A Forgotten Monument.

One of the charms of life in the
country is its moderation and free
dom from hurry and excitement. 1t is
possible, however to have too much
of a good thing, as an incident which
happened recently in a New England
farming district indicates.
Farmer Allen had gone up into his
attic to get a spinning wheel for the
tableaux which the summer boarders
were to produce in the town hall.
Like most country attics, it was
packed with the relics Of several gen.
erations, but the thing which at once
attracted the attention of the city
girl who accompanied the farmer was
a gravestone, tucked away under the
caves.
Why, there's a gravestone," she
said
Yes" The farmer dragged It out
and turned its face to the light. The
inscription on it read:
Sacred to the memory of
Henry F. Allen

sturdy and Happy Msn.
On the Sunday morning when all the
church bells were changing and good
Blagovestchensk folks were Fastening,
armed with prayer books, to worship,
/ took solitary walk along the Amur
side. On the way passed through the
camp where are stationed some 5000
soldiers. It was well situated near a
wood. The officers quarters were OF
timber. painted white, and there were
scraggy gardens in front There were
great long sheds for the troops, but
most Of the men were under canvas.
Their tents were pitched on quite a
different plan to that adopted by Brit
ish troops. There was first built up
square Of sods, not unlike a sports
mans shelter you see on the moors at
home, with an entrance on one side.
On the top OF this was fixed the tent.
which was really a sort Of square can
vas lid which would throw the rain
beyond the bank. In each were six
beds and there was plenty OF room to
stand up. At every point was a sol
der on guard, bugles were continu-
ously sounding, officers and their or
darlies were galloping about. For
eigner' was, of course, stamped all
over me. and, although I received many
curious glances, I strolled where
pleased. with never a word of hind
rance.
These Russian white-bloused Tom
mics were just as 'larky" as their red
jacketed friends at Aldershot, says a
correspondent Of the London News. In
one or two places men were put out on
parade, but most of them were spend
ing their Sunday as they pleased. From
some of the tents came the bleat Of ac-
cordlons, and young fellows were
laughing and singing. Then came
across a group having wrestling
matches; next some young fellows were
testing their jumping powers; then
groups squatted in the shade of the
trees smoking and gossiping. l must
say that they were all sturdy, we'll set
and healthy men, clean and neat, and
quite happy.

Chinese Music.

John Chinaman has abundant means
for gratifying his love of noise One
traveller describes the band" at
Mandarins feast at which he was
present. 1t consisted of a gong, two
pairs of cymbals, and a single kettle
drum; and the clatter went on almost
without interruption for three hours.
At the theater the orchestra num-
bers unusually five or six performers,
all of whom says an attache writing
from Pekin, play upon several instru-
ments, which they take up in turn,
according to the character OF the
music. The instruments chiefly used
are flddles, lutes, clarinets, flutes,
sort of mouth organ, and large va
riety of gongs, drums, and cymbals.
OF course one speaks of fiddle for
simplicity's sake, for a Chinese fiddle
is no more like a European fiddle than
a Chinaman in his pigtail is like a
Londoner in chimney-pot hat. Even
the street hawkers in China have
each his own trade announcement in
the shape of a musical instrument.
Thus one trade has a thing like a
monster jews harp, another has a
tiny gong, a third a drum, fourth
beats two pieces of bamboo together,
and so on. The beggars, too, use
castanets made of bamboo In Can
ton there is a poor law, according to
which if a beggar goes into shop
or similar place and sounds his bam-
boo sticks he cannot be turned out

1t is interesting, while American
boys and girls are playing their games
and enjoying their sports, to read of
the enjoyment the children of other
countries have. Chinese boys and
girls, for instance, have their games
that they play with just as much en-
thusiasm as do their western cousins.
One of these is "the hawk catching
young chickens" The children stand
one behind the other, having the larg-
est boy to protect them from the
hawk. The hawk, the child who, as we
say in most games, is he" comes to
catch the chickens; but the line
swings back and forth and the pro-
tector keeps between the brood and
the hawk
Another game is pointing at the
moon or stars" The children form
themselves into a ring, with one of
their number blindfolded in the CEN
tire. The ring moves around, the,
players singing. The ring stops. and
the boy in the centre points. The per-
son toward whom he points must take
his place blindfolded in the centre.
