a Cure For Stammering.

A gentleman who stammered from
childhood almost up to manhood gives d,
very simple remedy for the misfortune
Go into a room where you will be quiet
and alone, get some book that will il j
terest but not excite you and sit down
and read two hours aloud to yourself,
keeping your teeth together. Do this
every two or three days, or once week
il very tiresome, always taking care to
read slowly and distinctly, moving the
lips, but not the teeth. Then, when con-
versing with others, try to speak as
slowly and distinctly as possible and
make up your mind that you will not
stammer .as
Well, ! tried this remedy. not having
much faith in it, must confess, but
willing to do almost anything to cure
myself of such an annoying difficulty.
I read for two hours aloud with my
teeth together. The first result was to
make my tongue and jaws ache that is,
while I was reading and the next to
make me feel as if something had loos-
ened my talking apparatus, for could
speak with less difficulty Immediately.
The change was so great that every one
who knew me remarked it. repeated
this remedy every five or six days for a
month, and then at longer intervals NJ

An Insurance Curiosity.

: J. ~ = .
Did you ever stop to consider" asked
Lemuel Hunter, "why it is that when a
man is burned out he always overestii-
mates his loss about 200 per cent? This
is more particularly the case with fires
in frame building towns, where the loss
to the building is generally assessed at
between three and four times what it
cost to erect it. raised this question
not long since with a man who was
burned out. He said the loss to his build
ing was $4,000, but he proposed to re-
build at an expenditure of 81 200 and
have a better building. When ques-
toned the logic of his calculation, he
promptly corrected me by pointing out
that the real estate on which the build
ing stood was worth fully So, 600, and al
though he didn' pretend to argue that
the site had been burned up he seemed
to think himself perfectly justified ii in
Guiding the value Of the IS feet frontagein
his estimate Of loss. No one was injured by
the calculation, and the good man was
perfectly justified in making it if he de-
sired, but if his idea is a general one it is
not surprising that losses generally are
greatly overestimated. - st. Louis Globe

A MeanLot of Bridegrooms.

One of our city clergymen tells this;
81 have had some funny experiences with
grooms who have failed to pay me any
thing. One man came to me one day
and asked me how much I charged. !
told him that we charged nothing, but
he could give me what he liked. I mar
ried him, and he promised to pay me.
but never did. Not long after another
couple, who had been sent by the others,
/ came in, and married them, the groom
promising to give me fee, but nothing
came Of it.. Some time after there came
still another couple who had been sent
by the previous one The groom declared
he was dead broke. told him how the
others had treated me, but he promised
faithfully to pay me in the future, and
I tied the knot. That has been some time
ago, and he has not yet fulfilled his
promise. have had a good many such
cases.

70 AMATEUR MUSICIANS.
Some Hints Which. II Followed, WIZ No
Found Quite Advantageous.

Found Quite advantageous.
The following is q series Of hints to-
young singers and would be singers
which have been received from one Of
Boston's well known musicians:
= Start under the right instruction. It is.
far better to begin right in middle life
than wrong IN youth.
Study every thing carefully =, for what's
worth doing at all is worth doing well. :
Cultivate refinement in all things. The
tastes, inclinations and tendencies Of the
singer, whether refined or coarse, are un-5
avoidably made manifest in the inter
probation Of the music she sings.
Keep up with the events Of the world
in a general way, but while studying.
music live in an atmosphere Of music.
singers success.
Sing every thing as the author wrote
it, for one should be as truthful in music
as in history. ..s.#..
Plan your mode of living and hours
foreating, sleeping and exercising accord
ing to the manner in which they affect
your singing.
Throw your whole soul into your sing
ing. Live in Tho song while you sing it.
The sympathy and interest Of an audi
ence are most frequently gained by the
sincere, soulful and truthful rendering
ola selection.
Cultivate animate warmth of spirit
and coloring in rendering your songs.
Train yourself to be cool headed and
collected when singing,
Sing without notes when possible. You
can produce better dramatic effects and
hold your audience better by SO doing. 4
. Don't try to study music, art and sci
ence all at the same time. Select ono
and do that well. s.
| Don't think Of making music your pro.
fession unless you have more than or
binary talent for it. The musical pro-
| fession is always crowded with perform
ers, except at the very top, where there
is always plenty Of room.
Don't think Of making music your pro
fession unless you have plenty Of money
to give yourself the best possible musical
education. IS.
Don't think that training in execution
and technique Of the voice only is suf.
fcient The professional singer should
bea perfect reader and well schooled in
counterpoint and harmony.
Don't think the life Of a successful
singer is easy. The more successful the
singer the more she becomes a slave tt
her profession.
Don't make a practice Of humming. Il
tires the voice, 49,
Iss+ Don't practice long at a time, especial
+ lyi if you are just beginning. It's mucl
4 better to practice little and often.
I I Don't eat just before singing. A hearty
1 meal several hours before and ligh
\ stimulating refreshment just before yo1
4 sing are much better.
I Don't drink wine for q stimulant. 1
l is not only drying to the throat, but il
too strong a stimulant. Aperson need

When the World Falls to Pieces.

The leading English scientists, Jones,
Hilton, ct al, are figuring on the proba-
bilities Of the earth finally collapsing as
a result of the modern craze for tapping
natures great gas retorts. They argue
that the earth is huge balloon held up,
in part at least, by heat and internal
gases, and that when natures great gas
main is eventually exhausted the earth's
crust may break in and fall into mil
lions Of fragments! Ugh! The very
thought Of such a calamity is startling.
They argue that the steady belching
forth of millions Of feet Of gas every
hour Of the day and night is surely caus-
ing a great vacuum somewhere not far
beneath the surface, and that sooner or
later the thin archway Of earth crust
will give way. Then will occur the
grand climax Of all earthly calamities w
