The African Piano.

Among tho musical instruments used
on the Congo We notice the long and
short drum. Some drums arc used to
beat the time of the dance. Some other
drums arc used as telephones for tho
transmission of messages to neighbor-
ing villages. The stringed instruments
represent the African harp. The ivory
horns are used for the convocation of
popular assemblies. The double bell is
used to call the attention of the people
to some proclamation OF the chief The
Africans everywhere are very musical,
but their music does not always suit
European taste.
The African dance is not always in.

The madimba had been called the,
African piano. 1t is made of calabashes
of graded sizes. which are surmounted
by boards, Of graded sizes also, all be-

Each board represents note or half
tone and emits its appointed sound
when struck by one of the two rubber
oalls at the ends Of two sticks, which
are cleverly handled by the musician.
While almost every native can beat the
drum or play some of the minor musical
instruments, the playing Of the madim-

their art supports them, either partly

POLLY'S DANDER UP.
Inhamed mt Sight of an Offensive Bird a
Visitor Wore on Her Hat.


Visitor Wore on Her Hat.
A bridal couple who put in several
days recently taking in the sights of
the capital enjoyed themselves i'm
mensely until tho day preceding their
departure. 1t then occurred to the bride
that she had not called upon "dear
Fanny" who had been her chum dur
ing her days at the seminary. Now,
Fanny was still enjoying single blessed
ness, and this may have had something
to do with the anxiety of the bride to
call upon her maiden chu1n. George de-
INJURED feebly, but at last consented to
pay formal call The bride dressed
herself in fetching gown and placed
upon her saucy head Partisan dream
in tho way of hat. The hat was ono
of those Undesirable creations of the
mllliner' art, mass of flowers with a
bird or two partially concealed i'll the
foliage, so to speak.
Tho pair Went gayly forth and in q
hotel coupe were soon ut tho door of
Fanny's residence. Their cards were
taken and they were ushered into the
drawing room. While awaiting the
coming OF her friend the brides atten-
ton was attracted to Il large cage con-
tanning splendid parrot She chirruped
cooingly to tho imprisoned bird and
wished she might take him out Of his
cage and carcss him. George remarked
that he looked tame enough and sug-
gested the opening of tho door of tho
cage. Suiting action to the word, he
opened the door and tho released bird
"a cd I
about, blinking his beady eyes know
ingly. Tho bride, with usual calls of
Poll, pretty POLL" coaxed the bird to-
ward her, and poll proceeded to climb
up the rounds of the chair upon which
the lady was sitting and perchcd herself
upon tho arm of the chair The parrot
uttered cultural cries of "Polly, Polly"
this word seemingly comprising her en-.
tire vocabulary
The bird accepted tho caresses, and
apparently all was serene, but without
an instant's warning she uttered
scream OF rage and flew at tho lady's
headgear, alighting fairly thereon, and
then for few minutes tho air was fill
cd with flying feathers and bits of flow
ers, while tho atmosphere was fractured
by screams from the bride and discord-
ant cries from the parrot. George nt-
tempted to como to tho rescue and had
his face badly scratched for his pains
Tho lady finally shook the bird loose
from tho flower garden she was wear
ing upon her hat and made one wild
dash for the front door, followed close
ly by tho bridegroom. Once on the pave
ment, they became somewhat composed
and determined to return to their hotel
to repair damages They did not tarry
long enough to see dear Fanny"
Tho sudden wrath of the bird was
evidently caused, George thought upon
reflection during calmer moments, by
tho fact that amid tho flowers in his
wlfe's hat there nestled stuffed Caro-
line parrakeet, which the parrot took
to be n real live rival and proceeded
forthwith to demolish Tho bride is

The
Cruel knife!

The alarming increase in the number
of deaths which occur as the result of a
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and u etropg sentiment
against such methods of treatment is
fast developing among the most intelli-
gent classes. 1t seems that in almost
every case for which the doctors treat
ment is unsuccessful, the learned physi.
clans decide at once that an operation
must be performed, aud the keen blade
of the surgeon is recklessly resorted to.
Doctors are human, and Of course are
liable to make mistakes. but their mis-
takes are too fatal to be ir,lulged in
promiscuously, and as so man, lives are
sacrificed in this manner, it is but natural
for the public to believe that half the
operations are unnecessary, besides be-
ing fearful risk to human life, even if
successful.
1t is positive fact, however, that all
operations are not necessary, and that a
majority of them are absolutely under
taken without the slightest chance of
success. The doctors have never been
able to cure blood disease, and sur
gical operation is their only method of
treating deep-seated cases. such as cam
Ger and scrofulous affections. Aside
from the great danger, an operation
never did and never will cure cancer, as
the disease never fails to return. Can
Ger 10 in the blood, and common sense
teaches anyone that no disease can be
cut from the blood

OF her children. Mrs. Kingsbury de-
