Reaching for the High Notes.

If nature has endowed singer with the
power of producing high notes they will
be sung spontaneously. Otherwise they
will neither be agreeable in quality or tone.
All singers are not alike. Their voices are
pitched in different registers. Some are
pitched high, others low, and great many
medium. If a singer not naturally en-
dowed with high register, attempts to
sing beyond his or her capacity by forcing
the voice he or she is in danger of injuring
the voice. Any one possessed of a good
voice may by study and culture produce
higher notes than they otherwise conld
hope to do, but no professor of music. no
matter how eminent, ever created voice
where 1t did not previously exist
Great singers are born, not made MANY
singers have temporarily strained their
voices by trying to do too much. If the
voice is naturally high no matter what
the pitch may be the singing will he pleas
ant and agreeable to the ear If, however,
singer tries to do too much the effect will
be similar to man who endeavors to walk
up two steps at a time when he is only able
to make one. 1t will prove ruinous. Do
not strain your voice, or you may lose it,

Greeting by Smelling.

The respectful greeting of FIJI is to take
and smell the hand of the superior without
rubbing it, In the Gambia when the men
salute the women they put the woman's
hand up to their noses and smell twice at
the back of it. In the Friendly islands
noses are Joined, adding the ceremony of
taking the hand of the person to whom
clvilitles are paid and rubbing it with a
degree of force upon the saluters own nose
and mouth. The Mariana islanders for
merry smelled at the hands of those to
whom they wished to tender homage.
Capt. Beechy tells of the Sandwich
islanders: The lips are drawn inward be-
tween the teeth, the nostrils are distended
and the lungs are widely inflated; the face
is then pushed forward, the noses brought
into contact, and the ceremony concludes
with hearty rub. "-Garrick Mallery in

Very Old Slang.

A correspondent writes: You state the
case very mildly as to the English origin of
the so called slang phrase, too thin which
perhaps isn't slang phrase at all The
fact is, it is English from way back In
Smollett's 'Peregrine Pickle the hero in
forms Emilia that he is going abroad This
brings tears to her eyes, but he says they
are caused by the hot tea which she is
pouring. Which leads the author to re-
mark that the excuse was too thin to i'm
pose on her lover. The phrase is also found
in Shakespeare's Henry VIII, act S. scene
9, with the same meaning. New York

Psychologists theorize a good deal about
dreams, but really tell US little more about
them than does the little East London girl
WIG writes this quaint essay:
Dreams are those queer, short tales which
come into your head when you are asleep.
They are not true. If you have had good
supper they are rather longer, and not
quite so true Meat or fried fish makes
them very long.
When you have had no supper at all. you
either do not dream or else you can't re-
member them. We generally dream some
dreams over and over again.-Youth's Com
