Lifelong Singers.

Nobody but western man would have
had the gall to do it, but Denver re-
porter asked Patti how old she was and
il she was losing her voice. To the first
question she replied that she was born
early in the forties; the exact date did
not matter. According to the encyclo-
pedia, however, the exact date is 1S42,
making the diva 4s years old, with her
prices for singing never higher, ditto her
high notes, and she herself never more
IN demand than at present. Patti claims
that there Is no need for singers to lose
their voices at all, at least not before ex-
treme old age, and her own case almost
proves it.
tits becoming among thoughtful people
q question whether in time it will not be
possible for the race to abolish old age
altogether, as far as physical decay is
concerned. Certainly the years of youth
are frightening out, and middle age has
20 far encroached on old age already
that while there are many middle aged
persons there are few decrepit old people,
who are content to sit in the corner and
nurse their unpleasant physical ills. 1t
Is coming to be discovered that when the
human being pays as much attention to
his own body as he does to a valuable
horse, In the matter of cleanliness, food
and exercise, the body will return the
care tenfold. If he himself keeps his
spirit young, the body thus cared for
will keep him young far beyond the
usual period.
HALF the physical decline of advancing
years comes because people give up to it
in their minds, and do not fight against it.
The perennially youthful PATHS con-
illusions in her own case are interesting
and instructive. She says:
As to losing my voice, the public as q rule, do
not seem to comprehend that the human voice, IL
preserved up to certain period, VIII retain its
richness and fexibility almost indefinitely AS
you ought to know, have always been careful Of
myself, and at no time In my professional or pri-
vate career has my voice suffered from overwork
Hence, am as capable today of captivating an
audience Is was many years ago. don't use
ehas term through egotism, but because want to
% frank. expect that my voice viii be as good
p twenty years from now IL continue to enjoy

The BOX on the Platform.

At the dinner station, where we stopped
one day on certain Tennessee railroad,
almost the first sight which greeted the
eyes of those who got off was a rough
burial box on the platform, and seated
near it was an old black woman with a
handkerchief TO her eyes. When kindly
asked the cause of her sorrow she pointed
to the box and replied:

Professor Flower, of London, has been
making the evolution of the horse a
study. He leads us to infer that the
present size and strength of the horse
are largely due to his domestication and
breeding by man. In America many
fossil remains of the prehistoric horse
have been found. Fossil men of the
present and past we leave to Europe.
The fossil horses found here show that
ages ago mans most useful friend was of
much the same shape and structure that
he Is today. But ages ago he was very
Insignificant in size, the largest specimen
being only the size of sheep, the small
ct that of terrier.

The usually gallant editor of The New
York Sun makes charge against the fe-
male sex which is grave enough If true.
He says in SO many words that outside of
mere sexual morality women are often
deficient in the moral sense. He men,
tions the case of Mrs. Lippincott, the
woman forger, and calls attention to the
fact that she manifested little emotion
when her crimes were discovered. Wo-
mems notions of property are apt to be
hay, we are told, and therefore forgery
would not look SO heinous to them as it
would to man, as long as they main
tanned the one ideal of morality, which is
the chief one that the Sex knows. Fur
Their, ideas of honor that prevail among
men are not always binding upon women.
Moreover, The Sun will not be sur
prised if the "modern introduction Of
women into the business world and their
consequent familiarity with business
forms and processes" should bring forth
q new class of recruits for the criminal
army. Forgery, due to an inherit
ed disregard of the rights of property, is
frequent crime among the more clever
and sharp witted of the recently educated
negroes"
As if it were not enough to indicate
that women are deficient in the moral
sense, Mr.. Dana thus classes them be-
sides with clever and sharp witted ne
groes. If the charge be true, nothing
will SO quickly educate women in bust
ness morality as their general education
in business methods and having &C
quaintance with property responsibility.
But will the ladies of the country tame
ly submit to this charge?

The Stewart Mansion.

The most gorgeous club house in Amer
lea is undoubtedly the new home of the
Democratic Manhattan club of New
York. They have rented the residence
of the late A. T. Stewart. They pay for
the first five years 1884, year, for the
next half decade $1,000, and after that
80, 1000 year.
Thus the Stewart palace follows the
fate of all great private mansions in
America. They become either a club
house or beer garden. The grand stair
case in the Stewart house cost on the
average $1,000 to the step. The build
ing was planned before the war and
contracts signed. Then came the war.
Prices of everything suddenly went up
exiting" The contractor saw that he
could not meet his engagements. He
went to Stewart and begged off, but the
many millionaire merchant would not
release him. The contractor finished
the work at the original prices, bank
rupted himself and died broken hearted.
This, at least, is the popularly believed
story. Certain it is that Stewart spent
little time in the palace.
Millions spent on private residences in
a republic are snobbish and in the worst
possible taste. Let us have beautiful,
splendid structures by all means, but let
them be public buildings, which all the
people can enjoy.

Human nature is very kindly and good,
after all. A fund was started less than a
year ago to educate the children of
Philip WEIGH, the journalist humorist.
Cancer had attacked his tongue, which
had to be removed, but the progress of
the disease was not stopped. But WEIGH
did not give up work. For months that
heightened to years he sat at his desk in
The New York Sun office and wrote jokes
that made the world laugh, while the
deadly disease was eating his life away,
And in all that time Philip WEIGH never
wrotean unkind word. After his death the
newspaper people started a subscription
for his family, who were left without
support. With no particular effort to
advertise it, or to press its claims upon
the public, the fund grew of itself till it
has reached the generous sum of $50, 900.
The money came from all parts Of the
country and from all classes of men and
women-authors, teachers, clergymen,
business men and millionaires-few of
whom had ever seen Phil WEIGH, but all
of whom had laughed at his exquisite
humor.
