QUESTIONS AND ANswERs-FrOn Noah's
Times and Messenger for this week, we take
the following questions and answers
Query:-About how long will it take to learn
French sufficient TO be able to read and write
correctly, with proper book, when the differ
ent sounds are obtained from a teacher! Also,
is it absolutely necessary to possess thorough
general knowledge of its partSs Are there any
books which you would recommend for any SUI
periority in style of teachingS
Ansrer:-ln from six to twelve months, it
you are Indefatigable. You cannot in any
length of time, acquire an available knowledge
of spoken French from book or books alone.
You need actual conversation and practice with
French people. A good knowledge of English
grammar will assist you, but thorough scien-
tiic acquaintance with it is not absolutely ne
cessary. Any elementary bOok-Olendorfs are
generally preierred-will serve your purpose,
provided you associate constantly with those
who speak the language.
QUeTy:-Do you know of any course which
young man whose voice is rather light for a
stage can pursue to make it heavier? My voice
is strong, and will stand heavy playing, but is
too light for tragedy.
14nSacer:-If your lungs are not by nature or
ganically defective, you can, by proper culture,
deepen their tone several notes. The first
means towards such end is the development
of your general physical strength; for an in
crease of any organ is pro rata an increase of
all the others OF course, such exercises rs
strengthen the chest have more direct bearing
on your immediate object; and you will eSpe-
cialy find that good run daily-the morning
to be Preferred-wIll have powerful effect in
giving volume and depth to tho voice. Begin
with moderate length, and at reasonable
speed, both of which you can prudently increase.
For indoor employment, IN reading select passa-
ges OF grave import, the language of which is
pregnant and weighty, such as the tragic speech
es and dialogues in Shakespeare. You will also
| lind capital declamatory exercises of this kind
in the speeches of Burke and of DCniel Web
| ster.
Query:-I am employed by the year, but
there are no papers drawn, and draw my sala-
ry weekly. If my employer at any time dis
charge me, could hold MIN to his agreement?
| AnStcer:-YOu could and, under a recent
enactment, could call him to the stand, or ap-
pear Yourself, to prove the agreement.
Query There is widow, tenant of my
house; she is quiet, but disreputable. What
means can take to have her moved, she having
hired the premises for year, and given good
references?
-Ansuer You do not state in what manner
your tenant is "disreputable." Unless there arc
overt acts, amounting to what is technically
known as constituting a nuisance" you cannot
on mere inference, disturb her peaceful posses
sion of the premises
| Query:-WilI you inform me what the public
has to do with the separation of man and wife
| AnSper:-The public through its representa-
tive, the law, is custodian of the morals of the
community; and the separation of man and
wife Cooking to their human nature) involves in
their future much that morality cannot but
watch with profound interest. The law, also,
i'll view of the tenure of property and its vics-
STUDIES of title, as well as in view of death aud
the changes of prOpfietorship that death super
induces, is slightly particular as to the offspring
| of parties born before and after separation.
