Singing.

Singing requires of the vocal organs
functions very different from those re-
quired for speaking. Furthermore, a
good physical constitution and perfect
regularity in the functions of the organ
ism, are of inestimable value to the
artist. In the emission of the voice the
respiratory movements must be per-
formed without strain or effort; they
must be regulated so as to make the in
spiration short and easy, and the expi-
ration slow and prolonged. There is a
struggle between the organs which re-
tain breath and those which expel it;
practice, youth, and good health, are
the conditions upon which an adjust
ment must be based. In the highly
gifted artist the larynx holds its Ordi-
nary position notwithstanding the vari-
ations of intensity and pitch of the
sounds produced. Being implicated in
some of the more energetic movements
Of the tongue, it rises or falls, but to no
purpose. The larynx of the singer,
while fixed in its position, multiplies
its performance; the suppleness of all
its parts is matter Of prime impor-
tance. The vibration of the local lips
and the resonance of the vesuibule de-
termine the timbre of the glottic sounds,
the configuration of the pharynx of the
buccal cavity, by modifying the sounds
formed in the glottis, produces the tim
bre of the voice. This cannot be altered
to any considerable degree by even the
most powerful effort of the will. Pro-
fessors of singing injure their pupils by
prescribing in too absolute a manner
the mouth arrangements which they
themselves find most serviceable. Each
individual must follow Nature, and NJ
Mandl had good reason for begging
singing masters never to forget thi:
truth.-Popular Science Monthly.

Notable Career ofa Cripple.

English papers give interesting par
ticulars of the success which has marked
the life of Mr.. Walter Wren, who has
come prominently into public notice by
the great success which has attended
his pupils for their competition for the
India civil service. His prosperity is
the more remarkable as he has long
been a hopeless cripple. Recently
while canvassIng Chelsea for an cleo
ton to Parliament, MIR. Wren in the
course of speech which he made, men
toned that his condition was due to a
kick which he received from bully at
school for whom he was tagging. He
did not, however mention, all the facts.
Soon after he received the blow, it was
found that he was most seriously in
jured, and his prospects seemed utterly
blighted. He refused, however, to ad-
nit that he was beaten in the battle OF
life, and rejected an offer of e. week
which was made to him. He determined
to proceed to the university and become
coach" if he succeeded as well as he
hoped to do. At Cambridge he acquitted
himself with great credit, and since he
left the banks of the Cam for the banks
of the Thames. he has become the most
successful "crammer" of the day. He
is wheeled from room to room although,
he can walk little, his favorite position
is to lie horizontally on coach. He
married very well, and has family OF
six or seven children, and besides a
very good house in London, he has an
estate in Berkshire.

A Man Thaekeray Didn't Like.

There was one member of the club
whom Thaekeray did not like, and
some of whose failings he referred to
not giving the name of course-in the
ssSnob Papers," That person was Al
bert Smith, the author of the SCATTER
good Family" christopher Tadpole, y
etc. Mr.. Smith exhibited some pretty
panoramas of ''Mont Blanc" and the
''Overland Route TO India" and accom-
panied them with lively lyrical e:fu-
sions of his own composition. These
brought him fame and money, and this
accumulation inflated him terribly. He
talked of dukes and marquises as II they
had all been school-fellOwso or were first
cousins. He never gave them their
titles is speaking of them. Argyll
and "Breadalbane" were intended to
disclose his familiarity with these peers.
As he waxed rich, or was supposed to
have a good account at his banker 5, he
was assailed with opportunities from
poor acquaintances, and even strangers.
He therefore caused civil negative
to be autographed and forwarded to
applicants of all degrees; and he fire.
auently boasted at the ''Garrick" that
he had sent off twenty per day! This
was thoroughly snobbish. He had some
good points, however. He was upright
in his transactions. Rather than pilfer
a good joke or jokelet, which some one
In the trade might throw of in COM
pany, Albert Smith would ask politely
s'Are you going to use that bon mot?''
ssHow use it?''' I mean do you intend
TO have it published ?" 81 never dreamed
of such a thing" ''Then, if you will
allow me, will appropriate it," And
down went the jeu d'esprit into his
notebook, to be afterward worked W
for "Punch" or some other periodical
for which he wrote.-GdLa1y.

The ..I.fterary Yeller'' and the Politi.

Nobody likes to be ridiculous. We
doubt if even one of them literary fel-
lers like to appear ridiculous, even in
the eyes of a regular politician. The
literary feller is not great deal COM
forted by the fact that the regular poll
tician is intrinsically a much more RI
diculous person than himself. The
trouble is, that the regular politician is
not conscious of his righteousness,
while the other man is. The literary
feller in politics feels that he is an anus
ing object to his temporary associates
but these associates have little idea that
they themselves ever afford amusement
to the man of letters. The irony of
"The Nation" does not touch the amour
propre of the strongest man in the 4Olst
ward.
The fact is, that while the literary
feller is in actual contact with the poll
tician, he does not feel the politician to
be so extremely ridiculous. He sees
him dealing vulgarly but effectively
with people of his own stamp; he sees
that he is shrewd, prompt, practical.
The gentleman politician feels himself
at disadvantage in a primary, or eau
Gus. He may be quick to criticise, but
he may not be quick to suggest. He
comes home from the primary and
writes an ironical "article" for some
magazine; but the bitterness ofthe irony
is intensified by grain of chagrin.
1t is when the literary feller goes of
on his mid holiday, that he gets
quite straight with the politician-in
his own mind. 1t is then that the poll
tician is seen to be, with all his shrewd-
ness, an exceedingly short-sighted. not
to say woolly-brained person. 1t Is then
that he sees the politician proclaiming
upon the house-tops the thing that the
literary feller had spoken in the ear in
closets,-and had been pityingly smiled
upon for speaking. In the midsummer
holiday of 1876, for instance, he sees the
two great political parties pledged and
repledged before the country to perform
the literary, sentimental, ideal, and un
practical deed Of tying each its own
hands so tightly, that it can never again
carry out its projects by the old time
honored and familiar methods. He sees,
moreover, that the shrewdest politician
on each side knows that there is no hope
for his own party, unless the country,
by hook or by crook, can be made to be-
lieve that his party is the one most will
ling, and most able to perform what, in
moments of contemplation, must appear
to him in the ghastly light of hari-kari.
