A Singers Life.

Nine. Nilsson has impaired to the Pail
Mall Gazette some interesting facts about
q singers lite. She says:
Il am obliged to go to bed as early as
possible after singing. and even on off
nights am orderedto retire as early as
convenient after dinner. You see, the
voice and the spirit must be fresh in the
early morning for practice. SO as to give
space for rest and a drive in the open air

Nine. Nilsson went on, con the much
talked of question of the earnings Of
soprani. | know YOU think the rate we
are paid IS extravaganza | have had
severe losses at times, but these have
nothing to do with the question, which
is: Are we overpaid? Now, in the first
place, non ami. we are rare, we song
birds. You can count all the soprani of
the first line on the fingers of one hand.
Now, take our kindred artist, the painter.
He is not such a rare bird as a soprano.

Spanish, English and French, and learn
a lesson in any of them with remarkable
facility. Music charms him. He ESSAYS
to sing often, and r~eproduces SO we'll the
sound of the human voice that one can
tell whose voice he initiates. His voice
and humOr are generally best in the
morning. He mimics the domestic ami
mails, canary bird, cat and rooster; whis-
ties for the little poodle, and kindly calls
the Newfoundland dog by a pet name.
The names of the family are often on his
tongue. His friendship is perpetually
particular for a certain individual, and
his fits OF revenge very violent in self
defense. He commands, exhorts and

Although he seemingly distinguishes
where there is a difference of rank, he
has very little reverence for the most
