Singing as an Aid to Health.
Boston Musical Herald


The time will come when singing will
be regarded as one of the great helps to
physicians IN lung diseases, more espe-
cially in their incipient state Almost
every branch of gymnastics is employed
in one way or another by the doctors,
hut the simple and natural function of
singing has not yet received its full need
of attention. In Italy some years ago
statistics were taken which proved that
the local artists were especially long
lived and healthy under normal circum-
stances, while of the brass instrumental
lists it was discovered that consumption
never claimed a victim among them.
Those who have 4 tendency toward
consumption should take easy vocal eX-
ercises, no matter how thin and weak
their voices may seem to be. They will
find result at times far SURPRISING any
relief afforded by medicine. Vocal prac-
tice, in moderation, is the best system of
gymnastics that can be imagined, many
muscles being brought into play that
would scarcely be suspected of action
in connection with so simple matter as
tone production. Therefore, apart from
all considerations, merely rs matter Of
health, one can earnestly say to the
healthy, ''Sing! that you may remain
so, and to the weakly, "Sing! that
you may become strong

From the narcotic poisoning, the result
of the excessive smoking of cigarettes
John Bankhead, eleven years old, died
recently in Philadelphia.
When the boy arose yesterday he COM

pains. The little fellow placed his hand
over his heart and said:
Mamma, l have got awful paia
here. Send for the doctor. | think
I'm going to die -
As the lad had never been sick before
Mrs. Bankhead was not alarmed, but
owing TO the cOrpse-like appearance of
his face she decided to summon doctor
After she had dressed herself she went
TO the boys side TO tell him OF her pro-
posed errand. She found him dead
Ten minutes after ne first complained he

IT'S ALL IN YOUR EYE.
The Growing Use of Eyeglasses as a Cure for
Various Maladies.

The Growing Use of Eyeglasses as a Cure for
Various Maladies.
''The demand for eyeglasses is con-
stantly on the increase, - said we'll
known optician to the writer, ''and the
reason for it is this: Oculists are more
skillful than formerly, and much more
is being learned about the eye People
who give attention to those things
have their eyes examined just as they
do their teeth or their finger nails, TO
see if they are in good condition and IN
order to keep them so.
There has been great change even
in the last fifteen years. More is re-
1quiTed of the optician than formerly.
He is Obliged to have greater knowledge
about the eyes, but as rule those per-
sons who fancy they ought to wear
glasses consult an occulist and receive a
prescription for glasses just as they would
one for medicine from physician. The
freer use of glasses does not come from
an increase of diseases of the eye, but
from a discovery of hidden troubles,
which ought to have been found out be-
fore.
1t is now frequently demonstrated
Shat pain in the head or even in the
stomach often proceeds from some defect
of the eyes, and an operation or the use
Of proper glasses has put the individual
III good health again. The nerves, too,
are often affected by the condition of the
eyes and people who have developed
nervous malady have been relieved by
having their eyes, so TO speak, put in
order.
''There has been a. great increase in
the number of specialists during the last
few years, and occulists and opticians
work IN together. No, do not think
there is a greater use for glasses among
women than among men, but when il
comes to loss of eyesight they are o5lgeE
to use them much earlier than men: that
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1889-08-26

is, their eyesight begins to fail when they
are much younger.
GLASSES are probably just as much
needed among the poor as the rich, but
the poor neither can nor viii pay any at
tention to their eyes unless forced to by
a trouble that is perfectly apparent. -
The opticIan was asked about the style
of glasses preferred and answered:
Everybody wishes to wear eyeglasses
without rims just now, and as plain as
possible. Spectacles are reserved for the
aged. New designs in eyeglasses are
constantly being experimental upon, so
that it may be possible to fit any nose, no
matter what its shane. -

HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES.

A raw cranberry cut in two and half of
II bound over corn is recommended as a
relief.
Individual plates for vegetables are not
used much now. Only salads are separ-
ately served. -:
Cold tea is the best thing with which to
clean grained wood. Never use ammonia
for this work.
After washing a wooden bowl dry it at
a distance from the stove, so that it may
not warp or crack.
When recipes call for cupful it means
just half pint: this amount in granu-
lated sugar weighs just half a pound.
Salt will curdle new milk; so in pre-
pairing custards or porridges the salt
should not be added until the dish is
prepared.
Red pepper pods or a few pieces of
onions, cabbage. etc, are being boiled
will prevent the unpleasant Odor.
Starch poIish-A piece Of stearine can
die, spermaceti or white wax as large as
robin IS egg will give a nice gloss. A
teaspoonful of salt to each pint of starch
will prevent sticking.
Always sift your -four when you use it
warming it a little afterward if the
weather be cold. Sitting twice is even
better than once, as you get more air be-
tween the particles.
Spirits Of ammonia is the best thing to
clean hairbrushes with, as it does not
soften the bristles like soap or soda. If
teaspoonful Of ammonia is mixed with
a quart of water, the brush need only be
dipped in the solution for a moment and
all grease is removed. The brush should
then be rinsed in cold water, shaken well
and dried in the air, but not in the sun.
! The ordinary method of scraping or
burning off old paint is hardly expedi-
tious enough for general purposes, and is
also labOriOus. Soda and quickIime are
far more thorough. The solution of half
of each is thus made Dissolve the soda
in water and then add the lime and apply
with a brush to the old paint, which
can thus be removed in a few minutes
Biting the lips frequently makes them
sore, and for hard, dry lips a little pure
glycerine lightly rubbed in at night is
often beneficial. A harmless application
for the same purpose is made of a quarter
of an ounce OF white wax with one tea
spoonful each of glycerine and mutton
suet. The wax and suet are melted sep
arately, and then the whole mass is
well mixed and turned into a mold to
cool.
