Ono day I wan walking on Adams street, I

proprietor. But it hit tho mark. 'Yes,' said
tho woman, sotting down her bosket and
looking as tickled as could be, 'that was me.'
'That was about let mo see about twenty

Tho furniture of tho Catacombs Is instruc
tive and interesting, but most of it has been
removed to churches nnd musoums, and must
bo studied outside. Articles of ornament,
rings, seals, bracelets, necklaces, mirrors,
took picks, car picks, buckles, brooches, rnro
coins, innumerable lamps of clay (terra cotta)
or of bronze (oven of silver and amber) oil
sorts of tools, nnd in tho caso of children a
variety of playthings wero Inclosed with tho
dead. Many of theso articles aro carved with
tho monogram of Christ or with other
Christian symbols. (Tho lamps in Jewish
comotcries generally boar a picture of tho
golden candlestick.)
A great number of flasks and cups, with or
without ornumontAtion, aro also found,
mostly outsldo of tho graves and fastened to
tho gravo lids. Theso wero formerly sup
posed to havo been receptacles for tears, or,
from tho red, dried sediment In them, for tho
blood of martyrs. But later archa!ol'sts
consider them drinking vessels used iu tho
Rgapai and oblations. A superstitious habit
prevailed iu tho Fourth century, although
condemned by a council of Carthago (307) to
to givo to tho dead tho euchnristlo wlno, or
to put n cup with tho consecrated wlno iuto
tho gravo.
Tho instruments of torturo which tho fcr
tilo imagination of credulous icoplo had dis
covered, and which wero mado to provo that
almost every Christian burled in tho Cata
combs was a martyr, aro simply implements
of handicraft. Tho instinct of nature prompts
tho bereaved to deposit in tho graves of tbolr
kindred and friends thoso things which wero
constantly used by them. Tho Idea prevailed
also, to n largo extent, that tho futuro llf
was a continuation of tho occupations and
amusements of tho present, but froo from sin
and imperfection.
