sway over her pupils. Her conversation with them is charming, with anecdotes of the great singers who have studied in her school, valuable facts relating to the art of music, judicious advice, sparkling criticism and always that last touch of fascination in great and noble and admired woman & personal interest in each to whom she speaks. While she is infexible in her judgments, unyielding in her decision re- garding the voice and its treatment and training, she is really very mother to her pupils and most unchangeable friend.
 There is no prima donna, however ccle- brated, who is not ready to return for her advice in undertaking new composition or role. One of her favorite pupils is Mime. Etelka Gerster, who visits her old teacher at every opportunity. Emma Nevada once wrote to friend who had just entered Mar chesi's school: Rely absolutely upon what she says. If you have professional voice. that is, voice for the opera-she will ad- init you, and you can count upon every word. Do exactly as she tells you, and you will never be sorry"
 Many of the impulsive German girls al ways kiss her on both cheeks on entering class, even her hands and dress, and Emma Flames says that she will never forget state. ly Antoinette de Pride, who for six years after her graduation from the Marches school was prima donna at the Royal Opers House of Moscow, and her fervent, almost worshipful manner to the woman who haC helped her to fame. Pretty Pauline NovaF of the Royal opera of Prague and Buda Pesth used to say in her unguarded Bo hemian way, "Oh, Marchesi will be my only sweetheart, for she embodieS all the lovable qualities, all the destinations"

A TEACHER OF SINGING.
Marclesi, the Worlds Foremost
 Vocal Instructor.
SOME OF HER FAMOUS PUPILS

The Methods of the Greatest Trainer of the
 Human voice-An Interesting Personaii-
 ty-A Sketch of Her Career-Absurd
 Claims of Her Detractors.
 The name Marchesi is familiar to every person who reads the musical columns of the newspapers. We all know that she is conceded to be the greatest vocal instructor in the world and that she lives in Paris, but beyond those facts the general public is in the dark. She is responsible in great measure for the professional success of Melba, Etelka Gerster, Emma Flames, Emma Nevada and lima di Murska. She has a half score of gold medals given to her by kings and emperors she is courted by the leaders of the most exclusive artistic sets in Paris, she enjoys an enormous an nual income, and in spite of all this she is as unassuming and mild hammered as though she were at the bottom instead of the top of the ladder of fame.
 Weak imitators of Marchesi in this coun- try are wont to inform aspiring American girls who are anxious to shine in grand opera that if they go to Marchesi she will give them a few high notes to which the balance of the voice will be sacrificed. This is a manifest absurdity and is a device ire quently practiced by impecunious vocal in structors who wish to squeeze the little money out of the victim themselves. These people simply exercise voice. They sell dom or never develop it.
 Marchesi and others like her, on the other hand, make a point of finding out at once the respect in which an individuals voice is strongest or sweetest and then developing those qualities to the utmost. Necessarily the singer is benefited by this policy. Few artists can hope to excel in upper, middle

and lower registers alike. Some one of | these is apt to show off their powers to es- ] pecial advantage, while in the others there
 is nothing more than mediocrity, coupled, l after a course of treatment with Marchesi | or other competent instructors, with ac- curacy of execution. Marchesi realizes that the world likes to be startled. and this she | has endeavored to do with her pupils. Nat | urally she is careful not to destroy the very | thing which will produce the effect she de- l sires.
 1 Marchesi is 5S, of medium height, not | more than feet f inches, and of still no- ticeably fine proportions and with dark, expressive bright eyes The once dark hair of the small, shapely head is silvered over a full forehead-one of those intelligent
 brows which read character Hike book. " | The lower part of the face indicates the de- | cisive, determined nature of the woman, | although the sensitive lips quiver and l tremble with feeling or in listening to | music.
 This famous teacher of vocal art, who | was born in Germany, was educated in | England married to an Italian and resides in France, giving much of her time to the cultivation of American voices. Marchesi's father, Herr von Graumann, a titled gentleman, believed that his chil- dren's education should be directed with a
  thilde accordingly went to London to study music under the famous Garcia. Young | Salvador de Cartrone della Rajata Mar | chesi, banished Neapolitan, who suffered | in the political cause of his king, had als> | journeyed to London after concert tour | through the United States and an operatic engagement in New York to study under | Garcia. A love match followed the meet ing of these two pupils.
 Upon graduating the young couple went on a concert tour to Berlin, Leipsic, Nien- ma and Frank fort-on- the Main and were tri- umphant everywhere. The critics of the day describe the young Mathilde as strik- ingly beautiful and her voice perfect. Her husband was the most famous Mephistophe- les of his time.
 In 1855 Mime. Marchesi accepted the pro fessorship in the vocal department at the conservatory at Vienna, and there she brought out Gabrella kraus of the Paris opera, Antoinette Fricci, Caroline Dory and the late lima di Murska.
 In 1865 she appointed vocal director of the conservatory at Cologne. She also became a member of the leading vocal socie- ty of Italy and spent years both ill Italy and France perfecting herself in their methods. Marches once said, For 90 years I taught eight hours a day in the conservatories, and my pupils were representatives of al- most every nation in the world"
 Her own famous Paris school was found ed in 1884, whence her pupils followed her from Vienna.

"near." He would drive 90 miles and back-a days journey-with 15 pounds of butter to get an advance of cents a pound on the products of his small dairy, and he would spend half day in having time beating down the price of a pitch fork from $1 to 90 cents. He used to keep his daughters busy in the fall gath ering pumpkin seeds. These he would take to market late in the winter.
 We'll, one year the drifts in the Black North were so deep that the roads were we'll nigh impossible, and Won Dusen- binkie did not market his pumpkin seeds until the spring breakup was we'll under way. The mud was deepest along strip of territory about mile wide just north of the Ridge. That natural road was it. self quite dry, and once he could get there with his pumpkin seeds he felt sure he would be all right.
 His progress was slow, and the first indication the Ridge folks had that any one was attempting to reach terra frma from the puddingy region to the north was the sight of commotion in the mire about a mile down the road. It was like 8 feeble, slow moving wave of mud as much as anything. On the sluggish crest of the wave small black object was ob- served. Ridge folks gathered with spy glasses to watch the phenomenon. After about an hour it became apparent that the commotion was caused by horse and a wagon and a man journeying southward. First it was seen that the small black object on the slow moving

I A man with dark blue overcoat and 8 lot of other clothes stood in front of the ] Academy of Music on Saturday afternoon. He had paper bag on one arm, which was l full of something or other, and he was look ing intently up the street. A short man with an old suit of clothes and some straggly gray whiskers walked | rapidly down the street. His head was l bent, and he looked neither to the right nor to the left.
 The tall man looked over the head of the little man. The little man looked between the feet of the tall man. It was 6 o'clock. The wind whistled up the street. A cou- pie of newsboys whistled down the street. The little man came plunging along. The tall man did not move. At o'clock and 30 seconds there was 6 collision. The little man struck the tall man amidships. His shoulder hit the tall mans paper bag. There was peculiar squashy sound, and stream of yellow and a stream of white began to run down the front of the dark blue over coat.
 The little man half stopped. The big man got red in the face .sld tried to think of something apt to say. -....
 "Why." ejaculated the little man, them was eggs in that bag, wasn't they"
 The tall man was so angry that he couldn't speak The front of his overcoat looked like an underdone omelet on a blue dish.
 The little man swerved of to the west and caught his stride again. Il wouldn't give much for 'em now" he added pleas antly. and then he passed along and was around the corner of Seneca street before ths tall man could catch his breath.

 Von Dusenbinkie and His Pumpkin Seeds.
 It is in the springtime that the curse sf mud comes to make the life of him who dwells in the country an abysmal weariness, nightmare and drawn out succession of longings-that is, unless the modern movement for better roads has taken possession of the region and caused highways of solid foundation and smooth, hard surface to be substituted for the fenced in wagon tracks of heaped up earth that still form thousands of miles of the roads of the United States.
 The trouble opens when the snow be- gins to disappear. Perhaps the drifts while melting are quite as trying as the

mud itself in localities far enough north to be within the belt of considerable snowfalls. By a perversity of natural laws the drifts pile themselves up be- tween the fences of the roads and also per sist in spots along the way for days and sometimes weeks after most of the snow has disappeared from the fields. The track of a sleigh is much narrower than that of a wagon. Consequently when so much of the snow has gone that sleigh ing is no longer feasible and whatever travelling is done must be by wagon the wheels, when they come to the lingering drifts, have to make new tracks for them selves outside those that have been beat en hard by the tread of horses feet and the runners of the sleighs. The result is often spreading" which may be due either to dishing of wheels or springing of aXletrees. The latter may even some times break.
 The sketch that accompanies this arti- cle was drawn from memory, but it cor rectly shows forth the conditions to which have referred, likewise the frame of mind into which the bucolic driver is generally thrown when he realizes that he has got into spread" It would not be decorous to repeat in type the Ian guage that sometimes flows from the bu- collie mouth on such occasions.
 It will be pretty clear to the reflective mind why the ruralist, who, to travel, must pass over drifted roads in the spring of the year, aims to go about as little as possible until the roads get set tied, and that when he does drive he ! 1...l,A III will not have more than begun to melt before the frozen ground begins to soft en. The farther north it is the later the general breaking up period, and the colder the previous winter the longer this time of mingled snow and mud will last. - It is not over until all the frost is out of the ground and all the mud is dried up. When that has taken place, the roads are settled.
 The time of greatest horror is when there are alternate stretches of snow and mud along the highways. It is then that the mud has no bottom that can be found, and it is then that he who has to drive 10 or 15 miles has need of all his persistence and fortitude. This is doubly so if his route lie over a road that trav- erses first hill and then valley. The hill roads will be deep in disintegrating drifts, the roads of the wales fathomless with slimy, mucilaginous mixture of mud and water. On the uplands the wagon may spread" and in the low lands the stiff mud may wrench off a wheel. Then, in order to traverse the deeps of the highway, he has to take rail from the roadside fence and make a drag" By this means he escapes the slough into which he has fallen only to be stuck in the next one. Then his horses, tired beyond equine endurance, balk.
 After half an hour of alternate coax ing and whipping they are induced to pull together again, but with such fran tic energy perchance as to break a whif-

The Philadelphia Dog Show.

The Philadelphia Kennel clu has always been very liberal in the amount of prize money offered, and this years premium list is no exception from the rule, There are 139 classes for 36 breeds, and with pre- miums ranging from SIS for first down to ss for third. The more popular breeds and the large dogs of course get the most money, but all are literally provided for.
 The show will be held on March 27 and three following days. It is anticipated that the entries will be the largest ever made for a show in Philadelphia, and as the shows in the past two years were successful in spite of the indictment weather the Philadel, phia Kennel club committee look forward with full confidence that the ensuing exhi. bition will be record one financially.

fetree-which the driver, by the way, calls a wbippletrie. This sort of disas- ter is apt to take place on some lonely stretch of road where there are no houses, and where, if the damage be so great that help must be had, it cannot be got without half mile tramp to the nearest dwelling.
 The attenuation of hill and drifts and vale and mud does not occur, of course, on the roads of the prairie states or any other flat region, but the hilly roads, after all, have certain advantages, for where there are hills there is gravel, and there are stones, and these tend tc mitigate in some degree the depth of the mud. But the level reaches of western New York and of Illinois and Iowa and Kansas and Nebraska are stoneless, and the soil is deep, and when soaked with the combined moistures of melting snows and copious spring rains is of about the same consistency as dough-that is, too wet.
 The roads that traverse the strip of western New York country that lies between the Ridge-a natural road that was in geological cons the shore of a vast inland sea-and Lake Ontario are quite as fathomless at breaking up time as are any that exist in the flat states of the west. Those more fortunate in dividuals who live on and south of the Ridge have much enjoyment of the vernal plight of their friends who dwell in what they all call the Black North. There are many stories told of the foun- derings about of the Black North men at this season of the year, and here is one. It is possibly an exaggeration, but it has amused many generations of Ridge folks, and in the language of the present day ''it goes"
 Living in that section of the Black North that is bisected by an imaginary line drawn from Brockport, on the New York Central railroad, to the pole star, there was many years ago a farmer named Von Dusenbinkie.
