HELPS TO THE VOCALIST.
The Knowing Eye, Glad Smile and
Innocent Hand.


Innocent Hand.
New York sun.
It has been observed that all the pupils of
a certain singing teacher in New York
have, when singing. bright, happy ex-
preston of countenance. as though the art
of vocalizing was productive of the great
est delight.
A young woman pupil. when asked why
this was so. replied:
.Our master teaches US that for the pro-
duction of a full. bright. ringing tone three
things are necessary: The knowing eye,
the glad smile and the innocent hand"
"What in the world does he mean by
that" asked her questi0ner. 'sand what
have they to do with your singing, any
how?"
.I shall tell you as we'll as can. As re-.
CARDS the facial expression, the pupils all
imagine at first hat 1t is taught with the
idea of its visual effect upon an audience.
That is BY nomeans the case, although it is,
of course, always more pleasant to see
singer with an agreeable expression than
one with a distorted visage.
"Howeyer an alert, Intelligent eve seems
to communicate its feelings somehow to
the throat; one feels surer of the pitch
and the tone is altogether better. Try sing
ing with an expression and again with
heavy. listless eye and see the difference.
sNow The glad smile 1t is such smile
as extends from the lips to the ewes. aud.
in fact, affects the whole face. By it the
interior of he mouth. just back Of the teeth,
is rounded. the passage from The windpipe
to the lips is made perfectly clear, and the
sound emitted becomes bright, gladstone
and ringing. Oh, that smile is a wonderful
help. particularly for those notes above d
in the staff"
Il understand that pretty WELL" said the
nterlocusor, "but how bout the innocent
hand?. That sounds like nonsense"
''Nct at all. The hands should be clasped
gently together; or II sheet of music is
used it should be held lightly between the
fingers. This is important. Some singers
have habit of knotting their hands TO-
gether, or clulchiDg their music as though
thew feared it would get away.
Nov the muscles which knot these
fingers are away up in the arm. contiguous
to the muscles of the chest, and not Tar
from those of the throat. The strain upon
them affects these ntber muscles, interferes
with breathing, and tires the throat.
'sNow. dues 1t sound so much like nOn-
sensep tell you they are great things,
the knowing eye. the glad smile, and the
innocent hand; il wasn't until / had
learned their value that l was allowed to
sing in public, and to them DO attribute
much of my success

MES that he told the merchant that tho
Faculty had passed any resolution either
forbldding or allowing the distribution
of the State appropriation or any part OF

resolution OF this character ever passei.
but nothing OF the sort was ever proposed

the Faculty, either recently or
AT any other time. We do not
nj all believe that the merchant
