FLOWERS AND THE VOICE.
Curious Effect of Perfumes on Sing
ers-The Violet the Worst.

From the British Medical Journal
Miss May Yohe has confded to an inter-
viewer the interesting fact that she can
not bear to have flowers near her when
singing, as their perfume utterly destroys
her voice The lady added that she could
not account for this curious fact" The
effect of flowers on the voice has recently
excited good deal of attention in France
and DIR. Joel of Mont Dore has published
an elaborate paper on the subject He re-
lates a number of cases which have come
under his own observation in which
thickness. huskiness and even complete
loss of voice are always caused by pene-
trating odors. In some persons 1t is only
the perfume of particular flowers that
produces this effect; in others, the odor
of incense or musk, or the smells of the
kitchen, lanyard or smithy act in the same
way.
The bad effect of flowers on the voice is
so well known among singers that M.
Faure. Nine. Krause and other eminent
teachers caution their pupils against hav-
ing them in their dressing rooms, and
Jealous prima donna has been known to
secure herself against the possible triumph
of rival by treacherouSiy presenting her
with a magnificent bouquet Just before she
went on the stage. Testimony to the evil
effects of flowers on the voice is borne by
Nine. Christine Nilsson and other famous
singers, ana Dy ldTynSOlOglSlS ike Df.
Fauvel and DR.. Gouguenheim of Paris.
The flower which has the worst reputa-
'tiOn in this respect is the violet, but there
is no evidence that it is really more harm
full to the voice than other understanding
flowers, such as the rose, the mignonette,
the heliotrope, the lily of the valley the
gardenia, the lilac and the tube rose. The
explanation of this curious idiosyncrasy is
probably to be found in a special sensi-
tiveness of the olfactory mucous mem
brane to the action, mechanical or chemi-
cal, of certain odorous particles. The me-
chanism is, roughly speaking, congestion
of the mucous membrane of the turbinate
bodies, which, it will be remembered, is
largely erectile, followed by reflex vase
motor disturbance of the vocal apparatus.
DR.. Joal says that the effect manifests
itself not only in conges ton of the nose,
nosopharynx and larynx, but in paresis
of the constructor, muscles of the CLOTHS
and spasms of the bronchial tubes The
respiratory capacity, as tested by the
spirometer,. Is notably reduced, and the
voice not only loses brilliancy and volume,
but part of its compass, and the singer is
much easily fatgued than in his natural
state.
The moral seems to be that singers who
are the subjects OF this particular infrmi-
ty must Danish not only flowers but all
strong perfumes from Their environment
II they wish their voices to be at their best;
IN particular, they must be careful not to
accept bouquets from inJud.cious admir-
ers or rival artists.

REVIVED INTEREST IN FALcoNRY.
Emperor William Seeking to RE-
establish the sport In Germany.
From the New York TrIbur

From the New York Tribune
The time-honored sport OF fslconry, once
so famous among the European nations,
has almost entirely died out. In England
1t has never been allowed to become
absolutely dead, and the Hawking Club
holds regular meets at which the picture
esque pastime of falconry Is represented
An attempt is being made by the Emperor
of Germany to revive the ancient sport
among the aristocracy Of his court The
young monarch has added to his imperial
establishment an extensive collection of
gentle art. in its former proud posi-
ton. The pastime can boast Of an ex-
treineiy ancient origin Sir Henry Lay
ard, the Archaeological, In the course OF
his excavations at Khorsabad, unearthed
bas-relief which depicted an Assyrian
falconer carrying a hawk upon his wrist
The date ascrfbed to the tablet is 1900
Il. c., 50 that the sport is at least 1900
years old. The hawk is a familiar figure
among the Assyrian inscriptions, while
Nisroch, one of their gods, is always
represented being the head of a hawk
The sport probably reached it's zenith
in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries,
when every man knew. how to herd a
hawk or lure a falcon. 1t occupied a
prominent place among all the nations OF
Europe, but especially OF England and
Germany. Up TO the beginning Of the
sixteenth century the court Of no noble
was complete without the news and fall
coners belonging to his retinue. The mag

the official returns, as filed with the different
county clerks, showed that the widest claims
of the republicans and the best returns that
could be obtained fell short. The election

republican party claimed. Later they ad-
varced their claims under the influence Of
the press returns to 900. The results in
the counties as filed show that Griggs re-
ceved 26 800 plurality over McGill The re-
publicans from enc end of the state to the
other were celebrating today and boasting
that this time next year will find New Jer-
sey safely in the republican column of presi-
