Pekin.—Seven bodies, four of them
said to be those of members of the
Russian imperial family, arrived
Pekin from Harbin Friday and were
buried in the Russian cemetery out-
side the city wall. The whole pro-
ceeding was veiled in secrecy, even
the Russian legation receiving scant
information of the circumstances.
The bodies were declared to be
those of Grand Duke Serge Michaelo-
vitch; Prince Ivan, husband of Prin-
cess Helene, daughter of King Peter
of Serbia; Prince Igor, brother of
Prince Ivan; Grand Duchess Eliza-
beth, a sifter of the late empress, and
three servants who shared the fate of
members of the royal family when,
it is judged, they were killed and their
bodies thrown into a coal mine near
Perm. The discovery of the corpses
was said to have been made by a com-
mission appointed by Admiral Kolchak
last summer.
It is believed the transfer was
brought about by General Dietrichs,
1 the Kolchak commanded, it being
| hinted that King Peter completed the
arrangements.

“DANDERINE”
Poetry in ancient Greece was ac-
campanled by the cithara and the
lyre, while the flute was played by
both men and women In furnishing
martial music to the soldiers In :lme
of war. Musical bauds marched to
war with the soldiers and playeci on
flutes, pipes and harps.
The lyre and the harp were pre-
ferred by the Greeks for private use,
for It was thought they did not pre-
vent one from remaining master
himself, while the flute, pipe or clari-
net put the man beside himself and
obscured reason. There were exten-
sive choirs whose music was distinct-
ly connected with the religious life
of the people. These choirs were com-
posed of both men and women and
were employed for public and private
religious festivals.
The choirs celebrated victories in
war, deaths, holy days, births and
marriages. Alkman, who lived as
early as 650 B. C„ wrote a choir song
for girls which was a dramatic part

some even had as much as a shilling

One Monday morning Mrs. Oates

pence to pay In. On his return for
dinner the good lady asked to see
his card.
“Look here. Tommy,” she said stern-

Tommy grew pale as he saw that

“Yes, mother,” he stammered,
