Work Among the Negritos.
Before I speak OF the work which
has been done in Luzon and other
large islands where there are semi
civilized tribes I want to tell you
about the Negritos. These little peo-
pie are about the lowest and most
barbarous of our Philippine cousins.
They are the aborigines, and are
much like the pigmles Of the Anda-
man Islands and the little dwarfs
which inhabit the wilds Of the Kongo.
They are about the smallest Of man
/ kind. I have met full-grown women
who could walk under my arm and
have seen old men who did not reach
tup to my shoulder. The officials
| Of the census measured nine full
grown men and the average height
was four feet eight inches.
These people are as black as your
hat, and their hair is as woody as
that Of the little men Of the Kongo
They have wide nostrils. thick lips
and fiat noses. Their teeth are black,
made SO by chewing the betel.
The Negritos are scattered all over
the Islands. They have no language
except that OF the people about them
They have no tribal relations to
speak or. and 1t IS hard to get hold
OF them except III isolated cases The
government has enticed some into the

A Human Salamander.

Chabert, the fire king, who was
popular favorte in London eighty
years ago, claimed to be able to swal-
low arsenic and other poisons with
impunity. Visitors to his entertainment
were requested to come provided with
phosphorus, prussic acid, arsenic and
oXalic acid. which he proceeded to con
sumo before their eyes, taking an anti
dote afterward which was supposed to
neutralize their effects. Then. to show
that he was as impervious to heat as
to poison, lie would take raw leg of
lamb into an oven heated to 800 de-
grees and remain inside until the joint
was cooked, when it was carved and
handed around to the audience. The
performance concluded by Chabert rub
bing redhot shovel on his head and
face and allowing any one who wished
to drop molten sealing wax on his
tongue and bamls.

Good Piano PLAYING.

In an article on piano playing In
the Woman's Home Companion the
author reports as follows the views of
LeschetZky, the teacher:
"When was studying with the great
master he pointed out to me the I'm
portance of musical expression In the
following way: He called my attention
TO the fact that one person, for In
stance, may tell you tale in such a
way that you find little in II that Is in
teresting, whereas another person may
tell you the same story in such man
ner that you follow every word with
the keenest attention. The secret OF
interest lies not only in the story, but
very especially In the voice, the tone,
the expression the manner OF tell
ing All this Is Interpretation. A
careless or dull piano student may
play even some exquisite melody In
such way that 1t does not attract
you at ALL whereas an artists playing
OF 1t may bring tears to your eyes"

Artist and courtier Too.

The painter is likely to be brusque.
Even when he possesses bit of tact
he Is not wont to waste 1t on "Philis-
tines" even If they are customers and
persons of distinction. No such charge,
however, can be brought against an
eighteenth century painter named
Chandler He was commissioned by
William ", to paint the attack com
manded by the sovereign when Duke
of Clarence on a fortress ON the Span
ish coast. The attack took place ut
night, and with the view of relieving
the somber veil OF midnight the artist
took the liberty Of introducing sea
g,Ills skimming the clouds.
"Hello" exclaimed his majesty when
he first saw the painting. 1T will
never do to have the birds flying about
at night, They were all gone to roost."
80 they were, your majesty" artful-
ly agreed the artist, but you gave
such rousing broadside with your
guns that they all woke up and flew
about"
"Ah, so | did, assented the royal
critic, with more than royal naivete.
81 forgot that, Very good! Very
good! Youths Companion.
