Tho singers ouarering Voice.

Many singers, especially young singers,
fall into the habit of using the ''tremolo'
or "vibrato." The former is, as the word
implies, a trembling of the voice, and
may be dismissed as simply vulgar. and
different footing. 1t is impossible to pass
n sweeping condemnation 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 it does
not arise from an unsteadiness due to
straining the open tones in large theatres
and music halls it would appear upon
analysis to be an exaggeration of the or
binary vibration which is essential to
every well produced note.
1t enables the singer to obtain much
greater power, a desideratum 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 exaggerated extent that it is
sometimes difficult to tell on what note
the singer intends to dwell. The voice is
swayed backward and forward instead Of
resting on the note, and this eXaggera-
ton produces n most unpleasant sensa-
ton on n 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 singing causes; and yet her
singing is always spoken of with en-
thusiasm by the entire press.-Long,
mans Magazine.

Sides are chosen by the leaders and
lines marked out about a spears throw
apart. This distance varies with the
size and strength of the players, thirty
yards being n fair average. Each player
has a blunt wooden spear about the shape
of n billiard cue, only not so small in
proportion at the smaller end. 1t is
shaped in such a way that when balanced
on the finger and then grasped it will not
be held at the middle, but at a point a
little nearer the larger end. A jereed
player must possess skill in two ways
he must be able to hurl this spear far and
true, and also to catch a spear, when
thrown at him, as it goes by.
This sounds more difficult than it
really is. The player lodges as the spear
approaches, SO that it will shoot past his
sidc-the right side, if ..possible-and
then, as it passes him, he sweeps it in
with his hand and brings it down to the
side, reversing it SO as to throw it back
again, all in n moment. The object of
the game is for one side to drive the
other side back and occupy its line. But
it is not SO rough a game as this purpose
would seem 10 imply. Not half so many
accidents occur as in baseball, and it is
o nearly SO rough as football, since the
object of the game can be attained very
easily and quickly by throwing the spear
over the head of your opponent; for then
he has to run back and pick up his spear,
and that not only weakens the enemies
line, but gives them, for the time, one
less spear thrower.-St. Nicholas.

Let n person, especially over 60 years
of age, after a brisk walk enter n church
''vestry" which perhaps has not been
aired for nearly a week, the walls clammy
with the frozen perspiration of the last
crowded service, and then sit down
where some chilling draft will play upon
him the whole evening, there is great
danger of bad results. No man in five
hundred has the skill to properly heat
and ventilate a public hall or church.
To ride in a cold, damp, poorly ven
tilated horse car is also a constant source
of danger, especially to elderly people.
Some writer affirms that every time
people sit with their backs to a window
they look into their own collins. This
being the case, we are compelled to look
often and long into those dreaded re
ceptacles as we ride to our suburban
homes.
For q person who has been hurrying
about the streets till in a p~erspiration to
get into a winter horse car and ride three
or -four miles is to tempt pneumonia.
Think of frail persons in this condition
sitting down where the cold currents of
air dance a reel of death up and down
their spinal columns for nearly an hour.

NEVER yet has any one of the associate
justices been elevated by the death OF the
chief, says the Omaha Herald. Since the
organization of the court but seven men
have held the distinguished place. John
Jay of New York, who served from 1889
to 1895, was the first. He was followed
by John Rutledgc of South Carolina,
serving one term in 1895, but retiring
from lack of confirmation. Connecticut
furnished the next, Oliver Ellsworth,
whose term lasted from 1896 to 1901,
when the famous John Marshall of Nir-
ginia was appointed, to be succeeded in
1885 by Roger p. fancy of Maryland.
Mr.. fancy served twenty-cight years. In
1864 came Salmon p. Chase Of Ohio. who
died in Office in 1873, President Grant
appointing Morrison R. Waite the follow
ing year.

s~tephcnson,s idea Of Rapid Transit.

Stcphenson's idea OF Rapid Transit.
When Stephenson, the inventor of the
locomotive engine, started out, he
thought that an engine could not be Il
except by an expert machinist, who
understood the machine scientifically,
and, ut the same time, was a practical
engineer, and could, if necessary, make
little repairs on the road. He took his
nen from the machine shops. They
worked all right, bat were terribly aris-
tocratic; worked with kid gloves on, and
would not associate with common work
men. They could not be induced to
wipe an engine or do any work but just
the running of it. Pretty soon it seemed
rs If they owned the road.
Then Stephenson called his board of
directors and said this would not do.
He said: Let us train our own men.
After a fireman had served for n few
years he knows how to handle an engine.
Let us put them on as engineers, and
after they know that trade they will be
useless for anything else; they cannot
make their living any other way" And
it is IA fact. Outside of his engine this
kind of practical engineer is the most
helpless creature on earth. Stephenson's
idea was carried out. But the Legislature
got weary. Parliament thought that it
was not safe to intrust that class of men
with the running of engines and with the
lives of their passengers. A committee
was appointed and an investigation or
dercd. Stephenson, of course, was one
of the witnesses before the committee.
In his testimony he said: Gentlemen,
the matter is simply this: The public de-
mands rapid transit. If l put a man on
an engine who knows all its workings he
will refuse to work it hard enough to
make the necessary time. He will not
run the risks. We have to put on men
who do not know the engine as thor
oughly. They do not know the risks
they run, and they will make the time
required. Chicago Times.

Mr.. George Van Duzer, of this city,
has presented to the Grand lodge
library a portion Of the collar worn by
Abraham Lincoln at the time of his as
~sassination. Mr.. Van Duzer was present
at Ford's theatre on that fatal night, and
relates the following incident:
The army under Gen. Lee having sur
rendered to Gen. Grant a few days pre-
viously, Secretary Stanton, on the 18th
of April, 1865, telegraphed to Governor
John A. Dix to stop the draft, as it was
considered that the war was virtually
over.
At Ford's theatre, Washington, on the
ssOur American Cousin was being
enacted. In the scene just before the
fatal shot of the assassin, a garden settee
was standing on the stage opposite the
presidents box. Mary Meredith Zone of
the characters of the play), followed by
Lord Dundreary with her shawl thrown
over his ARM, came upon the stage, and
the lady took a seat upon the settee.
CHANGING over first ono shoulder and then
the other, she exclaimed:
"My lord, will you please be SO kind as
to throw that shawl over my shoulders2
There appears to be such a draft here"
Lord Dundreary Immediately replied
"You are mistaken, Miss Mary, there
is no draft. The draft is all over"
The president instantly saw the point
and laughed very heartily, as did the
entire audience, who arose and cheered.
In a few moments more the assassin had
done his work and a nation was in tears.

rHE PLAN.

An extract from a book on Ireland is
going the rounds of the press which reads
rather strangely in the light of some
Transporting local events. The extract is
as follows;
about the year 1921, while being
driven with my mother from the town OF
New Ross, County Wexford, IN the coun-
try, we came upon a crowd of people as
sembled at the foot of the hill then
known as THE New Road" In the
middle of the crowd were two common
country farm carts, with a large ''kish"
IA very large basket used for the carriage
of turf, peat, etc. in each. Seated in
each kish, packed closely together, and
not at all at their ease apparently, were
six men. Our coachman explained that
these twelve composed a criminal jury at
the then a~ssizcs in Wexford, who would
not agree to find a verdict, and so, by way
OF teaching them to behave better
in the future, they were ordered
by the judge to be carried to
the bounds of the county;!so the unlortu-
nate jurymen were put into these kishes,
and, with an escort of constables, were
iolted from the town of Wexford to New
Ross, and 50 on to Mountgarret bridge,
where the river Barrow divided the coun-
ty from that of Kilkenny, the next
assize town on the circuit. Having
reached the bridge. a distance of twenty
six or twenty seven miles, they were, as
we heard, then ANONYMOUSLY shot out of
the carts like a heap of Goals or a load of
sand, and left to find their own way to
their respective homes, some of them liv-
ing IN the barony of Forth, beyond Wex-
ford"

Lately l have read all the How I Was
Educated and Books That Have Helped
Me papers, and l have noted how, in
the majority of instances, the great writ
ers and thinkers of today were confined
in their childhood and youth to compare
lively few books. These they read till they
were learned almost by heart. And by so
doing they not only got out all, or nearly
all, that was in the authors, but insen-
sibly acquired a good literary style. An
author whose entire meaning and pur-
pose can be grasped at one reading is not
of the highest class, and the more we ad-
vance in life and in culture, the more
pleasure do we find in our ~favorite au-
thors. They respond to the improve
ment in ourselves. The more powers of
appreciation we possess, the more do we
find IN them to appreciate. They never
disappoint us, but are constantly reveal
ing new thoughts and previously hidden
meanings.
The student alone thoroughly enjoys
books. Remember this, you skimmers
who are not too confirmed in your bad
habits, and you readers who would really
enjoy the wisdom of our best friends.
Bear with me if repeat, sit is better
not to know 50 many things than TO know
so many things that are not so."-Julian

INFANTILE
SKIN DISEASES.

Our oldest child, now six years of age, when
an infant six months old was attacked with a
virulent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary
remedies falling, we called our family physician,
who attempted to cure 1t bnt II spread with
tion of the lit G fellows person, from the middle
of his back down to his knees, was one solid
rash. ugly, painful, blotched. and malicious. We
had no rest at night, no peace by day. Finally
we were advised,t to try the CUrICURA REME-
DIES. The effect was simply marvellous. In
three OF four weeks a complete cure was
wrought, leaving the little fellows person as
white and healthy as though he had never been
attacked. In my opinion your valuable remedies
saved his life, and to-day he is a strong, healthy
child, perfectly well no repetition of the disease
having ever occurred.
