The Musical Voice,

DR.. Pegg, who was once an associate
Of Able Liszt, entertains the opinion
that the voices of singers may be affect
ed by their diet. In those parts of Eu-
rope where fish is the chief article of
food, there are few fine vocalists and
the voice in ordinary speech there is apt
to lack delicacy Of timbre and also dig
nifty. DIR. Pegg has come to the conclu-
sion that the food most desirable for
singers is of gramnivorous kind, yet
they Inay properly include moderate
quantity of meat in their daily repast
He discards the idea that malt liquors
give strength to the voice, though they
may stimulate its action for a brief
time. They had better be avoided by
those singers who desire to keep their
tones fresh and rich.
The smoking habit is not necessarily
injurious to the voice, if the indulgence
in it be well restrained and temperate.
DR.. Pegg has no patience with those
French composers protesting to be SYM
bolists who would mingle with music
the "potent spirit of perfume. The
ancient Romans believed that in per-
fume there was subtle power to create
emotion, but it ought not to be used in
combination with music to intensity an
artistic impression. The music alone
should be all powerful

THE FASHION PLATE.

A dainty little bonnet is Of puffed
chiffon over passementerie edge The
crown is Of passementerie, and the trim
ming is of ostrich tips.
Bead garniture of rich and elaborate
sort is becoming rage. There is no
handsomer trimming made, and it rare
ly stays out of favor for. any length Of
time.
Wraps to wear over bathing costumes
are made Of any sort Of fancy plaid.
Heavy material is preferable, as it stays
in place much better and is more man
ageable.
A stylish cape is of accordion plated
clairette, with stripes Of very elaborate
and handsome brocaded ribbon. These
stripes run from the collar to the lower
edge of the garment.
The little close bonnet fitting the head
and occupying but little more space than
a headdress is much liked. A handsome
model is made of box plated velvet,
with three full ostrich tips.
Velvet sleeves and soft belts are worn
with dresses of extremely thin material.
A dress of embroidered chiffon over silk
has enormous puffs of velvet for sleeves
and soft belt set on in corselet fashion.
A stylish waist is made Of taffeta in
shepherds plaid. The front is in blouse
fashion, with plaits from the very mar
row yoke. A long point of lace is sewed
down each of those plaits to the bust.
There is a lace collar and standing
ruching of the taffeta. The sleeves are
very large, with taffeta ruffies below the
elbows. York Ledger.

The Night Migrating Birds.

The weird, sweet, annual mystery of
the night migrating birds has begun.
Last night, sitting in a canoe on the
lake, the listener heard for a long time
the soft. aerial twitterings and calls
which mean to the birds, bound on their
long journey, perhaps from Canada to
Florida, what keeping hold of hands,
means to human beings. "Chirp? Lit
tie one, are you there? It's long way
to Cuba, do you know, and you've new
er been there before. - "Chirp! chirp /!
Here am I, I should rather say! Going
to Cuba's nothing when you feel the
way in your bones, and i'll your wings
especially, and in your very pinfeath-
ers. Chirp, chirp, twitter, twitter
Come on, mamma, well lead the way !"
On, on, indeedi
All night long, no doubt, one might
hear the soft calls and even the futter,
now and then, of tireless wings. Do the
old birds know every lake and stream
on their way? Possibly. They seem to
follow familiar paths in all they do,
and yet what almost world reaching
journeys they makel This rosy pine

bird could be put into my lady's thin

needle, but there is no man who has

ABSOLUTELY PURE


The appearance of Mrs James BrcwL
Potter at Days theater recalls con-
versation that I had recently with a
lady who is a friend of James Brown
Potter.
Jimmie Potter told me not long
ago." she said, 'tthat he was ready to
take his wife back whenever she was
willing to come and never ask ques-
tion. He said he had kept his home as
much like it was when she was mistress
of it as was possible, and he had taken
pains especially to keep her room just
as she had left it, so that if by any
chance she should ever wish to come
back she would find welcome in the
familiar things that are there. He de-
clared that he did not care anything at
all about what the world might say. A
home was waiting for his wife when
ever she wanted it. :"
There is touch of pathos in that dec
laration which is not inconsistent with
the devotion that James Brown Potter
always showed to his brilliant wife.
To selfish natures this declaration
would seem most weak, but to those
forever-and doubt not that there are
such, although they may be few-the
attitude of James Brown Potter will be
thoroughly understood. .s.
Altruism sometimes reaches to the
plane of heroism, and the unselfshness
of this man is indeed lofty, but for all
that I think it most improbable that
Mrs James Brown Potter will ever
take advantage of the love that seems
never to have left her and keeps a
home always ready for her.-Cholly

Chopin rarely read anything heavier

Lord Olive said that Robinson Cru

St. John Chrysostom never tired OF
reading or of praising the works OF the
Apostle John.
James I of England was a lover OF
the classics and very familiar with most
of the Latin writers.
Bunyan read little besides his Bible,
and often said that Christians would do
we'll to read no other book.
Salvador Rosa liked any kind of
poetry, but more especially that relating
to the country or to country scenes
Mrs. Siddons gave much attention to
the history Of the drama and had an
extensive library Of this kind Of matter.
Hume said that Tacitus was the
ablest writer that ever lived and him
self tried to model his style on that Of
the Roman historian.
Locke gave most Of his attention to
works of philosophy. He said, II stand
amazed at the profundity OF thought
shown By Aristotle.
The elder Pitt liked Shakespeare, but
not the labor Of reading plays. He en-
joyed hearing them and once said that
he had learned more English history at
the theater than at the university.
Shelley read with close attention all
the works he could find antagonizing
Christianity. He thought he was an

An Adroit Teacher.

Consideration for others is not always
rewarded in this world, howsoever it
may be in the next. The Nashua IN.
Fl. school board wished to get rid of a
teacher for what was, to it, incompe-
tence, but in order not to interfere with
the teachers prospects elsewhere tho
board committee agreed to elect hel,
provided she would resign at once. She
was elected, did resign, but before 40.
ceptance by the board she withdrew her
resignation and substituted a request
to be relieved of certain work, which
the board refused to grant, and thereby
rather estopped itself from demanding
her resignation. This young woman may
not be a very good teacher, but she is q

pors AND STOVES.

The fires of energy are lighted very soon
in life and the struggle begins, as the say
ing is, "to keep the pot boiling" But
speaking literally, fires are still kindled
with kerosene, and many pot boils over
or is overturned. Frightful burns and
scalds result in spite of warning and suf-
fering. The thing is then not to preach
but to practice, and the practice is, for a
sure cure, - use St. Jacobs Oil according
to directions.
