IN THE AMPHiTHEATER.

a Contest Before King Herod and Pom"
titus PiEatas HI Jerusalem.
On one of those days he went to the
anphitheater, the circus which Eerod
the Great had built, at some distance
fro1n the city. He paid for seat in one
o. the upper galleries. On tho tiers OF
seats below him were all sorts Of people,
and lar away, on the opposite side of the
vast arena, the sandy level in the mid
Ole, ho saw, in the lower tier, q canopled
place that was furnished magnificently.
In it there were throne seats, and on
them sat King Eerod Antipas, Pontlus
Pilatus, the Roman governor, two Ro-
man generals, with other distinguished
men, and number Of richly dressed
women, some of whom were brilliant
tiaras or coroGets upon their heads. lie
stared at them for g few minutes and at
the tremendous tIlrong Of people, but
after that he thought only Of what was
going on i'll the arena.
There were chariot races, and Cyril
could not help being intensely excited by
the mad rush Of the contending teams,
while all the thousands who locked on
shouted and rayed. After the races,
however, came scenes some OF which
made him shudder. There were foot races
and boxing matches, but these were soon
over, and then there were contests be-
tween pairs Of swords1nen, spearmen,
clubmen, and tho like, in which the
fight went on until one CT the combat
ants was slain. Close upon the last of
these duels, bands Of gladiators marched
i'll from opposite sides Of the arena and
charged each other like attachments Of
soldiers upon real battlefield.
The fighting was furious and desper-
ate, but one side was soon beaten, for
the parties had not been equal. One
party had been trained warriors, pro-
fessional gladiators, and the other only
common men, captives taken in recent
raid Of Pilatus' soldiers upon wild
tribe beyond the Dead sea. They were
brave enough, but they were put there
only to be killed for the amusement of
the great men and of the multitude So
were the poor victims with whom the
days exhibition closed, for they were
driven into the arena, half armed, to
contend as best they could with num-
Der Of hungry lions, tigers, leopards and
hyenas, which were loosed upon them
from their dens under the tiers of seats.

A CaptiVe Balloon.

The principal danger in captive work
is the always present possibility Of the
wire rope parting, not because OF the
obvious result that the balloon, being
set free, would at once make off at speed,
but for reasons of very simple technical
nature, albeit none the more pleasant by
reason of their simplicity. 1t must be
understood that when captive balloon
has been sent up the required height, the
neck Of the balloon has to be tied up SO
as to prevent the wind from e4erting
pressure on the envelope and forcing
out the gas, which would result in the
balloon very shortly losing its lifting
power and descending. In free runs the
neck must always be wide open, for
otherwise any sudden expansion OF gas
might burst the balloon. Hence IT a
captive breaks away it is bound to make
an unduly rapid ascent, since it is sud
denly released from the restraint as we'll
as the weight of the wire rope.
Of course in such an emergency the
gas would at once commence to expand
furiusly, and unless the neck OF the
balloon were instantly opened and kept
open the envelope would inevitably
burst. In the shocking accident at the
Crystal palace in 1892, when poor Dale
and his comrades lost their lives, the
balloon was started with too much lift
and commenced to rise with undue na-
pidity. Dale, the aeronaut, realizing the
danger, opened the neck and IN his anx-
iety to see that it was clear looked into
it, and it is supposed that his head
checked the outrush of heated gas, with
the resnit that tho envelope instantly
burst, with terrible results. -Macmll-

NEW WOMAN IN LITERATURE.
SeanEette Glider Gives Her Ideas Concern
ing the Talked of Creature.


ing tho Talked of Creature.
The new woman Of the novelist is
merely one Of DR.. Max Nordau's degen-
crates. She is the creation of writer
who is hysterical end degenerate, and
the world takes her as something that
really exists. To be sure, there are plenty
of women with "pasts'' and with
'syearnings,' and there always have
been and probably always will be, but
doubt if any woman outside of an insane
asylum talks the rubbish about spiritual
impacts, tells that ''we are tones OF one
chord,'' and about the 'vile slavery
OF marriage, as do the women OF MISS
Rendered and Mr. Grant Allen. Writers
of this sort do not represent the women
Of the day any moro than the painted
women of the streets represent the Wom-
en Of good society.
the iaundiced writers OF "Ihe yell
low Book" cannot be expected to give
us pictures of healthy lives. Their tastes
run to worm eaten fruit. They have ne-
liking for that which is red with the
hue OF health. They prefer the yellow
hue Of decay. Dr.. Nordau is quite right
when lie calls it disease. The hereines
Of 1.-THE yellow Eool," Of tfDiscords'
and OF "Wreckage'' might have been
taken from Lomproso's study Of the fe-
male offender. Il they exist outside OF
their creators brains, their cases will be
found recorded in scientific studies Of
climinology or in the ordinary police re-
ports.
The now woman as I find her outside
Of Tie pages Of fiction is al Industrious,
healthy minded, healthy bodied young
person, with 8 certain amount Of inde
pendence, who cares more for out Of door
sports than for indoor follies, and who
il she has work to do does it and does
not waste her time in telling about 1t.
Her spirits run bigh over the adventures
Of 80 A Gentleman Of Trance, she laughs
and cries by turns over "Trilby" and
thinks ''The Dolly Dialogues" great
fun, but for ''YeIlow Discords" and the
like she has no use.
am happy to say that little Of the
hysterical literature Of the Gay originates
in this country. 1t is almost entirely Of
English origin. Some Of our younger
writer's have tried their hands at it, but
they do not take to it naturally, and it
is fast going cut Of fashion.
There always will be handful Of
people who like erotica, but I think
there has been turn in the tide which
even at its highest never swamped the
writers Of purer fiction. Rudyard Kip
ling and Mrs. Humphry Ward have
many more readers than Grant Allen
and Mary L. rendered, and in this
country cur writer's of clean fiction are
the most popular. -Jeannette Glider.

Old English Music.

Long before the stream of Norman
minstrel art sacred music was exercis-
ing a beneficial influence. The early
British church possessed sacred music,
but this was gradually driven out before
the onward march Of that new church
music which Augustine brought with
him from Rome CA. D. 597). The Gre
gorian music (evolved by Pope Gregory
out Of the Greek tetrachords and some
existing Ambrosian chants) was heard
and loved wherever Augustine and his
monks built church. By its means a
deep impression was left upon the minds
of those who heard and joined in it, but
it is curious that we miss altogether the
ecclesiastical flavor in the earliest ex-
amples that have come down to us Of
English music during the first quarter
IF the thirteenth century.
The free and uncontrolled secular mu-
sic was tho first to reflect itself in per-
manent manuscrip pit form. Church music
per Sc was not progressive; the church
tones for the "service'' and 'tnlass' mu-
sic were fixed, and only heretical Of
