The celebrated French baritone Faure
has just published a book combining the
results of his long experience, entitled
THE Voice and Singing" 1t is intended
for the use Of aspiring tenors and bari
tones. Not only is much instruction
given in the science of music, pure n
simple, but many practical hints OF great
value are added. Thus on the day of a
performance the artist should avoid long
railway journeys, the motion of the train
being held to be injurious to the voice.
He must also live as neal to the theatre
as possible, so as to reduce to a minimum
"the dangers of locomotion" and the
risk of taking sudden colds.
He must eat regularly, watch the man
ner in which his digestive organs per.
form their functions, avoid indigestion,
strong emotions and draughts Of air.
He must not wear any article of raiment
tightly bound around his neck, feet or
waist, in order to escape a rush of blood
to the head, and must not allow flowers
either at home or in his dressing room
at the theatre. NJ. Faure, says a critic,
in commenting on these minute instruc-
tons is not only a professor-he is n
mother, and should wrap his precious
pupils in cotton. Few. however, are
aware what a world of pains must be
taken by the aspirant for lyric honors
who would stand even the slightest
chance of success. Art is a jealous mis-
tress and brooks no rivals near her
throne.-New York Graphic.

The morning lasts till 9 o'clock, and
lunch is as informal as breakfast. The
men are still in the covers, or if some
have returned they come to table in
their shooting boots, and boast Of their
achievements. The meal is a plain din
ner; all the dishes are set on the table
at once, and it is a rigid and intolerable
etiquette that nobody shall have a nap
kin. The children of the family are
often allowed to be present, and if the
party Is not very large, they sometimes
carve for the guests, that they may
learn betimes the hospitable accomplish
ments Of after life. Sometimes gov
ernesses and tutors are seen at this hour,
the latter often very accomplished and
agreeable people; but 1 never knew them
to appear at dinner, as they do in novels,

At Florence and in the vicinity, but
more especially at Siena, it is said that
one hears the best-that is to say, the
only pure-Italian spoken in Italy. 1t is
the veritable language of Dante, char
acterized by long and sonorous words,
which, as they tumble from the mouths
Of garcons and chambermaids, astonish
the visitor who has some knowledge Of
the native tongue. II he ID untaught in
that respect, as is the case with q ma
jority Of the visitors, this wonderful
purity of speech, which in France is
only remarked in the valley of the
Loire, near Tours, Saumur and Anglers,
and in England certainly not in London,
is sadly wasted on him. He may prefer
to study the wines which are offered him
at the cafes, such as Chianti, Montepul-
ciano, Red Muscat, A1catico, Dolcepic-
can't and Verdea, or he can have the
sonorous Tuscan poured over him by the
waiter at the same time that he pours
the rich red Chianti down his throat

1t is a libel upon the American people

kind of journalism which makes the

but a public nuisance. They will insist
upon it that the newspaper have some
other purpose in the world than to amuse
and entertain the thoughtless and the
vicious; they will insist that the duty OF

the duty of collecting the news; and
