THE QUAVERING VOICE.
A Pernicious Habit to Which Many Sing.
ers Are Addicted.

Pernicious Habit to Which Many Sing
ers Are Addicted.
Many singers. especially young sing
ers. fall into the habit of using the
''tremolo" or '.vibrato." The former
is, as the word implies. trembling of
the voice. and may be dismissed as
simply vulgar and offensive. The
''vibrato' stands on different foot
ing. 1t is impossible to pass a sweep
ing condemns alton upon it. seeing that
it is adopted by nearly the whole
Italian school-that school to which
we are accustomed TO look for the
proper production of the voice. Where
il does not arise from an unsteadiness
due to straining the open tones IN
large theaters and music halls it would
appear, upon analysis. to be an exag-
geration of the ordinary vibration
which is essential to every well-pro-
duced note 1t enables the singer 10
obi ain much greater power, desidera-
lum in opera singing and in the large
concert halls. and. if kept within
bounds, is not open to objection. But
some singers use it to such an exag-
gerated extent that it is sometimes
difficult TO tell on what note the singer
intends 10 dwell The voice is swayed
backward and forward instead of
resting on the note. and this exag-
geration produces most unpleasant
sensation on a sensitive ear There
is one of our leading sopranos at the
present day who will make a nervous
person with a sensitive ear fidget on
his chair from the irritation her sing
ing causes; and yet her singing is al
ways spoken of with enthusiasm by
the entire press. -Longma~'s Naga-
zine

MILK on ice, in the milknan's can or in

The practical lesson from all this is the
necessity of boiling milk or other artificial
food for children shortly before it is given
as nOurishment. This can not be too strongly
impressed upon the minds of all concerned
in the welfare of children, and the younger
the child, the greater the Importance of OBJ

microbc IS obtained from the diseased cow,
from her milk, and from patients sufferin g

stroyed by heating it to 1856 degrees
Fahrenheit. This precaution should never

DR.. Crashaw, a venerable old minis
ter of the last generation, we'll known
throughout the Gulf States for his elo-

There were two houses" he said
on one occasion. standing side by
side. when 1 was boy, in the village
where / lived. One was a shabby
frame dwelling, in which lived the
schoolmaster, a poor cripple, who re-
eeived such scanty pay that he was
barely able to keep his wife and four
children from starvation. But it was
the cheerfulest happiest house in the
village. The school-master taught his
children to work, to tell the truth and
to trust in God. At night the tired.
half-fed cripple gathered the poor boys
of the village and taught them without
charge There was plenty of drink
ing and idleness in every house in the
village except in that one. Nothing
but water ever went into that busy
hive.
Next door lived a young man, who
had been left large fortune. He was
at first intelligent and reasonable. but
he suffered himself to sink into a gross,
sensual animal. accepting only the
ideas of enjoyment which belong to an
animal. He ate and drank to excess,
and slept 10 wake, and eat, and drink
again. He flung away thousands in
vice of every kind. while his neighbor
could not gather pennies enough to
support his family in their wholesome,
helpful life. 1t was one of those phases
of seeming injustice for which men are
