TO AMATEUR MUSICIANS
some Hints Which. n Followed, win BE
Found Quite Advantageous


The following is series Of hints to
young singers and would be singers
which have been received from one of
Boston's we'll known musicians:
Start under the right instruction. 1t is
far better to begin right in middle life
than wrong in youth.
Study everything carefully, for whats
worth doing at all is worth doing we'll"
Cultivate refinement in all things. The
tastes, inclinations and tendencies of the
singer, whether refined or coarse, are I'M
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.
Concentration is the secret of many a
singers success.
Sing everything as the author wrote
it, for one should be as truthful in music
as in history.
Plan your mode of living and hours
for eating, sleeping and exercising accord
ing to the manner in which they affect
your singing.
Throw your whole soul into your sing
ing. Live in the song while you sing it.
The sympathy and interest of an audi
ence are most frequently gained by the
sincere, soulful and truthful rendering
of selection.
Cultivate animation, 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.
Don't try to study music, art and sci
ence all at the same time. Select one
and do that well.
Don't think of making music your pro-
fession unless you have a 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.
Don't think that training in execution
and technique of the voice only is suf-
fcient. The professional singer should
be a perfect reader and well schooled in
counterpart and harmony.
Don't think the life of a successful
| singer is easy. The more successful the
singer the more she becomes a slave to
her profession.
Don't make practice of humming. 1t
| tires the voice.
Don't practice long at time, especial
Iy if you are just beginning. Iti much
better to practice little and often.
Don't eat just before singing. A hearty
meal several hours before and light
stimulating refreshment just before you
sing are much better.
Don't drink wine for stimulant. 1t
is not only drying to the throat, but is
too strong a stimulant. A person needs
to be especially self composed when sing
ing.
Don't indulge in mannerisms and
catchy originalities in rendering your Sc
lections. A natural manner and sincere
singing are much more pleasing and de-

HEAVY CATTLE LOSSES,

Several times during the early part OF
this spring mention was made in the
various papers of this state of the heav,
losses of stock in the vicinity of Milk
river in the northern part of this state
but the following from the Fort Benton
River Press shows the loss to have been
even heavier than was then feared:
The round up. composed of the Miner.
Home Land. kohrs. Bloom. Slaughter
and Bear Paw Pool outfits. together with
representatives from other owners. be-
gan work on June 9TH. in Valley county.
at a point south of Glasgow. After work
ing five days Messrs. Miner and Spur
geon became convinced that il was use
less TO continue the work any further. so
Tar as calf branding was concerned. and
had they been working alone. would
have quit AT that time. The only rea
son they continued any longer was to
give the outside representatives chance
10 gather their cattle on that range. At
Ter working for three weeks in Valley
county, the roundup came into Choteau
county. worked a couple of days in the
strip between the Little Rocks and the
Missouri river. and then disbanded.
The branding by corrals in Valley
county this season. by the figures kept
by the roundup, was shown to be but IL
per cent of what ii was a wear previous,
There were no calves whatever. except
very young ones. which came since the
storls in early Npril. All the fall and
winter calves were literally wiped out in
March and April.
MIR. Miner attended all the round ups
IN that section. and if is his opinion. as
concurred in by Sturgeon. Suryant and
other cattlemen. that the loss of breed
ing stock since last fall was 20 per cent:
OF yearllngs II was o 10 per cent.
While the loss of steers was merely nom
inal. from l. to II per cent. Small
stock owners who are residents on the

apparent loss occurred in April. and was
caused by the storm of April 9Th.

winter.

Rev. Mr.. Gibbs at Congress Square Church

Rev. Mr.. Gibbs at Congress Square Church.
A large congregation assembled at
Congress Square yesterday morning to
welcome the Rev. Mr.. Gibbs, their former
pastor. After the usual services-reading
from the Scriptures. prayer and singing
of that beautiful hymn, Father! there
is no change to live with Thee,n Mr..
Gibbs preached an eloquent sermon from
the following text Acts of the Apostles,
II chapter, ~ verse: "That they should
seek the Lord, if haply they might feel
after Him, and find Him, though He be
not far from every one of us.n
The speaker dwelt at some length on
the need of Gods presence which every
one feels, of the divinity of humanity,
and of God in nature. To enter into His
presence has been the secret desire of
every man and woman from the earliest
ages. If we study the works of nature
we shall know God is never far away. If
we could enter into the divine secrets we
should find this life is little thing
after all. What can we say of the life
beneath our feet, of nature? AS we
study it, the more we are astonished at
the perfectness. Such perfect results as
God has reached everywhere in nature
are testimonials of His presence, by
which we are acquainted with the better
meaning of life. And seeing this perfec-
tion in nature, what more is expected of
us, what duties do not devolve on us to
perfect our higher life that the issue shall
praise Him? We think ourselves, a
superior order in nature, it inspires us
to do the better things. From the
noisome mud springs the pure white
water lily; SO from some lives spring
unexpected heroism and surprising
sacrifices. Let us initiate the example
of our Divine Master. Our Christ is a
living Christ and not dead one, and
following Him we come in touch with
God.

ALARaE SUM ,
Will Be Distributed to Burnham & Nor
rilrs Employees.

To accommodate Burnham & Morrill,
with currency the Merchants National
Bank of Portland secured special issue
and the firm took it all. The sums to be
paid to individuals will vary between S.
and $3.50, not exceeding the latter figure.
Therefore the notes of the Merchants
bank will be distributed among many
hundred people in the twelve factories.
The firm say that their corn pack this
season will probably be not more than
one-half as large as usual although it
may possibly swell to two-thirds. They
can't estimate accurately yet. The corn
is very scrubby and shows the effects of
the drought.
Burnham 6 Morrill's twelve factories
are quite widely distributed, and may be
considered as representative. IT'S a
small pack, short season. Davis, Baxter
6 Co.. have factories farther east and re-
port little better showing in those sec
lions. The packers are not grieying any
over the situation.

A New Cook Book.

Miss Maria Parloa has just written new
cook book, which has been gotten out in hand
some style, with Illustrations, Illuminated COW
or. ETC., by the Liebig Extract OF Meat Com
pany. 1t gives large number OF receipts OF
whose practical value Miss Porloa's reputation
is a sufficient guarantee. This little book will
be sent, free of CHARGE by mail, to those of our
readers who will send an application on apos
tai card to Messrs. Dauchy g. Co., 81 Park
Place, New York City. Every housewife will
appreciate it, and will find in it many simple
receips for the improved preparation of some
OF the familiar dishes, as well as more elabo-
rate receipts for various delicious things SIP
posed, perhaps, to come in the province of the
PROFESSIONAL cook, but which, by Miss
Par1oa's directions, can now be successfully
prepared at home.
