Forcing fIle Nolce.

During the summer Of 1881 young
man, splendidly built. caiied on me,
having previously demanded an up
poiutment, explaining that he had my
advice to a,kin amatter OF paramount
Importance to him. lie asked what
he should do under the following cir
cumstances. He was the happy pos
SCISSOR of very sweet tenor voice, of
which he gave IN instant proof. lie
was recommended to 20 to a certain
Italian singing master for the purpose
Of developing the strength Of his voice.
This gentleman recommended him to
take hold of the back Of a chair with
both his hands, and then, pressing on
it as hard as he could, to shout with
all his might. Did think that was
the right way to go TO work? Ire
piled that if his object was TO break
his voice lie would undoubtedly reach
that object by so doing, otherwise
could not imagine any good It could
do. Such murderous ignorance ! really
think ought to be brought before the
court. because either intentionally or
unintentionally that young man would
have been deprived Of what he had to
make a living from. lie is now en-
gagged and sings at theater Of not too
big proportions in the sweetest way
possible, and would certainly not have
tone left in his throat had he fol-
lowed the advice above indicated. And
perhaps may be allowed at this OPP
portunity to tender the advice OF my
long experience to those who begin
singing Before all, let competent
master tell them what sort of voice
they have got. TO treat mezzo-
soprano as contralto can be as hurt
full to it as to treat il like a high so
prano. The tossit0ra that is The
principal position in which the voice
moves lis of decisive Importance fol
the singer, and it IS a well known fac
that keeping the voice in exercises 0
proper limits viii extend the faculty 0
singing lower or higher notes, which
can only be gained by well-calculate'
study.-I'empie Bar

Imprisonment for Deb, in Mexico.

Imprisonment for Debt in McXic0'
When an American settles in Mexi-
co he should be prepared to pay cash
for everything, and if he knows what
IS good for him no viii take d receipt
ell bill when he pays out money, If
he -omits these precautions he may
wake up some fine morning in debt.
In Mexico to be in debt is the worst
thing that can happen to man. In
der the Mexican law the creditor can
have the debtor arrested On the day
when the debt fails due The prisoner
in such cases is chained to a post
guarded by an officer.
At the end Of the time, if the mon
ey is not forthcoming, the mans labor
is sold to the government for 40 cents
day for as many days as will he nee
essary to discharge the obligation.
The miserable debtor is sent to the
silver mines, where he is chained to a
gang OF ielons and compelled to labor
underground. He Sleeps underground,
and never sees daylight again until he
is restored to freedom Not only do
ignorant Mexicans fall victims to this
cruel system of slavery, but foreigners
residing in the country occasionally
get caught in a tight place, and their
creditors send them TO the mines
where the majority Of them die 1T

"a love for the animal kingdom is
common to everybody, said a Sunday
school talker "Some people love birds,
others like dogs, horses, goats, etc, and
it is quite proper that they should do
so. suppose every little boy and girl
here loves some dumb creature better
than all others. Don't you my little
friends?'
All hands went up.
That's right, and am glad to see
it. 1t shows that you have hearts full
Of love for the poor creatures who
have not been blessed with reason and
other precious gifts like yourselves.
Now, to illustrate point, | am going
TO ask some little boy to tell me what
his favorlte is among the domestic ami
mails Ah, thanks This little boy
shall answer. What do you like best,

The Invention of Ink.

When ink was introduced does not
seem to have been decided. but given
the paper and the pen, colored me
dium which would show on a light
surface was 50 obvious a want, and
one 50 readily found, that there IS
no extraordinary credit due to the I'M
known inventor. 1t appears to be only
of comparatively late years that black
ink has been almost universal Roman
ink was red, purple and gold, and INKS
OF blue, green, violet and other shades
was not uncommon. 1t is said that
simple as is the combination Of ink,
I'VE possess none equal in beauty TO
that used by the ancients; the saxon
manuscripts written in England eS-
ceed in color anything of the kind
Modern ink makers will deny the su-
periority of the ancients; but VINO
shall say whether words written IN the
ink manufactured to-day will stand as
yividly centuries hence as those Saxon
manuscripts have stood? Il is diff
cult to see how the writing materials
of the present day can be improved
upon, for convenience at least, setting
aside questions of lasting inks, which
the generation that uses them cannot
settle. Paper, rough and smooth iiu-
ent inks of any color that the writer
may believe suitable to his eyes pens
as fine as a needle or as blunt as
spade, are all to be bought on every
street. The great lack of the age
seems to be ideas at once more mover
and sensible in the record of which
these serviceable materials may DC
employed. London Standard

No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs
none so triaed with by the majority of suffer
ers. The ordinary cough or cold resulting
perhaps from a trifing or unconscious ex-
