The Drum in Africa

The drum not only takes the place of bells in
Africa but is the chief musical instrument. 1t can
readily be surmised that it is far from melodious
one.
Most villages own a variety of drums, big and
little. There is drum for each OCCASION and the
of many dran,s for some special events There
the chiefs drum, the war; or call, drum, the
carriers drum, and the dance drum.
The biggest drum of all is the drum. When
beaten with clubs welded with all the strength of

away. There are smaller war drums, however, that

The big drums have skin stretched across each

The dance drum is another instrument with
tremendous capacity for sound. Missionaries have

Chautauqua Meeting Big Success

which held it's second quarterly meeting Jan. Goth:
Over two thousand persons, the largest number
ever assembled in the State Prison Auditorium in
Saltwater yesterday afternoon heard men, whose
talent might have gained for them place on the
placards of chautauqua posters, now known only by
number. pay tribute song and story to Americas

the message of regret that they, too. might not be
counted in that vast army going out to wage
glorious fight in behalf of humanity.
j. D. sang so Long, Mother" with sincere
feeling unlike that of the stage because 1t came
home pertnently TO him. He pictured the boy in
khaki waving the last farewell his mother as she
stood in the door, and with rifle his shoulder he
hurried away to join the forces of his comrades.
y. D. will never have that privilege. He want
ed his listeners to know it.
The climax of the entertainment, which marked
the second quarterly meeting of the Pieran Chautau-
qua Circle, prison organization, came when the
audience joined with the entertainers in singing the

S0ME DISHES THAT ARE REAL
GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURES

Sea urchin's eggs are used in Cey-
Ion as we eat ray oysters here. The
MeXicans use av ariety of scorpion, af-
ter removing the sting, in a special
sort of omelet, to which they add
peculiar sort of pepery flavor. A large
variety of locusts and grasshoppers
are dried, then cooked, by people in
portions of India, Arabia and Syria.
In India and Ceylon they also use a
certain kind of harmless snake for a
curry, and if unknown to the eater
1t rasses for one of the eel family.
Swordfish, sark, octopus, devil or
uuttlefish are highly appreciated by all
the Latin races, as well as our own
garican Indians. Appreciation for
nails is growing as we learn to COOK
ZEN here as they do in France, where
.."f have long been a favorite deli
cacy.
Chinese cooks have made us ac-
lrainted with birds nests, which
would be popular were they not so eX-
ponsive. They are built by sea swal-
lCw with a gelatinous substance taken
from sea moss. They attach the nests
t. high cliffs where it is dangerous
climbing to get them. They should
be soaked, after washing in warm
alter, in cold water over night, then
b"i'el in milk until they may be
ricrced with broom splint They are
then added to a clear soup. One for
each plate is customary, though half
a one is sometimes served.
Alligator steaks and eggs are de-
cidedly an acquired taste. The In
dams are keen after them. Frogs
STEPPED in lemon juice, Dreaded and
fried are sold in various parts of the
world, In America, however, onl ythe
legs are used. Abelone fish, a sort Of
mollusk, are dried and used largely
by Chinese. They soak and boil them,
much as the Italians do the perriwin-
kle. The shells are beautiful and have
many uses.
In Ohio the mud puppy is cooked
like the terrapin by epicures.
The trepang or sea caterpillar is
used as soup garnish in Asia. 1t is
soaked over night, then the jelly-like
mass is boiled for six hours, when 1t
is cut up and added to the soup, with
glass of sherry.
He'll bender is the almost profane
name of an edible lizard with q wicked
disposition. 1t has four short, thick
legs with pink toes, beady black eyes,
is fiat and has luxurious whiskers en-
circling the tooth length body. The
meat when cooked is like salmon. A
similar lizard Is eaten curried or bak-
cd in Ceylon.

PATRIOTIC SONGS
ABOUND IN FIELDS
Big MINISTRIES
At Fields Big Show SOmlng Here
Monday WIN Have Patriotic Spirit
In Evidence All Through.

The influence of song as an inspir-
alton to patriotism is as old as war,
and war is as old as the world
We have no record that the cave
man celebrated his exploits with rude
ballads, but when the hosts of Phar-
aoh were swallowed up in the Red
Sea, Miriam sang and the chosen peo-
pie exulted because Egyptian auto
mony had been overthrown.
The red man, who held sway>in this
country before the white man, had his
war songs and they voiced fierce chal-
lenge to his foes
In barbaric, as in civilized times,
music has played an important part
in the worlds wars and it is still po-
tent to sway the human heart. Gym
ric valor was thrilled to glorious
deeds in days of old by the soul-tir-
ring March of the Men of Harlech."
The pulse of France has throbbed
with quickeneda rhythm to the strains
of the Marsellaise. Liberty has no
finer minstrelsy than finds expression
in war songs.
Our country has its war songs, no
BILE and inspiring, The Star-Spangled
Banner and the Battle Hymn of the
Republic. The Star-Spangled Banner
in times of war stirs the soul like the
unfurling of a banner. The Battle
Hymn is like unto the irresistible on
Get of a mighty army.
The value of songs in war time can
not be over-estimated. Songs serve to
awaken the souls of the people to the
exalted height demanded by love of
country. 1t .deepens their devotion to
the cause which calls men to the col
ors.
The songs of country are the in
dex to its peoples. Who would think
of Bonnie Scotland, that the songs of
the land of cakes did not come into
mind.
America has a distinctive place in
the song history of the world The
songs of the Southland will ever live
and the minstrels who popularized
them will ever hold a place in the af-
fections of all.
AL G. Field has made a study Of the
folklore songs of this country. The
classical compositions in many of our
highest class musical organization
are in a measure being supplanted by
more modern music. Mr.. Field has
always made the popular music Of the
day the basis of his minstrel produc-
tions. The universal popularity of the
AL G.. Field production is due in a
great measure to the popularity of the
musical program and the excellence of
its singers.
