Bachelor, spinsterhood. a slow life: matrimonial life, which is suspend ed animation; and the Reno electric life, a spicy variety composed of al ternating currents of the married and single kinds. The butterfly life is the gay one, nut It is too short, the tortoise life is longer, but is too slow, and if you try to strike a safe and sane gait in the middle of the road, you got run over by some joy rider going the pace that kills—such as you. Life is the most necessary thing in the world—you simply cannot live is as uncertain and dimrult to control as dynamite, or a woman. Too much life will land you in jail, and too little in a coffin. High life is dangerous, as one’s aeioplane may have a “brainstorm” at and minute or altitude, and there is no longer much enjoyment in low lire on account of the settlement workers and slumming parties. Ap parently the only escape from bour geois diiiincsr, is lo marry as often as possible; and there is always dan ger of falling in love with j'our wife and settling down to a duckpond placidity.—Times Dispatch.

The Idea of the opera may in part have arisen from the Greek drama, which possessed, to a considerable extent, the operatic character; the choral parts were sung, and the dia logue delivered In a sustained key, probabl.v resembling operatic recita tive more than ordinary speech. As early as the 14th century there were Oprtjxijx nrrvHiio+trxrvo cr\TT%r' a way, resemble what we know today as oiiera. What is generally recognized as the first real operatic composition, was presented in Florence. Italy, on Decem ber ].Sth, 1597, and was called “Dafne.” The libretto w'as written by the poet, Caccini, which was set to music by Peri. The same poet and composer conjointly produced “The Death of Euridice” the folow^ing year. This sec ond opera was given on October 6th, 1600, upon the occasion of the mar riage of Maria de Medici to Henry VI of France. The French nation claims to ante date the Italian opera, and name 15S2 a;' the date, but are aljle to give noth ing to substantiate their claim. Ger many makes no claim of precedence over Italy, but is w'illing to share with that country the introduction at about the same time, of opera in their coun try. Mozart was the first composer of op eras for the modern orchestra. The Italian opera was introduced into Paris In 1646, by Cardinal Mazarin, and superseded in 1670, w'as revived in the beginning of the last century, and has since flourished side by side with the national opera of France. The possibility of opera in English seems first to have been shown by Purcell. His mu&ic to Dryden’s “King Arthur’’ is very beautiful, though kept throughout subordinated to the busi ness of the drama. “Ths Beggar’s Op era,” as set to music by Dr. Pepusch, was a selection of the airs most popu lar at the time, and retained its place on the stage for a long period. The importation of the Italian opera put a srtop, for a time at least, to the hirtbcr development of an opera in England. In 1710, “Almahide,” in Ital ian, w>^as performed exclusively by Italian singers at the Tiaymarket thea tre, and a succession of attempts of the kind ended in the permanent estab lishment of the Italian opera. Grand opera In America was found ed in New Orleans close to half a cen tury before it was heard in New' York. Philadelphia. Boston and Chicago, the present centres of opera in thi& coim- try. The introduction of opera in Amer ica took place in 1790, when Davis, a Trench refugee from Santo Domingo, landed in New Orleans and offered op era in the Theatre d’Orleans. Soon the news of the sucess of the ven ture w'as carried to France, and, as at that time operatic art was almost at a standstill in Paris, owing to the up heaval of the French revolution, many of the greatest singers of the day em barked in sailing vessels, and, after braving storms and seasickness, land ed in New Orleans, w^here they were paid handsome alaries for singing. In 1835 a home for opera was built in the Crescent City, and this was “Foot-Fltters.” LADIES If You Need a Pair Shoes to '‘Bridgs’ Over Till Oxford Time, See Our Line at $2.50 the pair These Come In Patent—Gun Metal— and Vici Kid—Button and Lace.
