WHY WE DO THINGS.
Ancient and Curious Origin of Sontc
Familiar Customs.
It Is surprising what a number of little
things wo do without knowing tho reason,
eays the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Why, for Instance, do widows wear
caps? Perhaps you may say because they
make them look pretty and Interesting.
But the real reason Is that, when the Ro
mans were In England, they shaved their
heads as a sign of mourning. Of course,
a woman couldn't let herself be seen with
a bald head, so sho made herself a pretty
cap. And now, though the( necessity of
wearing It has passed away, the cap re
mains. Why do we have bows on the loft side
of our hats? In olden times, when men
wore much in the open air, and bats
couldnt be bought for half a dollar, it
was the habit to tie a cord around the
crown and let the ends fall on the left
side, to be grasped on the arising of a
squall. They fell on the left side, so
they might be grasped by the left hand,
the right usually beins more usefully en
gaged. Later on, the ends got to be tied
In a bow, and later still, they became use
less, yet the bow has remained, and will
probably remain till the next deluge, or
something of that sort.
What Is tho meaning of the crosses or
Xs on a barrel of beer? They sisnifv de
grees of quality nowadaj-s. But originally
they were put on by ancient monks as a
sort of trademark. They were crosses in
those days, and meant a sort of oath on
the cross swdrn by the manufacturer, that
his barrel contained good liquor.
Why are bells tolled for the dead? This
has become so familiar a practice that a
funeral without It would appear unchris
tian. Yet the reason Is quite barbarous.
Bells were tolled Ions ago, when people
were being buried. In order to frighten
away the evil spirits who live In the air.
Why do fair ladles break a bottle of
wine on the ship they are christening?
Merely another survival of barbaric cus
tom. In the days of sacrifice to the gods
It was customary to get some poor victim,
when a boat was being launched, and to
cut his throat over the prow, so that his
Wood baptized it.
Why are dignitaries deafened by a sa
lute when they visit a foreign port? It
seems a curious sort of welcome, this
firing off of guns, but the custom arose
in a very reasonable way. Originally a
town or a warship fired off guns on the
approach of important and friendly
strangers, to show that they had such
faith in the visitors' peaceful Intentions
they didn't think it necessary to keep
their guns loaded.
Why do we sometimes throw a shoe af
ter a bride? The reason is not very com
plimentary. From of old It has been the
habit of mothers to chastise their chil
dren with a shoe. Hence the custom arose
of the father of a bride making a present
to the bridegroom of a shoe, as a sign
that It was to be his right to keep her In
order.
"Woman' "Wit.
The parson victim -was to less of sleep,
HIh nlrhts no sweet repose did e'er secure
him,
No known hypnotic would his senses steep.
Nor could the doctors, with their science, cur
him.
Matmge and anltariums he'd tried.
And taken lethean waters without number.
Yet still unto his longings was denied
The blessed comfort of refreshing lumber.
He crew more wand-llke day by dar, and

ition. "When, lo! some influence In mercy sends
Sweet sleep unto his couch on balmy mission.
What wonder wrought relief, you ask? His
wife.
"With that quick wit which woman's way de
termines. Had hit upon the means to ave his life,
And stuffed hla pillow with the good man's
sermons.

She Will Sine, In Costnme, Fonrth
Act of Verdi's "II Trovatore"
Her Capable Support.
Madame Sofia Scalchl. who will sing at
the Marquam Grand tomorrow night, has
been called the world's greatest contralto,
not only among the living, but the great
est of whom there Is any record. This Is
a sweeping assertion. Be this as It may,
no compeer of hers has been classed with
Mme. Scalchl. For many seasons she
shared honors with Adellna Pattl, and
often created more enthusiasm than did.

of sweetness of voice. Scalchl easily sur

critics was thought to excel the lighter
voice of Pattl in fiorlture.
Scalchl's European triumphs have been
many and varied. She has added pleasure
to many opera seasons In London, St.
Petersburg, Paris and Milan. She Is. per
haps, the best living example o'f the strict
ly Italian method of vocalization, and her
singing is a refutation of the theory ad
vanced by some, that there should be no
such thing as a chest register. For these
reasons, her appearance in this city will
be greatly enjoyed by Portland musical
students. There is a peculiar liquid
beauty and resonance in Bcalchl's mezzo
tones that everybody has praised, and this
sweetness of voice, added to her dra
matic power upon the operatic stage,
makes her irresistible.
Most of the Portland patrons of high
class music remember the visit of Mme.
Scalchl to this city two years 'ago, when
her success at the Marquam was very
marked and flattering. She will sing to
morrow In operatic f estlval gems, arid will
give, in costume, the fourth act from
Verdi's "II Trovatore."
Mme. Scalchl Is supported by the great
lyric soprano, Mme. Pasquall; Slgn6r Lo
Verdi, the pianist, and SIgnor Frances
chetti, baritone.
RBHEARSIXG A FALL.
Keith "Wakeman Preparing Cnrse
Scene in "Danclnc Girl."
Miss Keith Wakeman, the tall and dis

pany, has been practicing falling down
stairs at -Cordray's Theater. It is no easy

matter for a young woman of Miss Wake
man's build to .fall down stairs, night
after night, without Injury to herself, and
If any one fancies that it is why, let
them try it.
The fall that Miss Wakeman Is rehears
ing occurs In "The Dancing Girl." which
is to be given this week, on Tuesday and
Wednesday nights. The scene occurs at
the close of the third act of Henry Ar
thur Jones well-known drama. Druscllla
Ives, the dancing girl. Is about to break
with the Duke of Guiseburj a profligate
nobleman, and who has given a swell
dinner in honor of his farewell to hla
mistress and the world. Drusollla has
Just left the dancing-room and Is about
to descend the large stairway. She sees
below her her Quaker father, who has
come to London in search of his daughter
.SfJSSTSr - S Lima ST
! leading and return to Endelllon with him.
A stormy scene ensues. In which she re
fuses to obey her father, and defies him.
The stern old Quaker then denounces
her. and pronounces a curse upon her,
the like of which has seldom. If ever,
been heard in real life, or upon the stage.
The daughter stands at the head of tho
stairs, the father at the bottom. As the
father finishes his awful denunciation and
departs In the haste of anger. Druscllla,
in the emrtlon of the moment, and Bwayed
by terror Inspired by her father's curse,
physically collapses. She staggers for a
moment, and then falls to the stairs, In a
partial swoon, and rolls the whole length
of the stairs to the bottom. '
It Is this fall that Miss Wakeman has
been rehearsing. The sensation it cre
ates with the audience Is only equaled by
that caused by the great belfry scene in
"The Heart of Maryland."
"OUR. ARCTIC EMPIRE."
Joaquin Miller's Lecture at First
Baptist Church Tomorrow.
Tomorrow evening, at the First Baptist
Church, Portland people will have the op
portunity of hearing Joaquin Miller In
his descriptive lecture, "Our Arctic Em
pire," with a prelude on "Lessons Not
Found in Books."
As a poet and writer, Mr. Miller stands
among the first In this country. Who
can ever forget the inspiration In such
lines as those written to Mount Shasta?
I stood where thunderbolts were wont
To smite th3" Titan fashioned front;
I heard huge mountains rock and roll;
I saw the lightning's gleaming rod
Beach forth and write on heaven's, scroll
The awful autograph of God.
Young In heart as ever, and with an
appreciation that encompasses every form
of beauty, this kindly gentleman unfolds
the lessons not to be found In books, re
cites poems with exquisite grace and deli
cacy, and then plunges with hearty en
joyment Into a description of his recent
experiences In the Alaska gold fields.
TAXGLEFOOT OX THE BRAIX.
Asplrinfc Dramatist's Expensive
Property List Lost Him Favor.
Mr. James Nelll, of the Nelll Company,
accorded an aspiring dramatist recently
In Los Angeles, Cal.. an interview at tho
Van Nuys Hotel. He had not been In
formed that the aspirant had been under
the constant Influence of Intoxicants for
two years, and that his memory was
thereby slightly Impaired. In the midst
of the Interview the dramatist begged to
be excused for a moment while he tele-
j phoned an apology to a friend. The con-
I versatlon was as follows:
"Hello, central! Central! Gimme Main
J, 032. Hello! Ish that Main 632? Is Fred
erick Shones there? Hello. Mlshter
Shones! I wish to apologize for not keep
ing my appointment to dine wish you
J iasht evening. What? I did dine wish
you? We drank 10 bottles? Ish that so?
Hello, central! Ring off!"
I Mr. Nelll did not accept the young man's
play, for several reasons, one of which
I was that he thought the property list
would be too expensive, as It called for
three cases of real champagne In the first
act, IS Manhattan cocktails In the sec
ond, and four rum punches In the third.
