nearly every case the host complained of
the tune of the piano. saying that owing
to the insurrection he had been unable to
secure musician up from Manila to put
it in order. The boys of several of the fam
lilies took their places at the piano and
played equally well with their sisters.
How Macabebe is Governed.
Later on we called upon the presidente
and had a chat with him and his officials
about the situation. He is a straight fine
looking. brown-skinned, smooth-faced Mac
abebe of about forty years of age. He told
me that he very glad the Americans
had come to the islands and that he doubt
ed not we would eventually find them a
profitable investment He told me that his
people liked the soldiers and that many
of them were studying English in order
that they might be better acquainted with
US and our government.
The president here holds much the same
place as one of our mayors. He Is the
chief officer of the town and is elected by
the people. In addition to him there Is
vice-presdent. a city council and a civil
guard or police The town has little pris-
on calaboose In which criminals are
confined. The people are, however, very
orderly Their chief vice is gambling
drunkenness being almost unknown. They
are like the Tagalos in that they have very
quiet temDers and when enraged are re-
vengeful. They carry their hatred a long
way and usually fight to the death. They
do not regard life much account and in
their quarrels slash at another with
bolos.
Very Religious.
The Macabebes are a religious people.
They Catholics and all attend church
regularly. They have native priests and
decidedly object to the Spanish friars.
Every afternoon at o'clock the bells in
the tower of the plaza ring out the angelus
At this time everyone, whether on the street
or at home bows his head and says the
prayer If at home the children salute the
father and mother by kissing their hands.
They have curious method of dividing the
day into morning and evening, the division
being marked by the ringing Of the ange-
lus. Solicitations up to that time is good
morning. After the angelus bell rings they
say good evening"" and usually repeat
this Salutation to one another even if they
have been together all day.
The minor services of the church are an

only for important occasions. / spent some

Russian Music.

From the Gentleman's Magazine
Catharine ii QS62-1796) may be reckoned
to have given the first real impetus to this
national school Of music 1t is true that the
various musical posts of honor connected
with her court were bestowed upon Paisi-
clio, Cimarosa and other distinguished for
eigners. At the same time she by no means
systematically ignored native talent, after
the manner OF her predecessors. Opera was
the favorite distraction of this redoubtable
sovereign. Between her constant chickering's
and diplomatic schemihgs with her neigh
bors, she found time TO dabble personally
In art and wrote several iibfetu which were
set and performed with eciat by native
musicians. AS a result of this encourage
ment, over sixty Russian operas were pro-
duced during her reign. One Of them, AN
nette. is quoted as the first wholly Rus
sian opera extant, composer librettist and
theme all being of native origin. The five
years rule OF Catharines Fantastic sue
cessor, Paul. was too brief and troubled to
witness any very appreciabie advancement
In art. After Paul came Alexander l. Dur
ing this monarch's supremacy the central
figure In Russia's musical life was Cat

writers accepted him as Russian, SPELL

The Donegal Girl.

In Donegal there is a custom OF engaging
both farm hands and servants for six
months at hiring fairs, the girls receiving
board and only low wage because their
ignorance hitherto has made them only fit
for the toughest work.
1t is, however, more astonishing that girls
from these poor little homes should know
anything at all about service than that
they should be, some of course are. bad
servants. Their own homes have mud
floors, windows that do not open, no stairs,
hardly any kitchen utensils. no range, the
cooking scarcely extends beyond boiling po-
tatoes and cooking griddle cake, how can
they know even the names, still less the
uses, Of the thousand and one things in our
houses? How learn to scrub, or sweep, or
dust? Yet given a short training mot too
late in life) and a good example, there is
not a servant the world over to compare
with a good Irish servant She has heart
which is wholly given to her mistress, she
never degenerates into mere machine, and
she may be trusted to cling even closer in
times of trouble sickness or poverty than
when all goes smoothly.

over her head and laid over other poles at

If you wish to buy you must expect to
bargain for as a rule the maiden merchant
has no fixed price and expects you to jew

she asks. II you make good purchase

1 am told that the women are very good
traders. They manage the money matters
of their respective families, and there is
not one of them who does not aid her hus-
band in building up his income. The store
keepers carry their goods to their houses
every night and bring them back every
morning. They watch the markets and
know when to buy and sell.
Among the poorer classes of Macabebes
the women do a great deal Of work. They
labor in the fields doing all kind Of farm
ing. They may be seen peddling in the
markets and you meet them on the country
roads going along with great burdens on
their heads. They are, think better look
ing than the Tagalogs They are said to
wives.
Some Are Rich.
In company with Lieutenant Chadwick
1 called on number of the leading citizens
of Macabebe town. There are many rich
among them and some of the houses which
we visited were large and well furnished.
The living rooms are on the second floor,
the entrance usually being from stairs on
the side Every house had it's piano and in
many the ladies played for US and that as
well-indeed much better than the average
girl of the states.
