LEARNING TO BREATHE. terer has diff
Guilty in producing vocal sound The
stammerer has the power of producing
vocal sound whenever he wishes, but he
fails to properly articulate words. A
stutterer has no trouble in articulating
words, providing the vocalizing organs
act normally. In one sentence, stutter-
ing is a refusal of the voice with perfect
organs Of speech, but stammering is a
defective articulation caused by habit or
imperfect organs of speech.
The first exercise of this method is Ii
simple calisthenics-an outward, for
ward and downward movement of the
arms. This develops the muscles of the
chest and upper part of the body, but is
Of even greater Importance in giving
the will of the pupil a stronger COM
mand over his muscles. If he can COM
mand the movement of these at will be
is in better trim to attempt control over
the refractory ones which cause the de-
feet in his speech.
After this exercise has been repeated
several times the pupil inhales deep
breath, goes through the movement
once and then exhales with as much
evenness of force as possible. The next
exercise is designed to give hexibility
to the respiratory muscles and strength
en- and aid in the control of the dia-
phragm. The pupil draws in long
breath, places his hands upon his sides,
with his arms akimbo, and then gently
swsys his body to the right, left, forward
and backward.
Another exercise renders the muscles
of the throat and neck more flexible.
The pupil slowly bends his head from
side to side, forward and backward.
Besides these simple movements there
are many more that are used in obstin-
ate cases. Health lifts, rope and weight
chest expanders and various movements
such as placing the palms of the hands
upon the wall and slowly letting the
chest come in contact with the wall and
then pushing it back into an upright po-
sition.
After these have been finished the
pupil takes his first respiratory exercise.
This consists in placing the hands upon
the sides of the abdomen, as is shown in
the first illustration earlier in the arti-
Gle. This posture is designed chiefly to
fix the pupils close attention upon the
absolute necessity of breathing slowly,
strongly and evenly from the diaphragm.
As is shown in the accompanying illus
tration the learner places his finger and
thumb upon the sides Of his throat, so
that he can feel the vibration of the
vocal chords and the action of the
iarynx, and by this means correct any
tendency toward unevenness which may
exist
After sounding the vowels the pupil
Is taught to afix the various conso-
nants TO each sound, as a-ab, e-eb, o.
Oh, ETC.
Then he prefxes the consonants, as a
-ba, e-be, o-bo. etc.
These are gone over several times
until the pupil is ready for his first ex-
ercise in vocalizing a sentence. This is
accomplished in the following manner.
Take for example the first line of one of
Longfellow's poems:
stood on the bridge at midnight
When this is vocalized il sounds as
follows:

correctly produced tones of the person
who has heretofore spoken in a nervous,
spasmodic manner give him self-confi-
dence.
While speaking or reading do not give
way to any nervous habits of the hands,
feet, eyes or any other party of the body,
such as wringing or twisting the hands
or fingers, fumbling watch chain, pick
ing at clothing, moving the feet, shrug.
ging the shoulders. shutting or winking
the eyes, etc.
Look the hearer squarely in the face
and talk directly at him.
Do not avoid any difficult words. Say
what you originally intended to say in
the way you originally intended to say
1t. Keep up your pluck and patience,
and say the words II it takes an hour to
get through them.
For those who have time the exercises
should be practiced two hours a day.
OF course one hour is better than no
practice, but that is the least time that
can be used with profit to the learner.
With practice and patience pupil
should be able to overcome his defective
speech in period varying from six
weeks to three months.
These are the three things which en-
body all that these exercises are de-
signed to teach. These three things
must borne in mind, not only in the
study, but constantly throughout the
day. They are:

Defects In Speech Corrected.

According to the census of 1880, out Of
the entire population of the United
States there were 250,000 men, women
and children who stammered In their
speech.
Years ago this defect in the action of
the vocal organs was thought to be ir-
remediable. OF late years those physi-
clans who devote their talents to the
cure Of diseases Of the mind and the
nervous system have discovered that 1t
can be cured and that it Is simply
nervous habit that can be overcome by
training.
The New York Herald gives its
readers all of the details of one of
the best known of these systems OF
training, so that any one who is
afflicted with this distressing habit may
be able, by following the exercises
shown in the illustrations and the ad-
vice which accompanies them, to over
come his vocal defect without the ueces-
sity of putting himself under the care
of professional trainer.

state The purpose Of tho convention, ~
announced IN the call recently, is for the
mutual protection Of the legitimate trade,
and to enforce the principle that the whole
sale and retail branches Of the lumber bust
ness are separate and distinct; and to re.

their efforts to infringe upon the rights OF
retail lumbermen. A. w. Starbird was
elected president and II. Rogers secretary.
After the appointments Of committees the
convention took recess.
Visiting lumbermen were gwen Q ban
