SUCCESS IN OPERA.

Method and Training Are Absolutely
Necessary for Progress.
Method and training are absolutely
necessary to a singers success. | am
no believer in a natural voice." A
s~hepherdess may sing so sweetly as to
enchant her hearers, but she lacks that
method which, to my mind, is essential
to the professional vocalist. l am a
believer in the old Italian school and
think it is the only true one. My belief
in it is, perhaps, due to the fact that
both my teachers, Lamperti and Errapi,
use only this method. No singer can
hope to preserve her voice without an
immense amount Of self-denial. Great
care should be taken as to diet and reg
ularity OF hours, particularly the latter,
writes Agnes Huntington in Kate
Fields Washington. Without constant
vigilance IN these respects, l should not
have been able to sing for three hum
bred and forty-six consecutive perform
ances in paul jones' without ex-
cessive fatigue, or without injuring the
quality or strength of my voice. As
Lamperti has often said, every throat
and voice varies; no two can be handled
in exactly the same way He is very
particular not to develop the head tones
until the latter part Of the second year.
To a pupil who wishes to advance more
rapidly he answers that the head tones
are not ripe enough to work with,
and to use them before they are ready
would take from them their sweetness
and beauty, and also weaken their
powers of endurance.
1t is as difficult to resist trying, and
patiently to wait for the moment to
come when permission is given to use
notes you feel you possess, as it is to
realize the irreparable damage n may
do by insisting upon singing exercises
and arias that call into use these un-
trained tones. But, so far as my short
experience goes, there is only one
method, the old Italian, that viii en-
able a singer to make the greatest use
of every note in her voice with the
least tax upon it. Lamperti insists that
a singer who possesses a correct
method of using the voice can sing
effectively and without harm, even
when suffering from a cold or when in
deep grief. l have done the former,
but am convinced that l could never ae-
complish the latter.

Thirty Years e. waiting for Vengeance
shocked tnto a Cooked Hat.
We were sitting on the seranda Of a
hotel at Niagara Falls, writes a New
York Sun contributor, when I noticed
the man on my right looking sharply at
the man on nay left, and ~presentlF he
got up in an excited way and walked
about. After a bit he halted before the
other man and asked:
Isn't your name Grahamg"
"fes, sir, was the prompt reply.
Didn't you used to teach school at
Elmira?n
I'm 1852"
eyes, sir"
"Do you remember a boy named God
kin?r
Every distinctly, sir"
do you remember that he put a
package Of ire-crackers under his desk
and touched them of2a
'As if it happened only yesterday"
"And you basted him for it?"
Il did. licked him until he could
hardly stand, and I've always been glad
of it."
"You have. ehPn said the other,
breathing fast and hard. DO you
know that that boy swore a terrible
oath?"
Il presume he did, as he was a thor
ough young villain
"He swore an oath that he would grow
up and hunt for you and pound you
within IN inch of your life"
"But l haven't heard from him yet"
"You hear from him now! BE stands
before you! I am that boyF'
"Well?'
prepare to be lickedl My time has
come at last..n
He made a dive for the old pedagogue,
but the latter evaded him, made a half
turn and hit him on the jaw, and Godkin
went over a chair in a heap. Then the
whilom -schoolmaster piled onto him
and licked him until he cried Enough"
and it didn't take him over three min
utes to do it. Then he retired to get on
another collar and replace some but
tons, and l helped Godkin up and OBJ
served:
"You didn't wait quite long enough, l
guess"
'Sayl That's where | made a mis-
cue!' he replied. 81 see now that
ought to have held off until he had got
to be about $50 years old. The old
devil is all of 20 now, but he licked me
right off the reel, and I'll never have the
sand to stand up to him again. Here's
thirty years Of waiting for vengeance
