CHAPTER ".
A Prima Donna,s Throat.

Mime. Pauline Lucca recently submit
ted her larynx to examination by the
laxyngoscopist, DIR. Frederick Fieber,
who has sent an account of the examine
ton for publication to the Nei0 Free
Press. DR. Fieber is of opinion that
the natural conformation of the mouth
accounts in large measure for the won
derful manner Nine. Lucca possesses of
raising and dropping her voice alter
nately. The sound waves are naturally
strengthened In SO favorably shaped o
space. Moreover, the muscles of her
palate appear to have acquired enviable
strength and pliability by long practice.
The larynx is strong and well shaped ;
its several parts are marvelouRly deval-
.oped and perfect. The true strings are
pure snow white, and possess none of
that bluiah tinge which is common among
omen. They are shorter, too, than DR..
Efeber has otherwise observed among vo-
caLsts, but they are stronger in propor-
ton, and amply provided with muscle.
While at rest they are partially screened
by the false strings as soon as a tone ID
struck, however, they display themselves
in their full breadth and strength. "a
good bit OF the windpipe is visible
through the CLOTHS, showing the Rings
plainly through the pale red membrane.

The Way PaMnbrokers Flourish.

Few of our readers are probably aware
Of the immense extent to which the poor
in this city make use of loans from the
pawnbrokers' shops. There are in New
York and Brooklyn some 400 of these.
The They ~ advance @ to 9TH tie a poor nen during each uI
year some $4,OOO,OoO These loans are
usually for thirty days, and the rate of
interest is from to 10 per cent. per
month. The article pledged for the loan
is usually three times the value of the
sum lent, and is very often never re-
deemed, owing to the distress or poverty
of the person borrowing. IF the interest
is from to 10 per cent. per month, it
viii be seen that the pawnbrokers make
some 100 per cent. on their loans, or
about 81, 000, 600 annually from the poor
and it is not improbable that they get as
much more from the sale of articles

n teVOlting Story from the Land of Wooden
Nutmegs.
A horrible story of misery, incest and
death comes from Lyme, Connecticut
There Is evidently fine field for mis-
slonary civilization there, If half of this
disgusting recital is true:
1t has already been stated that by the
burning OF house in this town, few
nights since, two of the seven children of
the owner-one Daniels-who had to flee
Tor their lives, were frozen to death
mas Just come to light. Daniels had for
bldden his children, who had suffered In
ms absence for the necessities of life, to
make their condition known to the
nelghbors, and SO deeply were they in
fear OF his threats that they dared not
seek refuge In the house of neighbor !;
but when the house was burned, huddled
In clump of cedar bushes. None of the
nelghbors knew of the fire till morning,
and when they went to the scene they
found the body of one girl, ID years of
age, frozen stiff to theic Her chemise,
her only garment, had been torn off by
the younger ones to keep themselves
warm. All that remained of the garment
on her person was the yoke, and part of
this, with portions of the skin and flesh,
renamed on the ice when the body was
removed. Another child was SO badly
frozen that it has since died.
ga still more terrible part remains to
be told. A daughter of Daniels, II years
old, was one of the party saved, and, with
her was found clasped to her bosom, her
babe - months old. The father of this
babe, it is asserted by the town authori-
ties of Lyme, Is her own father. Daniels
has fled for parts unknown.

1,.a panaltr of Catching colds.

W. vapt,,re Ii, question the necessity
of the greater part OF the illness that
arisea from colds. Why should people
have colds at ala Unlike many other
f7iaeases. it is well understood how they
arise all the conditions and causes that
produce colds are continually pointed
ont by phy4icians they are easily meas
ured and recognized, and can as easily
be guarded against. All that Is required
is due forethought and cautlon-tore-
thought and caution that extend 10 the
condition of the atmosphere in the house,
the Kind of heat used for warming the
rooms. the prevalence of draughts, the
clothing worn at home and abroad the
precautions against sudden changes of
weather. the maintenance of warm and
dry feet. the protection of the lungs and
other delicate or susceptible parts OF the
BODY all of which are essentially con-
trollable things with every one possessing
the ordinary faculties, and endowed with
the average share of good sense If it
were penal offense to take cold If
cough arising from thoughtiess exposure
Were punished by a weeks imprlsonments !
if getting sick because OF mere lncapaclty
to measure conditions and arrange pre-
cautions were always followed by legal
penalty and loss of espectability-
catching cold would soon be among the
Hlost arts" There is no use OF having
Judgment if we do not exercise it no
use of brains II VIC cannot employ fore
thought in so simple a thing as this. In
nine colds out of ten the victim has been
too stupid to take advantage of former
experience, too torpid to understand the
nature or necessity of preventive meas
rres, and too dull to detect the palpable
circumstances out of which the cold has
come. A child learns not to fall down
stairs after two or three experiences of
the kind not to burn his fingers in
the CRATE after once testing the quality
of hot Goals and hot iron but adults go
on getting colds from causes that repeat
former blunders with a perversity that
is simply amazing. p21leto,a's .Jo,Q7aal.

Subsisting on Potatoes, Salt, and Tea.

A correspondent of the Utica Observer
writes from Remsen, Oneida county, to
the following effect concerning the hab-
its of life persisted in by citizen of that
place, without days deviation, for a
period of about sixty years ''The in
dividral referred to is maiden lady,
between seventy and eighty years old,
and resident adjacent to this village
from her early childhood. There are
differing theories, and probably for the
reason that but few, if any, survive who
knew her as child, accounting for her
truly remarkably abstemiousness. Be
that as it may, she has, during the whole
time indicated, partaken of no food or
nourishment save roasted potatoes, salt,
and tea, while all the time in the enjoy
ment of sound health. Her long life has
been one of activity, industry and use
fulness. She is lady of culture and
refinement, and possessing abundant
means, and is benevolent, discreet, and
liberal in her charities and though, ow-
ing to the weight of years, she is not
erect in form, with the exception of o
recent injury resulting from fall, is
now as hale and hearty as is usual to one
of her years

Wood Seasoned with Salt.

It has been found by long experience
that immersion In salt water while wood
is seasoning prevents or retards its de-
cay In Holland, where active ship
building has been carried on for eentu-
ries, this fact is universally admitted and
utilized. Other maritime nations have
also known and taken advantage Of it.
H is found, too, that piles sunk in salt
water last for an unlimited time. Ex-
ternal causes of decay may be neutral
lied by painting the wood, but against
the internal dry rot this is Ineffective.
In order to prevent dry rot, wood mus
be subjected to treatment when season
ing, and salt seems to be the most avail
able of the simple and cheap antidotes.
Even after dry rot has commenced ID
timber, immersion in salt water checks
the decay and preserves the remainder
of the wood. 1t 10 said that in the salt
mines Of Hungary and Poland the gait
leries Are supported by wooden pillars.
which last unimpaired for ages from
being impregnated with salt.

The Drought in New England.


For six months the people of the
Eastern States have been complaining
of want of rain. Mills have been COM
PEELED to shorten working hours, farmers
have been put to much extra labor to OBJ
tain water for their stock, and in many
towns water has been sold by the barrel.
One farmer in New Hampshire, it is said,
has 500 barrels of cider, but no water;
and in another town farmers house
took fire and the flames were extinguish
ed by throwing cider upon them, water
not being obtainable. The Boston
Herald is inclined to blame the people
for this lack It says: es In the last cen
tury New England was pretty well
covered with trees, and the rain that fell
soaked into the ground, ran slowly dowr
the valleys and finally reached the ocean
Now the land is stripped of trees; the
hills, and mountain regions, even, where
the sources of our rivers are, have been
barred to the scorching rays of the sun,
and nearly two-thirds of all the rain that
falls evaporates before it reaches the sea-
board. This has dried up the streams
into brooks, the brooks into mere
rivulets, with dusty bottoms, for months.
This has ruined many of our trout
brooks. This, too, by causing the sud
den departure of the SHOWS in spring,
causes many destructive freshets. In
the thick Maine woods the gradual
melting of the snow lasts for-weeks and
keeps the rivers at a high pitch, while
the streams whose head waters flow from
country stripped of trees rise and fall
with the suddenness of mountain brooks
after shower. The reckless improvi-
dence, due to cupidity and carelessness,
which has made SO much of our territory
a hideous expanse of ragged, rocky,
worthless fields, is the cause of our
droughts- Improvidence must bear the
blame, not Providence"

The Strangest Of DueIs.

Perhaps the most remarkable duel ever
fought took place in 1908. It was pecu-
liarly Frenah in its tone, and could
hardly have occurred under any other
than a French state of society. M. lie
Grandpre and AI. le Pique had quar-
rel, arising out of jealousy concerning
lady. They agreed to fight duel to
settle their respective claims and, in
order that the heat of angry passion
should not interfere with the polished
elegance of the proceeding, they post
poned the duel for month, the lady
agreeing to bestow her hand on the sur
vivor of the two, if the other was killed !;
at all events, this was inferred by the two
men, If not actually expressed. The du-
elists were to fight in the air. Two bal
looms were constructed exactly alike. On
the day denoted LIE Grandpre and his
second entered the car of one balloon,
LIE Pque and his second that of the
other it was in the garden of the
Tuileries, amid an immense concord of
spectators. The gentlemen were to fire,
not at each other. but at each others
balloon, in order to bring them down by
the escape of gas and, as pistols might
hardly have served this purpose, each
aeronaut took blunderbuss in his car.
At the given signal the ropes that retained
the cars were cut, and the balloons
ascended. The wind was moderate, and
kept the balloons at about their original
distance ofeighty yards apart. When half
q mile above the surface of the earth. pre-
concerted signal for firing was given. NJ.
le Pique fired, but missed. III. le Grand
pre- fred, and sent ball through LIE
Pique's balloon. The balloon collapsed,
the car descended with frightful rapidity,
and LIE Pique and his second were dashed
