Considering the antiquity Of the
trumpet and the drum, and their OBJ
vious adaptability to sounding signals
It would seem as If field music must
have originated simultaneously with
these instruments. That soldiers
marched and fought to their martial
strains in the most ancient times we
know from passages in the Bible and
the classics. But there is a difference
between military and feldmusic. The
former is played BY the regimental
bands, and consists chiefly of marches
and inspiring airs; the latter is played
on the field Of battle to fire the sol
dier's heart. Field music is sounded
by the bugle, the trumpet, the drum
or the drum and fife, and consists OF
a system OF signals by which, instead
Of by word Of mouth, commands are
conveyed to the troops. 1t is impossi-
Bile to discover when the first system OF
this kind originated. Probobly II de-
veloped gradually, The fact that 9
trumpet or a drum can be heard much
more distinctly on the battlefield than
an officers voice, which might at the
most important moment be lost in the
din, is SO obvious that signals for the
most usual commands, charge" and
retreat" must have come into use
with the instruments capable Of sound
ing them, other signals being gradual

sIAMEsE WOMEN.
Rules of Life which Force TheH
into Premature Old Age-The
BeteI Nut Habit.

All women of the tropics fade early,
but none more quickly than the women
Of Siam, and this is chiefly for two
reasons, They are really very pretty as
young girls, and seldom or never grow
ing stout, they should retain their
beauty for a long period, and would
do SO were if not for some Of their Gus
toms and superstitions.
The most pernicious of these is the
treatment Of a woman who has just be.
come a mother. a fre-to which she's
entirely unaccustomed in that hot
climates Immediately lighted in her
room near the bed, and kept burning
without intermission for two weeks.
This is done for the purpose of exorcis-
ing demons and evil spirits, and very
often results in exercising the spirit Of
the poor little woman herself. The
heat of her room during her entire ILL
ness is simply i~nsupportable, and
where it does not produce fatal results
tends to undermine the strongest cOn
stitution. As the girls marry when
very young, they are likely to be old
women long before they are 30.
Then the disgusting habit Of chew
ing the betel nut combined with the
fact that they have no dentists, trans
forms the originally pretty mouth Of
the Siamese woman into a hideous
spectacle. They first smear a seri-leaf
ever with quicklime and then wrap in it
a piece Of the betel nut, very much as
one rolls a cigarette; and they are rare
Iy e without a piece in their mouths,
The Siamese women have q curious
way Of carrying this narcotic about
with them. They have their cara
pierced exactly as the women Of other
nations pierce theirs for the purpose
Of wearing earrings; only instead o.
looming jewels, they stick into the per.
forations the stems of several Of thes'
prepared leaves. One may frequently
see them starting off for a chat Will
