e LESSON IN SINGING.
Management of the Breathing Organs.
 When to Take n Breath.

Management of the Breathing Organs.
 When to Take n Breath.
 The management of the breath is of the greatest importance in connection with singing, it being necessary to have complete mastery over the breathing organs before the student will ba able to sing properly. Breath. according to in- structions given in The Housewife, ought to be taken in the following manner: The singer should stand with her head erect, the lips just parted, the shoulders thrown back in m easy attitude; the air should then be inhaled through the mouth gradually and without making the least noise, being careful that the whole of the chest-and not, as is usual ly the case, only small portion of the upper part-becomes filled with air, and when the lungs are fully inflated the breath should be held for few seconds, then gradually and very gently exhaled, for it is a great deal moro difficult to control the breath during exhalation than inhalation.
 A very excellent plan is to devote Q few minutes every morning and night to breathing in the above manner, and although it may be found little tiring at first it will with perseverance even tually strengthen the chest and lungs to a remarkable degree. Long sustained notes on tho various vowel sounds will also be found invaluable for strengthen ing the voice. The Italian vowel a, pro- nounced as in the word father, is the sound most frequently used and recom- mended by the best teachers of the art. But as there are no two voices exactly alike, each one possessing quite d dis tinct individuality, it is not unusual for | a slillful master to substitute another vowel where he finds it necessary for the successful development of particular voice.
 The principal objects to accomplish in the improvement of the singing voice are to improve its quality both ia clearuess and resonance, to make every note in its compass equal i'll purity, to extend its compass as much Gs possible both above and below, and 10 obtain power to pro- duce q prolonged note on each degree of its compass. The accurate intonation of all the scales is of course a necessity. There are two great principles to be strict ly adhered to for preserving the voice temperance in all things. such as eating. drinking, etc, and the daily practice of the scales and exercises.
 Untrained singers very often take breath just as they are going to sing, and this Is ore of the greatest errors they can make. It is also most unpleasant to the listeners, this practice being so liable 10 render the first note simple gasp. The correct plan is to take a full breath ! silently, quite two bars, before slc sings | the first note Then it becomes d very easy matter to phrase well iE- Inc stu dent adopts this method at the com mencement of her studies. Iusiuging a song the proper place to take breath Is between the phrases. when half breath or more may be taken and will scarcely be perceptiblr.

HENRY ST. GEORGE TUCKER.

St. George Tucker in congress from lS1J to 1919, and that he afterwarl became presiding justice of the Virginia court of appeals.
 John Randolph Tucker, son of the elder Henry St. George, colEes more within the purview of living generations, and his career as a member of the house from 1876 to 1887 is recent and well known enough to need no recounting here. He retired from congress to make way for his son and is enjoying his hale old age in his native state, devoting him self to the duties of his law professor ship at the Washington and Lee univer- sity.
 The present Henry St. George Tucker is now serving his third term in the house, which he entered in 1889. He is 40 years old, and, like his father, was born at Winchester. He was educated at Washington and Lee, taking his A. NJ. degree ill 1875 and his B. L. in 1876 After that he devoted himself to prac- ticing law at Staunton, where he re, sides, until he was elected to congress. He has never held any other public office.

Plan For Making Money Plenty.
 W. H. Van Ornum has been doing
 some original thinking all out of his own
 head on the currency question and has
 evolved way to make money plenty.
 He would have the people depend neither
 on banks nor government for their sup
 ply of currency, but just manufacture
 it themselves. They can take chapter
 out of the history of banks, and espe-
 cially also out the history of the clearing houses the past summer. When money
 was not to be had, the clearing houses issued to banks that were properly sup
 ported loan certificates to the amount of
 many million dollars, and this passed current
 Mr. Van Ornun would have business
 men form associations of their own and
 issue certificates of credit which should pass as money until the present hard times were over. Farmers can form
 their own associations as well as mer- chants and manufacturers. The exact
 way to go about it is set forth as follows by Mir. Ornun in The Arena:
 Business men can form mutual associations for their own convenience and credit to facili- tate their own bUs!Eess. Each member eau be rated fer credit according tO his financial ahil- ity or business probity, being guided by the same considerations as now enable iEe banks ! 10 determine the credit of customers. Then let the association issue 10 each member re- spectiyCly certificates or credit, in aCn0mlua- ! ions corresponding to the present paper cur rcncy, tO the full amount of the credit allowed, which will circulate as money, backed by the credit of the hole association. These CeUti!i- Catcs should show that they 1.rc receivable by any member of the association for all bills or accounts due such members and In payment | for all services readCred or goods pUrcAasctl- in short, let every member guarantee To receive 1 and treat them precisely like any other money. The assu uciGtiun will constitute Q Cooperative ] bank for the benefit of its members, in which l the certificates of credit will bS deposited, 10 ! be checked against or added to iu new deposits, 1 like any other bank account The bank, being
 for the mUtuJ-Cunv erieHCc Of its meul hers, need ! uot and ought not To mako profit. IL should
 discount no notes, deal in no securities, exact | no interest or any way risk tho money of its
 membcrs. For the running expenses, each
 member should pay enough tn cover the cost ' ot the individual service to him, which can ba l based upon the Volumo of lis credits, and in an 1 association Of even moderate proportions that l need not exceed a very small part of Ter cent ] annually.

DunrayCn.

Tie English noblemau who came over here in the hope of winning away from this country tho America cup has done much more than sail a racing yacht. He is much of a man all around, so much of ono that Americans would rather have secn him win the cup than almost any other Briton, if any BTiton at all could win it.
 Lord Dunravcn was very active mem bcr of the Salisbury administration. In lsS9 he moved tho appointment in the house uf lords of a committee to iuvcsti- gate the evils of the sweating system. For once a government committee was thorough. going to the bottom, not white washing or cxtcnuating, Not only tho sweatshops and contracts of London it. self were examined, but thc system was probed throughout all Britain. The re suit was great stirring up of things and a reform which promises to be per maucut. The committee began with the government contracts, for they found as many outra-oS existing there as else where Aresoiuuun Was carried through parliament calling for the insertion into government contracts of such conditions as would prevent the abuses of sublctting. The demand has since been strictly com- piled with. and logal governing Euaris have fvllowci the eSaI1p,cof the nation al oHc. A sentiment against the sweat ins sy>,vln has lseu aroused over tNe whole kingdom through the persistent effort If the man whose yacht tried for tue America cup.

HOW TO WALK.
PhysIoIogists and Dancing Masters Do Not
 Agree.

Psychologists and Dancing Masters Do Not
 Agree.
 It is enough to imagine the unfeigned amazement of dame of the old school if the proper position of the feet in walking were made a matter of doubt. For years the dancing masters standard in all matters of carriage and walk has been an unquestioned one. The fin de siecle young woman, however, has a mind of her own. Sine has not found that the conventional training of the dancing master, valuable as it undouht- edly is, is all sufficient ill producing that grace of carriage and elcGanRN of man her so desirable in the woman of the world.
 On the contrary. she has found that the physical training of the woman of the stage has been more often conducive to the desired end. Hence it is that schools of Delsarte have sprung up all over the land, and systems of physical training, including boxing and fencing. heretofore relegated to the sterner sex, have found patronesses in plenty. From the earliest days since the walk and car riage have been a matter of study it has been decided by all authorities on the subject that the proper position of the feet was ''heels together and toes out, '' which is the present military position.
 The English rule is that the angle at which the toes should be turned out on dress parade or in marching is GO de grees. This throws the feet into an ex- tremely unnatural position, which it is practically impossible to maintain in marching. This is about the degree which the dancing master prescribes to his pupils, and the average well trained woman turns out her feet at a consider ably less angle, about 45 degrees. Strange as it may seem. very little attention has been given to the position of the feet at the best physical training schools, though the importance of the manner of walk ing will be appreciated when it is known that in certain diseases a plaster cast of the position of the feet in walking is taken as a part of the diagnosis.
 There is but one opinion among physi- ologists as to the proper position of the feet, and that is thoroughly opposed to the opinions of the dancing master or the drill sergeant.

America is a record breaking country. We holi the blue ribbon for trottiug horses. milliunaires, beautiful women and labor saving inventions, and now the record has been broken by an Amor ican in the talking line. Who but an Americau-who but Populist, one might ndd-coulj stand and tall, for l4s huurs at one stretch without a break or stammcr? Senator Allen of Nebraska will go down in history as the man who has oUt,alkcd the world, and he Was not very tired either at the end of his ora tion. How he endured it is hard to un- dcr>tdnd. How those who listened to him endured it could not be understood at all except for q glimpse at the list of certain articles that went into the sen ate restaurant and disappeared during that remarkable session. Here it is: eco pounds of trimmed luins of beef. 5 cases If wine. 9Gl bottles of beer.

ON October 10, the paid admissions at the Worlds fair were 7l3, ,646. Several accidents occurred in which many were injured and six died. It was Chicago day, that brought out the greatest crowd that has ever assembled ill any place for a days hohday-making excepting only the crowd of over million persons that wit messed the naval pageant and the street parades in New York last October. A generation ago it would not have been possible for want of facilities of trans POrtation to assemble and disperse such a multitude. Even now there are not more than half dozen cities in the world where such feat could be accom- plishcd. Chicago has a good right to show her eNaltation in the success of the fair, for the success of the fair has been the work of Chicago, while it's failures have been justly chargcable to the work of the national commission. which has been little better than nuisance from the be ginniny, while the work done under the locll directory has been admirably done IL is quite it that large part of the population of Chicago should turn out to celebrate so creditable and 50 memorable an achievement

Marking Table Linen,

Where tablecloths are marked in en- broidery the initials or monogram should be put inside the border and at right angles with it and at a point about II inches in a diagonal line from the right hand corner of the cloth as it lies upon the table before the hostess. These let ters can be of varying size and decorative elaborateness and are oftenest done in white linen embroidery. As a means merely of identification for ordinary cloths the letters sold for marking are oftenest used placed close to the wrong side of the hem on any corner.

How to Learn HIuslc.

Do not fail to take advantage of the library. Begin course of good reading. Music is notorious for narrowing ones mind. so resolve to counterbalance your practice with literary work as well. As to your practice, we would give you this maxim: "The essential thing in practice is to sec exactly what is to be done in all its details and then do it again and again with the greatest clearneSs, pre- cision and energy" When you take up a new piece, notice the key, the harmonies, chords, scales, lingering and general eff fects- One of the first necessaries is con centration- Develop self criticism. ''The thing you cannot do is the very thing you should make yourself do." In prac- tice begin where you left off the day be- fore. Connect your days work. Apply all yonr knowledge. Do not try to do more than one thing at time. Spend a good deal of time every day. thinking about what you are doing and what you will do.
