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 phia Press. Envelopes! Envelopes!!

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.

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. In the lower city other night workmen aro sinking test holes In anticipation of the rapid transit tunnels. There is al ways a little knot of more or less belated people gathered about these busy fellows In the pits. They pause for a moment and then trudge along homeward. Every thing else but the streets is shut up. Broadway is open all night—New York Herald. Jinrlk.ha. fur Chicago. There were taken out of the Chicago custom house a few days ago a lot of queer looking [lacking cases, hearing upon their exterior some peculiar hiero glyphics that were undecipherable to Uncle Sam's clerks.

They contained the parts of two of those Japanese vehicles known as jinrikshas, which are to bo used in tbo west sido parks for the amusement of the little folks. Mr. and Mrs. Woolf while traveling in Japan became so Im pressed with this kind of vehicle that they decided to bring. two of them to Chicago and two Japanese runners to draw them.—Philadelphia Ledger.
