Descriptions of So.uo of the Queer Look-
1»»K Inventions from Which Clilncm
Musicians Lx tract Delectable Melody
Prices of the Musical Devices.
lhe ordinary Mongolian orchestra,
such as is to be found usually dis
pensing tunes for the delectation of the
Celestial ears at the Chinese theaters in
tins city, is composed of ten pieces, and
each player has his peculiar instrument,
on which he is an adept. lie also per
forins upon it with an apparent stoical
indifference as to the scores of his fellow
musicians.
Thoroughly to equip an orchestra
with proper instruments entails a cost
of $M.50, which amount any nervous
householder who has ever had the mis
fortune to reside within earshot of one
at practice would be willing to advance
twice over in order to have it moved on.
After purchasing the instruments play-
frsara needed, and their services vary
In price, according to ability, expertness
and reputation. The Mongolian musi
cian values his ability at from $1 to $2
l»er night, but if he has climbed the lad
der of fame he will demand from $5 to
$20 per night. \
The drum, in the estimation of the
Chinese musician, is the most important
instrument, which opinion isshared like
wise by the juvenile American. A
Chinese drum costs twelve dollars, and
has much the sumo ap[Kvtranc« as a keg
constructed of light wood, covered with
cowhide. This instrument is tieaten
with a pair of heavy wooden sticks, and
produces a booming sound, which grows
extremely monotonous when it is con
tinued for several hours.
THE CHINESE GONO.
The alarm, or taps, is a Chinese musi
cal device of peculiar construction. It
consists of a framework of wood, upon
which is set a conical top of hard wood
covered with calfskin. Projecting from
the top of the frame is a hollow square
the size of a cigar box, covered with
rawhide. Sounds are produced by strik
ing the top, which emits bass notes, and
the projecting hide covered square with
drumsticks. This tuneful instrument
costs $3.50.
Tho cymbals of the Chincso are of
hammered brass, similar in design to
those used by American bands, and costs
eighteen dollars.
Brass gongs shaped much like a tain-
borine are used by Mongolian musicians
in the makeup of their orchestra. A
first class gong can lie bought for fifteen
dollars.
A gong of concave form and of very
light weight, that gives forth a tingling
sound, is another Orchestral instrument.
It costs $2.50. Mongolian fiddles are of
peculiar construction and emit sounds
which, from a musical point of view, are
as inharmonious as the instrument is un
couth in appearance. Divested of its
strings a Chinese fiddle has tho same ap
pearance as a mallet, with the handle
long and flattened to about tin inch in
width and nn eighth of an inch in thick
ness.
In the lower part of the handle are in
serted two keys, one above the other.
To each of tho keys are attached two
strings of horsehair or catgut; tho other
ends arc firmly wound about the mallet
head. What varied and discordant
sounds are produced when the Chinese
fiddler runs his bow across the strings!
And besides the Chinese have the temer
ity to ask $7.50 for such a device.
THE BANJO, FLUTE, ETC.
The banjo of the heathen may bo very
appropriately likened to a small sized
frying pan with a very long handle. The
drum is covered with snakeskin drawn
light. Three keys and four strings com
plete the-instrument, which is sold for
five dollars.
The bass banjo is the sizo of a large
sized j!!? ~ drum and about half the
depth. Four keys aud the same number
of strings are used. Tho sum of $2.50
will buy ono for ordinary use.
A Chinese flute is purchaseable at
seventy-five cents, if of ordinary make
and without ornamentation. It has ten
finger holes and gives vent to shrill and
discordant notes, which delight Chinese
ears but grate upon those of the Cai^
casian.
In some cases Chinese orchestras con
tain several flutists, who, when together,
appear to vie with each other in the
emitting of the most dismal and shrill
turn's that ever lacerated human nerves.
The clarinet is to tho Mongolian what
the cornet is to us. Its evident use is to
add variety to the clamors of the drums
and cymbals and the discordant sounds
of flute and fiddle. It is a sort of medi
ator between all those revolutionary in
struments. and has a tendency to veneer
the discord, which apparently is the ba
sis of all Chinese music.
The Mongolian ear has become inured
to such strains, and to the child of the
Flowery Kingdom it scales of home,
tragedy, love and revenge. So long as
he does not take summary vengeance
Didn't Know It Wasn't Loaded.
A well dressed man made a bold at
tempt to commit snicide at Briggs* gun
store, in Chester. He asked to be shown
a 38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver.
The stranger examined it intently, and
then questioned Mr. Briggs as to the
method of loading it. He appeared to
he ignorant of the manner of using fire
arms. The modus operandi was ex
plained to him.
The stranger insisted that a cartridge
be placed in the revolver, but a certain
look in the man’s face excited Mr.
Briggs’ suspicion, and preteuding to
charge a chamber he handed over the
empty revolver. In a flash the stranger
placed the muzzle to his breast and
pulled the trigger. Bitter disappoint
ment swept over his face when there
was only a harmless click.
“You can’t harm yourself, friend,” re
marked Mr. Briggs, "the revolver is
empty. Givo me tho pistol.” The in
tended instrument of death was returned,
when the stranger said: “l intended to
commit suicide, and my mind was fully
made up when I entered your store,
had no revolver of my own, and I thought
1 could get a chance to shoot myself by
pretending to make a purchase. I have
laid trouble more than I thought I could
bear, but the last straw was laid on last
night If you had loaded that revolver
1 would have been a dead man now.”
Tho stranger hurriedly left.—Cor. Phila
delphia Telegraph.
Two Skeletons.
While extending and repairing tho old
buildings of the late Royal Naval school
at New Cros3, S. E., which is shortly to
lie opened by tho Goldsmiths’ company
as their Technical and Recreative insti
tuto, it became necessary to remove the
floor of the old gymnasium. In doing so
the workmen discovered tho skeleton of
a cat in close juxtaposition to that of a
rat. The bodies of tho animals were not
quite two inches apart in u sort of a
wedged shaped cul do 6ac, which was
wider at the top than the bottom, and
so preventing the cat from quite reach
ing the rat. When found, the entranco
to the hole or passage was filled up with
dust and rubbish, and there was nothing
to prevent egress of the animals by the
way they had entered except the disin
clination of the cat to leave its prey
Tho skeletons when found were more
than half covered with dust from the
floor above them, and have probably
been many years in tho position they
were found, in which position Mr. Red-
mayne, secretary of the Goldsmiths’ in
stitute; has had them carefully mounted
and photographed. A curious coinci
dence is that exactly the same discovery
of the skeletons of a cat and rat together
under a floor occurred while pulling
down some old buildings to construct
the People’s palace, which is the imme
diate predecessor of the Goldsmiths* in
stitute.—Pall Mall Budget
Julian Hawthorne Ontroired.
A small party of Philadelphia and
New York newspaper men and authors
spent Sunday at the Delawaro Water
Gap as tho guest of Mr. George W.
Childs, who entertained them with his
customary lavish hospitality. Paul B.
du Chaillu, Joseph M. Stoddart, H. B.
Gross, Henry C. Walsh and Melville
Philips went from this city, and Julian
Hawthorne, John Habberton and Nugent
Robinson came on from New York.
An interesting feature of the jaunt
was a boat nice late on Saturday after
noon in which all the guests participated
with a rather extraordinary result
Julian Hawthorne, with all his biceps,
came in last, a good two lengths in the
rear of John Habberton. It was a neck-
to-neck contest for several hundred yards
between Paul du Chaillu and Henry C.
Walsh, the African hero, however, a
conspicuous object in his white flannels,
winning by a powerful spurt—Philadel

Malaria and Broken-Down Constitution.
Wayckohs, Ga.—Dr. II. Whitehead:
Dear Sir—At your request I will state
my case. Some years ago, I contracted
malaria in its most violent foim, while
living at Newark, N. J. I consulted va
rious physicians and took numberless
preparations recommended as “sure
cures,” but it stuck to me like a brother
—or more like a mother-in-law. I fi
nally came south, and while here tried
new remedies, said to always cure ma
laria, and it sflF stuck to mo, and I you
know’ the broken down condition I was
in when I came to you. You put me to
taking your P. 1‘. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke
Root and Potassium,) and I Improved
rapidly, and ain to-day In as good health
as I ever was -in fact better. As a rem
edy for a broken down constitution it
has no equal. Yours, etc.,

Work That Never Stop*.
Upper Broadway presents a weird
scene these summer nights. The Bare of
torches, the .chink, chink, chink of tho
drill, and the swinging lanterns above
tho workmen in the trenches greet re
turning amusement seekers. This labor
goes on all night and continues all day,
the day being punctuated by dull rever
berations of the dynamiters that make
the contiguous buildings tremble. AH
this is the forerunner of Colonel Dan Lo-
inont’s cablo railway.

as jinrikshas, which are to bo used in
