Mo Drums In the Middle ACES

As we come TO the middle ages,
when the nations Of modern Europe
were struggling into existence, we find
that Mt first the drum was not used
at all SO, although melody had been
known and practiced for many cen
turies rhythm had been quite forgot
ten, for what there is left to us of
the music of the middle ages contains
no bars, and we know that it was
slowly and monotonously chantcd,
without the least accent.
In the eleventh century, however,
things began to improve, more partic-
ularly as the crusaders brought into
Europe all sorts Of percussion instru-
ments from the east. Various kinds Of
drums. tambourines and cymbals We're
then seen in Europe for the first time
since the days of savages, and they
have been used, with very little
change, ever since.-St. Nicholas.

An Epistolary Hint.

In the letter from Boston was n
special delivery stamp.
"What did she send that forE" the
woman wondered. The information
she wants can be sent in an ordinary
letter 1t won't need to be sent spe-
cial."
"That stamp" said the man, lis Il
delicate hint to be quick about answer
ing. 1t is a hurry up device used by
many men. 1t is very effective. \
two cent stamp does not always spur
one on to any special effort, but Il spe-
cial delivery stamp means that the
writer wants what he wants when he
wants it, and the most dilatory cor
respondent alive is not going to let any
grass grow between the scratches of
his pen when answering. New York
