What a Singer Can Eat.

AS to diet, the girl who wants to be a.
singer should avoid sweets ofall kinds.
There is nothing better than food of
the plainest kind, writes Marie Roze
in an article Oh ''How to Preserve the
Voice." in the December Ladies'
Home Journal Pastry, nuts, al
monds, raisins, pickles, rich sauces are
simply poison to @ singer, above all
people, should partake of only that
class OF food which .digests easily.
Never eat closer than two hours be-
fore you sing. go further: If sing at
eight o'clock, Ieat at four in the after
noon.
AS regards fluids, all are harmful if
taken in lmmoderate quantities. Milk
is good, but it is best mixed with So
da-water or seltzer. Wines OF any
kind are injurious, and cannot be
too emphatic in warning all girls who
aspire to be singers to abstain from
them. I have known some of the
most promising voices to be utterly
ruined by even the smallest indul-
gence in wine. Fresh and ripe fruit
always makes Il good dietfor 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 she will
make q success or failure. Agood
voice cannot come from an unhealthy
constitution. Ii 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.

A Fever-S Stricken MAORI Goes
Through Shocking Experl-
ence.
A correspondent in the native dis
trict OF Walapu draws a frightful pict.
ure OF the condition of the Maories
Fever is prevalen and it is very
saddening to see how the Maories
neglect to use the most ordinary pre-
cautions for isolation. They will per-
sist in sitting in a sitting atmosphere
in the presence of both dead and dy-
ing.
In many settlements the population
seems to have become fatal
lists, and are .resorting to old
superstitions and using incantations
and a ridiculous travesty of spirit
rapping. These influences are most
depressing, and no comfort or conso-
lation is offered the sick people, who
are sadly neglected, preparations for
the death feast often taking place be-
fore the eyes of the dying persons, says
the New Zealand Evening Post.
Harewera, an old man i'll with q
fever, was allowed to wander and fell
into a swamp. He lay there for some
time, and ate earth worms to satisfy
his hunger. He also actually bit q
piece out of his own arm and sucked
his blood. He then crawled into his
own place, fell into the fire, and soon
died.
Nuta, a schoolboy. recovering from
the fever, was allowed to wander into
the swamp, and died in two days from
relapse, and was buried without q
medical certificate.

How Do You Walk?

A shoemaker says: AS soon as a
man comes into my shop and takes
Off his shoes l can tell whether or not
he is good walker, andit is astonish-
ing to find how few men know the
proper way to step out. Ii The shoe
is worn down at the heel, not on the
side, but straight back, and the leath-
er OF the sole shows signs of weakness
at the ball OF the foot. a little greater
on the inside just below the base OF
the great toe, know that the wearer
is q good walker. Ii. however, the
heel is turned on one side, or is worn
evenly throughout, and the sole is
worn most near the toe, | know that
l have to deal with poor pedestrian.
The reason of the difference in posi-
tion OF the worn spot lies in the fact
that the poor walker walks from his
knee and the good one from his hip.
Watch the passer-by on the street
and you will at once see the difference.
Nine men out OF ten will bend the knee
very considerably in walking, stepping
straight out with both hips on the
same line, and the toe will be the first
to strike the ground.
The tenth man will bend his knee
very little, just enough to clear the
ground, and will swing the leg from
the hip, very much as the arm is
swung from the shoulder, and not
from the elbow. By so doing he calls
upon the muscles which are strongest
to bear the strain, and increases the
length OF his stride four or six inches.
The heel touches the ground first and
not the toe. A slight spring is given
from the ball of the foot on making
another stride Men who walk in this
fashion cover the ground 80 per cent,
faster with the same exertion than
those who walk from the knee. In
pugilism the old rule is to strike
from the shoulder and not from the
elbow. In pedestrianism it is to walk
from the hip and not from the
knee.

RODE A HORSE UPSTAIRS.
A "Bad Man" In Memphis Shows
His Nerve In a Remarkable Way.

A "8ad Man" In Memphis Shows
His Nerve in a Remarkable Way.
The story OF a remarkable feat OF
horsemanship performed in Mempis
recently has just come out. The rider
was Henry Douglass, a farmer living
near Lake View, Miss, and he rode
his horse up a steep flight OF stairs to
the second story of M. G. Pearce & Cos
cotton Office on Front street.
The first the clerks in the cotton
room knew of the circus act was when
Douglass cantered into the apartment,
very drunk, and gave them the time
of day. They did not respond, but
got out as quickly as possible, as
Douglasshad pistol and they knew
him to be bad even when not under
the influence of liquor. Then Mr..
Pearce and City Commissioner Martin
Kelly went up and interviewed Doug
lass, who was riding around in the
cotton room and trying to make his
steed mount the sample tables.
They persuaded him to dismount
for the purpose ofdescending with them
and taking a drink, and Mr.. Pearce
called his negro and told him to lead
the horse downstairs.
"D-n you," said the owner of the
horse to the negro, ''if you touch my
horse IN kill you. have already
killed four men and you're fine
subject for the fifth"
The porter declined to undertake the
contract and finally Mr.. Pearce HIM
self led the animal down without
mishap, Commissioner Kelly hanging
on to the tail to steady the process
sion. AS soon as Douglass reached
the street he was arrested by police
man and later was lodged in the Jail
for carrying a pistol, says the st. Louis
Republic.
To make the fact more astonishing,
the horse he rode is rather wild than
otherwise. Douglass is as handy with
his gun as he claims to be. Several
years sincehe killed Oscar Woodbridge
the man who killed Frank Waite, a
prominent coal dealer and Republican,
in this city fifteen years ago.

Another Printers Error.

The other day an official paper, in
giving an account of the doings of the
President of the French Republic,
sent the following slip to the printers
Office: "The President enjoys excel

and which every effort is made to put

The typesetter put it as follows:
"The President enjoys excellent health

Finding her Mother after Thlrty-nine
Years,

This summer, when Mrs. Donald Allen
came from Waco, Texas, to Staunton to
spend the summer as is her custom at the
old Halle homestead here, she brought with
her old s'Aunt Mary" the colored cook she
had employed in Waco for several years.
The old woman is sixty years, old, and
in, slavery days in Virginia had been sold
down to Mississippi; some years later was
sent to Alabama and from there went to
Texas. When Mrs. Allen told her she
would bring her to Virginia with her this
summer, the overjoyed old woman immedi-
ately said she would go to see her mother
who lived near Farmville. AS the cook
was herself old, and had been away so long,
it was hardly thought possible she would
find her mother alive, OF find her at all. Be-
fore. she left Waco, the Episcopal rector
there, Rev. Frank Page, told her that when
she got to Virginia she must go to the
Episcopal rector at Farmville and tell him
that he, Mr.. Page, said he must help to
find her mother. After getting to Staun-
ton Mrs. Allen gave Aunt Mary permission
to 90 down to Farmville and she went, and
sure enough found her old mother alive and
well just where she had left her thirty -nine
years ago. She Immediately sent the good
news to Mrs. A lien here and to MI. Page
at Waco. She is with her mother now, but
when the summer ends will go with her
employer to Mrs. Allen g new home in New
Mexico.
