LIVE IN THE CELLARS.
Large Portion of the P0pulace Of St.
Petersburg Occupy UNDER
ground Quarters.

The heavy floods in St. Petersburg re-
Gently drove to the surface 100000 peo-
pie who prey upon the tolerence Of
householders by living in their cellars.
The return to underground lodgings of
the army of ill-nourished persons has
added enormously to a death rate which
was already much larger than that of
any other Christian capital, states COL
lier's Weekly. 1t is part of an unwritten
code that a lady or gentleman should not
know where cellars, garrets, laundry
rooms, or servants quarters are, and
genuine st. Petersburg householder new
er does know from one years end to an
other.
Mrs. Mccormick, the wife of the
American ambassador, after she and Mr..
Mccormick had moved into the palace
they now occupy in St. Petersburg, be-
came conscious of singular smells. The
fragrancesof stale herrings, onions,
soapy water, boiling cabbage, penetrated
to her drawing room. AS competent
housekeeper, she made inquiry. No one
would tell her at first, but finally the
butler admitted the odors came from
those who lived in the cellars. Lived in
the cellars! How could that be-? To the
horror of the servants, she insisted on
going to the cellars, where she actually
found 6S permanent jewellers. She
called in a policeman and had them all
turned out.
Mrs. Mccormick mentioned her singu-
Ia diconvarvy tn %ho NJ co Il Mania
bello, the wife of the then French am
bassador. THAT is nothing" said the
countess. MY sister and her children
were coming to see me. My maid said:
Madame, I would earnestly advise
you not to have the children come"
"'What do you mean? Why not?' I
said.
81 don't mean anything, only think
the children should not come. They
might get ill.,
II asked her what she meant by such
nonsense>and questioned her sharply.
She was distressed, and only after long
time>would she say, nysteriously:
"There are Is cases of diphtheria in
the house.
Il found that more than 100 people
lived in the cellars and that, as the maid
had said, Is children had the diphtheria.
Some thousands actually live under
the Winter palace. Not only, that, but
recently dairy with several COWS was
found in full operation in the Imperial
cellar. The COWS had to go, but the peo-
pie were not disturbed. That would
have been out of keeping with Russian
carelessness and nOblesse oblige.

FANCY DRESS DETAILS.

For ball dresses there are some lovely
jewel sprinkled mousselines, gauzes,
nets, Powered silks and filmy and silk
stuffs of every description.
A couture ornament that was exceed
ingly becoming to it's gray-haired wearer
consisted of a spray of deep violet and
mauve shaded pansies, into which was in
troduced small piece of rare fine old
lace.
Silver and gold tissue is being deity
introduced not only into the fashioning
of bridal gowns, but on dinner and eve-
ming gowns, as also on fur, felt, panne
and even tulle millinery.
An English novelty in the jewelry line
is the calendar watch, an ingenious con-
trivance which leaves the front dial
quite plain, as in ordinary watches, and
reserves the back for showing the cal
endar mechanism.
A shawl shaped cloak trimmed with
silk fringe and Venetian point lace is
one OF Dame Fashions latest fancies.

SONGS OF THE OJIBwAs.
The One Beautiful Type Of Folk-SonEs
Wholly Indigenous to This
Continent.

In an interesting article on Indian
music in the Southern Workman, Fred
erick R. Burton writes as follows of
the songs of the Ojibwas:
"Composition of melody does not re-
quire education. Writing it is quite
another matter, but for ages the learn
ed composers have recognized that the
most potent melody is that which orig
mates with simple people. When the
songs of nation are expressed in peri
odic form, it follows that the people,
unsteady considered, have taken a
long stride out of .savagery. Applying
these observations to the music of our
North American Indian, find that in
all tribes, except the Ojibwa, there is
only crude manifestation of form. A
reaching out for it is clear enough in
some instances, and more rarely there
is semblance of a period, but in the lat
ter instances it is attained through a
monotonous repetition of q single
phrase. In the songs of the Ojibwas
there seldom occurs one that is not
couched in a well defined period, and
this is the chief technical or structural
difference that. distinguishes the music
of this tribe from that of others. The
form Of the Ojibwa song is usually per-
feet, and that is why the layman would
naturally refer to it as q tune. n. "
= "Unhappily the Ojibwas are inclined
as they come In contact with civiliza-
ton, to neglect their own songs, using
In preference the songs Of the paleface.
This is regrettable III every way; they.
are losing one Of. the finest distinctive
features OF their ancient life, and we
are in danger of losing the one beau
.tiful type Of folk-songs which IS wholly
indigenous to this continent = .S

vail, according to letter received in
London yesterday by the Bible Lands
Missionary Aid Society from DR.. Ray
nolds, OF the American Board of Foreign
Missions. Writing from Van, October
26, DIR. Reynolds says:
"Both the political and economic con-
ditious are very unsatisfactory. Poverty
has greatly increased, business is pretty
much at stands'ill, and, TO crown all,
the revolutionists are so much IN ell
dence that the people are in constant
fear lest another massacre be Precipl-
tated. At the beginning of September
Van was brought to the very verge OF
massacre, and more recently an import
ant village has been looted and burned,
with twenty or more persons killed. SO,
you see, the prospects for the winter are
far from bright"
The latest mails bring communications
to the Bible Lands Society from mission
aries in Macedonia confirming the re-
ports of distress there.
An American, DR.. Marsh, ofthe Amer
ican Board of Foreign Missions, writes
from the Okhrida district:
"I do not see how these people can
get through the winter alive unless some
one takes special measures. l dread to
think Of what must be the conditions
and suffering here this winter, despite
all we can do in relief"
A dispatch from Viennr, says the
government has issued an official report ol
the result of the working of the Austro'
Russian programme OF Macedonian re-
forms, based on Austro- Russian consular
reports. The period since January las
shows that the condition of the provinces

century of remarkable and uniform cures,
