THE WORO "MELODRAMA." It Originally Meant a Play In Which M usic Wu Introduced. Nowadays "melodrama" is in general use as denoting a purely sensational play, with an all hilt impossible hero, heroine and villain among the characters represented. Formerly the word kept more closely in its signification to actual derivation. "Melodrama" is compounded of the Greek words melos, a song, and drama, an action, a play, and was applied to two sorts of performances when it first came into use. It signified a play, generally of the romantic school, in which the dialogue was frequently relieved by music, sometimes of an incidental and sometimes of a purely dramatic character. On the strength of his "Pygmalion" J. J. Rousseau is credited with the invention of this style. Some of the so called English operas of the older school, such as the once famous "Beg<rar?9 Opera" and the once popular "No Song, No Supper," are in reality true melodramas. In the second place, "melodrama" was applied to a peculiar kind of theatrical composition in which the action recited his part in an ordinary speaking voice, while the orchestra played a more or less elaborate accompaniment appropriate to the situation and calculated to bring its salient features into the higheat (.possible relief. The merit of the invention of this description of melodrama belongs to George Benda, who used it with striking effect in his "Ariadne auf Naxos," produced at Gotha in 1774.?London Globe. Sooioty of Poisoner*. Arsenic has perhaps been mono frequently used than any other poison for criminal purposes. It has been proved identical with the "wonderful elixir" of the seventeenth century, when secret poisoning became so frequent in Italy. Then young widows were abundant in Home, and most of the unhappy marriages were speedily dissolved by the death of the husband. A secret society of young matrons was discovered, which met at the house of La Spara, a reputed witch, who supplied them with a slow, tasteless, colorless poison, carefully calculated to kill a husband in just the time that suited the purchaser. La Spara and thirteen of her companions were hanged, a large number of the culprits were whipped half naked through the streets of Rome, while others of the highest rank , escaped with heavy fines and banishment. \ Tu.1.. One must be a genius to be a successful barber. One is reminded of the tonsorial artist who operated in the same village for fifty years and never made a mistake. In his early days a handsome boy got in his chair. * *> "Shave, sir?" asked the barber. "You flatter me," laughed the youth. "You flatter me. No; I can only use a hair cut" Years passed?in fact, thirty years did. The same man came to the same barber. "Hair cut, sir?" asked the barber. "You flatter me!" sighed the man. "No; only a shave."?Cleveland Plain Dealer. Opening Knife Blade. Docs your penknife blade refuse to open? Here is a certain and easy method of bringing it to terms: Place ope corner of your handkerchief over the hack of the stubborn blade and wind the rest of it tightly around the knife. Hold the opposite corner between the first and second lingers of your right hand (if you are right handed) and throw the knife from you with some speed. (Jo over and pick it up and you will find the blade opened. I have yet to find a knife so rusty that if n-Aiil/1 nnf- viol/1 tr\ flue frnoimnnf and?it does save the thumb nails. ?Outing. Wireless Waves. When radio waves travel along the surface of the sea or of any other good conductor their fronts stand up nearly vertically. When they pass across stretches of poorly conducting earth, however, the top6 tend to gain and the whole wave front tips forward in the direction of motion. Resisting currents in the surface of the earth cause resistance losses and the waves rapidly become weaker. This is why it J ! is more aiuicuib 10 seuu wucicw Dignals over ground than over salt water.?Popular Science Monthly. Many Languages. It is said that there are more than 3,400 languages, including dialects, in the world. Most of them belong, of course, to savage or uncivilized people. There are said to be more than 900 languages used in Asia, almost 600 in Europe, 275 in ^ Africa and more than 1,600 languages and dialects which are Amerioao. M
