Great Singers Care Of the Voice.

No woman has ever made such an ex-
haustive study of everything bearing on
the voice as Patti has. She reads and
investigates the subject exhaustively,
and few of the famous specialists have
rs accurate knowledge of throat by.
gienc. Her vocal gymnastics are as
much of her daily life now as when she
electrified the world at sixteen years
of age. Nor is there another person SC
excessively careful of her voice. 1t is
related of her that one night, after leav,
ing her lodging to go to the opera, she
discovered at the end of the second
block that there was tiny crack in one
of the carriage windows. Immediately
she tapped for the driver, was driven
home, and refused to stir an inch until
another vehicle was brought. Another
painstakiug student in this direction
was Nine. Albani. Her intelligence is
OF high order, and she labors unrcmit-
tingly at her profession. 1t is revela'
tion of the pumping power of the lungs
to lay ones ear ON her ample chest, and
hear the great, steady blast she sends up,
beyond the diaphragm, past the breast,
and on out of her mouth. 1t sounds
like some machine at work, ,and yet so nice
is the adjustment of the delicate me-
chanism, that at any point on its up
ward course she retains or gives forth
the force at Chicago Post.

WHIPPING HORSES.

Professor Wagner, in writing upon
the subject of whipping horses, says:
'sAIany think they are doing finely, and
are proud of their success in horse train
ing, by mans of severe whipping, or
otherwise arousing or stimulating the
passions, and though necessity crushing
the will through which the resistance is
prompted. No mistake can be greater
than this, and there is nothing that so
fully exhibits the ability, judgment and
skill of the real horseman as the care
displayed in winning instead of repelling
the action of the mind. Although it
may be necessary to use the whip some
times, it should always be applied judi
ciously, and great care should be taken
not to arouse the passions or excite the
will to obstinacy. The legitimate and
proper use of the whip is calculated to
operate upon the sense of fear almost en-
tirely. The affectionate and better ma
ture must be appealed to in training a
horse as we'll as in training a child, but
if only the passions are excited the OBJ
ject is depraving and injurious. This is
a vital principle, and can be disregarded
in the management of sensitive and
courageous horses only OF the risk of
spelling them. I have known many
horses of naturally gentle character to
be spoiled by whipping once, and one
horse that was made vicious by being
struck with whip once while standing
in his stall.

A Cat Raising Village.

The idea of village that is gi7el
largely to the industry of breeding cats
being known at New Harmony, furnishes
additional proof of the non-applicability
of some American names to towns, says
the Cincinnati Times Star.
Twenty miles from Evansville, Ind,
lies this cat manufacturing hamlet, which
is becoming known far and near as the
place where one can at any time get the
latest thing in Angora cats and the latest
quotations.
The way OF the village and its history
is as follows: In 1910 Nine. Bern
stein, a noted vocalist, gave an Angora
kitten to the hotel-keeper. AS the
aristocratic little feline grew to manhood
it had a difficult row to hoe. Its enor'
nous size and bushy tail furnished fine
target for the ubiquitous small boy, but,
despite its prosecutors, this cat grew and
finally died at the age of sixteen years,
aftcr life of unremitting sentimentality.
Could this Thomas the First arise from
his honored grave to-day he could point
with pride to a progeny SO numerous that
its members can be found in any State in
the Union.
The mixing of the Angora character
istics with those Of the mongrel cat has
produced a superior sort of animal,
whose Distinguishing tendency is an in
discriminate love for music. Quantity,
not quality, is the foundation upon which
the Angora's musical taste is based, and
he can hear even in the voluminous notes
of a wet bass drum ravishing strains that
are lost to human ears.
Hence the name of "New Harmony"
The New Harmony Angoras are the
incest, cleancst pets in the world, and
were it not for their exaggerated love Tor
music, which they crafty from within ii
the means from without fail to pan up,
the kind would speedily become uni
vcrsally adopted rs society's pets.

THE PERFECT COW.

To those who are desirous of making
up the perfect COW in their minds, we adj
wise them to begin with the udder as the
most important feature of the COW. This
rule is perfectly familiar to the regular
dairyman, who rarely troubles his head
about any other point. At the same time
the size, or even the shape, of the udder
does not determine everything, for the
teats are not to be forgotten, which
should be of full size and set we'll apart.
Nor should we lose sight of the ';twist,
which is the open view from behind.
When a cows hind legs are so close to-
gether that you cannot have a full view
Of the udder from behind, or that her
hind legs rub against them so as to make
the udder swing backward and forward,
you can depend upon it that she is not
correctly built for first-class COW. So
it may be with the other popular points
small head, thin withers, slim tail,
etc.; if they do not bear correlation to
the other points they should not count in
the make up of a fine COW. In other
words, there are many points to be con-
sidered in passing judgment on COW
that is a candidate for good work.

OLDEST OF FEMALE LOBBYISTS.

In point of service Mrs. Olive NJ.
Hechtman is the oldest of the women
now regularly engaged in lobbying In
Washington. For twenty-six years she
has been the self-elected champion,
friend and attorney of all sorts of worthy
claimants, and while she has tirelessly
labored through the years for such as
were otherwise friendless aud unsided,
she has steadfastly refused to accept any
commissions or remuneration in money
for her work. 1t is and ever has been q
labor of love, the result of good princi-
pies earnestly adhered to and bound
less sympathy for the unfortunates of our
race. 7 am credibly informed that
through her mediation no less than 1O,-
200 pension claims have been adjudi-
Gated, and that in every case the pen
sioner has been, or has been believed to
be, worthy and in need. Yet this is but
a portion of Mrs. Hechtlnan's work. She
has interested herself in behalf of thou
sands of claimants other than pensioners,
and in all sorts of reforms of the general
laws looking toward the relief of op-
pressed classes.
She knows personally more influential
men, perhaps, than any other woman in
America, and though her fame has not
gone as far as that of mary women who
work for lesser ends, but with more os-
tentation, she has probably done more,in
her quiet, practical way, for the really
needy than mcst of those whose names
are familiar to the tongues of this nation
and the world. If this be an extrava-
CANT claim, have made it in frame of
mind quite free from prejudice, for have
no personal acquaintance with the lady; I
know her only by her works, and I judge
her only by long record of consistently
good results-a record which began in
the hospitals made numerous and fright
full by our Civil War, and has been con-
tinued through the years of peace with
uaabated energy and faithfulness. Of
course, Mrs. Hechtman is in comfortable
circumstances financially. No woman
who was not could thus devote herself to
others without living by the charity of
friends.-Picayu1s.

circle OF stiff net. Sew it securely and
do not attempt to plait it to shape-it
must be gathered. One, two or three
rosettes are used and the number usually
decides the size. An eighth of yard of
velvet, cut on the bias, will make one
medium-sized rosette, and this seems to
be that best liked. Amateurs usually err
in over-trimming hat or q bonnet; So,
as straw ones are not as troublesome to
arrange as those of velvet, do not commit
this fault. If you cannot see the really
good styles in any other way, then look
at them in the milliner's window. Read
her art and, marking it, learn and out
wardly initiate. Chapeaux 'just tossed"
together always look what they are, and
the one to which proper consideration
and time has been shown is the one that
approaches the nearest to being "a love
of bonnet"

Mrs. Mackay, wife Of the California
bonanza millionaire, recently gave con-
cert in London in honor of Princess
Louise, but the royal guest never ap-
peared until As, when the concert
had commenced after long delay.
Princess Louise, who has genuine love
for music, if no consideration, calmly
begged the programme might begin over
again. Of course royal wish is always
granted, and the artists good naturedly
complied with the request. About four
o'clock in the morning the affair termi-

A Two-Headed Snake,

In September, 1867, a two-headed
snake was captured about three miles
from Bethlehem, Ky. 1t was small, only
about ten inches in length, had but one
vertebra and one pelvis. Both heads,
however, were perfect in every particu-
lar. Each head had two eyes and a
mouth of about equal size and appearance.
Sometimes it would dart out one tongue
and sometimes the other, then again both
simultaneously. The heads each turned
from the body at about the same degree,
the distance between the noses being
about one and three-eights inches at the
points. The forked heads prevented the
snake from making much progress in the
high grass, the stalks of which became
entangled between the necks.-St. Loui'
RepuJlic.
