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. II 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 good
voice may by study and culture produce
higher notes than they Otherwise could
hope to do, but no professor Of music, no
matter how eminent, ever created voice
where it 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 be pleas
ant and agreeable to the ear, II, however,
a singer tries to do too much the effect will
be similar to II man who endeavors to walk
up two steps at IA time when he is only able
TO make one 1t will prove ruinons. Do
not strain your voice, or yon may lose it,

show that great many people sym

Men ought not to blame women
for having weakness for the sterner

woman's nature to sympathize with
man when he is the under dog, She
forgets everything bad in a man at
that time, and only realizes the fact
that he is man, that men are get

cared for.
If the Lord Almighty had not
planted this highly desirable weak
ness in the breast of woman, most of
us poor wretcheS would have
mighty slim chance to be cared for
by any of the gentler sex.
If they could see our faults stick

they appear, they would be likely to

Ne la at the Fair,

Commissio :, at the Worlds Fair i.
published the Elko Independent
of the I'd instant. AS it is of genera
interest to the people of Nevada, we
reproduce it in our column:
CHICAGO, May 81, 1898.
w. W. Booher, Esq, Elko, New.
Dear Sir: Your kind favor
with adYices of shipment of Nevada
produce duly received and noted
Am dilitory in replying owing to be-
ing very much pressed for time.
Many thanks for the interest you
have taken in 8 ing Nevada's ex-
hibit, which l think will be most
creditable one in every respect. l
am sure much good will come of our
energies in showing to the world that
we can by obtaining the necessary
funds, make a grand State of Nevada,
and instead of it being worked out,
it is only in its infancy, and, when
properly developed, will prove an
''eye sore" to some of the States now
boasting of their supremency.
We will be represented in three
departments Mining, Agricultural
and chronological. The latter will
not prove to be of much pecuniary
benefit but will aid the scientific
world materially, and undoubtedly
bring our "pre-historic" State into
prominence.
Although late in getting here, our
efforts are doubly appreciated and
most favorably commented on. Will
endeavor to bring our mining and
agricultural facilities prominently be-
fore the public and will combine the
horticultural display with that of the
agricultural, SO as to make it most
conspicuous. Think it an excellent
plan to concentrate our display, as
many would not in all probability
see both if separated.
Would like the press of Nevada to
keep it before the people, and have
all who can send something choice to
do so. When my time is not taken
up l will eudeavor to send some in
teresting letters to the press.

Picking Out a Layer.

How many poultry men can pick out
good laying hen from strange flock ?
Not many can do it; yet it can easily be
done after a short study of make up and
characteristics, says writerin Northwest
Farmer. There goes hen with thick
neck, large head, ill shaped, walks list
lessly about, seemingly with no intention
or purpose in view. She does not care to
scratch, she hangs around the hen house,
evidently waiting for her next feed. She
gets up late in the morning and goes to
bed early in the evening. That may be
put down as very poor layer. The eggs
of some of the other hens go to help pay
her keep. Here comes another. She
walks briskly and there is an elasticity
in her movements which shows she has
something in view. She is neat and
natty in appearance, small head, with
slim neck, nicely arched or curved. She
forages or scratches all day long, and
may be too busy to come for her evening
meal. She is at the door in the morning
waiting to be let out. She scratches a
few mouthfuls of feed and is off to the
meadow, looking for insects. Before she
gets out in the morning she generally de-
posits her daily egg in the nest, or returns
after short forage. She is neat, clean
and tidy, with brightness and a fresh
ness pleasant to the eye. That is the hen
that pays for her feed and gives good
profit all the year round. The writer has
noticed these traits since boyhood, and
knows that they are infallible. By study
ing these traits, any man may in few
years have fine flock OF hens.
