TIE resignation OF the stoicism
which has enabled men and women to
endure what they have deemed newt
able, may now reasonably be sup
planted by a hopeful crusade against
consumption, which, If still insidious, Is
no longer shrouded in mystery. Now
that there is something tangible to
fight war may be wag ed with en-
thusiasm and even with confidence.
Not the least OF the obstacles to be
overcome will be that dull incredulity
with which many people refuse to be
warned against familiar evil, or to
believe in redemption from fate to
which generations before them have
grimly or piously yielded. The dis
covery OF the presence Of tuberculosis
in milk explains another avenue by
which the enemy may approach, and
which needs to be guarded. This can
only be done by the systematic and
official inspection OF cattle.

To do it Is to invite frozen feet, says

wool grows damp and clammy with
insensible perspiration, the shoe pinch
es the bloodvessels into sluggish tor
por. Betwixt them you have afrozen

better put thin silk, lisle-thread or
cotton stocking next to the foot, and

you can defy Jack Frost, If you are

What a Singer Can Eat.


AS to diet the girl who wants to be
a singer should avoid sweets of all
kinds. There is nothing better than
food OF the plainest kind, writes Marie
Roze in an article on "How to Pre-
serve the Voice." in the December
Ladies' Home Journal. Pastry, nuts,
almonds, raisins, pickles, rich sauses
are simply poison to a singer. All
these are indigestible, and singer,
above all people should partake OF
only that class OF food which digests
easily. Never eat closer than two
hours before you sing. l go further; il
l sing at eight O'Clock, eat at four in
the afternoon. As regards fluids, all
are harmful il taken in immoderate
quantities. Milk is good, but it is best
when mixed with soda-water or sell
tier. Wines OF any kind are injur-
ious, and cannot be too emphatic in
warning all girls who aspire to be
singers to abstain from them. have
known some of the most promising
voices to be utterly ruined by even
the smallest indulgence in wine.
Fresh and ripe fruit always makes
good diet Tor singer especially
grapes.
The voice is regulated by the health
of it's possessor, and just as she takes
care of that or neglects it will sha
make n success or failure. A good
voice cannot come from an unhealthy
constitution. If ever two things were
inseparable, they are good health and
good voice. With the former, the
latter is possible; without it, vocal
excellence is impossible.

The coming mining section of Ari-
zona is that portion of country lying
between Pierce's old ferry on the west
and Lees ferry on the east, along the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado river on
the north side. This vast mineral belt
has not as yet been prospected, and
offers a rich field to the prospector
who avails himself of the opportunity
which is now almost for the first time
presented. There are now large
number of prospectors in this locality
but the field is a vast one, and it will
take years to thoroughly prospect it.

The Chilean affair may pass away
without any serious results following,
but the trouble has served to open our
eyes to the utter absurdity of the sup
position that England could or would
ever be an ally of the United States
under any circumstances. Throughout
the whole discussion the British press
has shown a venomous hostility to the
United States only exceeded by that
displayed when we had our difference
with the South. In the face OF such
exhibitions of hostility is it not absurd
to talk of the amiable feelings which
should exist between blood cousins?

DISPATCHES from Rome leave no
doubt that his holiness, Pope Leo XIII,
is fast approaching the end of his days.
His vital energies are sustained by all
sorts of peculiar means. For example,
before the last consistory met he was
made to breathe quantities of oxygen
until it was time to appear. His phys
icians believe that his life cannot be
prolongedmuch longer than six months.
Indeed, it is quite probable that his
life is nearer its close and that he will
not see the approaching summer. AL
ready there is good deal of talk
about the succession, and it appears
that Cardinal Monaco la Valletta of
the lnquisition and Cardinal Parocchi
stand the best chance.

AuAPPY NEW YEAR.

BEFORE another issue of The sun
the year 1891 will have joined the years
gone by, and the new year, 1892,
will be upon us. The holiday season
will have come to an end, and people
will resume their vocations rs of yorc.
The coming year will be one of tri-
umph for the young ladies whose
"best fellow" has failed to find cour-
age to ask the fatal question; in other
words it will be Leap Year. The
gentler sex will assume entire charge
of all social happenings if the customs
are carried out, while man will be
relegated to a back seat-and doubt
less he will be glad to be relieved of
his duties for time.
Tomorrow many a new leaf will be
turned one, only to be soiled by bro
ken pledges ere a month has passed.
The young man will "swear OFF,
drinking and smoking and other bad
habits. while the society belle will
pledge herself to forsake the ballroom
and abandon society. Promises are
beautiful things and almost daily
made, but oh, so easily broken. So
it is with the New Year reformer. :"
He makes an avowed promise on the
first day of the year, and adhers ad-
mirably to it for few weeks, when he
drops back into his old ways again.
But The SUN did not start out with
the intention of lecturing its readers
we know how it is ourselves; for ''we've
all been there, many's the time" We
only too sincerely hope that many good
resolutions may be made and kept un-
broken during the coming year. To
each and every reader of The SUN,
and there are many, we extend the
compliments of the season. Our greet
ing is, "A Happy New Year"

The young scamp Field has been de-

he has undoubtedly salted down. One

The antagonism to religious bodies
in Mexico seems to be as intense as it
once was in France and Spain, and
later in Italy. 1t is curious fact that
in the United States, where the State
recognizes no church, the people view
with absolute Indifference the growth
OF such orders, fully realizing that so
long as religion is strictly tabooed in
Governmental affairs no harm can re.
suit from their presence. The lesson
ought not to be lost on other countries
but somehow or other in their practical
workings most of them seem incapable
OF dissociating religious from secular
matters.
