instruments is the cheng, 1t is the

twelve to twenty-tOur bamboo
reeds, placed closely together in

thecurved cylinder, opening and
closing the ventages with his
fingers. Among their instruments
of the flute type mention should
be made of the yO, which is played
from the top like the modern flute.
They also possess the pan-pipes
called siaO. Their martial instru-
ments include various trumpets
with funnel or knOb-shape bells.
Their orchestra is but sparsely
recruited with stringed instru-
ment of their own invention, for
the mandolins and guitars which
they use are more probably Of
Persian or HindOO than of Chinese
origin. The only Chinese stringed
instruments are the kin and che,
the former very primitive guitar,
of pear shape, usually strung
with four strings, and having
inside it some metallic bells which
make a Changing accompaniment
to the sound of it's strings; while
the che, literally translated "the

feet in length, containing twenty
five strings. Both are evidently of

citizen of Baltimore to a st. Louis
Globe-Democrat man recently, but |
once saw a cat that took to the water
5 naturally as a dog, happened
to be crossing the Mississippi river in
a rowboat one day, when the man who
was rowing me across suddenly said:
Did you ever see a cat swim. sir?' at
the same time pointing over the stern
of the boat On turning around | saw
large black and white cat swimming
about in the middle of the river On
inquiry / found that the cat was in the
habit of swimming every morning
from the shore to an island in the river,
where it visited a lot of fishing nets
that were spread out there to dry, and
picked up the dead fish, and also
hunted for rats, which aboundcd on
the island. After becoming thorough
ly satiated the cat would commit him
self again to the wal and swim home
The next day determined to try and
witness the performance again. but |
arrived at the waterside just in time
to see him return from his mornings
hunt. While swimming the cat kept
most of his body out of the water. his

CHINESE MUSIC.
It Is in Close Affinity with Their
Religion.

Religion.
From the New Orleans Picayune.
In turning our attention first of
all to the Chinese, we find that the
origin of music with them, as with
all other nations, is in close affinity
viii that of their religion. says
Cassell's "History of Music" The
Chinese builds his world upon the
harmonious action of the heavens
and earth regards the animation
OF all nature, the movements Of the
stars and the change of seasons as
a grand "wOrld-music," in which
everything keeps steadfastly in its
appointed course, teaching man.
kind thereby a wholesome lesson.
One of the founders of their religion
FO-Hi. is believed to have been the
inventor of the kin, a stringed
instrument still in use in China.
The close relationship that origin
ally existed between the COnstitu-
ton of the State and music is also
clearly shown in Chinese history.
All their music has from time
immemOriaI been under State SUI
perVisiOn, in order to guard
against the stealthy Introduction
OF any tone contrary TO ordinance.
Here we already meet with the
perniciOus influence of a bureau
cratic, pedantic state, as we'll as
that Of the prosaic character of the
Chinese, upon their music. Both
features are eXemplified in the
names of the notes Of their oldest
musical scale, which consisted Of
only five tones, from + to y, omit
ting the B.
We will now endeavOr to des-
Cribe Chinese music by noticing
some Of its prominent features.
Among the Chinese the art of mu-
sic has ever remained an object
either Of diversion or of speculation.
It has never revealed to them the
language Of the heart and intellect.
Nevertheless, they draw a distinC-
ton between sound and noise. The
period at which the tive-toned
scale was enlarged to seven tones
has been described by Chinese
theorists as the commencement OF
the decadence Of their musical
system. They ascribe to their
mythical bird,"F ung- Hoang," and
his mate the invention of tones
the six whole tones to the male,
and the half tones to the female
Such creed comedies with their
notions Of man and woman. The
whole tones represented to them
things perfect and independent as
heaven, sun and man; the hall
tones things imperfect and de.
pendent--as earth, moon and
woman. The enlargement of the
scale to seven tones was owing tC
the insertion of the two half tones
Z and i, which were called dead.
ecs" to + and G, and they posses!
also, for the modern cultivated ear
the quality OF resolving then
selves into the half tone above
