the literary feeling, which is the neces-

gradually developed, until now the
west may be said to have fairly en-

A lew comparisons were then drawn
between western literature and that of
the east and south. The literature of
the west is not so psychological as that
If the east, nor SO emotional as that
of the south. 1t is the literature of ac-
Eion, not reflection. In the east the
thought material IS complex, as in

The Magazine Club.

The Magazine club of Ogden met on
Wednesday afternoon at Mrs. Camp
BELLS. Though the rain poured, the
ladies who were so brave as to weather
the storm were more than repaid by
the delightful hours spent with the
hostess. Several matters of interest
outside the club work were brought up,
books and authors discussed and a gen.
ial time generally was enjoyed. While
the ladies slipped their tea and partook
of the cake which Mrs. Campbell served
in the drawing-room at o'clock, the
prospective old-fashioned quilting 'bee'
was spoken of as a certainty, to take

the art. 1t reads as follows:
How to Sing.
First-Be perfectly natural Sing as
you talk and read, feel happy and
look it.
second-A1l practice should be done
with medium power of voice without
forcing. If you force your voice you
will ruin it forever.
Third-Stand up before a mirror
when you practice; by this means you
will avoid facial contortions and learn
to open your mouth properly.
Fourth-In practicing you must be
thoughtful and systematic; beware of
teachers who teach their own peculiar
methods. Stick to the masters of the
old school of music. French, Ger
man, etc.
Fifth-Practice specially on the
vowel sounds and on words in the
different languages in which you are
called upon to sing.
Sixth-Don't practice too long;
twenty or thirty minutes at most is
enough. Abandon Immediately a
teacher who makes you sing longer
than that at one lesson.
Seventh-Acquire ease, self-control
and confidence. Grace of manner is
A44NiSRCIiS1biC " PASdOC llIc pQOllC.
Eighth-The best exercise is to prac-
tice daily the simple tones, each sep
arately, increase and decrease them
by turns.
Ninth-Take your breath from the
lips as long as you can and keep it as
long as possible.
Tenth-Avoid tremolo as you would
rattlesnake. 1t is fault of many,
teachers to let their pupils tremble
their tones; it is horrible and must
be avoided. 1t shows weakness and
lack Of good training.
Eleventh-The muscles controlling
the voice will surely yield to treat
ment just as any other of the muscles
of the body. The only things requisite
for practice is steadiness, regularity
and method.
Twelfth-If you would be an opera
singer you must take lessons in acting.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in elocution and
expression in French, German, Italian
and other languages are necessary.
Fourteenth-The Italian methods are
good only for light opera, such as
Lucia, Favorita, Norma, etc For
operas such as Wagner's Monks, the
German methods are the best; the
French come next.
Fifteenth-Beware Of teachers who
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-12-09

have never studied vocal music, they
| will ruin your voice.
Sixteenth-Rather pay IS to a good
! teacher for one lesson than S. to a
| bad one for a. term.
| Seventeenth-Rather take lessons
from someone who knows about sing
| ing himself.
! Eighteenth-A man ought always to
| learn from a man. a lady from a lady
| Nineteenth-A teacher must teach his
pupils, above everything else, to
breathe insensibly. That is considered
above all the greatest difficulty.
TWentieth-Forget when you sing
that you have a throat, it must never
be contracted.
Twenty first-When you begin study
ing try to find a teacher who viii
make you start in your daily practice
with the vowel o. 1t is considered in
Europe. the best for a foundation and
you cannot begin practicing on the
vowel A without singing from the
throat and it is essential that that or
gan remain loose and uncontrolled.
-second-Avoid all gliding
sliding and scraping. The tone must
be firm and the greater its purity and
steadiness the better it IS.
Twenty third-Study the words to be
sung
Twen'ty-fourth-Si with your heart
to reach the hearts Of others.
Twenty-ffth-A singer who can be
understood is worth fifty who don't
pronounce their words.
enty-sixth-Recite aloud often.
Twenty eVenth-WoCk always You
can learn something every day of your
life. Above all don't lose confidence in
yourself, you viii find by those means
the way of becoming a singer.
Twenty eighth-When you choose a
teacher pay attention to those who
teach their own methods, always
choose one vino follows the methods

from Bret Harte and Joaquin Miller,
California has few writers of national
fame; yet there are many who have
done good work and whose fame may
yet travel beyond their own and neigh
boring states. 1t was in California and
Nevada that the fame of Mark Twain
began. Mrs. Parsons concluded her
paper by giving interesting sketches of
Charles Warren Stoddard, E. w. Sill,
Ambrose Bierce and Gertrude Ather-
ton.
Mrs. Richie gave, in conclusion, an
entertaining and we'll written account
of Bret Harte and Joaquin Miller. She
