The Servian Drum.

TT seems that the men who play the
big drums in the Servian army bands
have an easier lot than the drummers
of other lands, since they do not have
to carry their own drums.
In nearly all cases, instead of being
slung in front of the man who plays it.
the instrument is put on a small two
wheeled cart drawn by a large dog. OF
course, the drummer must play as he
marches, but the dog is SO well train
ed that there is no difficulty in doing
this.
The animal keeps his place even
through the longest marches. and the
drummer walks behind the cart, per-
forming on his instrument as he goes
along. Each regiment is provided with
two or three big drums, but few regi-
ments have a band.
