would be better not to take the case
to law and to let the matter 60, trust
ing that 1t would come out all right
without creating scandal
This did not satisfy the woman, says
the IloiIo Times, who then went to the
military headquarters to implore aid
in prosecuting the willful husband. It
happened that as she was telling her
story G. T. Trent, the supervisor Of
provincial fiscals, was present and on
hearing her whole tale Of woe through,
he addressed a note to Mr.. Montinola,
the provincial fiscal, asking him to in
yestigate tho case and II there was
anything in the complaint to prosecute
the commercially inclined husband in
the courts
He also directed the woman TO ap-
pear before Mr. Montinola in person
and present her grievances. but she
said she was afraid TO go up that way,
as her husband would probably see
her and abuse her. A policeman was
then called, who escorted her to the
palace and now there must either be
a reconciliation or just another broken
heart.

Another gallery is given up to

To one whose previous acquaint-
ance with musical instruments has
been confined TO the contents Of the
European orchestra, the revelation Of
new forms in the collection is simply
bewildering No country is SO re-
mote, no tribe so uncivilized, but has
its representative. Egypt sends the
harp and the sistrum; Mexico and
Peru have restored from the mounds
the clay whistles and trumpets long
ago buried with their ancient inhab-
itants. China contributes its gongs
OF sonorous stone. and from its hoary
temples brings forth the ~gyo,7 or
crouching tiger From far Alaska
come drums made of skin, and shaped
like a palm-leaf fan. The North
American Indian sends his love-aute,
land his brother of the south his rat
tile. Java has the "anklangP with
its musical bamboo tubes in octaves,
giving a sound like running water.
From more distant islands come the
plnpipes and the nose flute. And so
one might run on indefinitely. No
people or tribe so primitive or so re-
mote but they have invented some
device to crafty their love Of sweet
sound
The singular fact revealed by such
a collection is that all devices were
known to men from the earliest

men OF the rudest forms Of culture.
