RUSSIAN MUSIC.
Tho Topulnr Alr Mostly In Minor
Keys Melodies That Influenced
llcctlioveii nnd Chopin
Queer Instruments.
Russia lias so distinct an individuali
ty among the nations, says St. James's
Gazette, that ono naturally c.pcct3
that its national music should havo a
peculiar and interest iig character. Ex
pectations of this kind are often disap
pointed, but in the case of Kussia they
happen to Us fulfilled. Russian music
has its characteristic coloring, its gout
dc terrain things not easily to bo de
scribed; and it has also a general char
acter less diilicult of definition. Rus
sian music is, as a wholo, melancholy,
and much of it is marked, at tho same
'time, by an unusual degreo of earnest
ness and elevation. Ono might apply
to it the words Gilbert White uses in
speaking of tho song of the blackcap:
It is full, sweet, deep, and wild. Yet
its melancholy is relieved, too, by out
bursts of a sparkling sprightliucss and
un unrestrained gayoty.
Tho Russian popular airs arc notice
able as those of Norway, of Finland,
and of Hungary for being mostly in
minor keys; other European nations
having favored tho major mode tho
Hermans so much so, indeed, that
there arc only 2 per cent, of minor
tunes among their volkstieder. That
the minor keys lend themselves readily
to tho expression of either tho abandon
ment of grief or of joy, according to
tho rate of movement with which they
are associated, is a commonplace of
musical ;esthctics. Karamsin attribut
ed this melancholy in Russian music to
the sufleiings of Russia under the Mon
golian yoke; writers of tho school of AL
Taine would point to tho landscape
and climate of the country, to the mo
notony of tho forest land, and to tho
wide, dreary plains, now frozen and
now sun-baked. Tho fact is, however,
that the Russian is one of tho mos't
cheerful of mortals, easily moved to
mirth and unwilling to depart from it;
nor is there any reason to believo his
cheerfulness to be a modern develop
ment. The general character of a nation
and tho character of its national mu
sic havo really but little relation; tho
causes which led to tho formation of a
national stylo being both numerous
and complex in their working. Anoth
er point that tho student of i'olk-niusio
should not forget is that in Russia,
owing to tho comparative isolation of
tho Russian "people" from the cur
rents of civilization, tho popular music
has not been much adulterated and iu
llenccd by modern methods, but retains
a good deal of its wild graces and its
native dress.
While tho direct influence of Russia
in the world of music has been but
small, if measured by the rank its com
posers hold, it has produced some lino
executants, and its melodies havo gain
ed a wide acceptance. Beethoven owed
something to them, and Chopin used
tho airs of Lithuania and Little Russia
freely in tho composition of his marvel
ous "Preciosities." Field and Hummel
elaborated them; Haydn did not dis
dain them, and Rossini, who took the
"Zitti, zitti" of "11 Rarbiere" from
Haydn's "Seasons," appropriated a
Russian air for tho "11 veceiiiotto" of
the same opera.
Nor are tho Russians careless of thoir
fine body of national music, with its
wealth of "occasional" songs. They
are a singing people; they have tho
musical temperament, anil their excel
lent gifts amply repay any cultivation
bestowed upon them. Horrow, with
characteristic exaggeration, declares
them to bo tho only people who know
how to sing. Their keen sense of har
mony seems the more remarkable be
cause harmonized music is a thing of
comparatively modern times in Russia,
for even in tho church nasal unison
held its own until tho time of Catherino
II., and is still siutained by tho old be
lievers. Certain parts of tho country
tho Ukraine for instance are as fam
ous for singing as Yorkshire and Lan
cashire in our own country. Tho Rus
sian vocalists are remarkable for tho
production of soft and sweet eilects,
and for t ho extraordinary depth and
volume of thoir bass voices; but thoir
soprani and tenors do not seoni to bo
above tho European averago in quality
of voice. Their ecclesiastical music,
sung by male voices only, impresses
deeply all who hear it Tho basses,
who take tho double C and D, and even
lower notes with case, are, however,
limited in compass, and it was partly
this, perhaps, that led to tho institution
of thoso singular one-note choirs, in
which cacli singer comes in upon his
particular noto after tho. fashion of a
liand-bcll ringer. A phenomenal bass
voico in tho Slaviansky choir now in
England would appear only to bo used
for a few notes. This method of divis
ion has, it may bo mentioned, its paral
lel in tho savage music of Guiana, and of
somo parts of central Africa. Among tho
poasantry there still remains a peculiar
mode of singing or chanting that is
associated with certain of tho more
ancient melodies. These tunes aro
built up principally with tho tonic and
dominant of tho scale; and when tho
other notes of the scale occur in them
they aro lightly passed over with little
sound or accent. Tho Russian soldiors'
songs, in which untrained malooprano
sing to tho accompaniment of a pedal
noto sustained by tho basses, aro said
not to bo pleasant to westorn cars. A
popular otliccr is sometimes tossed to
tho musio of theso songs; an odd way
of bhowing nflbction. Tho Russian
gypsy music is ono of tho things no
traveler is allowed to noglect, and its
famo has consequently been spread into
all lands. At present it would appear
to havo lost its old qualities, ami to
havo becotno a somewhat theatrical
commodity cooked up to suit tho do
maud for it.
Wo can get a glimpso of Russian in
strumental musio at an early date. In
51)1 somo Russian ambassadors woro
captured by the Greeks, and each was
found to havo a gultar-liko instrument
with which ho amused himself by tho
way. In southern Russia in tho seven
teontii century instruments like, tho
Greek crotala vcre still in use, as woll
as a kind of doublo flute. Tho instru
ments that aro now playod upon pro
sent only local variations of the famil
iar bagpipe, guitar, hautboy", and violin
types of tho rest of Europe; except that
in some of the stringed instruments tho
i sound is obtained from silk cords,
I ...1 l. -.- - - r 1 1... !.. ! .1....
which are UMiio.ceu iy iron mics m.ii
give forth nipathotio" tones. A
similar device to this is found in some
of tho Indian and Turkish instruments,
Russian ladies play, on tho whole,
pretty much tho same pianoforte music
as is played all over Europe; but show
a partiafity for Chopin, ami admit to
their repertoires ono or two of those
native composers to whom Rubinstein
has lately introduced us. Their songs
aro accompanied at times upon a small
angular based guitar. Perhaps the
most curious feature of Russian instru
mental music is found in tho horn-bands
that woro instituted early in tho last
century, and in which each player has
but one noto to sound as in tho one
note choirs. Spohr, in his "Autobiog
raphy' tells us that he heard a band
of this kind play an overture by Gluck
with extraordinary precision, and sur
mises that this result was not arrived
at without manv thrashings.
BUILDING A CHURCH.
MELONS IN MISSOURI.
Selling Them to Dcnlors Along tho
llond.
Probably there is no place in tho
United States to-day where better wa
termelons arc raised, or whero they arc
grown with less labor and expense,
than in certain counties of southeast
Missouri. The melon crop is now just
at its height, and this delicious fruit is
passing our doors daily in car-loads.
One of tho stations from which much
of this fruit is shipped is Rortrand.
which is on tho Cairo branch. It Is not
an uncommon sight to sou as many as
fifteen or eighteen cars on tho siding
waiting to bo filled with melons. Tho
country around Rertrand is a rich
sand v "bottom,' and melons oftentimes
grow to halt tho size of men. All tho
farmers of that locality raise more or
less melons, and all of them invariably
do well with tho crop. All tho molous
shippod from that station go out in car
load lots. A car usually holds 1,;(00
melons, and the growers sell thorn to
middle-men, or dealers, at from $50 to
$125 por ear-load. Tho first fruit that
is put In tho markot sells at about $125,
or a little less than 10 cents each, wliilo
later in tho season it drops until some
times they oven sell as low as $-10 por
car, or !1 cents each. Tho freight on a
car-load of melons between Bortrnud
and St. Louis is upward of $30, or in
the neighborhood of 2 cents a melon.
Dealers from all parts of tho country
Hook around tho locality whero melons
aro sold at this season. Speculators
out of a job try to make a few dollars
out of tho crop by buying up tho fruit
in car-load lots and selling it along tho
road. From Rertrand tho melon crop
is shipped by local freight. Tho spec
ulator, for instance, starts out of Rer
trand with two cars of melons on routo
to St. Louis via Poplar Blutr. The
train stops at every station for livo
minutes to half an hour to load and un
load freight. Dealers at all tho small
stations understand the kink, and aro
at tho depots as tho "local" comes in.
Perhaps the melon-ear is back a quar
ter of a mile from the station. Rut
they rush back and aro not long in
finding tho man in charge. If a deal
is made at all it is made mighty quick.
This is about as tho conversation be
tween buyer and seller would read
were it roportod verbatim:
"What you got?"
"Peerless and mountain sweet."
"How much?"
"Sixteen an' quarter."
"Good."
"Second car-load. Rest all ripe."
"Twcnty-livu of each. Quick bell
ringing."
And" out tho watermelons lly. Per
haps by tho time tho lift' melons are
all on tho train has started, and within
live minutes from tho timo tho train
pulled in fifty melons changed hands,
tho cash is paid, and away tho train
speeds, while tho melons aro picked up
and taken to the stores whero they aro
retailed from 20 to 25 cents each.
Many ear-loads that aro shipped in
this wise aro dealt out along tho lino at
small stations to local dealers, the fruit
novor reaching tho city where destined.
Poplar Bluff Citizen
A Story About Maud S.
Mr. Hill, of tho Chicago National
Humane Socity, tolls tho following
story: "When Georgo Stone, of Cin
cinnati, found that a Kentucky mare
which ho had purchased was a very
speedy animal ho hired a man to train
her. Tho man was cruel to tho maro,
and he made but little headway in de
veloping her speed. Sho brsoaino ob
stinate and ugly, and not only refused
to work right of tho sulky, but was
vicious in her stable. Luckily this
blundering, cruel trainer was discharg
ed and illiam Bair employed in his
stead.
"Bair at onco reversed tho tactics of,
his predecessor, and began to treat tho
maro with kindness, tsho quickly re
sponded with better behavior, and in a
short timo became alVectiouato and
obedient. Whereas her former master
was afraid to go into tho stall unless
siio was securely tied. Bair taught her
to pick apples out of his coat pocket.
As soon as man and beast had estab
lished these pleasant relations good re
sults began to appear. Tho mare's
speed developed rapidly, and sho wsu
soon able to make tho famous record
of 2:lOL A year or so more of cruel
treatment and Maud S. would have
been ruined. Cincinnati Sun,

To thoso ncquaiuted with our Institutions, It is hardly necessary
to say that tho Invalids' Hotel nnd ftirgical Institute, with tho
branch establishment located ut No. (I Now Oxford Ktreet, London,
Knglund, have, lor many years, enjoyed tho distinction ot being
tlio most largely patronized und widely celebrated Institutions in
tho world for the treatment nnd euro of thoso nncctions which
urlsofrom youthful indiscretions nnd enileioii8, solitary practices.
Wo, muny years ngo, established a special Department lor tho
treatment of theso diseases, under tho management of somo of
the most skillful physicians and surgeons on our Stuff, In order
that all who npply to us might iveclvo ull the udvuntages of a full
Council of the most experienced specialists.
Wo offer no apology for devoting so much
nttentlon to this neglected class or diseases,
believing no condition of humanity is too
wretched to merit tho sympathy nnd best
services of tho noble nrolepsion to which wo
belong. Many who buffer from theso terrlblo
diseases contract them Innocently. Why uny medical iiinn. Intent
on doing good mid ullevluting suffering, should slum such cases,
we cannot imagine. Why any one should consider it otherwise
than most honorable to euro tho worst cases of theso diseases,
wo cannot undcistand: and yet of all tho other maladies which
atlllct mankind there is probably nono ubout which physicians
in general practlco know so little.
Wo shall, therefore, continue, us heretofore, to treat with our
best consideration, sympathy, und skill, nil upplieuuts who uro suf
