SUB ROSA" IMPLIES SECRECY
Term Had Its Origin Long Ago in a
Plot Which Involved Existence
of Sparta.

The origin of the phrase sub rosa,
under the rose" implies secrecy, and
had its origin in the year AT B. c., at
which time P%ausanias, the commander
of the confederate fleet of the Spar
tans and A~thenians, was engaged In
intrigues with Xerxes for the subju-
CATION of Greece to the Persian rule,
and for the hand of the monarch's
daughter in marriage. The negotia-
lions were carried on in a building
attached to the temple If Minerva,
called the Brazen house, the roof Of
which was a garden forming a bower
of roses; so that the plot, which was
conducted with the utmost secrecy,
was literally matured under the roses.
P~ausanias, however, was betrayed by
one of his emissaries, who, by a pre-
concerted plan with the o~verseers and
counselors of state, FIVE in number,
gave them a secret opportunity to
hear from the lips Of Pausanias the
Acknowledgements of his treason. To
escape arrest, he fled to the temple
Of Minerva, and as the sanctity of the
place forbade lntrusi' m, the people
walled up the editice so that he might
die of starvation.

CITY IN BEAUTIFUL SETTING
Fail to Impress Even the Most
Satiated Globe Trotter.

However many descriptions of Con-
stantinople may have been read or
heard previously. the actual sight of
1t must certainly come to every one
with a feeling almost of establishment
at the sheer beauty of the place.
Certainly 1t "a be a matter of sur-
prise to no inc that Constantine chose
Byzantium as the spot from which to
rule the East, for surely no city ever
had a more magnificent situation.
Whether seer from the deck of the
steamer, as it nears Constantinople,
coming up from the sea of Mamora,
or from the head of the Golden Horn,
or from the heights of Pera opposite,
or ven from the Galata bridge, SIAM
boul, rising from the brilliantly blue
waters which surround it on three
sides, must always take first place for
loneliness among all the beautiful
cities of the world. In May, when all
the Judas trees are 4 mass of pinkish
blossom and the wistaria hangs in
pendant pale mauve masses above the
narrow streets between the old wood
en- houses, STEAMBOAT is perhaps beauti-
full above all months in the year.
