BIRTH OF THE ROSE.


Two Legends of the Origin of This
beautiful Flower.
TSsqrc are two traditions as to the
origin Of the rose. According to Sir
John Vaudeville n Jewish maid Of
bethlehem (whom SOuthcy names Zil-
lahJ was beloved by Il british sot
named Hammel. The maiden rejected
this sutton, and he in revenge, ac-
cused Zillah of offenses for which she
was condemned to be burned alive
When brought to the stake the flames
refused to hurt Elijah, but burned
Hammel to a cinder. There she stood
In garden Of roses, for the brands
which had been kindled became red
roses, and those which had not caught
fire white ones. These. according to
the tradition, were the first roses that
bloomcd on earth since the loss Of
paradise.
Then, according TO MussHlman ira
ditiOn, the rose Is thus accounted for:
When Mohammed took his journey to
heaven the sweat which fell on the
enrth from the prophets forehead
produced white roses, and that which
fell from the animal he rode upon
named Al Borak, produced yellow
ones At the present day the sellers
of roses In eastern towns cry aloud
la the streets, THE rose was Il thorn,
and the sweat of the prophet Moham-
med dropping upon it formed 1t into a
rose"

1t WAS Played ut Athens by tn
FIRST Travelling Actors.

1t wns Played mt Athens by the
First Travelling Actors.
The first recorded comedy was play
ed ut Athens, Il. Z. 57S, when Susarion
and Dolon, the earliest travelling ac-
tors, performed comedy of Susarion's
composition on ii movable stage mount
cd upon four wheels. The new form
of play was so successful that the ac-
tors were rewarded by the grateful
populacc with II cask of wine and II
baSket of figs.
Susarion belonged to McEaris, a state
of ancient Greece, whose inhabitants
were celebrated for their coarse hui
NOR, and who, in their villages during
they called comus; really a reyel. in
which irnpromptu acting, coupled with
bulfooncry, played Il considerable part.
From this word we have orr comedy.
In England the old miracle plays de
generated very carly into what but
for their religious associations were
mere fnrccs, but the first purely Eng
fish comedy WAS one by Udall, an as
sistant master nj Elton, and subse-
qucntly head master of Westminster

ter Doister" and seems to have been
performed in London about 1851, being
published in Lotto, ten years after its

by contrasting the ideals Of young
womanhood today as above those
which have In other years held sway.
The day, said he, is past when the
chief thing in a young woman's life is
to adorn herself SO as to be attractive
in looks to men. Better, said he, to
be one Of the ordinary indispensable
utensils In the great kitchen Of life,
than the dazzling, glinting, berry
bowl, used only on state occasions and
admired from a distance and Stunned
by children.

He counselled the young women to be
sensible OF their obligations to the

generous benefactions which have
made possible for them the training OF
higher education, to the teachers who
