Daniel Mayer, the English musical
agent, says America is the only coun-
try besides England where great
money" is made by musicians. On the
continent charges for admission are
small, and there are not so many big
halls, consequently artists have to be
content with lesser receipts. A fee OF
ESQ is considered as something very
high indeed for single performance
"across the water" The musical life
is a very uncertain one, 1t seems. Only
those who have made really big names
make big incomes. A great many
"big" vocalists and instrumentalists
receive pupils, even while at the height
of their popularity. Musical suns are
apt to set very suddenly. Singers go
out of fashion quickly and do not get
into fashion again.

when the kirghiz. through interne me
disputes. found themselves attacked
on the southwest By the kalm'acks, on
the north by the siberian Cossacks and
ON the east by the ruler 81 Jungaria,
that they began TO bid foz Russian pro-
lection, and 20 afford that series of raj
son d'etre for Russian conquest in
Central Asia. Ii was not, however,
until lssl, ON the death of the bold
Sultan Ablai. who, by skillful coquetry
with both Russia and China, had man,
aged 20 retain independence, that Rus
sian sway became fixed
IL Is curious fact that the Kirghiz
We're converted 20 Northumberland
by the mistaken efforts of the Russian
government. At first but few of the
sultans had any idea OF the doctrines
of Islam, and there was not n mosque
or mullah in the steppe; but the Rus.
slams UuSt rs they insisted ON using
the Tartar language i'm their inter-
course with them insisted on treating
them as though they were Mohamme-
dams, built mosques and sent mullahs
until the whole people became out
wardly Mussulman. When asked what
religion they have (unaccustomed to
such a form of the question: they will
say that they do not know; but at the
same time they will repel with vigor
any insinuation that they are not good
MuSSulmans.
The kirghiz are in general breeders
OF cattle and sheep. and the search for
fresh pastures is the main cause for
their migrations over the steppe. They
do not, however, wander indlscrimin-
ately over the vast expanse, but have
their settled winter and summer quar-
tiers, each vOlost-as they are now di-
vided by the Russians for e nvenience
IN collecting housekeeping it's own
limits.
Besides horse-raclrg, the usual pas
times are wrestling, swinging, and
especially the national sport, halga.
where one man holds kid thrown
over his saddle and every one else
tries to tear it from him. There Is one
race, called the love chase" which
may be considered part of the form
of marriage among the klrghiz. In
this the bride, armed with formlda.
bic whip, mounts n fleet horse and Is
pursued by all the young men who
make any pretensions TO her hand.
She viii be given as prize to the one
who catches her, but she has the
right, besides urging ON her horse 10
the utmost, 10 use her whip to keep off
all except the one already chosen in
on the steppe, a religious ceremony OF
her heart. AS mullahs are very rare
any kind ut a marriage Is unusual;
but one thing must be strictly per-
\ Toned. After the women have sung
the virtues OF the bride. and the men
have chanted those of the groom, tell
| ing Of his great exploits, how many
cattle he has stolen and In how many
marauding expeditions he has engaged,
