HELPS TO THE VOCALIST.
1hc Knowing Eye, the Glad Smile, and
the Innocent Hand.

1nC AnOw1nS Eye, the lila smile, ana
the Innocent Hand.
1t has teen observed that all the pu.
pi,s of acertain singing teacher in New
York have, when singing, "a bright,
happy expression of c~ountenance, as
though the art of vocaliziny was pro
ductive of the greatest delight.
A young woman pupil, when asked
why this was so, replied:
Our master teaches us that for the
production Of a full. bright, ringing tone
three things are necessary-'the know
ing eye, the glad smile. and the limo.
cent hand"
What in the world does he mean by
that?" asked her questioner. And
what have they to do with your sing
ing, anyhow"
Il will tell you as we'll as l can. AS
regards the facial expression, the pu-
pills all imagine at first that it is taught
with the idea Of it's visual effect upon
an audience. That is by no means the
case, although it is, Of course, always
more pleasant to be a singer with an
agreeable expression than one with a
distorted visage. However, an alert.
Intelligent eye seems to communicate
it, feeling somehow to the throat; one
feels sure of the pitch. and the tone is
altogether better. Try singing with
such an expression, and again with a
heavy, l~istless eye, and see the differ.
ence.
Now for the glad smile 1t is such
a smile as extends from the lips to the
eyes, and, in fact, affects the whole face.
BY it the interior of the mouth, Just
back of the teeth, is rounded. the pas
sage from the windpipe to the lips is
made perfectly clear, and the sound
emitted becomes bli yht, gladstone, and
ringing. Oh, that smile is a wonder
full help. particularly for those notes
above ID in the staff"
Il understand that pretty WELL" said
the interlocutOr: but how about the
innocent hand? That sounds like non
sense"
Not at all. The hands should be
held clasped gently together; Or if
a shoot of music is used it should
be held lightly between the fingers.
This is important. Some singers nave
q habit of knotting their hands to-
gether or clutching their music u.
though they feared it would get away.
Now the muscles which knot these
fingers are away up in the arm and
contiguous to tie mus Giles of the chest
and not far from thO.e of the throat.
The strain upon them affects these
other muscles, intcrfere3 with breath
ing and tires the throat.
Now, ices it sound so much like

them. restore digestion and regularity of the

1t Should Keep Them Cool.

From the estimates given by two
reputable ice dealers OF New York
City, the annual consumption OF ice in
New York, Brooklyn, Hoboken, New
ark, and Jersey City is something enor-
nous. 1t take, between three and four
billion pounds to supply the trade, and
this is Just half the amount harvested,
as icemen calculate that so per cent.
of all ice cut is lost by melting or
breakage before being delivered to the
consumer.

ITALIAN BANKS IN NEW YORK.
The Way the Italian Bankers Rob De-
positOrs of Their Money.


The Italian banks, Of New York, of
which there are about 1872, are patron
lied by the most ignorant Italian la
borers. The bankers, who are OF a
little higher grade than the laborers,
do a great variety of work, sending
money to Italy, writing letters, acting
as adviser and sometimes changing the
Office into an employment agency.
Money is given to a banker by the Ia
borers to be sent to Italy. If he chooses
to send it right away. he does: if not
he waits till he gets ready, sometimes
never sending it. All the customers
letters come to the banker and. as very
few of the depositors can read, he reads
to them whatever he wishes to.
The bankers are expected to work
without compensation, and so they
swinGle the customers to obtain it. If
a depositOr wishes to go some place he
has a banker buy his ticket and is
the surplus for himself to pay him for
his trouble. During the past eight
months fourteen Italian bankers alb
seconded in New York. The reason
that so many got ont is on account of
the hard times. The depositors. being
out of work. go to the bank to get
their savings, but the banker. having
probably been Juggling with the
money. is unable to meet the demands
and is forced to run away. OF course
all of the bankers are not dishonest.
The fact that 50, GOO. 600 annually passes
through their hands shows that the
criminal element is not in control.

Survival Of an Ancient Custom,

A ceremony exists among the tribes
Of the interior of Sumatra which is
without doubt the survival of an an
cient and very cruel custom, that has
passed in the course Of time into a civil
and religious duty. These people, al
though of rather gentle disposition,
piously and tremendously kill and eat
their aged parents in the belief that
they are performing a sacred duty. AT
the appointed day the old man who is
destined to be eaten goes up tree, at
the foot of which are gathered the rel
atiyes and friends of the family. They
strike the trunk of the tree in cadence
and sing funeral hymn. Then the
old man decends, his nearest relatives
deliberately kill him and the attend.
ants eat him.-Chicago Herald.

STORIES THAT DO TO TELL

At the book counter in New York
store someone asked, Have you

the reply, "but we have 'Huckleberrv

Cardinal Richelieu once listened to
an earnest sermon by a shoemaker.
The man was simple and unaffected,
and apparently not at all dismayed by
the presence of the cardinal. "How
could you preach to me with so much
confdeuce?" Richelieu asked him in
evident surprise, "Monseigneur," re-
piled the shoemaker, 81 learned my
sermon by reciting it to a field of
cabbage-heads in the midst of which
was one red one, and this practice en-
abled me opreach to YOU"
Some little French-Canadian chill
dren were discussing a very important
matter with some of their Yankee
neighbors from ''over the line" The
French children are in the habit of
putting their shoes on the hearth in
stead Of hanging up their stockings on
the night before Christmas, and the
little Vermonters naturally thought
this strange custom. Anyway"
said one of the Canadian girls, "shoes
are a great deal nicer than stockings
to get bottles of perfumery in; because
if it breaks and spills it can't run out"
General Horace Porter always tells
a good story when story telling is in
order, as it was at the Lotus club din
ner to Henry Irving in Boston. Gen

Hshmen, particularly after the expert
ence OF three friends of his in London.
They had been invited to swell re.
ception in the West End and when
they arrived they were met by
tiunky of gigantic stature, with nose
high in the air. Names, please" he
said, and the spokesman replied mod
estly: General Badeau, Colonel

the doors, threw them wide open and
announced: General Banjo, Colonel

and from thence to the place of exc

The First Literary journal

The first purely literary journal
was the Journal des Seavans, which
made its first appearance in 1869. 1t
was issued by Denis de Sallo, a
counselor in the parliament Of Paris,
and to escape responsibility he
printed 1t in the name of his foot
man. 1t had a great success, and
was not only initiated in most
European countries, but was trans
lated and reprinted in several Ian
guages. It attained only three
volumes, the authors of the day OBJ
jected to criticism and secured its
suppression. Sr;Ga.s ~ 50 81.
