Advantages of Voice Culture.

Study of the voice embraces study OF the
entire human system. In order TO have
musical voice there must be physical
strength: hence cultivation of the body Is
of primary consideration to the vocal stu
dent.
The organs of sound are the lungs and
the vocal chords Correct standing posi-
ton is, therefore, the first thing the wise
instructor will teach his pupil II the chest
is hald erect the other organs of the body
are brought into correct position and the
lungs are enabled to do their proper work.
Upon the control of the breath depends the
quality of the voice; hence exercises which
strengthen the diaphragmatic muscles are
of the greatest value 10 one desiring mu-
steal tone. To know how to breathe cor
rectly is to know. after all, the secret OF
perfect health. Singers and orators Illus
trate constantly the value of this knowl-
edge. As rule, peorle do not breathe
deeply enough, the lungs never get hlled
with air, and as air is their only means OF
purihcation they become, when deprived OF
il, diseased.
1t is claimed by wise physicians that
there i no disease in the vocabulary OF hu-
man ills which cannot be cured by nat
ural process OF respiratory exercises.
Hence il happens that people take up voice
work oftentimes simply as a means OF
gaining health and strength. In dia'
phragmatic gymnastics breathing eNer'
cises are followed by tone producing eNer'
cises. in which the diaphragm ON the one
side. the abdominal muscles ON the other
come together like the lips Of wise, slim
ulating the stomach, liver and whole ali
meutary canal II the voice is improperly
used natures laws are defed and number
less diseases ensue. Various bronchial ant
catarrhal troubles can be directly traced t.
wrong vocal practice. From the physio
logical standpoint alone the knowledge o
the voice is indispensable to every one de
string perfect health.-Jenness-M Miller Mag

that, upon one occasion, while seeking TO

though ii is possible that the philosopher

LOVES ROSES.

In o meadow gay and lowered,
on a balmy summers day,
Walked a maid by nature lowered
With more charms than tongue can say
As her arms with flowers she hded,
Gay and childish was her air,
And her charming face was shaded
BY her curls Of chestnut hair,
In that meadow, DER the daisies
Wander two, instead of one,
And a handsome stranger ga2es
At the sweet maid he has won.
Thrice as happy is the maiden
As when with the flowers she played
An her heart with love is laden
For the idol she has made,
stll that meadow; but the roses
From the maiden's cheeks have gone;
No more gathers she sweet posies,
But she wanders there alone.
Meath her feet a daisy token
Smiles, though crushed by feet OF men;
But the sweet maids heart is broken
She can never love again.

that his favorite cat might go and come as

possessed OF any frugal habits, and
when the heirs OF tho Eaglishman who
had befrisnd-d him wanted TO have
some small dividend declared on sc-
count. Mr. Boucicault sat down and
wrote one OF MS characteristic replies
a. follows:

numerous that have no money to 81 We

day to day ON all the various lines.
James M. Ashton, attorney, and
Engineer Hendricks, of the Northern
Pacific, have notified Eddy & Gordon,
local attorneys, of this city, that the
subsidy agreed upon for extending its
route to this city must be guaranteed
! by the first of next week They write !:
/" We cannot longer delay. Personally
we regret this exceedingly, but such
are our instructions. We trust the
people of Olympia will appreciate the
situation and not criticise or condemn
the Office if the line is not constructed
into and through their city" Ger
tainly our people will not lay the
blame upon them, if their instructions
are imperative. But the transaction
shows upon what "slender threads
hang everlasting things" If the little
matter of $4,000 keeps the Northern
! Pacific from placing itself on an equal
footing with the Union Pacific, there
is some Gauge to believe that there is
cat under the meal. 1t is, of course,
best, if possible to raise the subsidy
and kick afterwards, as we will have q
right to do. There is, as we have
stated before. no inclination to place
the Northern Pacific on q different
plane from the other companies that
have received subsidies, but simply an
inability TO raise the full amount in
cash. 1t is hoped that land owners
will realize the importance of imme-
date action and subscribe the amount,
for it will be to them a god invest
ment.
