THE SOCIAL JAPANESE.
1helr Theaters. Dramatic rerformancea
and stage and scenic Effects.

Iholr Theaters, Dramatic Performances
and Stage and Scenic Effects.
The Japanese are an essentially social and
actiys minded race, much resembling tho
Peloponnesian Greeks Of old times. When
not employed In study, commerce or ngrt-
culture, they seldom appear content NJ
lounge away their leisure, but want 70
enjoy themselves definitely and In society.
Everywhere the traveller comes across pic
mic parties, water parties, dinner and tea
parties; gardens, tea houses, temples, all
offer facilities for merrymaking, and the
company caLnot be accused on such occa-
sions Of taking its pleasure sadly, for every
member thereof Is chattering, laughing,
singing and doing his or her best to make
matters 60 of cheerily.
Among the favorite entertainments OF
the populace, dramatic performances have
always held high place, and a great ac-
tor is fully ns much appreciated among
the Japanese as among ourselves. we had
an opportunity OF seeing Danjolo, COM
monty called the "Irving OF Japan, :" IN
one of his principal characters. Inc
building In which the performance took
place, though built of wood and slightly
decorated, is, in many respects, not unlike
a good sized London theater. The floor OF
boxes, in which kneel the audience, men,
women and children. From the main en-
trance to the stage runs gnngway, some
what elevated above the floor. This Is
called the fowery path and serves not
only as a means OF access to the boxes on
either side, but also as 6n approach by
which some Of the principal actors makea
sensational entrance on tho scene.
Isyrt1 Tod ka
terre, runs around three sides OF the house
and is reached from an outside balcony.
European spectators taking seats in the
gallery are accommodated with chairs.
The main difference between an English
and u Japanese stage lies in the fact that
the whole of the center part OF the latter,
which is of considerable size, is round and
turns on pivot.
The scenery runs across the diameter Of
tho reversible part; SO while one scene is
before the audience another is being set
behind, and when wanted is simply wheel
cd around to the front. This certainly
saves great deal Of time and scene shift
ing, but might be difficult to manage with
the very elaborate adornments demanded
by a modern European public. japanese
scenery is sufficient and historically cor
rect, and for indoor scenes, at least, far
less furniture is required than with us to
truthfully represent u native interior.
To remove the impedimenta at the sides,
or anything which has to be taken away
during the progress of scene, little black
figures, with black wells over their faces,
like familiars of the Inquisition, come in
and are supposed to be invisible. Japan

Nothing New.

A collection of skulls found in Peru and
now at Washington illustrates prehistoric
trephning. The skulls prove that the
trsphining was done by skilled surgeons to
relieve fractures and disorders from such
injuries. The success which must have
attended most Of the operations is consid-
cred remarkable, in view of the fact that
even at the present day trephining is re-
gardcd as one of the most difficult of SUR
gical operations. ns.-New York Sun.

troleum-.re6ned- "coal OIL" This
is done primarily because of the general
impression that the oil comes from coal,
and that coal is of vegetable origin.
Biologists and scientists 10 general, how
ever, take a different view of the matter.
To lem the oil is a relic of past geo.
logical ages, as we'll as of animals that
lived when the earth was young. In re.
ferring to the genesis Of local oil" they
never think of 1t except as an animal oil.
They argue that the great upheavals aud
downfalls of the earth's crust, which re.
suited in burying billions of tons of
vegetable matter, which subsequently,
turned to coal, also covered millions of
gigantic animals with hundreds aud
thousands OF feet of sediment. This
sedimentary deposit, in the ages which
have elapsed since old nature was racked
with those rock-rending commissions
which geologists are so fond of telling US
about, have turned into great strata Of
sandstone, limestone, etc., the oil CON-
pressed from the great aggregation of
animal remains settling IN basins, to be
tapped by the ingenious well-sinkers of
the last half Of the Nineteenth Century.

butte to the welfare and comfort of pres

Hereditary Foes.

The memory of the Pima, nor do his
traditions, run so far back that mortal
enmity with the Apaches did not exist,
The first thing the Pima child is taught
is to hate the Apache, the vsndsl of the
great American desert, and he seldom
forgets his teaching. Though it is not
30 bad now that the Apaches have SUR
rendered to the United States Govern.
ment, still the hatred exists, and when
the opportunity is presented the Pima
heaps all kinds of contumely upon the
heads Of the Apaches.
As is known the ..'imas seldom leave
their valley homes, and as the Apache
are now on the reservation under the
surveillance of troops, it is rarely tina
they meet, though last winter company
of the Apache soldiers were brought
through the city under a United States
officer, Before they had been here ar
hour their old enemies, tire Pimas and
Maricopas, all knew Of it, and by the
middle of the afternoon fully 1000 were
in town to see them. The Apache senti'
mel had been taught enough military
discipline to know that he must not re.
sent the insults heaped upon him by the
Indian onlookers, but it must have been
a hard trial to his wild nature.
Years ago the Apaches and the Pimas
often settled their differences by single
combat or pitched battles, and there is
now one Pima living who killed six
Apaches in one day in single combat
near where the Sacatcn Agency is 10.
Gated. The Pima used his lronwood club,
about two feet in length, aud the
Apaches their spears and war clubs. 1t
is wonderful how skillful these Pinas
are in the use OF their clubs, fencing
with them equal to the exhibition of a
French master of the foils. Phoenix

Cannot Take the Bit.

The chief OF the Kansas City (Mo.)
Fire Department has invented new
bride for horses, the use of which
makes it impossible for the horse to
take the bit between his teeth. It has
no bit to take. it is arranged with a
strap over the horses nose, and a steel
curb under his jaw in such way that
hard pull on the reins make the animal
very uncomfortable indeed. The new
bride works to perfection, it is said, on
a practical test, keeping the horse per-
fectly under control, while giving hun
the minimum of discomfort. One great
advantage of the contrivance is that it
enables the animal to eat aud drink in
comfort without displacing the bridle.-
