CHIlDREN'S VOICES.


Valuable Hints Concerning the Ways in
Which They Should be Cared For.
Parents and teachers have much to
answer for in permitting young girls
to force their uniformed voices at school
exhibitions. How melancholy it is to
hear little girls singing songs that re-
quire understanding and the vocal cul-
ture of mature voices. The voice when
forced beyond its capabilities, if it be
not utterly ruined, often becomes dis
agreeable at the time when it should
be delight. Mothers should impress
upon their daughters that the voice
should never be forced either in speak
ing or singing. Better that a girl
should never recite or sing in public
than that her voice should be. rough
ened or forced. No matter how much
girls sing, they ought never to sing be-
yond half the power of which they are
capable. There are girls with strong
musical feeling, who can sing ford
operate music as the birds sing. In
cases of this kind the singing is not to
be suppressed, but to be kept within
bounds. No matter how wonderfully
a girl renders for1tari passages, do
not encourage her to force her voice.
A girl may be taught to read music
pari-passu with her primer, but vo-
cal cultivation rarely ought to begin
before the sixteenth year. The divas
who have delighted the world with
their ''golden tones of melody have
seldom begun their regular vocal in
struction before this time Patti, for
example, could correct any falsely
sung operate passages at an extreme
ly tender age, but her musical educa-
ton did not begin till she was past the
age of fifteen. Frasini, whose Won
derful powers were lost to the public
by her marriage to one of the Wurtem-
berg Dukes, could sing whole operas
at very early age, but she was not
allowed to sing with the orchestra I'M
til she was fifteen, in order that it
might be determined whether she had
sufficient talent to cultivate for the
stage. When she sang ''Sonnambula"
| with marvellous accuracy giving the
| forststri pure and true. it was decided
that she might receive vocal cultiva-
ton. In singing ballads or other music
within the range of young girls
voice, impress upon her the necessity
| of expression and distinct articulation.
Before a song is learned let the singer
read it aloud, giving it the same shades
of expression as if it were an elocution-
ary exercise. In this way a correct
moth I'D will ha formed ard tr.,ya on;ov
ment impaired. III it is not possible to
take singing lessons the voice may
often be improved by singing the scale
with a gradual crescendo and diminuen-
do ON each note. Great benefit may be
obtained also by simply singing the
ascending and descending scale with
half the voice power.-N. z. Aaver-

CORN FOR THE slLo.

4 a
How to Plant Corn Intended for Green
Feeding or Ensiiage. 2nsI M
The approved method of growing
corn to be fed green, to put in silos, or
to cure for dry fodder, is to plant in
drills sufficiently far apart to admit
plenty of air and sunshine for the
growing plants, and to allow thorough
cultivation one way. Harrow the
ground with slanting tooth harrow -
soon as the plants begin to, come up
and until they are several inches high.
Then cultivate as for crop of ears; all
the better if the hoe is afterwards used
to cut out the weeds. The old way Of
sowing corn broadcast has few adTo-
Gates nowadays. The plants are less
vigorous and the amount of fodder Is
considerably less per acre and inferior
in all respects to that grown, BY the
method here indicated. AS feed for
dairy stock those who know most shout
it hold ensilage in high esteem. Mr..
Geo. G. Smith, an extensive dairymaIl
of ST. Adams, VT, said before the fifth
Ensilage Congress that twenty-five acres
of drilled corn produced in 1885, SIX
hundred and eighty tons Of green fod-
der. This was all put in silo. For
six years the cows on this farm have
been fed entirely on ensilage in winter,
except the usual amount of grain, and
the effect on the product of the dairy IS
of the happiest character. The butter
from the milk of cows thus fed ranks
with the finest in the Philadelphia mar
ket, in texture, color and fragrance,
and is free from the slightest possible
faint or odor of ensilage. Many Ill
constructed silos have given poor en-
silage, which had a bad effect on ,botR
the dairy product and upon the cows
themselves. But it is argued that tins
is nothing against the principle OF TOD
der preservation by the silo. AS al
readers know, this system OF fodder
preservation was first brought to pub-
lie notice by Mons. Gofart, of France.
several years ago. To Mr.. Morris, o.
Maryland, we believe, belongs the
credit of introducing it into this conn,
try. The system as Americanized ana
improved seems destined to be OF won
iderful service to .dairymen and stock
feeders. Among plants for the slio
the succulent stalks OF indian Corn
stand foremost. Prairie Fdsnsers

THE LATEST MARVEL.
An Ingenious Apparatus Which Prints
Music as 1t Is Being Played.

An Ingenious Apparatus Which Prints
Music as 1t Is Being Played.
An apparatus has been invented
which, when placed in electric COM
munication with pianoforte or other
keyboard instrument, prints the music
as it is being played. The machine Is
driven by clockwork. When in motion
band of paper is drawn through the
machine, and during its passage Is
ruled with the staff lines and passes
under a number Of small marking
wheels, which correspond to the keys
of the pianoforte, and it is here that
the music is recorded The notation In
which the music is recorded is not the
ordinary one When a note is de-
pressed on the keyboard, which is in
connection with the recording machine,
the corresponding wheel will begin 10
mark, and the length of the line made
will be in proportion to the length Ut
note. Thus, if line quarter of an
inch in length represents a quaver, a
line an eighth of an inch will represent
a semi-quaver. This system of nota-
ton is easily translated into the ordin-
airy notation by any one who under
stands the latter. The connection with
the keyboard is obtained by a pin fixed
under each note, which dips into small
cup of mercury. This arrangement ia
NO way interferes with the touch of the
key-board--N Y Post.

How q Hotel Clerk Subdues His Wicked
and Terrible Temper.
81 stopped at country hotel in Ar

known travelling man, land, behind the
clerks desk, l noticed rope hanging
from rafter. The rope had a knot on
the lower end, and at first / thought
that it must be used for lynching pur-
poses. While was bordering, man
came down stairs, approached the
clerks desk and said:
"'Why in thunder didn't you send
that pitcher of water to my roomp I
ought to maui you
'sThe clerk took the end of the rope
in his mouth, chewed it moment or so
and, in cordial voice replied:
ut was an oversight, my dear sir.
Will attend to it at once.
"A few moments later another man
came up and said:
".I want to know if I am to have a
fire in my room? If you don't intend
to have one made, say so, and I'll waltz
you all over this house.
'sThe clerk seized the rope again
and chewed it. Then, turning to the
frowning man, he replied: You must
really pardon me, sir. / will 60 up
and make the fire myself
's'What astrange man your clerk is, ,
said to the proprietor of the hotel.
"' He is a great philosopher, the pro-
prietor replied. DO you know what
he would have done had he not
chewed that roper
".No.'
"'Well, he would have shot those
men. When man gets mad he grits
his teeth, and then finding no satisfac-
ton, he adopts violent means. Some
time ago fellow, just for mischief,
slipped behind the desk and cut the
rope; and then, before the clerk had
noticed his loss, the fellow made some
complaint. The clerk wheeled around,
grasped the air, and then in rage
jumped over the desk, seized the Of
fender and almost killed him.
"'He is remarkable man.
