What Singers Eat.

Not long ago list was published of
the drinks favored by the great singers
of modern times. Different wines We're
regarded by different vocalists as pos
sessing desirable qualities, and London
stout was the prime favorte of very
large proportion of vocalists. A writer
in musical journal attaches as much
importance to what singers eat as to
what they drink and as he has had q
large experience in engaging singers for
important tours in this country, his
opinion is worth listening to. He says
he never loses time in looking for fine
vocalist in a country where fish and
meat diet prevail He has found that
vocal capacity disappears in families as
they grow rich, because they eat moro
meat.
The Italians who eat the most fish
those of Naples and Genoa have few
fine singers among them. In Ireland
The sweet voices are found in women of
the country, but not of the towns.
Norway is not a country of singers, be-
cause the people eat too much fish ;
but Sweden is country of grain aud
song. The carniverous birds croak !;
grain eating birds sing.
This is very sweeping indictment,
but it does not alter the fact that many
of the best singers of the day include a
moderate quantity of meat in their
daily bill of fare. Precept and prac-
.ice, however, do not always go to-
gether. A reporter of New York pa:
per called on an eminent tenor one
night at an opera house for the pur-
pose of ascertaining his views on the
question whether or not smoking was
injurious to the voice The singer, who
had just come off the stage after a long
and exhausting scene, said he consid-
cred that smoking was decidedly bad
thing for the voice; and having given
this opinion he offered cigarette to
the reporter and lit one for himself.

CONSTANT ANXIETY.
Nervous Troubles That Accompany the
Ownership of Diamonds.

Nervous Troubles That Accompany the
Ownership of Dia Almonds.
Women who own diamonds are not
altogether happy in their possession.
They are in constant fear OF being
robbed, and go about the streets like
travelling safety vaults. Some women
carry their diamonds around their
necks in channels bags, like scapulafs;
others adjust them around their waists.
They seize the most unlikely places to
stow their diamonds when not in use,
but do not seem to lessen the chances
of loss or anxiety Last winter, young
woman pinned six hundred dollar
diamond to the bottom of silk skirt
for safe keeping. A week after, forget
ting this, she put on the skirt and
merfily promenaded the town. When
she sought to wear her diamond it was
gone. After week of anguish, it was
recovered by the offer of one hundred
dollars reward. She had dropped II
where it had been picked up. Two
weeks after it found it's way to astrange
washerwoman. The mental agony which,
accompanies such exploits tends to
whiten the locks A woman with soli-
taire earrings of unusual value wore
them concealed in gold balls. In q
sleeping car these were removed. and
she was brought back in piteous state
of collapse. Another woman, believing
that her person is in danger from the
possession of such valuable diarhonds
when travelling, pins them in the folds
of the window curtains and hides them
under the corners of rugs. The next
morning she had forgotten the precise
spot, and, after ransacking the room in
state of comparative frenzy and per-
haps losing train, the missing jewels
are found. The same woman, in Paris,
once hid her diamonds in slit in a
mattress. The diamonds, after a week
or so, had made u considerable tour of
the mattress Not being found, the
maid who attended to her room was
charged with theft; detectives were
called in. A pretty imbroglio was set
in motion, when the enterprising land
lady had the mattress opened and the
diamonds were found. People who do
not own diamonds have this compen-
sation, and it should not be lightly
vaiued--they do not have to take care
of them

Yawn All You Please.

According to current ideas, yawning
in good society is an improper sign of
WEAKNESS according to the teachings
of physiology, it is long drawn, forci-
ble inspiration, followed by a shorter
respiration s; according to DR.. Naegeli,
Il German physician of note, it is one
OF natures many remedies, the proper
application of which depends upon
good Judgment.
In yawning, not only the muscles
which move the lower jaw are used, but
also the breathing muscles of the chest {;
and he who yawns to his hearts con-
tent also raises and extends the arms.
In the deepest inspiration the chest re-
mains extended far short time, the
eyes are almost entirely closed, the
ears somewhat raised, the nostrils di-
lated. Inside the mouth, the tongue
becomes round and arched, the palate
stiffiy stretched, and the uluva is
raised, almost entirely closing the space
between. the nose and throat. At the
beginning of the inspiration cracking
noise is heard in the ears, proof that
the duct leading to the hearing also
succumbs to this stretching.
If the yawning has reached the
deepest point it will require from one
to one and half seconds for it to be.
come noticeable to the hearing. In
order to observe this, let one place HIM
self at a sufficient distance from clock,
so that it's ticking will not be easily
heard, and yawn deeply. During this
deep breathing the sound of the clock
is not perceptible to the most careful
listening. All this simply goes to show
that yawning sets number of muscles
to work, and particularly those which
are not directly subject to the will.
Although one yawning does not pre-
sent very agreeable appearance, it is
very agreeable to oneself, for the stretch
ing of the muscles causes a feeling of
comfort it acts like massage, and is
the most natural gymnastics of the
lungs imaginable. DR.. Naegeli, there
fore, advises people not to concern
themselves with so-called decency, but
every morning and evening, and as
often as possible, to exercise the lungs
and all the muscles of respiration by
yawning and stretching, as many
chronic lung troubles may thus be- pre-
vented.
DR.. Naegeli orders the patient troubled
with too much wax in the ear, accom-
panied with pain, to yawn often and
deeply. The pain will soon disappear.
He also. in the case of nasal catarrh,
inflammation of the palate, sore throat,
and earache, orders the patient, as often
as possible during each day to yawn
from six to ten times successfully, and
Immediately after to swallow. The re-
suit will be surprising. If one looks
upon yawning as natural massagN for
certain organs, he will reach a satisfac'
tory explanation of its curative prop
critics.

Her Breach of Promise Case.

A well-known attorney In Datroit,
when he first hung out his single.
didn't know anywhere near as much as
he knows now about the mysteries of
the profession, if the Free Press is
to be relied upon.
His first client was young woman
who wanted to bring a suit for breach
of promise.
He asked her to tell him all the cir
cumstances, and she did. When her
story was finished he shook his held
doubtfully.
Il don't know much about this" he
said. you say he asked you to be his
wife ?"
Yes, sir.
land you said you would p
Yes, sir.
Then he left and didn't come back
any more p
Yes, sir.
"Um-um, hesitated the attorney; did
YOU ask him to be your husband 2
''Of course I didn't.
Did he promise to be p
mo, sir.
Did he say anything further than
for you to be his wife p
No, sir.

Fees.
The most eminent consulting lawyer
of Paris at one time in the last century
was the Able May, says the Manchester
Times. His opinion had great weight
in forming the decision of the judges,
and he was often consulted in import-
ant matters outside the law. His fee
for an opinion was usually large one.
The story of one of his exceptional
fees is related by NJ. de Bots Saint just
in his history of Paris.
A cure from the country called on
the able one day, and after compile
mentlng him with earnestness and
sincerity on his creditanle aud deserved
reputation, said that he was involved
In lawsuit which he did not under
stand. He asked the able to advise
him whether he was in the right or in
the wrong, and whether he had better
carry on the suit. So saying he de-
livered to the great jurist an enormous
package of papers covered with almost
illegible hand writing. The able
cheerfully accepted the task and told
the cure to call again in two weeks.
He was pleased with the good, simple
hearted man and devoted his best
energies to clearing up the case though
lie was obliged to put other matters
aside in order to do so. The cure
called on the day appointed, took the
abbes written opinion and read it
through critically. He was delighted
with the enthusiasm and clearness with
which his rights were set forth He
embraced the able gratefully and cried:
"Ah. monsieur, no one could be better
pleased than am, and want you to
be satisfied also Here is money, mon
sieur Please take what is due you, }"
and he threw three-franc piece on the
table. Not to humilate the good man,
the able picked up the coin, took
thirty-six sous from his purse and
handed his client the change Some
one said, when he told the story, that
as usual he had lost by his disinterest-
edness
Lost = said the able "And do
you count the pleasure of telling the
story nothing"
