Points of Physical Training.

Ex-Judge Horace Russell-I have a library of
books on the art OF exercising and hygienic
gymnastics. Every day manage TO take long
walk, and in my Office have Dowd's apparatus
for indoor exercise which frequently use. One
of the most interesting articles I have read
lately about health and exercise was written by
Julian Hawthorne and entitled "Hygienic
Morality" / was so delighted with the sound
sense and practical advice contained in the
article had it struck off into convenient
pamphlet form. 1t told how to improve ones
physical health and strength without ever
touching dumb bell, or pulling weight. 1t
may not be generally known, but running is
healtbful exercise. Few people ever run, ex-
cept those going into regular training. 1t will
not do to over exercise.

A Thorough Musical Training.

A Young Lady Singer in Society-When
J was II years old 1 Joined the Rubenstein
Club and the Metropolitan Musical Society, and
sang in these two organizations tor several
years under theidelusion that was a sweet and
artistic singer. But 1 always had difficulty in
getting nv notes TO come out full and clear.
Surely said. Il must have good and
artistic method else I would never be per-
mitted to sing in these artistic societies." One
day sang before noted vocal teacher in this
city and I learned to my dismay that my
method was execrable and my voice fast verg-
ing toward a mere chest echo. This vocal
teacher informed me that for several years
had been doing my best to ruin my voice. 1 re-
signed all the societies and clubs and put myself
in the hands of this noted teacher, paying 500
quarter for two lessons a week Of one hour
each. was forbidden to sing anything but ex-
ercises. In three months my voice had i'm
proved considerably, and in six months had
new voice and an artistic finish which aston
ished my friends l do not wish to disparage
the Rubenstein or any other musical society.
but my advice to young girls who have voices is
not to join singing club until they have had
thorough musical training.

Learning Poems by Heart.

Sidney Woollett elocutionist-The way mem
ory can be trained is by constant exercise. 1
know 13 of Shakespeare's plays and Tennyson's
idyls by heart. besides volume of miscella-
neous poetry. My process was simple; went
hard to work and learned them by rote. Some
times 1 would read ten lines over carefully
several times and then attempt to re-
peat them. : If failed I would keep at
them until ! knew the lines perfectly, then
would try ten lines more. By memorizng
ten lines at time thoroughly had little
trouble to repeat an entire poem of thousand
lines or more. My favorite way of mem morizing
is while am walking. Often have walked Is
or 20 miles repeating long poems like "Miles
Standish." "Enoch Arden" and Elaine" 1t
somehow comes natural to me to memorize
while walking. I seem to remember better
what have conned. Shakespeare's plays are
difficult to memorize because the author has
SO many striking lines and SO many original
characters. Naturally it is more difficult to re-
cite dramas than poems If happen to make
the slightest mistake in reading my lines hear
from it, so am careful to know what l recite
perfectly.

Humor in the Revenue System.

Special Agent Internal Revenue-The Inter-
nal Revenue system is more or less farce. L
am on duty in New York, and every day the
absurdity of the revenue system IS made ap-
parent. There is big liquor firm that will
hsve'to undergo big expense. just on account
of the peculiar system Uncle Sam has adopted.
This firm has large vat, or tank, capable of

grant the revenue stamp for SO many gallons
of blended whisky. You see. several different
brands of whisky are placed in q tank and
allowed to remain six months or year to un-
dergo the blending process. Well, because the
tank did not have one or two gallons more
had to refuse to accept it, and ordered the firm
to Immediately fill the tank or get rid of more
than half of it. The revenue system is indeed
peculiar, and would make the groundwork Of
comic opera.

DeIsarte and Common Sense.

A Disciple of Delsarte-I believe in Delsarte.
but many of his followers, especially in Amer
lea. are cranks of the first water They like to
be ridiculed and abused, no matter how, SO
they get publicity. They talk about grace. har-
mony and beauty. and yet they are holy scare
crows in dress. and in attempts at what they
grace. They rail against the high collar worn
by dudes. and say it prevents graceful bow.
Now know that many men who are not dudes
wear high collars because they have long
necks. Nothing SO ennobles and beauties a
long neck OF the stringy order as high collar
II the long necked man tried to be graceful
and winning in a turned down collar he would
be ridiculous. just like a woman who is thin
and bony attempting to be beautiful by ex.

the name of Delsarte than he ever conceived

Pneumatic Tubes for the Mails.

Postmaster Van Cott, New York-The ques.
tion of pneumatic tubes to facilitate mail de-
livery in the city has been discussed. 1t will
come in time, but not just yet. All of the
branch stations in the city could have pneu-
matte tubes to the main office. and instead of
sending the mail down by slow delivery wagons
the tubes would bring it down in less than a
minute. The mail for delivery could be sent to
the branch offices in few minutes time 1t
would certainly mean gain of several hours
time each day. The Utopian postoffice of the
future will have pneumatic tubes. and hun
dreds of facilitates which are now lacking. But
l DO not think that any instrument or device
can ever be Invented to distribute mail. EN-
plOyes will have to read the superscriptons,
and of course, CELEBRITY in distributing depends
upon them. Pneumatic tubes are costly. Thus
far those In use are small and not capable of
carrying moro than three or four leaers at a
time. A tube to do efficient service would have
to be large and capable of carrying at one load
a good many pounds. 1t will take millions of
dollars to institute a pneumatic tube service
At present think the system Of rapid mali de-
livery in this city is as fast as any that can be
devised.

Culture of the Human Voice.

Culture OF the Human Voice.
Baroness Anna Won Meyerinck, sister Of
the great German sculptor Hofmeister-
Tight lacing is great enemy to the human
voice. No woman can ever attain great
fame as lyric artist who laces so tight she
can scarcely breathe. The blood must cir
culate freely in every portion OF the body II

necessary 10 know something about physlo-
logy. For some time I have devoted my
time to voice culture, and find that young
girls not only ruin their health, but their
chances of becoming great by tight lacing.
1t may seem Incredible, but some women
have actually deformed their anatomy by
putting themselves in the wise of q corset.
The human voice is not natural in tone
when the blood is bad. Healthy exercise,
good, wholesome food and plenty of sleep
are necessary to keep singers voice to its
natural tone. Bathing is necessary, but
not to excess. am almost amph1blous and
delight in cold water bathing.
My father was an officer in the German
army when was quite girl. He was sta
toned at Potsdam, and every morning, even
during the winter, used to take plunge
into large tank of cold water. 1t became
question as to whether the soldiers should
bathe in cold water every day. Everything de-
pended on the surgeon. He happened to meet
me one day. and 1 told him I bathed every
morning in cold water. THAT settles 1t; the
soldiers can do as much as a young girl" and
he gave orders for them to battle daily. Do not
stay in the water too long. The hygiene of the
voice should be studied with the hygiene OF
health.
