CT musical recitation and the chanting
of the Gospel relating these events
has been followed,and even as early as
the fourth century we find the begin

something approaching the oratorio
form.

man composers produced settings OF
the Passion an5, abandoning the
strict ecclesiastical forms of the ltai-
ians, gave to the Gospel narratives
greater freedom of expression, de-
ge!oped the solo elements of the vari-
Gus participants, and introduced the
elements of the populace, or the con-
templative multitude, by utilizing the
chorales which were to he sung by the
congregation.

PROTEST AGAINST UNION LABOR
In Construction of New Thayer BockReady to Drive Filing Work Cottage For Mrs. Helen B. P. Huntington Changes at Tire Shop.

The pile driver for work on the new Thayer building on Franklin square has arrived and is being put into shape for driving the 300 piles which will be needed to support the foundations. The piles are to be 25 to 30 feet long with F inch butts and inch points, They will be of white oak. William Cook of Mohe gan has the piles all ready for de- livery as soon as they are needed.
 Thames Union, U. B. of c. and J. of A, is protesting against the erec- ton of the building by non-union la bor and two union carpenters were called off the job. Mr. Young has 30 men in his employ and has had these men with him for a year and q. half. Stone masons and carpenters alike re- ceive $3 a day for 4S hour week while local union regulations call for $344 day with A hour week. The union takes the stand that MT. Young will be unable to fill the contract through inability to secure materials for non union job. The contractor takes the stand that his men are not employed as skilled laborers, as they are put to work on various kinds of jobs. He says that when he needs specially trained men he will pay for trained labor but that his employees are not strictly skilled. He has men enough now and can get more when he needs them.

ToIstoi,s Handwriting.

In the Revue de Paris Count Ellie Tolstoy describes his mothers eXperi- ences as his fathers amanuensis:
 Being very short sighted, my moth- CT had to bring her eyes close to the paper to decipher my fathers fright ful scrakL The work often took her the whole evening and kept her busy long after the rest of the household had gone to bed. When she found a passage which has quite illegible she used to go to papa and ask ham to ex- plain it. But that seldom happened, for she was very reluctant to disturb him. When she did so he took the manuscript from her and asked with evident irritation: ''Well2" What is it that you can't understand? Then he began to read it himself. but when he arrived at the puzzling passage he was invariably pulled up and had the greatest difficulty in even guessing what he had written.."
 Count Ellie Tolstoy adds that while the spelling was often very bad, the countess never failed to put it right.
