Grecian Art. Literature and Architecture

Grecian Art, Literature and Architecture
Studied Under Favorable Surroundings.
Amid the historic ruins Of ancient
Athens and in the very locality where
once lived the fathers Of the classics is
located the American School of Classic
Studies, which has just been granted
some important concessions by the Gre
clan government. The present school is
an offshoot of the American Institute of
Archaeology, under whose auspices it
was founded in 1884. For the first five
years of it's existence the school had its
headquarters in a hired house near the
ruins Of the Olympium. The Greek gov
eminent, however, in 1887 gave to the
school a plot Of land on the southern
slope of Mount Lycabettus, which is in
the suburbs Of the modern city of Ath-
ems. Here a substantial three story stone
building was put up, and it has been
occupied since 1888.
The American school is mainly sup
ported by an association of the principal
colleges in this country, and in return
for an annual subscription Of $3.50 each
college is entitled to send one graduate,

During the first part of the play on
the last night one of the Roman soldiers
stood in the wings holding his helmet
in his hand. He was approached by
Miss Nellie Holt, who was one of the
Naiad chorus. Miss Holt is one of the
prettest aud most popular of Nashuas
society young women. She is hand
some and vivacious blonde of 90.
As she approached the Roman soldier,
who is senior in the high school, she
gave his helmet naughty kick. Instant
ly she was surrounded by the other Is Ro-
mans and all ctamored for more. She was
good natured and sccomm odated them.
Gradually the helmet was raised from
height of two feet to four: each time the
kicker saw the raise and left the imprint
of her pretty little foot in the crown of
the headpiece.
At last flushed with her success Miss
Holt told the soldier to put the helmet
his head. He did so. There was fash
of lace and things,a dainty foot shot into
the air and away went the helmet up into
the flies.

though his audience expected him to
severely dsnounce Gov Morrill, and his
administration he reserved all his re-
marks on that subject to the last. He
spoke of the common statement that the
Germans ia Germany do not drink to ex-

said it he emphasized his words by
shutting his Bible quickly in way that
caused all in the audience to smile.
