ORIGIN OF ORATORIOS
Devised by a Poor Priest aa a Meant
of Coaxing Young to Church.
St. Philip do Wcrl, a Florentine
priest, born In 1515, first Introduced
dramatic services in his oratory. In
order to draw the young or careless
to church he and others who followed
his lend had hymns, psalms and spirit
ual songs or cantatas sung either in
chorus or by a single favorite voice
as ttnccinl attractions.
These pieces were divided into two
parts. Sacred stories or events from
Scripture, written in verse and by
way of dialogue were set to music,
and the first part was performed bo
lore the sermon, which the people
were Induced to stay and hear that
they might not miss the performance
ol the second part.
The subjects in early times were
the "Good Samaritan" and the Prod
igal Son," which by the excellence of
tho composition, the band of instru
ments and tho performance brought
the music of oratory into great re
pute. Afterward any such rendering of
sacred musical drama obtained the
general appellation of "oratorio." The
first oratorio in England was per
formed In Umdon in Lincoln's Inn
theatre In Portugal street In 1732.
Eating in Olden Timet.
The Komans took their meals while
lyin? upon very low couches, and not
until the time of Charlemagne was a
taucl used around which guests were
sciited on cushions, while the table
only made its appearance In the mid
dle ases, bringing with It benches and
backs. The Greeks and Romans ate
trom a kind of porringer. During a
portion of the middle ages, however,
she. s of bread cut round took the
Iu..ce of plates. The spoon is of great
antiquity, and many specimens are In
existiuce that were used by the Egyp
ti.ins so early as thhe seventeenth
century B. (J.
T.io knife, though very old, did not
'o.iiu Into common use as a table uten-'
iiil i:til alter the tenth century. The
I'orlv was absolutely unknown to both
t'j I'll-l,g and 'Romans, appeared only
us a curiosity in the middle ag;s uud
was first used upon the table by Hen
ry III. Drinking cupa-in the middle
aes, made from metal, more or less
precious, according to the owner's
menns naturally date from the remot
est ages.
Where Laundries Are Unknown.
"It's tho oddest thing to me," said
an old sea captain, who for many
yiars was in the China trade, as he
settled himself comfortably back in
his chair and blew a few rings of
Biuolio into the air, "that nine out of
every ten Chinamen who couio to this
sotuitry -opm laundries and engine
!h business which does not exist in
their native land. As every one icnows
the Chinese nt home wear soft cotton
ami woolen garments, according ti
the reason, and there is not a pound
of starch in all China. Stiffly starca
ed clothes are unknown, and the Chi
nese men do not do tho washing as
they do In this country. Neither is
there any regular laundry in the
flowery kingdom. Therefore U if
more than passing strange that Chi
namen should all come to America
and engage In a trade so foreign to
their home industries."
Making Water Gas.
It has been long known that when
'steam Is passed over redhot carbon in
the form of charcoal or coke decompo
sition takes place and a combust
ible gas of high heating power Is pro
duced. A scientific journal throws
some light on the process. When the
water In the form of steam Is passed
over hot carbon the carbon acts as
a reducing agent, exactly as it does
when It is used for the reduction of
metallic oxides, takes up the oxyg.Mi
lo form carbon monoxide, and liber
ates the element with which the oxy
gen was previously combined. In this
case hydrogen, an'tl both the hydrogen
liberated and the carbon monox.de
formed arc combustible gases.
Sciences in Ancient Sharon.
From time immemorial the girdens
in the ancient plain of Sharon, lamnus
for its roses and its oranges, have
been Irrigated with water lifted by
wheels with double rows of buckets,
turned by mules. Modern practical
science now promises to revolutionize
this time-honored method, greatly to
the gain of the gardens and their
owners. A few years ago oil-engines
were Introduced from Germany to
take the place of mules. At first the
innovation made slow progress, but its
advantjges are beginning to be under
stood, and It is believed that the re
cent rapid growth of the orange gar
dens, some of which Include from six
thousand to ten thousand trees, will
stimulate the substitution of engines
lor mules.
i
Mourning in Corea.
Cornins wear full mourning for
their fathers. The dress Is of hemp
cloth, with a hempen girdle. A face
shield Is uwd to show that the wear
er Is a sinner and must not speak
to any one unless addressed. The cos
tume Is retained for three years, the
shield fur three months. This is worn
for a father only; secondary mourning
Is worn for a mother, and no mourn
ing at all for a wife. The hat is of
wicker.
At Gera, Germany, a man who had
had a tooth pulled sud the dentist
for the tooth, the dentist desiring to
keep It on account of Its curious shape
and claiming ownership of it. The
courts decided against the dentist.

Generate Sufficient Heat to Melt Sur
rounding Snow.
The snldnnella or snowboll of the
Alps Is a dainty little plant about
three inches high, bearing two pend
ent-fringed white or riolet bell on
each flower stalk. They may often be
found with the snow still firmly fro
zen round the stem, and the question
naturally arises how did the blos
soms, so much larger in clrcumfor
euro, make their way through T Bot
anists tell us that the plant forms its
flower buds under the snow, and In
the process of breathing evolves to
much heat that the encircling snow
is melted and trickles down the
stalk, round which It frequently
freezes again. Thus gradually a
dome shaped cavity Is formed round
the blossom, and the process Is con
tinued till in many cases they suc
ceed In reaching the surface.
A modified form of the same heat
producing power may be noticed In
the foxglove. On a comparatively
cool day, when little wind Is Btlrrlng,
a thermometer Inserted In the bell
like flowers of a plant growing In h
shady place will frequently register
a temperature one to two degrees
higher than that of surrounding air,
and even more startling results are
obtained from plants In which a
number of snmll flowers are congre
gated together within an outer
sheath or spathe, as In the arums.
Agninst the Kiimmngp Sale.
Medical men are Inclined to make
vnr on the rummage sale as a men
see to health, It having been proved
to be a conveyor of contagious dls-?as'-s.
A more unsanitary device was
never Imagined. The stuff sent to the
rubblih: much of the wearing ap
parel has been resurrected from
trn.Oi hears or unused closets, and 1
of no real use to any one. The dan
cer of lurking germs Is very real,
nnd It seems almost criminally reck
less to expose Innocent children to It,
Women have become so sensible In
their practice of good works that the
riiiinu.i;e sale appears like an anach
ronism. KlcnilU'iiiirr of Piny.
Piny distinguishes the higher from
the lower animals, and It slgutfle
possibility of education. Fishes do
not play at all; the lower mammals
I'Rti hn-dly be taught to play, and
birds are entirely devoid of the in
stinct. But the kitten and the lamb
are essentially playing animals. The
human young, hov ever, are the true
:la;.ers, and In reality It Is play that
develops them Into manhood. "Chil
dren," savs Dr. Hutchinson, "are
born tltttle amorphous bundles of
possibilities and are played Into
shape."
Pul ;ire of King of Warn.
One of the most remarkable build
ings In the world Is the palace of the
King of Slam. It la enclosed In daz
zling white walls over a mile In clr
ei!!:irrenre. Within these walla are
temples, public offices, seraglios, sta
ble for the sacred elephant, accom
modation for one thousand troops,
cavalry, war elephants, and an ar
senal. There Is also a very fine thea
ter, wheye English,- French and Ger
man companies frequently perform
before the Royal household. The
King himself Is extremely fond of
theatricals.
Peat That Burns Like Coal.
Or.mon Is the new pent success. It
Is manufactured In Switzerland. The
peat is dri"d under the influence of
tho electric current and then further
treated so that under the action of
electric cosmose a new compound Is
formed. Recent tests Indicate that It
burns as well as coal, without giv
ing off odor or smoke. The percent
age of ash Is said to be slight and no
trace of sulphur is found In the fuel.
It Is said to be free from all corro
sive Influences on the boilers and
furnaces in which It Is burned.
Courtship in Tibet.
Courtship, as conducted in Tibet,
would scarcely arouse the enthu
siasm of the modern-minded maid.
Bargaining between the suitor and
the father of tho girl goes on for
weeks, without any reference to the
wishes of .he woman. The requisite
price having been paid, she Is led to
the hoiiHe of her husband, where she
Is subjected to a severe beating. In
order properly to humble her spirit,
and made to run round the village
loudly proclaiming the merits and
valor of her husband.
Where Women Rule.
A remnant of the Sovls tribe of
Indians Inhabits the Island of Tlbur
on. In the Gulf of California, and la
ruled entirely by the women. Form
erly the tribe numbered about UVe
thousand, but Is now shrunk to a
few hundred, living a life of almost
complete lsloatlon, and refusing to
Intermarry with any of the Indians
of the mainland. The woman Is mas
ter of the household, and a council
of matrons is at the head, of public
affairs.
A Botanical Clock.
A botalncal clock, a very pretty
flower, has been discovered In the
Isthmus of Tehaun tepee. In the
morning, it Is white, at noon It is
red, and at night blue; and the
changes of color are so regular that
the time of day can be told from the
tint of the flower.
Vray for Inserts Swallowed,
The Tibetans offer dally prayers
for the minute Insects which they
have swallowed inadvertently in their
meat and drink, and the formula in
sures the rebirth of these microbes In
heaven. '

The United States general ugent of
education in Alaska, wrltlug in the
Metropolitan Mugaxlnc of life among
the Eskimos, says lu regard to the wo-
nieu of the tribes: ,
There Is no spechil ceremony among
the Alnskau Eskimos connected with
marriage. If the parties are young, It
Is largely arranged by the parents.
Among some of the tribes the husbund
Joins the w ife's family and Is expected
to limit and llsh for them. If he re
fuses to give his fiithcr-lii-larv the furs
he takes he Is driven out of the house,
and some one else more active and obe
dient In Installed as husband of the girl,
Sometimes n young woman tins In turn
ten or twelve husband before she final
ly settles down to n permanent mar
ried state. Tiuler this condition of
things It Is not strange that the women
become. Indifferent and often untrue to
their husbands. I.ovo ami mutual af
fection have so little to do with tho
marital relation that occasionally bus
bands nud wives are Interchanged.
For Instance. In one of the northern
villages dwelt a family of expert fish
ers and another that was successful at
hunting the reindeer. One year tho
fisherman thought he would like to
hunt reindeer. Finding that his neigh-
Itor would like to try fishing, they ex
changed wives for the summer. Tho
woman who was a good hunter went
off with the Hibernian, and vice versa.
I'pon retnriilnjf home In the fall they
returned to their respective husbands.
Eskimo wives are frequently beaten
by their husbands and sometimes to
escape abuse commit suicide. Occa-
tonally a wife resists and If physically
stronger thrashes the husband. Polyg
amy prevails to a limited extent. Fre
quently the second wife Is looked upon
and treated as a servant in the family,
Among E-iklmos, the same as among
nil uncivilized people, woman's Is a
bard lot, and yet. notwithstanding all
her disadvantages, she has a voice In
both village and family affairs. Tho
husband neither makes an Important
bargain nor plans a trip without con
sulting mid referring to his wife. Large
families of children are the exception;
few have above four. The drudgery of
women Is such that they sometimes de
stroy their offspring, particularly If the
child lie a girl. If a family Is very poor
tbey sometimes give away to childless
neighbors all their children but one.
Thus during childhood a Isiy may pass
from one to another, to be adopted by
several families In turn. Children are
also sold by their parents, the usual
market price of n child being a sealskin
bag of oil or an old suit of clothes.
The children nrg given names of vari
ous animals, bird, fish, sections of coun
try, winds, tides, heavenly bodies, etc.
Sometimes they have as many as six
names. Children are rarely punished.
They generally have their own way
and nre usually treated with great
kindness by their own or foster par
ents.
