ROM the earliest times known to history men have not only had to drink, but they seem to have provided them- selves with some other beverage than water. Drinking vessels are found among the rud- } est as well as the most A enlightened people, and in many cases are so Rs, peculiar in form or mode of construction that scientists who mekea study of such things know at once when they see them to what people to refer them. The simplest drinking utensils are those provided ready made or nearly so by nature— the plantain leaf from which the South Sea islander quaffs his kava, the bowl-like cocoanut shell, the gourd. shells of mollusks, and horns. The ancient Scythians made drinking cups from the skulls of their slain enemies. Among civilized peoples, of course, drinking vessels take many forms and are ornamented in many ways. In the National museum collec- tions are many forms of cups and vessels made to drink from. These have been studied and arranged by Mr. Walter Hough, who imparted to a Stan reporter some of the knowledge he has acquired of the drinking habits and drink- ing cupsof different people. (i ——$SD DRINKING TUBES The Eskimos are great drinkers of water. They might be said to guzzle it. An Eskimo hunter who goes on the chase over vast plains of ice. however, has some difficulty in securing supplies of fresh, drinkable water. His neces- sities, however, have sharpened his wits and his senses. He will lie on the ice and listen, id, by the sounds beneath the surface. locate springs of water. Then he will bore patiently with a little bone or a knife blade upon the end of a stick. going down sometimes to a depth of quickly, because when he strikes the water it will gush up at first like a fountain, hole, or well, the Eskimo will get his water by means of a drinking tube of ivory, through the length of which he has driiled a hole. This is a used only by the hunter on his expeditions away from home. The Eskimo, around his home, has dippers and ether vessels, which he makes of wood bent isto proper state by steaming and then sewed. One large bowl-like dipper from Mbtzebue in the museum is carved out of asolid block of fossil ivory. When the Eskimo goes to sea in his kyak be carries with him a supply of water ina bottle made of skin, having a stopper of wood or bone tied to it with a string, so that it cannot be lost. Sometimes the Eskimo, for the want of better, procures water by melting snow. The snow is placed on a flat rock over a fire, and as it melts the water drips from the Tock into a vessel placed beneath to catch it. The Hupa Indians have large dipper-like spoons or ladles which they make éf wood and use to drink their beverages from. They laugh at the little spoons used by white men, and sy that such spoons make their hands e hupa, MOODEN SPOON ESKIMO. SHIN BOTTLE All over the world the gourd has been used for making drinking vessels. The Japanese pugrim carries a gourd, bottle or canteen with &uarrow neck. The gourd was used among the ancient dwellers in Mexico and the south- West, and it determined the earliest form of among the Mexicans and the Zunis. hen they made vessels of clay they simply imitated the form of vessels to which they had become accustomed by many centuries of use. ‘The Apaches who did not plant gourds made cai by weaving baskets in shape of gourds with close meshes and making them water tight by pitching the inside. A Turkish or Kurdish canteen in the museum is made from a log or cylindrical piece of wood. The inside was chipped out and a bot- tom made by inserting a plug. This rude ves- sel is furnished with a spout to drink from. A gourd cup in the National museum from Costa Rica is carved, etched, and stained with considerable skill. Another from South Amer- ica resembles a tumbler in form. Like the original tumbler, it could not be put down with liquor in it without spilling. The guest to whom it was handed would have to drain it to the bottom. Another gourd bottle is from the Easter islan where the natives have to carry water long distances, In Paraguay and other South American countries natives drink their mate from gourd calabashes. The maté, which takes the place of tea and coffee, and often of bread and meat among the people of many districts in South America, is made by steeping the dried and powdered leaves of sev- eral species of ilex. a small shrubby tree. The ¢alabasb is made with « small circular opening. ‘The mate leaves are put into the vessel and an infusion is made with extremely hot water. This as davored with sugar, milk. or lemon peel to suit the taste and drank by suction through a bom- Dilla, a reed witha basket-work strainer at the end, which prevents the particles of leaves from entering the mouth. The is banded from person to person, each of whom spe with a bombilla. Sometimes bom- billas are made of metal, with a bulb on the end perforated with small holes forming a Strainer. Thus the South American maté- drinker, the Eskimo with his drinking tube, and the small boy with a straw, who surrepti- tiously raids # cider barrel, apply the power of Suction toaid them in their potations. The Maté coutains theine,the principle that gives to tea its virtues. It was known and used among the ancient South Americans, who dis- covered its properties without knowledge of tea or the uses to which tea was put in other parts of the world.

The maize beer is supposed to be im- proved by age. It isa custom, whena female child is born, to fill a jar with maize beer. seal it air-tight and bury it, to be dug up and drunk at the time of the child's marriage. Maize beer is not a pleasant drink, especially ‘o one who knows how it is made, but it is highly intoxicating. 4 ‘he native drink of the South Sea islanders is Kava. It is made from a plant of narcotic pro- perties, Te root is chewed in the mouth and deposited .u a large wooden bowl, where it is mixed with water and cocoanut milk, and fer- mentation takes place. The liquor is strained through cocoanut brush and served in cala- bashes or plantain-leaf cups, The drink has a stupefying effect like opium, Its excessive use causes a whitish scurf to appear on the skin. This scurf, instead of being regarded like a (@URD.CUP- COSTA RICA Nin fi4 NICARAGUA CHOCOLATE CUP ay STIRRERS toper’s nose, as somewhat discreditable, is es- teemed as a badge of honor among the island- ers, as it indicates that its possessor is a man of means to gratify his taste for Kava, There are anumber of Kava bowls in the museum, including two or three of large dimensions. Every nation has had its brewed liquor or beer as well as its drinking vessels. The use of distilled liquors is comparatively recent, but fermented liquors and wines seem to have been known and to have been used before the dawn of history. The Bible and the most ancient re- | cords speak of such liquors. The vase recently presented to the National museum by the Chi- nese visitor was used for holding wine in a Chi- nese temple over three thousand years ago. The ancient Hindus had their soma, like the Greek ambrosia, lauded as the beverage of the gods. It is spoken of in the Vedas. It was made of an acid milk weed, honey and water. The primitive Aryans when they came west- ward and peopled Europe seemed to have car- ried with them a knowledge of and love for fermented beverage. They made use of such suitable plants as they found in the new lands they peopled. The ancient English honey mead is supposed to have been made, Bo far as conditions warranted, after the old Hindu re- cipe for soma, SAMOAN WOMAI i Pree te + LPS aan. —~ The Tartar drink of koumiss, made of fer mented mare’s milk, is drunk over a great part of Asia, and as far north as the confines ‘of the Arctic region. When genuine mare’s milk koumiss cannot be obtained, milk of other kinds is used in the manufacture, Itis esteemed as a pleasant and healthful beverage. The Chinese have sam-shee and the Japanese their saké, both liquors made from rice, and which they serve in delicate little cups like their tea cups. Mexico, like old Spain, is the land of water- carriers. In the Mexican towns there are big fountains in the public squares, and to these the people come for water. The most familiar a \ Ustpan sight in Mexico is a water-carrier, baring a yoke on his neck, from which are suspended two jars, usually sustained in a netting. Be- sides ordinary water all kinds of sweet drink, honey water and other beverages liked by the people. are carried about and peddled in this way. Vessels or sacks for such pur are made also of the whole skins of goats or pigs. The skins are sewed up tightly and the legs ali secured. An ——. is left in one leg, which is provided with a plug, and used as a spout for pouring out the liquor. In other countries under Spanish influences skins are made into vessels for carrying water or liquors, In Mexico a good deal is thought of pottery known as sweet ware. It is made of a porous clay which imparts a sweetish taste to the t. The Mexicans use also stone filters made of porous rock. They are bowl ped, and of considerable thickness. The water is placed in the hollow and it percolates through the stone, dripping down into a vessel placed to receive it. Such a filter is placed outdoors in a frame lattice where the wind can reach it and keep the water cool by evaporation. MANTA abreeze. The water passing through the cla: collec's on the surface and is craporsted. Evaporating vessels such as the monkey bottle are used in all hot countries. The Zuni bottles and vessels are elaborately ornamented in the Zuni le. As the Zunis live where water is not abundant or easy to ob- tain, their houses are filled with vessels for reserving water. They are nearly all of a form That shows their descent from the original gourd. Acup from Nicaragua is made of ex- tremely hard wood, carved with much difi- culty. In such cups chocolate is made, and with a cup goes a stirrer, a slender stick of wood provided with a bulb-shaped end, or having a number of rings around one end. ‘This is placed in the beverage and twirled with the fingers. a In India among the natives a common form of drinking vessel is the lota, a little vase-like cup of metal or terracotta. The lota has been in use without change of form since ancient times. When a native Indian goes from home he takes his lota with him and always drinks with it for fear of being luted by drinking from some vessel from which a person of low caste had quenched his thirst. Aa the wells have no facilities for drawing water the Hindu carries a cord with him, with which he lets his lota down into the well and draws up the water. 5 Among the vessels in the museum is what is known as a Scotch horn, elt is a flat cup, fashioned by the Scotch from horn, and in which, in some parts of Scotland, spirituous liquors are served. From this use it is sup- posed the expression of “taking a horn” was derived. Horns have been used as drinking vessels in many parts of the world. Among the Germans now horns, often beautifully carved and mounted with silver, are used on festive occasions, An African drinking vessel in the museum made from the horn of an antelope. Some of these horn vessels made by Africans are exquisitely carved. They make cups, too, in some parts of the dark continent, of ivory. Among the bushmen of Africa there is a curious method of stcring water for use. They fill ostrich eggs with water and bury them in waterless places. There are no signs by which anyone not a bushman could ever de- tect where an ostrich egg filled with water was buried, but a bushman on his travels, when he is athirst, looks about him and soon finds a spot from which he unearths a treasured eggful of water, —s—____ NOTES IN NEW YORK. Some of the Gotham Fashions in Other Things Than Clothes. RUSSOMANIA HAS GIVEN WAY TO RUSSOPHOBIA, AND NOW ALL IS HUNGARIAN—SWELL PEOPLE CONSULT SPIRITUALISTS AND SOOTHSAYERS— FROM PRISON INTO SOCIETY—GIBLS’ CLUBS, Correspondence of THE EVENING STAR. New York, May 31. I have been finding out this week some of the fashions in other things besides clothes, as fashions are followed in the city of New York. Ihave watched the succeeding fads like Budd- hism, the Browning mania, the mind-cure craze and Russomania, and I have discovered that they are all consigned to the past and obli- vion. Russomania had a strong hold upon fashionable people here when Verestchagin’s smart press agent worked his many little booms for that artist, and it lasted after Verestchagin had gone until some body showed a letter from that smart press agent dated from Chicago, in which the puff-writer ridiculed the silliness of New Yorkers in being led into Russ-worship, and took all the credit for introducing the fashion upon his own plebeian self, in the paid interest oF the artist-exhibitor. Then society et the Russain business, vetchkas were rolled into the remote fastnesses of Fifth- avenue stables, and samorars were consigned to the darkest corner of the pewter-closet. NOW ALL 18 HUNGARIAN. The'Hungarian craze has succceded Russo- mania, and I don’t believe it is the result of press agents’ puffery either, although I am at @ loss to account for its real raison d’étre. Per- haps its the Hungarian orchestras at some of our places of amusement, and perhaps its the mental effort required to acquire the correct pronunciation of the dreadful names with which the Hungarian is afflicted. At the Eden Musee there has been a Hungarian orchestra for several years, It is composed of swarthy, bewhiskered, fierce-looking fellows, who can neither read nor write, and who play, ofcourse, entirely by ear, but with such” beautiful rhythm and perfect harmony that their music, while uncanny and weird, is often sympathetic and always stirring. They became the fashion at swell receptions and little dances at home, and nearly every night in the week after the Musee had closed they found extra employ- ment. Now Manager Aronson has engaged a Hungarian band for the Casino roof garden; and people have gone wild over the curious ef. fects of the stringed instruments played by these musicians, Besides, there are bands of Hungarian students and’ Hungarian gypsies scattered allover town at beer gardens and concert halls, and one place of amusement has now a troupe of Hungarian dancers. The Hungarians, with their fantastic native cos- tumes, make a pretty display in a society draw- ing-room, and their music and dancing do not seem to bore the swell folk as much as ordi- nary cut-and-dried entertainments have bored the blasé bachelors and maidens for some years before. We hear nowadays of “Hungarian teas,” “Hungarian afternoons.” and the like, and the two or three Hungarian restaurants in town have enjoyed such an increase of patron age as will make their proprietors rich, if the craze only lasts long enough. FASHIONS IN RELIGION, There are fashions in religion as well as in more worldly things, and just now I hear that everybody has taken up spiritualism, I don't know as this can be fitly termed a religion, however, as its devotees seem to worship most enthusiastically its table-tipping part, and they have leanings toward astrology and fortune- telling. The present is the great-st season of financial success that spiritualistic mediums, astrologers and fortune-tellers have ever known in New York, It is astonishing to find how many cultivated and intellectual men and women dabble in the dark waters of these mysteries. I hear of men well known in Wall street who never undertake a venture of im- tance until they have consulted a medium. Pesca knowetc reputable physician who takes a lock of hair from his sick patient's head to a fortune-telling medium to have the sub- a horoscope cast. The physician says he as done this in his most serious cases for a year, and that the recovery or death of his patient have always been correctly foretold by the medium. There is a wonderfully clever medium, a woman, whose offices on 6th avenue are always crowded, because she has succeeded in hitting the truth so many times for her patrons. We have a very wise society for psy- chichal research here, and the society investi- gated this woman, with the effect that she com- pletely puzzled the most astute and most skep- tical of its members. When the weak-minded and the vicious are affected by the abracadabra of fortune-tellers and soothsayers it is no wonder to anybody, but it gives one a sort of shock to know that the upper c! in New York are really interested in such cattle, FROM JAIL TO FIRESIDE, Little has been seen of James D, Fish, wrecker of the Marine bank, since he finished his term in the Auburn state prison a week or two Itis said of him that he is as yet living quietly alone with his grown daughter and with the child which poor Sallie Reber bore him, and that he prefers to live secluded for the present, although his old friends of both sexes have invited py pe tel adanger to society when st large. He wasa good-enough sort of man, and was respected and admired before he fell into the devious ways that led to his becoming a felon. There is really no reason why imprisonment should hurt his status in society. There have been many other instances here of men r and trusted after having served terms of imprisonment for felony, and their lives after they obtained their freedom have in most instances been free from any suspicion of wrong-doing. Harry Genet, the Tweed lieu- tenant who served his term in prison, has led an examplary life since his release several years ago, and now lives quietly in a modest residence on the Shrewsbury river. near Red Bank, where ho is visited by people whose friendship is an honor to any man possessing it. Ed Stokes, whose crime was murder, pur- sues a busy life of constant work, and is the trusted business adviser of men who have money to invest. Genet, Stokes, and Fish have paid the penalty for their transgressions, they are, therefore, quits with society, and there is consequently no sort of sense in regarding them as pariahs or outcasts, WORKING-GIRLS’ CLUBS. A good thing for the working girls of New York has been engineered to success by Miss Grace Dodge, one of the two female members of the board of ‘school commissioners. I refer to the clubs established in this city for vores girls,the membership in which has now reache a figure exceeding 2,000, At these clube there are classes in cooking, dress-making, sewing and cutting, calisthenics, French, German,mu- sic, stenography, embroidery, fancy work, &c. In some cases female doctors are in attendance and in others minor societies are formed for charitable endeavor. Some of them have li- braries and reading-rooms; some have lodging- rooms, and others only parlors, where the va- rious classes receive instruction even- ings, All these clubs are —_¢o-op- erative, and a system like that of trades unions prevails, so that wages may be kept at the hving point at least, and so that unpaid wages may be collected by law. In the system of instruction care is taken not to cultivate tastes which the members in after years will be unable to gratify, but every energy is bent upon equipping ‘the girls for making easier and more certain the task of supporting themselves, Miss Dodge, who is a leader in the movement, is a daughter of the late philanthropist, William E. Dodge, whose bronze statue stands at Broadway and 6th avenue, She is a large, well-formed and finely-developed woman,’ with a strong, agreeable face, and manners that are decided, butcourteous, She is one of the most faithful of the members of the board of education, and is thoroughly and practically interested in pub- lic education. Branches of the working gi clubs have been organized in Philadelphi Brooklyn and Boston. H. HS. SUMMER _ RESORTS.
