que to be OF good cheer.
Patience. brother, cried he. land
do your best to extricate yourself from
those ladies'
That, however, was more easily said
than done. especially as the nuns were
becoming so excited that they might
momentarily have been expected TO
resort to the argument Of nails.
The siege lasted for three or four
hours. News OF it flew about the
town. and bands OF young men.

American houses are furnished very
luxuriously, and for the most part
with exquisite taste. Here you see the
influence of woman in the smaller de-
tails of life; indeed, at every step you
take you sec that woman has passed
that way.
The luxury displayed at receptions,
dinners and dances surpasses European
imagination. At ball given in New
York in the month of February, 1888.
the walls were covered with roses,
which did not cost less than $40. 900.
When one considers that the supper,
and every thing else, was on the same
scale it becomes doubtful whether such
luxury is to be admired. l was pres
ent one evening at a dinner given in
the large dining hall at Delmonico's
restaurant, in New York. We were
eighty-seven guests at an immense
round table. The center of the board
was covered with gigantic star OF
trope. At that season lilies were worth
q dollar each, and all through the win.
ter the price OF roses was from quar-.
ter to two dollars apiece, according tc
kind. The Americans at this feast es-
timated the star of flowers at six OF
seven thousand dollars.
