Tonic Sofia.

We call the attention OF our ress-
iers to the advertisement OF Pro-
fessor A. c. Smytn, in another eol-.-
umn. He will commence an inc
struction class in the the tonic SOL
ia method, at the City Hail, to NOR
row evening. The system is no new
venture, although not in generaE
use here. Its practicability has bees
abundantly demonstrated, anCa
especially so in Great Britain. fhes
experience Of many thousands OF
pupils places its advantages beyond
dispute. Among many eminent
musical authorities may be cited the
testimony of Sir Robert Stewart
Mus. Doc, University Professor OF
Music at Dublin. By request of the
Commissioners of NatiOnol EdRca-
ton, he made a report on the results
of three months teaching OF classes
on the tonic sofia plan. "Tke pupils
had received three lessons of half
an hour each per week. The results

In order further to show that this
classes were able to use the staff no
tatiOn (Which nnder ordinary cir
cumstances would certainly have
not been introduced in a three
months conrse) they sang from the
blackboard. And although thss
key signature was repeatedly
changed, they sang equally
well, being fully equal to the
test. They sang at sight
test melodies written in the staff
notation by DR.. Joyce and myself."
This demonstrated the reverse OF
what is so frequently insisted upon
by those adverse to the system, in.
that pupils are enabled to readily
read from the old notation, in add
ton to the great advantages Of the
tonic sofia method.
There can be no question that thSs
opportunity now offered, at such,
reasonable terms, can be taken a6.
vantage of and be of great benefit to-
all who are so inclined. Every per-
son should acquire knowledge Of

Young HOusekeepers.

No young lady should be willing TO
assume wifely responsibilities or obllsa'
tions until she IS fully capable Of taking
charge of a house. Some sensible per-
son has said that household occupations
are in themselves az intellectual and
moral exercise Of no mean importance,
after which any lady has enough sur-
plus time for books and the arts.
We fully endorse the sentiment, and
bless the improvement 10 our female
colleges, many Of which boast a whole
some department Of domestic economy.
In the marriage outfit OF the eldest
daughter, how many mother has
been forced to the sacrifice ot her own
personal ease and comfort in giving up
her old experienced cook to relieve the
young mistress OF a burden OF embar'
rassmen and trouble that wosld other.
wise fall upon her unframed shoulders.
But even with tais admirable auxiliary
(uow almost obsolete since the exlinc
ton of sIayery). there will be oppress-
I'VE minor cares, duties and anxleties
requiring a sacrifice Of tiTe aud ease
that the mistress may not be willing at
all times TO yield unmurmuriugly
BE she ever 80 happily endowed with
that enyiable faculty Of taking things
lightly and patiently, ever estimating
little mishsps at their full cost and no
more, she will still fnd her position
one OF trial and embarrassment. There
must be regular and general method
iu everything if thrift, order and neat
ness prevail. 1t is vain TO enjoy early
rising, and economy 10 pantry and
cuisine. if the mistress be unpunctual
and extravagant, and servants are
never slow in learning that she does
not practice what she teaches.
Let 30 young housekeeper despise in
dustrial activity and a personal execu-
ton Of al the rules instituted Tor thu
general welfare of her establishment
Then and not until then, will we eel
comfort, happiness aud prosperity.
