PLUCK or AN OPERA SINGER.
How Rubini Once Broke His Collar Bone,
But Finished the Performance.

Fifty years ago European audiences
listened with rapt admiration TO Ru-
bini, tenor Of whom it was said that,
though he himself could not act, he
made his voice act for him, saws a
writer IN the Philadelphia Press. The
intensity of expression he gave to his
voice, the judicious use of the trcmoIo,
and the management of light and
shade produced a thrilling effect but
his best vocal feat consisted in taking
the bass of the upper st1ve without
preparation, thus retaining it for a
long, time, and then letting IL inpor-
ceptibly Gle away. The listeners could
hardly believe their ears. The adven-
turous are always on the edge of dan
ger. On one occasion Ru5iui. after re-
peating this vocal feat, and being a
second time encored, found himself
unable 70 produce the expected note.
Determined not TO fail, he gathered up
his vocal strength and made d supreme
effort. The note came with It's won't
cd power, brilliancy and duration. but
at the cost of broken collar bone. A
surgeon examined the singer and
found that the tension Of the lucgs
had been too powerful for the strength
Of his collar bone. Two months rest
would be required TO reuuite the elav-
icle, and this the singer declared 70 be
impossible, as he had only finished sew
eral days of long engagement.
Can sing at all with a broken col
lar bone?" be asked.
Yes; il win make no difference In
your voice" answered the surgeon.
But you must avoid lifting heavy
weights, and any undue ezsrtioB-
above all, you must leave the b fat
alone"
Rubini continued 20 sing With
broken clsvicle until the termination
of the engagement.

looked Lungrily at the table, now
spread for dinner. But never mind:

jeff and Emmeline, the older chill
dren, glanced at the man as if &c had in
some way robbed them of expectations
which they felt Were theirs by right
But there seemed to be nothing for il
bat TO be civil to Uncle Judson, for the
present, at least, SO they all had dinner.
Mrs. Wray, however, drove Boozer out
OF the house.
Don't be too hash with the poor fell
low" said Uncle Judson, mildly, as he
threw the dog piece of corn bread.
The unwelcolne relative made him
self at home in quiet way, that
none Of them liked except Judy, who
tried to be kind to him when Aunt uar-
riet was not looking. He did not talk
much. but he soon saw that the
orphan child was regarded mainly as 4
drudge and convenience for the rest
Her Uncle Jonas ignored her; her aunt
scolded her and kept her busy: while
Cousins JEFF and Emmelinc sDubbed her
at their own discretion. When JEFF
wanted chair he took Judy's: when
Esamclirc wished 20 sfirls duty of any
kind, she called upon her cousin to take
her place.

Judy was SO surprised that she pu.
down her pail in order to take good
long stare at this rather disreputable

to see that he should be SO poor and
weak and shabby.
