Ma'amselle Garcia had a cracked, inflexible voice. Oat of
such unpromising materials was made the great singer. She
took as her model the tone of musical glasses, and became so
expert an imitator that she often deceived her friends, by
pretending to rub the glass, and giving the music with her
voice.-.Clock's .Alusical Miscellany.
