No Drums in the Middle Ages.

As we come to the Middle Ages, when the nations of modern Europe were struggling into existence, we find. that at first the drum was not used at all. So. although melody had been known and practiced for many cen turnes, 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 chanted, without the least accent.
 In the eleventh century, however. things began to improve, more par ticularly as the Crusaders brought into Europe all sorts of percussion instru- ments from the east. Various kinds of drums, tambourines and cymbals were 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.

Treasury Cash Balances

WASHINGTON June 1.-The treasury deficit
for May is shown by today's statement to have
been So, 453 955. For the eleven months of the
current fiscal year deficit of s97S5S 1902 Is indt-
Gated The available cash balance was $llS,-
$40 76l and the working balance $40 1923 900. The
total receipts for May $50, 1872 80 and the
disbursements s5S 7S6, 265. The showing is much
more favorable than was expected by the off
Gals and indicates that the deficit for the full
fiscal year will fall short of the official esti-
mate of SIP 900, 900. The working balance is
not regarded as fully adequate needs for any
great length of time and the necessity for ad-
ditlonal cash is not pressing, it is said that
officials will take advantage of the present
asy money conditions throughout the country
by calling on the national depositary banks
for the return to the treasury of large part
of their holdings.
