HOME LIFE AMONG RED MEN.
Plalnn Indians Have Little Idea of
the
Refinements of Civilization.
It was storming' hard and getting
colder, and I was ahead setting the
pace, when, about three o clock Tnat(
afternoon, J. came upon a log hut, ana
two trails that bore away in different
directions, writes C. W. Whitney', in
Harper's Magazine. I' wish I could
have photographed the scene which
slowly materialized from -out of the
darkness as I stood on the earthen floor
within the cabin while my ?yes grew
accustomed to the changed conditions.
On entering I could distinguish only
the fire in one end, before which squat
ted a couple of Indians and a squaw,
but gradually the shadows lifted, and I!
found myself for a few momenls busily
engaged in shaking hands with Indians
as fast as the new light revealed them.
It. was a. very small cabin, barely ten
feet square, I should saj with a parchment-covered
hole in the wall for w.'n
dow. and a door which derr anded a
bowed head of every visitor. I do not
know how many Indians were in that
hut, but I recalled wondering how they
arranged for sleeping, as ther-.- seemed
hardly "pace for them to sit, much less
be down. They were about to eat,
and several rabbits, suspended full
length from a. deer throng arid minus
only their skins, were tvvirl'ng and
roasting before the fire, while others
were being prepared for the cooking.
1 was not partial to rabbit, nor especial
ly happy in the. cabin's atmosphere, so
when I had warmed a bit 1 went out
side to wait for the dog brigade to
' i:omr up.
THE LIBRETTO.
It la the
Most
Important Part of an
Opera.
First and foremost the composer
must, provide himself with a frood li
bretto, says the Fortnightly Review. On
this we should say roundly the whol".
fortune of the piece depends. A good
libretto will make amends for bad
music, but good music will never make
amends for a bad libretto. If the li
bretto is light the music need not neces
sarily be flimsy. Indeed, we can prom
ise the composer that he may indulge
his most recondite vein at times with
out danger, and throughout the opera
may write iis very best and most val
ued music The libretto will correct
him when he is inclined to prose and
become tedious. It will keep him from
tripping it will be his salvation if he
lias any theories. Whatever be does the j
opera will succeed only provided that
he has a. good libretto.
In the second place he must provide
himself with a good libretto. On this
we should say roundly the wbole for
tune of the piece depends. The best
music of the world, which sounds ele
gant and even sublime in the concert
room, if by any means it could bt trans
muted into the music of the theater'
would ftillflatand meaningless if linked
with a bad libretto, so inextricably art
the two intermingled so important is
a good libretto to the. composer.
In the third place he must by all
means provide himself with a. good li
bretto, for without it ce can do noth
ing.' In the fourth place he must do the
same, and, having obtained tb.2 li
bretto, he has only to sit down and write
the ery best musip which his training
and his genius admit of, and with a
good libretto his opera will be a suc
cess. - -

CHANG'S LIBERAL. VIEWS.
Feels the Need of Foreign Aid aad Woold
' ' . Welcome It. . .
It is claimed that notwithstanding
Li Hung Chang has shown some liberal
ity of views toward modern improve-,
ment and education, he is at heart a
hater of foreigners and has an abid
ing faith in Chinese institutions and
methods of . government, says Cen
tury. He is, it is true, a great admirer
of Confucian philosophy, and remem
bering the enduring history of his peo
ple w-e can hardly wonder at his devo
tion to .the institutions which have
made that history possible '
When we call to mind the experience
China Has had with certain western
nations, it might, not be considered
strange if his attachment to foreigners
was not very ardent; but in all his pub
lie life his C3'j""t . hows that he feels
the need of foreign aid and is disposed
to give it ".proper welcome, and of all
Chinese statesmen he is the most liberal-minded
' Briil frc- from prejudice.
He is far from cla::uing that the pres
ent systen of government is perfect.
He has, in fact, urged upon the author
ities at Feking two important charger
which -look to a reform of the mos-.t
serious defects' in the system, tr-vit,
the withdrawal from the viceroys o!
provinces of. powers which should l:e
exercised only by the imperial govern
ment and such a change hi the method
of admission to the public service as
will liberalize the. examinations m?d
make fitness .rather than scholarship
the test. There are other changes
which he. would gladlj' "bring about if
he had the power; but, as he confessed
to Marquis lto: "China is hampered by
antiquated customs which prevent de
sirable reforms."

A rather amusing story is told of Ad
vocate Auret, one of the Johannesburg
reform leaders. The advocate was on
bail and was walking along Commission
er i'.treet. near the Kaud stock exchange,
with his wife, when he was familiarly
addressed by a peculiarly disreputable
looking Kafir. The astonished advo
cate inquired of the grinning native the
why and wherefore of the greeting,
and expressed his impressic.n that they
had not met before. "Oh. yes. we have,"
retorted the imperturbable, black, "we
was in Pretoria jail together, baas, we
was!" Mr. Auret felt more amused
than flattered.
