Analysis of Roman funeral rites and of the

as the Republican epoch, and inquiry into the
origin OF the objects which formed the essence
of early Roman home life, are beginning to open
Vaster horizons to our view, and to disclose the
religious idea of the Italic folk who founded
Rome. Their pantheism afforded them the con-

brides placed a coin on the fire of the nuptial

WOMAN,s PERFECT AGE.

1t was Thackeray who decided that the age
of the Venus of Milo was thirty-two. This
may take expert authority, and so regard
thirty-two as the era when a woman is at her
perfect moment of full bloom. Certainly, it
would seem that from this on to forty the
years when she is most apt to feel and to inspire
great love. Some one has announced that Cleo
patra was thirtyeight when she and Anthony
kissed away Kingdoms and some one else has
declared that Helen of Troy was nearly forty
when Paris was smtten with her beauty and
embroiled the gods and heroes in battle And
as these two ladies have a reputation for
Effectiveness unequalled since Eve gave ear to
the serpent, we may take it that the age of
charm is nearer the days of Indian summer
than the days of spring buds and young leaves.

Next Friday evening the Ed. An
drews Opera Company will appear
at the opera house in Martha, or
the Fair at Richmond This
opera, which is considered Flotow S
masterpiece, has been especially
arranged with new libretto for the
Andrews Opera Company, written
by Broadhurst, the well-known au-
thor of what Happened to JONES'"
ETC., and this libretto is said to be
the best ever given in conjunction
with Martha. The cast includes
Ed. Andrews, himself, Jay G. Tay-
or, the great lyric tenor, Ralph
Riggs, Florence Clayton, Nellie
Andrews and Katherine Lee. The
musical conductor is Chas. D. Haz-
elrigg, which latter fact in itself is
a guarantee for a perfect musical
production. The prices will range
at Is, 30 and 25 cents, and this will
give everybody chance to hear
famous opera sung by great singers
at reasonable prices. The company
only stays for this one night.

there was creak. crash, a united
