UNIVERSITY CENTER.

| A<oSe aCcody CNCniuk TIC Gas
bagan the study of Greek Litera
ture, which is the starting point o
all European literature, and hal
furnished the choicest models TO
the world.
| The leader called out the fact tina
the literature of every people began
with poetry and not prose. Tn,
cause of this truth was found in tn,
fact that the imagination of a ma
ton. as in mankind, is more activ,
in youth than in advanced life. Tn,
Predominance of Judgment and tn,
reason renders literature NOR,
prosaic.
The natural order in the develop
ment of Grecian Literature wal
found to be first, epic poetry, ther
lyric poetry. after which came tn,
drama, history, oratory and philos
ophy. Homer was considered the
father of epic poetry and his lilac
and Odyssey the models, or stan
dard. Choice extracts from both
Had and Odyssey by each member
of the class were read and their
beauties pointed out.
Hesiod wrote about a century
later. He was an epic poet of Boo
tia and received his poetical in
SEPARATION while feeding his fathers
sheep on the mountain. Homer was
a composer for kings, and Hesiod
for peasants.
Lyric poetry was next examined
and the class spent some time with
Sappho. OF all the females that ev
er cultivated the poetic art they
learned that she was certainly the
most eminent Scion, the great law
giver, who was contemporary with
the Lesbian poetess, upon hearing
his nephew recite one of her poems
said that he would not willingly
die until he had learned il BY
heart" Indeed, the whole voice Of
antiquity has declared that the pc
etry of Sappho was unrivaied in
grace and sweetness.
The last subject of the evening
was the drama. Here they frs
looked into the Attic Theatre, where
the spectators were seated on semi
circular tiers scooped out of the
rock of the Acropolis. In America
a theatre that will seat two or three
thousand is considered large the
atre, but in Athens the theatre
would saot .0nO0 ,,.1 ,t,a -:.t...
work of the sculptor was found in
every part and as the theatre was
open over head, in sight of the spec
tators was the sea and the Parthe
non, the finest work of architecture
the world has ever witnessed, orna
tnented by the skill and workman
ship of a Phidias. In that theatre
they began the study of the great
dramatists of ancient Grease and
first came Aeschylus who was moi
only a great poet. but a grea,
man. He was on the battle field ot
Marathon with the ten thousand
and early won laurals for bravery
later he and his younger brother
were at the battle of Salamis In
which they took an active part and
the following year at Platace. Thus
twice he saw the Persians driven
from his native land. In his plays
with the grasp of an intellectual
giant, he seiezed some of the grand
est problems offered to man and
without a true God or Savior gave
them a solution full of both. His
life is deeply interesting and i'm.
structive. *.s

TERRIBLE HOME COMING.
Found His Wife Burned to Death and
His Child Nearly Dead.

GRASS VALLEY, Cal, Jan s-When
Paul Birch. who lives on the Colfax road,
sixteen niles distant. returned home this
evening after an absence of twenty-four
hours at the mines. he found his house
In darkness. A search revealed the dead
body OF his wife fifty feet from the cot
tage. Every vestige of clothes had been
burned from the woman's body, only her
shoes remaining. The lower portion OF
the body had been burned TO a crisp her
legs being twisted into peculiar shapes
by the heat. Her face and head were
not badly burned. but they might as well
have been. Tor they had been furnishing
food for the coyotes. The head was
torn and presented a terrible sight.
Search was next made for Birch's four
year-old child. Ii was found in its
cradle. almost naked, with its hea5 bad
~ burned and chilled through from ex-
posure. as the woman In rushing out of
the building had left the doors wide open.
1t is doubtful If he will life.
1t Is believed Mrs. Birch was starting
a fire in the fireplace and in doing so
caught her dress in the fire. enveloping
her in flames, and in her frantic efforts
she probably threw a piece OF her burn
ing dress on the baby's head
Appearances indicated that she had
rolled on the ground several times in an
effort 10 smother the flames. when she
finally lost her strength and conscious
ness and was burned 10 death.
