FRANK ARM.

THE breath of a chronic catarrh patient
is often so offensive that he cannot 90 into
society and he becomes an object of dis
gust. After a time liberation sets in, the
spongy bones are attacked, and frequently,
entirely destroyed. A constant source of
discomfort is the dripping Of the purulent
secretions into the throat sometimes pro-
duoing inveterate bronchitis, which in its
turn has been the exciting cause of pnlmo-
nary disease. The brilliant results which
have attended its use for years past prop
erly designate Ely's Cream Balm as by
far the best, if not the only real cure for
hay fever, rose cold and catarrh.

Some Enterprising Country House,
keepers.

IF rom the Syracuse Standard
know ladies who take a run down to New
York three or four times year on no other
errand in the world than to dine at the
Brunswick or Delmonico's. These matrors
are all housewives who are jealous of their
fame in the culinary ait. They do not make
these timed journeys merely to gormandize
over the dainty dishes which are produced
by the great chefs for the epicurean palates
of the metropolis. 1t is more practical
pretext 80 to speak. They have in view the
requirement of the freshest secrets of the
celebrated kitchens. Out of two or three
visits to the cafes they are able to fnd on
the dinner lists a half-dozen new dishes
which will add to the completeness of their
own entertainments. A little fnessing with
the walters and liberal fee or two will usu-
ally extract from the inner regions of the
best ordered establishments the desired in
formation. I am told that the cooks of the
big cafes never deceive those with whom
they deal through the walters. If the dish
for which receipt is wanted is chef d.
ouvre of the culinary master he will decline
to give its component parts and manner of
preparation with as much frankness as it is
asked. Rarely, however, do the inquisitive
ladies find it impossible to obtain all the Sc
crets they desire, even in the establishments
where the kitchens are supposed to be mac
cessible to amateurs. For long time
well known city restaurant made an oyster
patty which could not be duplicated in New
York. lady in this city is said to have
given ten dollars for the secret, and was fa-
vored only because she had frequently before
paid literally for little tips. The head cooks

COMMUNICATIONS.

TO the Editor of the Journal COURIER:
If all students of singing could realize that
the human voice is an instrument to be like
any other instrument practiced upon until
the mastery is gained, then many unfortu-
nate conscientious teachers would be saved
much vexation of spirit and good singers
would not be 80 rare.
Nearly every beginner imagines that by
the possession of good voice he hes only
to Learn music and sing such songs as strike
the fancy to be able to accomplish all that is
desirable IN vocalist. His vanity too often
leads him 10 heed the speech of ignorant pre-
sumptuous persons who tell him that he
ought to get on faster, that unless he can
sing some songs at once his teacher must be
at fault On every other inst1 Iment the
learner is willing to practice exercises and
scales before pieces come.
The human voice is the most perfect musi-
cal instrument. Tt being part of ones per-
son, it is more under control to give out the
greatest variety of beautiful sounds and 10
express every emotion. Hence it touches the
most sympathetic chords in the soul of the
listener to degree not reached by any other
music. This is often proved by the rapt at
tention in an assembly where even ordinary
singing succeeds a solo on the piano or some
other inst1 ument.
To use the voice to advantage the singer
must have the guidance of competent teach
er upon the voice. Mere knowledge of any
other instrument, as the piano or organ,
however great 1t may be, is no guarantee of
capacity to train the vocal organs.
The aim of a competent Instructor en-
braces these points:
To train the voice SO that all the tones
may become es neerly equal possible, in
other words evening the voice. To strength
en- the organ s1d correct the natural defects
of which every uncultivated voice has a share
shown by the emission of nesal or cultural
or bling tones. To extend the compass
of the voice when the pupil is young enough
to admit of it. The teacher must have
thorough knowledge of the registers il differ
ent kinds of voices; must discern the ele-
ments of the purest qualities of tone in the
voice of his pupil so that by study he can
perfect them. Then in time the of
the pupil becomes more cultivated he is en-
ablep to discern the true from the false.
The different kinds of voices, viz: soprano,
contralto, tenor, baritone and basso, each re-
quire different study on the teachers part,
as we'll as each individual voice may require
different treatment, although the renowned
vocal teacher, Manuel Garcia, employs the
same means for the union of the registers for
both male and female voices.
The requirements of a successful teacher
of singing are great natural talent together
with thorough knowledge of the mechanism
of the voice, as well as general musical ed
ucation. FANNIE G. HOWE.
