PROM HI HI t, INDIA. c=> Vllaa Julia K. Parrott Remembers the Democrat Readers. To the editor and readers of the Democrat: There are not very many great events that occur here, and if I were to wait for them to happen in order to describe them to you I fear you would hear little from Burma. But last Saturday morning something a little out of the ordinary occurred. Our school children had the pleasure of bearing a phonograph. This is the way it happened. On Thursday afternoon while 1 was busy at work in my room I heard the loud barking of our dogs and the rattle of gharry wheels. A gharry is a covered vehicle resembling a closed carriageIt is something quite out of the ordinary for us to have visitors tn the afternoon, and I could not imagine which one of the missionaries up I town it could be. But the voice i sounded strange and I concluded it must be a stranger. So it was. He was an American, from San Francisco. He told us that he had an Edison phonograph and that be would be pleased to give us an en-i tertainment. Dr. and Mrs. Cross, | the missionaries with whom I live, > said that they thought it would not i be the wisest thing to do, to ask the Karens to subscribe twelve dollars, the sum he asked. Our Karen people, and especially the school children, are very poor. But there are ; some who are well to do. At last ! we called our Karen head-teacher, and said that we would leave the matter for him to decide. The next day he brought us almost the entire sum of money. How surprised we were. “Where did you get it?” we asked. “The Karen soldiers subscribed it,” was the \ answer. The Karens are employed ! by the English government as I soldiers in great numbers. When the Burmans, the real people of Burma, fought and rebelled against the English a few years ago, our Karens who were enemies to the Burmese, took sides with the English. Now the English invite them to become soldiers, and we have a battallion of them here. These soldiers come to our Sunday services, and there are some earnest Christians among them. But, to return, the money having been raised, we decided to have the entertainment at nine, Saturday morn ing. At eight we had our usual chapel exercises. The head-teacher, Tway 00, read a chapter from the Bible and the school sang. Every child in that building joined with heart and voice in the singing. Twav Go’s little year-and-a-half old daughter was there, and sang as heartily as the rest, as far as I could see—not hear. You are never obliged to make Karens sing. I am sure it you could be here some Sunday and hear them sing you would really be delighted beyond measure with the life they put into it and with the fine harmony. When we bad finished our chapel exercises Tway Oo told the school that we could not have our Saturday morning studies, but that a man from far-off America, where our missionaries live, was coming to show us a machine that talked. The children did not seem much affected by the news. Just as school dismissed the man with the phonograph cime. As I watched him put the instrument together I noticed only a small group of children who showed much interest in what he was doing. They came up to the table where be had put up the phonograph-, and with timid, bashful looks they walked around the table, glancing first at the large brass trumpet, then at the batteries im the floor, and finally at the machine itself. When the entertainment was about to begin, the man said that all the doors and windows must be closed. Our chapel is nearly all doors and windows. And if they had been left open the people in the back part of the room could not have heard the instrument. We all crowded close together near the front and soon the phonograph began to talk. Some of the children laughed outright, but we soon had them looking as sober as could be. Just a look was enough to quiet them. The phonograph sang songs, reproduced band music, piano seI lections, etc. Some songs were so tunny that I felt sorry for the children who wanted to laugh so much. But it is much easier for a Karen to control his feelings than for us Americans. There were Burmese songs, too, and Karen speeches. While these were being produced all the Karens bent eagerly forward and tried to catch every word. Suddenly the phonograph struck up a wierd heathen song in in the Felegn language. The Felegns live on the other coast in Hindoostan. Our old cook was the only one who understood the Felegn language, being a Felegn himself. How his i eyes sparkled when he heard his own native song. 1 fancied 1 saw tears in his eyes. He enjoyed it, , anyway. There was a mocking-

bird solo that took me back home. It seemed to me to be the best of all the pieces rendered. Some real | imitator of birds had whistled a mocking-bird’s warbling tn '' ne phonograph while its owner was in San Francisco. It sounded as nat- ; urai as life. Even our European I dogs seemed to know that that j must be a bird from the temperate zone singing. They turned their I heads first one side, then the other, I asd finally one jumped up and | barked till his ears were pulled and he was made to lie down. But he cried low to himself during the rest of the song. I must confess I felt a little like that poor puppy myself. There are few sweet songsters here in the tropics. Their notes are harsh and loud. But we have a starling called the mina which sings very much like ■ our robins at home. He looks like the red-breast too. The black mina talks plainer than the parrot. But no bird here can siug like the tnocking-biri, and the Karens thought so too after they heard our mocking-bird. When the man finished he asked a Karen to come forward and sing into the trumpet some Karen song and he would reproduce it. We; asked Po Oung Gee, a Karen coffee planter, to Sing, for he has a loud voice. He sang “Nearer My God to Thee,” in Karen. In a few mo-| raents the machine wound out his song to the great delight of all; present. 1 wish I could give you a picture of him as he stood there singing into the phonograph. I will try. A tall Karen, about five feet and ten inches, brown skin, black eyes and hair; a bright red skirt coming a little below the knees, a gray wooled jacket resembling a Chinese jacket; heavy tan shoes and dark red socks. On his head is gracefully wound a pink silk scarf in the shape of a turban. He Bings a line and the phonograph man calls out “Louder!” Po Oung Gee stops and says in Karen, “What does he say?” We call out, “Go on, Po Oung Gee, quick, quick, the machine is winding in what you say!” “I don’t understand its working,” he says. We almost get beside ourselves, and after frantic efforts he comes to understand chat he must sing on. He finishes the first verse then stops. “Why don’t you go on?” we say, “yon can sing two minutes yet.” “H >w is that?” he answers. Pa Ha, our Karen inspector of schools, walks up to him and gives a hurried explanation to him about the pnonograph and the San Francisco man exclaims, “Well! well! there is a Karen who knows something.” Then Po Oung Gee finishes his song. When the song came out 1 wish vou could Lave heard it. That first v»rse was simply ridiculous lb- second verse was in an entirely different key. But the words were plain and could be distinctly understood. After the entertainment was over, 1 way Go’s little three-year-old son, Timothy, came t»p to the table on ' which the phonograph stood and wanted to know—l will give his words for he speaks English—- “ Where’s dat man dat talked?’’ The American opened a drawer in the phonograph and' said, “In here, my little fellow, in here.” But Timothy did not believe him. The man caught hold of his dress to draw him toward the drawer, but I Timothy jerked himself away and ran to his father. When he found : himself safe in his father’s arms he | kept darting half-angry, half-fright-! ened looks at that “awful white man with no manners.” After the phonograph entertainment I overheard two Karens talk-! ing with each other about the won- ; derftil instrument. One said, “Well l these white people are most wonderfully smart. They can do everything. What will they do next?; Oh, how my heart does long to go to that great American country!” Julia E. Parrott. Toungoo, Burma, July 16, 1897.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR. The following story of the late Dr. Kidd of Aberdeen and his beadle is told in the “Humor of the Scot.” The kirk officer, it would appear, was a victim to the national vice. He had often been censured, as often forgiven, and yet again would fall into his old ways. One day the worthy doctor was confronted by Jeems, so intoxicated that all his customary caution and sleek humility had flown. In a reckless mood he challenged the burly old doctor to oome and drink with him. Recognizing the futility of trying to reason with a man in such a state, Dr. Kidd replied: “Oh, aye, Jeems! I’ll come wi’ ye, an I’ll drink like a beast to please ye.” “ Hooray 1” said the beadle. “Come along!” So they entered the inn, this strangely assorted couple, the mark of observation to many a curious eye. Jeems started to order a “mutchkin,” but the reverend doctor filled a glass with cold water and quaffed that. “Hoots!” expostulated the bacchanalian beadle. “Ye said ye wad drink like a beast, doctor." “Aye, Jeems, an so I have,” was the dignified reply, “for ye know a beast it wiser than a man an drinks only what's gude for it—an that’s cold water."
