HO,C to Breathe in Reading.
Saturday Review


M. Legouve tells the anecdote of Talma
watching the actor Dorival from the
prompter's box until he had discovered his
secret, which consisted in always taking a
fresh breath before the last one was qT.ts
exhausted, and in doing his best to conceel
the beginning of each phrase by starting
whenever he could on an O, an G, or an o
shat is to say, at the point where the fact
of the mouth being already open makes it
possible to take breath lightly, without the
action being perceived" Again Dello
Sedie, the celebrated singer, could run up
and down the scale in front of a lighted
candle without the flame wavering. "How
is this done?" It is because he employs
exactly the quantity of breath needed to
carry the sound of the notes. If you or
were to try it we should simply waste our
breath. In the chapter on 'Pronuncia-
ton" NJ. Legouve insists, and the point
can hardly be too much pressed, on the
value, the absolute need in fact, of clear
articulation as opposed to mere exertion
of voice. This he illustrates by a story of
Bouffe when he was playing Pere Grandet
in the "Fille de PAvare" "When he came
to the most touching scene of the
piece, when the old miser finds that he is
robbed, the actor began to screen out the
words as he was accustomed to. At the
end Of a few minutes the sound died away
on his lips, and he was compelled to cor
tinue in a m1rniur. What happened?
! That lie was thousand times more true
and more touching than before, because he
was obliged to make up for weakness of
voice by force Of articulation. Il is true
that one cannot speak without voice, but
voice alone has so little to do with diction
that there are readers, orators and actors
to whom the very extent of their voice is a
drawback. Unless they are skilled in ar
ticulation, the volume Of sound devours
| the sense.

Attempted Robbery of a Bride.


An incident which occurred at the we'd
ding of Miss Florence Smith to Baron Won
Friesen at the Church of the Holy Trinity
last Wednesday afternoon has just been
made known. AS the newly married pair
left the church and reached their carriage
the crowd, which was very dense, thronged
about them in its anxiety to see the bride,
and for an instant interfered with the
baron's entering the carriage after his
wife. This moment of time was taken ad-
vantage of by a rascal on the opposite side
of the carriage, who quickly opened the
door, and attempted to snatch the diamond
brooch with which the brides veil was
fastened, and which was the gift of her
newly-made husband. The baroness feel
ing the mans hand at her throat grasped
his wrist and pushed him back, and at the
same moment the baron entered the car
riage, and supposing the opposite door had
been opened by some overzealous specta-
tor, pulled it to with a slam, very badly
smashing the forefnger of his wife's left
hand. On the way to her fathers house,
No. 1918 Walnut street, the pain was so
great that the young lady momenta-
rily tainted away, and again lost con-
sciousness on reaching home. Notwith-
standing this, and the distressing fact that
her finger was so badly hurt that the in
iured nail came off as soon as it was
touched, the baroness bravely stood up for
half an hour and received the congratula-
tons of the hundreds of friends who at
tended the reception at the house

Too Much Beer.
Chambers Journal. I


1t does not by any means follow that be-
cause man is never intoxicated that he
may not be drinking too much. Men en-
ployed in the great breweries in London,
especially the draymen, consume an enor-
nous quantity of beer. The daily allow
ance which their employers give them is
very large one, but they rarely confne
themselves to that; and the draymen, in
addition, get much gratuitously from
the customers, to whom they are
always delivering the casks, SO that ten or
fourteen quarts is no exceptional consump-
ton for one man; yet they are not drunk
ards IN the ordinary sense of the term.
The very nature of their work necessitates
the employment of n enc bat steady men,
strength being also sine qua non. But if
one of these men should break limb, or
get confined to bed from any other acct
dent, he is almost sure to get delirium
tremens, and scalp wound frequently
kills him. Brewers men are notorious in
hospitals as being the worst cases for op-
Grafton, being prone to exhibit all the most
dangerous complications which fetter the
success of surgical treatment.

News has come that an Indian maiden,
belonging to branch of the Sioux on the
Oak River reserve, in Manitoba, recently
committed suicide. The chief desired her
to marry a certain member of the tribe,
who was advanced in years, but the
maiden's fancy had already been engaged
by young brave whom she promised to
wed if she wed at all, The objections
shown to the chiefs wishes enraged him to
such an extent that he insisted on the mar
riage with the cider one and threatened all
manner of punishments in the event of
further contumacy. There appeared no
possible escape for the unhappy maiden
but one, and she bravely faced it. Getting
possession of a piece of rope she managed
to slip away unobserved, and. fastening
the rope to the branch of tree in the
vicinity of the enc pment, succeeded in

The Singular and Picturesque Hammer iss
Witch She Has Shipped to Her Husband.
Stockton (Cal. } Herald, March ~.
Yesterday afternoon strange process
sion of hacks with gay colors flying with
a scent of burning spices about them drew
upat the shed of the California Steam Nav
igation company, where the steamer Mary
CARAT was loading. In the first hack was
a lone female, with her head in bundle of
bright colored Chinese silk, which con-
cealed every feature. Behind was another
hack, in which several Chinese boys rode,
each carrying a burning taper. Then
came two more hacks, both filed with
Chinese women. All alighted at the wharf,
aad the hooded woman was assisted out
and conducted on board the steamer, her
course being attended by the
boys with the lighted tapers
and the women. The woman was
so closely yelled as to be practically blind
folded. Then it was ascertained that she
was daughter of Sonora George" and
was going to Bouldin Island to be married.
She was, according to the best information
obtainable, literally ''going it blind" as
she had never seen her betrothed, who had
bargained for her with her father, and was
being sent to him according to contract.
She had been kept over by the slough, her
attendants said, for thirty days, blindfold
ed the whole time, and was to be allowed
to see no one till given to her future hus-
band. She was allowed two female attend
ants, who were eyes for her, and during
the thirty days had been wrought upon by
certain ceremonies intended to render her
especially conducive to the happiness Of
her husband in the future. Those who &C
companied her to the steamer stayed about
half an hour on board, and then were dis
missed by the BRIDES attendants and rode
back to Chinatown. The affair was an es-
pecially aristocratic one, judging from the
fancy dresses of the females of the party.

THE STORY OF 4 WIG.

RosLYN, April 1876.
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1883-04-15

HotC HARVARD COiieG lost an Interesting
Relic Of Lore. 6r0ngAham.
Boston Advertised
In 1887 Charles Sumner, being then
twenty-six years old, and fresh from his
law studies during his Harvard course,
and two years practice in Boston, went
abroad for four years OF travel. While in
England he was presented to Lord
Brougham, with whom he became great
favorite. In February, 1889, he wrote to a
friend as follows: Lord Brougham has
given me his fuIl-bottom lord chancellor
wig, in which he made his great
speech on the reform bill. Such wig cost
twelve guineas, and then the associations
of it! In America it will be like
Rabelais' gown" The wig was
sent home by Summer to Judge
Story, to whom he wrote from Germany in
1910, saying: Il am glad you have Brough-
ANS wig. always wished it
to go to the law school. Put
it in case and preserve it." This re-
quest was com piled with, and the wig be-
came one of the penates of the school.
But the biennial migration of students, the
resignation of professors, and the repeated
changes in librarians soon removed those
who knew the value of the relic, and the
wig, in its pasteboar2 box, worked its way
to the obscurity of the law school garnet.
Years passed; the death of Brougham,
in 1868, revived the faded memories of his
his eloquence ;varied learning and his won
derful career; a biographer of Sumner
stumbled on a clue to the existence
of the wig, and sought it at the Cam
bridge school. None of the then present
generation of students had ever heard of it.
The librarian remembered dimly having
found wig in dust covered box in the
arret, but he knew nothing of its origin.
A younger member Of the faculty confess
ed having worn it in former student days,
while sitting as presiding justice in moot
court trials, but of its present whereabouts
none could tell. Further inquiry proved
that the law-school garrett had been cleared
of rubbish several summers previous, and
that the wig in its dusty box had migrated
to store room in Harvard hall. To Old
Harvard, then, the searcher went, and en-
countered an aged employe of the college
who presided over the buildings in the
yard. Yes, he remembered a wig in a
pasteboard box, which had kicked about
for some TINE and had then been
turned over to one of his assistants. The
assistant was summoned and, after long
effort, recalled to his memory the fact that
he had given an old wig to his little chill
dren to play with, and that they having ex-
hausted its attractiyenees, it had gone into
the ash heap, and one summer afternoon
had been carted across Holmes field to the
hollow by the willows, and dumped into
the mass of earth and ashes which was
then being graded to form the ground upon
which now stands The north goal Of the
football field.
Further search was useless, and the wig
was left to its fate; but the future students
of the English law, as they finger the
pages of Meeson and Welsby, or Barne
wall and Cresswell, and gaze northward
from the windows of the new law building
may mediate on the mutability of matter
and the fall of Lord Brougham's wig from
the pinnacle of the wooi-5ack to the ash
heaps of Holmes field.
