ToealteMkn Ia Crude, Bat BUlhlv Appreciated by Tholr fellow. In an address delivered in Washing ton, D. C, upon "Indian Moaic," Miss Alico Fletcher stated that the music of the Indiana ia solely and simply vocal. Their tongs are compositions which have in them nothing borrowed from instruments, nothing of artificial instigation. An Indian melody sever serves two seta of words; there is no instance where the people have a custom like our own of singing the different stan zas of a ballad to the same tune. A large proportion of Indian songs are entirely without words, syllables being used to carry the toneB. Per haps the most striking peculiarity of Indian music is the lack of definite pitch, for there is no such thing as a standard pitch among the Indians. The Indian starts his song where the natural quality of his voice and his present mood renders it easiest for him ' to sing it. A tenor will naturally sing upon a higher pitch than a baas; a soprano will differ from a contralto. The pitch of a song depends upon the individual. 'With the Indian there has never been anything we should call vocal training any drill as to pitch. Some Indians, like some white people, always sing fiat; while some Indians, like some of us, have what we call natural musical ears, and they sing in tones surprising ly near to our standards. Such Indians are recognized by their fellowa as musical leaders. They are considered the best singers, men whose services are sought and paid for on oc casions of festivity. WANTED TOUSE PLATINUM. Intanttlnt; Experiment In CotoajCA Mjula by the Rum Urn Government. "Once upon a time," said Mr. C. O. Baker, Jr., of New York, who la con nected with the only platinum refining plant in the United States, "Russia concluded to try the experiment of using platinum as a money metal, says, the Washington Post. There' is really, little of that article found anywhere else on the globe except in the .Ural mountains, in the czar's dominions) and having a monopoly of the precious stuff, the idea of using it as a coin seemed plausible. But it didn't prove a glittering success, and I have never seen any coin made of platinum by that government dated later than 1844. '"Here ia one of the samples of the Russian experiment," said Mr. Baker, taking from his pocket a piece about the size of a silver quarter. It bore the date 1630 and had some Russian characters on it signifying it to be of the value of six rubles, or about M.75 in American money. "I gave $11 for it, however," said Mr. Baker, "and its intrinsic value is worth nearly that amount. Of course, no other nation would go in with Russia and take platinum for money, seeing that no other country produced any of it to speak of, which may be a tip to koine of our silver friends. .Platinum is lower than it was two years agro, be ing worth now J10.50 an ounce, though a while back it was worth 817 an ounce. At its present price it is just about half as valuable as gold. It ia the heaviest of metals, its specific grav ity exceeding that of gold about 5 per cent., and so ductile that it can be drawn into a thread 1-1000 of an inch in diameter." HELPED THEM DIE EASY. Vanaev Leach's Indorsement of She Bog Cholera Core. "In Nemaha county, southeastern Nebraska," said Representative Mercer, of Omaha, "there lives an old farmer named Rufus Leach. The hog cholera was raging in the county and Leach's hogs were dying fast, when along came a smooth-tongued fakir with a patent cholera cure for hogs. He Bhowed Leach his goods, read him the .direc tions on the bottles, and sold him two or three bottles of the compound for five dollars. "Three, or four weeks later Farmer Leach was standing at his gate in the evening when a well-dressed stranger, who was driving by, hailed him. There was an air of desolation about the farm, a lull as of death, unrelieved by the musical bass grunts of a lotof contented hogs. . "'Good evening, Mr. Leach,' called out the stranger, pulling up at the gate. " 'Good evening,' said Leach. '"You don't remember pie, t see,' said the stranger. " 'No, not exactly,' said the farmer. "'I sold you some cholera cure for your hogs a few weeka ago,' the stran ger explained. " 'Oh, you're the man, are you?' said Leach, quietly. " 'Yea,' said the fakir, 'and, by the way, how did it work.' 'Well, said Leach, in his complacent stvlc. 'I don't know that itdonnnnv VZr ,,. UK llt.flA OBHIO ' " ' Two Very Old ladles. It is well known that women attain an extraordinary age oftener than men.
