VENICE HAD FIRST THEATER


The theater proper began In Venice
I'm 1929, when comedy and melodrama,
hitherto presented on temporary
stages erected In the squares or In the
halls of palaces, passed into buildings
especially made for that purpose. Pom
peo Molmenti. the Italian historian. re-
lates that the earliest genuine musical
drama heard in Venice was the Pro-
serpinaarapita of Giulio Strozzi, set to
music by Caudio Montevarde. From
1887 onward theaters rose so rapidly
that by the close Of the Seicento they
numbered 1S In Venice; some were
devoted to comedy, others to music.
others again were used indifferently
for comedy or melOdrama. Almost all
the theaters belonged to nOblemen who
reserved boxes for themselves and
took the rent for the buffet. The Coun-
Gil Of Ten settled the hour OF the per
formance and the length OF time It
might take. The advertisements were
posted at the piazzetta and at Rialto,
while criers went through the town to
announce the play and the hour when
the house would open.

1t is not so very long ago that
South African timber was, taken all
round. considered OF little value. Now
that Imported timber has gone up in
the market, many virtues have been
discovered In the native timber which
previously were unknown. In conse-
quence, South African timber has
come to the front. so that it figures
prominently in many instances. Saw
ing timber, such as Cape pine. poplaF,
yellow wood. blue gum and other va
rieties. cut into standard deals Of
by 8 inches, is quoted at 101z pence
to shilling per foot This timber is
used mostly for boxes and packing
cases. as well as substitutes I'm fhe
mines and buildings for the imported
Baltic woods.

CATS BLUFF CALLED

The story of three men from Tam
pa going and first attempting to in
timidate, then offering a bribe to
Governor Cats, In an effort to have
him call off that special" session of
the legislature, gets under our shirt
the more we think of it. So far, the
governor has not given out the
names of the men making the visit to
his Office and doing this thing. 1t
cannot be but the governor has the
names, for certainly without having
been announced, or their cards being
given to his private secretary, they
could not have gained entrance to
that holy of holies, the private Office
of the chief executive of sovereign
state. Believing therefore that the
governor is merely waiting for later
time to make public their names, we,
in the name of Tampa and all Flor
ida, respectfully call upon the gov
ernor for the names of these hood
lums. And we further declare that
the Tribune will pay $500 each toward
the prosecution of them, or a total of
$500, in order that this dastardly at
tempt to smirch the good name of
the state of Florida may be punished
as it deserves.-Tampa Tribune.
The Tribune's money is safe.

The occurrence of the money cowry
In Iceland and England has a curious
origin. This species, a native OF the
tropics, is used as current coin I'm GER
tain, parts Of Africa. Some years ago
1t was very abundant on the coast OF
Cumberland near the mouth of the
Calder river. The specimens are be-
lieved to have come from the Glen
dowra, vessel wrecked or Seascale
in fog in 1873. She was homeward
bound from Mamma and carried 60 tons
of cowries as part of her cargo. AS
this means about 10000 900 shells, IL
may well be that money eowries win
be picked up on our northwestern
coasts for many years to come. Those
found earlier on the coasts OF Down.
Ireland. were supposed to have come
from a slave ship wrecked In the neigh
borhood.

LIFE HOLDS NOTHING BETTER
Man That Has contentment in His
Heart Need Seek No Further
for Happiness.

Discomfort with his lot in life is
the great curse of the man OF ordinary
estate in this world. To have the
things that are beyond his reach con-
sumes him with ceaseless fire. Such
men. as a rule. have enough and TO
spare. but this does not seem TO sat
isfy them. If they would only deter
mine to be content with what they
have they would be happy.
The consequence is that they make
a dismal failure of a life that could
easily have been a great success as
far as their happiness is involved.
And. without happiness 1T were better
that man had not lived at all.
Then we have the man who has all
the wealth and power and maybe all
the glory that he Graves, but who is
in constant fear that 1t will be taken
away from him; that he viii lose his
worldly possessions or that somebody
viii rob him OF the limelight.
Contentment never sleeps under the
roof of such a man. Wherefore, Of
what good to him Is all that he hasf
Now, If the man who wants that
which is beyond his reach could school
himself TO be like Paul, content IN
whatsoever state" he found himself,
he would get things out OF life that
he never dreamed OF. He would sleep
soundly and awake I'm gladness. And
If the man who has all the wealth he
had craved could school himself to
feel that 1t wouldn't matter If he
were to lose IL all. he would also sleep
soundly and awake In gladness-
Who among us that would wish to
go through life and miss the biggest
thing there is In life3 Well, the least
man on earth can have that big thing
for his very own simply by motion
OF the mind that God gave him when
he was born.
The big thing in life--its name Is
Contentment. 1t lies at your feet.
Take it mp and let it warm you
