APPLAUSE IN OLD ROME.
Approval Sd own in Many Dafferen,
WAYS.

From some relics which have just
been uneagthed at Ponpeii the inter-
esting discovery has been made that
ID theater- goers in old Rome were
moro punctlious in the matter Of ap
pause than we moderns a.e, says the
Baltimore Herald. If they approved OF
play or an acsor's performance they
testified their approval openly, buJ in
such a manner as to snow the exact
amount of qualification which the per-
Torrance had afforded them. In other
words, they were guided by rigid rules
in the matter. and so well We're these
rules known that every actor could tell
at once whether he was really making
hit with the public or was playing
to an audiance that failed to appre-
ciate even his best efforts.
When such theatergoers were fairly
well satisfied with a play they APP
plauded by swapping with the thumb
and middle finger Ii they wanted The
actors to understand that they were
really satisfied with the performance
they clapped loudly by beating the
left hand on the right Only the tiu-
gers of the left hand were brought into
play on occasions, and the sound was
as If two earthern vessels had been
knocked together A more hearty
token OF approval was given by strik-
ing the fat palms Of the hand against
each other A still more marked token
Of pleasure was Curving the hands
and then striking them hard against
each other. Az times, however. there
was an occasion when even these
methods OF testilying APPROVAL would
be insufficient to express the pupulas
delight. Ii became the custom on
every occasion for an persons IA the
audience to applaud by waving q
corner of their togas or robes IN the
direction Of the stage, The people o.
the lower class a. Rome were not
privileged 70 wear togas, but the Eu
peror Aurelian permitted them when
ever they went 10 a theater 70 carry a
piece of cloth, SO that II The play
proved an extraordinary success they
might be able to testify their approval
In the recognized fashion.

In the world which women may

good for everyone, but particularly
for women The various weak
nesses which afflict their delicate or
ganism spring from Inflammation or
catarrh of the mucous lining, and Pe-ru-na
is specific for catarrh in any organ of
the body. Any congestion of a mucous
