Now Brought to Light

Missing for Nearly Four Centuries and
Now Brought to Light.
Some excavations carried cut in the
catacombs, at the expense Of Cardinal
Koop, bishop of Breslau, and cspe-
2ially under the high altar and choir
Of the Church Of 81. Agnace Without
the Walls, from which his cmincnce
takes his title, have resulted in the
discovery Of the body Of St. Agnes,
one Of the most interesting figures
among the Christians of Rome. Ac-
eording TO tradition she was young
girl who suffered martyrdom rather
than sacrifice to the gods or accept a
husband in one Of the prosecutions OF
the fourth century-probably that Of
Diocletion. About the year 1000 the
caskct containing her body was found
on marble slab in subteTanear
vault under the church, and was re
inclos.ed by Pope Paul Y. in a silvei
case This case, with its contents
after being missing for nearly fou
centuries, has again been brought t,

man will remember that Agnes is on

entitled "Fsbiola," which illustrate

Oriental Room Not Expensive.


According to an authority, the fitting
up OF an oriental room or a cozy corner
does not necessarily require the ex.
pendfture Of a small fortune, although
thousands can easily be expended il
Thousands are available for the pur-
pose. But there are reasonable priced
materials that are used with excellent
effect in the adornment OF a Moorish
or whatever style Of room is desired.
and 1t is to be noted that the arrange
ment OF these drapcries is more simple
than formerly, and therefore the ma
terials are not so apt to prove dust
traps. An advantage in the cotton
goods is TINT they can be easily clean
ed, and IL dmped artistically the effect
is as good as if the more costly mate
rial had been employed. The arrange
ment of light is one of the Important
adjuncts In connection with the fitting
up of an oriental room. and. whatever
be the method employed. the light
