If the orchestra rarely develops large. and inspired symphonic themes, its comment is always distinct. The prayer of the Vestal Rubria in the first act is an ex quisite peice of music. in the ⚫ second act there is an impressive duct between Nero and Asteria, a Roman woman who loves him..
The third act is by far the best, both for the simplicity of its con Struction and the human appeal of

Immigrants from Hebrides.
In a few years all of the in- habitants of the Hebrides islands, off the coast of Scotland, will have come to Canada was the prediction made by the first party of them, 200 in number, on landing at St. John, New Brunswick.
The climate is changing there, they said, and the last few years they have had either poor crops or none at all. Help was called for in raid-winter to keep some 30,000 people from starving, The islands are rocky and poor, and the main industry has been razing, and caring for summer tourists. Total inhabitants are about 10,000, liv- ing on 120 of the 500 islands. Tracing Names of Products.",
