The Hygiene Of the Voice.

DIR. J. Whitefield Ward lectured in
Steinwsy Hall yesterday on the .'Hy-
giene of the voice" He briefly de-
scribed the mechanism of the human
musical instrument, and said that of all
the different parts none is so interesting
rs the larynX. In discussing the n.y.
giene of the voice, DIR. Ward said that
there are many agents which or
less influence the voice, the four princi-
pal of which are climate, dless, diet
and exercise. Change of climate will
slight delcterious influence on the lar
ynx but this influence is greatly over
estimated. All clothing should be
closely attached to the body. The pres
ent fashionable style of dress is decid-
edly unhealthy. The chest and abdO-
men are acknowledgements the lungs
and other organs TINS being prevented
from acting in . normal tanner. The
dress should be worn high in the neck,
and the sensible female artist avoids as
much rs possible appearing on the
stage in full dress. The throat should
not be wrapped in cOmforters. boas.
&C., chest protectors should not be
worn, and the feet should be guarded
against wet. Food supplies, nOurish-
ment and warmth, and the article of
diet which has the special property of
producing heat in the body is fat. The
diet of the singer should be bland as
well as nutritious. Of the different
kinds Of meat v%enison, turkey, roast
beef and lamb are the easiest to digest.
Cooked vegetables, unless too highly
seasoned, are easily digested; but cab
bage, cucumbers and such like should
be avoided. Pastry should be invaria-
bly, discarded. Dinner at noon. follow
ed bv a light tea at nightfall, is a rule
which, if rigidly adhered to, will he a
safeguard against all ordinary attacks
of indigestion. In order that acts of
singing be properly performed. it is
absolutely necessary that the stomach
be nearly empty. Alcoholic beverages
should not on any consideration be in
dulged in by vocal artists, for they de-
stroy freshness and vivacity, and pro-
duce a peculiar hoarsness and cough

ear. -
For the proper development of the
local chords, there are several rules

practised while standing upright, SO as
to allow Of free play of the lungs and

General Crook On the Indian Situatisn.

General Crook, commanding the De-
partment Of the Platte. has been inter
viewed by the Omaha Bee, and has Civ
en- a number of Interesting facts and
views regarding the Indian situation.
The General said he felt Indifferent in
reference to the transfer Of the Indian
Bureau to the War Department ; he
considered that the management OF the
Indians would always be a difficult
question, and he believed that it would
not be an easy matter 10 maintain peace
ON the Northern border and on the Up
per Missouri and Yellowstone. Sitting
Bull could not long remain on British
soil. because the British Government
there had nothing with which to supply
the Indians, and the scarcity of the buf-
falo would make it necessary for these
rowing bands to follow the game TO their
accustomed grazing ground in United
States territory, there would be
or less communication between them
and other Indians. and therefore more
or less trouble. The fact is, said Gem
eral Crook, the decrease Of the buffalo
is so rapid that the Indians will soon
have TO find some other means Of sub
~sistence, and this will finally compel
them to rely on the Government or to
commit depredatiOns along the North
western frontier. Over lOO,O 0 buffalo
have been slaughtered every year du-
ring the past ten years, and the increase
has been so much less than this that
but one result could be looked fOr-in-
eyitable extinction. The number OF
hides sent down the Missouri by traders
has aggregated $1,000 annually. and
very many are killed for food whose
hides are comparatively worthless. and.
therefore, they are not included in this
estimate. General Crook thought It
would be utterly impossible to prevent
Sitting Bull from crossing the border
into the United States, as there were
500 miles Of unprotected territory alone.
The agency Indians will be in commu
nication with Sitting Bulls forces when
thew come down, which will give the
| military two classes of Indian to look
after-fhe invaders from the North and
those at the several agencies. General
Crook left Omaha lately for the Indian
Territory on official business on Indian
affairs.

is stricter than the etiquette OF . party
of cows. There is nothing in royal
courts equal to il /; rank Is exactly set

have the precedence. 1t is said that in

The Richest Englishwomea.

MI. Thomas Coutts died, aged 81, in
1899. He did not found the house, but
he cave it the fame it enjoys. Lady
Rurdett. the mother of Baroness Bur-
dett-Coutts, was his third daughter by
his first wifs, IN e1cellent wonlen OF
very humble origin. Id left thoWhole
of kis Immense wealth. hitter pr0viding
handsomely for his daughters. to his
second wife, Miss Mellon, a celebrated
actress. and she no doubt in accordance
with his wishes, bequeathed it to his
granddaughter. Why Lady Burdett-
Coutts was thus selected has not been
explained. As soon as Mrs. Coutts was
known to have inheritedfhis prodigious
fortune she became a central Inquire In
English society. The london papers
of 1924. when She emerged from widow
hood. devotedmuch Space to her dOings:
Mrs. Coutts entertained at dinner last
night HI. X. H. the Duke OF York, the
2 Duke of Wellington, the Duke and
Duchess Of Argyll" etc., and she hg-
ures i'm half a dozen novels OF that day,
notably in Disraeli's "Vivina Gray"
Five wears later she married the Duke
of St. Adams, but a life annuity OF ESQ

600 a wear was all he or his family got
by the marriage. The lady knew full
well how TO hold the purse-strings, for
in her youth every penny had been OF
1fmposfance 30 the atruggling actress.
In the early part Of her career the
Baroness Burdett-C outts was like Queen
VictOria-to whom men in the pit OF
the theatre used tn write notes TO say
that they had caught the glance OF her
eve, and were ready 10 consent TO be-
come prince consOrts-dreadfully pes
tered by wOuld-be suitors, and a certain
Mr.. Dunn became such an insufierabie
nuisance that she had To seek a legal
.femedy.
There is little doubt that her money
has made her an old maid, but she
probably finds compensation in the fact
that it has also made her the most pop
ulsr woman in London, with which
city size has always closely identified
herself: for Lady Il. Coutts. with all
her millions, has no country seat, eX-
cept q villa, inherited from the Duchess
of St. Adams. at Highgate, in sight OF
the metropolis. Her town house Is an
immense bay-windowed mansion IN
Stratton street, a cni lie sac which runs
along side the walls Of Devonshire
House in Piccadilly. It's windows com
mand q fine view Of what is called the
Green park and Buckingham palace.
The mansion contains quantities OF
very costly objets Tarf, including .
cabinet said to have been appraised at
10000 guincas.
She e~ntertains a great deal. and gives
perhaps larger dinner parties in her
vast dining room than any other per-
son in London, but neither her dinners
nor her balls are exceptionally recher-
che. Still she sees all the most inter
esting people. She is an intimate friend
of MT. Gladstone, who in 1871 advised
the Queen to raise her to q peerage,
and he and his family passed several
weeks with her in town some years ago
| when his own house was not available.
Lady Burdett-C outts is now about
| sixty; she is tall and thin. with a very
amiable expression of cOuntenance and
pleasing manner, the latter being utter
iy devoid of the slightest arrogance or
%pretension. To whom Lady Burdett
| Coutts' enormous wealth will 20 is not
known. Her brother, Sir Robert. is a
queer old bachelor, with S2OO,OOO q
Year, but she has nephews and nieces
| who are by no mea wealthy, and who
consider themselves eminently eligible
for humping legacies.
