INFLUENZA AND vocAL1sTs.
Recent Prevalence Of the NIaIady
Has Led Physicians TO Deep Study
of the Subject.

England is in the throes qf~Ee in
Huenza, and while the nation ge sssrally
is trying to find out how it is thai tha
doctors do not seem to know anything
about it, the great army of vocalists
who have suffered from the scourge,
are lamenting their lost voices. and
asking how they can be wooed back.
So prevalent has been this plague
among musicians, that the absentees
from it have reached at some enter
tainments the formidable proportion OF
50 per cent. One of its effects is
aphonia, an affection from which anna
teur vocalists enjoy a remarkable i'm
munity, but which, with cruel perver-
sity, harnesses and disables the profess
siOnal singer. The matter assumed
such serious phase that it has been
taken UP by a musical journal which
mas prescribed course of tTeatlSssnr
calculated to rehabilitate and -,
awaken the lost voice.
The cause of loss of voice. as the
oracle sagaciOusly observes, is want of
tone, or general weakness of the sys-
tenn, and the remedy must be a general
building up" The voiceless Vocalist
is told that cod liver oil and COM
pound syrup of hypOphosphites. either
alone or together, would be beneficial
to take. and a stimulating Hnfment
such as hartshorn and oil should be ap-
piled externally, with limitations OF
turpentine, fir wood oil, or creosote. a
damp cloth being placed over the head
so that perfect inhalation Of the medi.
Gated steam is ensured.
The above treatment, with absolute
rest Of the voice and patience, VIII
prove beneficial, unless some orga6f.
defect is the cause: but medical advice
is desirable if possible.

CHILDREN'S ENTERTAINMENT.
A Pleasant Affair at the Eighteenth
Ward Hall.

There was a crowded house at the
children's entertainment given last
evening in the Eighteenth ward hall
for the benefit of the Utah kindergar-
ten. The performers were the children
of the primary department of the
Twentieth ward school.
The first number on the programme
was a cantata in which thirty-fve Of
the children lead by Misses Jennie Sal
mon, Irene and Jennie Romney, Bessie
and Allie Neslen, took part and rem.
dered the cantata 1.-THE Crown of Rea
ward in. a very creditable manner.
The balance of the programme con-
sisted of number of tableaux in
which the little ones took their parts
in quite a pleasing way. The most
striking picture was one entitled
Woman Suffrage" which was pre-
scented IN two scenes, the first showing
the ballot box with the corruptions,
which often surround it at the present
time and the second showing what il
will be when the purifying and elevat-
ing influence of the ladies when thew
enjoy suffrage is thrown around it.
The other tableaux were Maud Muller.

SLEEPY GRASS.

Strange Effect Upon CattIJ4

1t Grows in New Mexico and = 4
Strange Effect Upon CattIJE
In some parts of New Mexico there
grows a grass which produces a soma
niferous effect on the animals that
Craze upon it. Horses, after eating the
grass, in nearly all cases sleep stand
ing while cows and sheep almost in4
variably lie down. It has occasionally
happened that travellers have stopped
TO allow horses to feed in places where
the grass grows pretty thickly, and the
animals have had time to eat a con-
siderable quantity before it's effects
manifested themselves. In such cases
horses have gone to sleep on the road,
and 1t Is hard to arouse them.
The effect of the grass passes off in
an hour or two, and no bad results
nave ever been noticed on account Of
1t. Cattle on the ranches frequently
come upon patches of this grass,
where they feed for perhaps half an
hour, and then fall asleep for an hour
or more, when they wake up and start
feeding again.
The programme is repeated perhaps
a dozen times, until thirst ObHges then
to go to water. Whether, like the
poppy, the grass contains opium. o.
whether its sleep-producing properly
is due to some other substance. has
not been determined.

new ocean steamer ST. Paul off the
coast of Gloucester, Mass, from Care
Ann to Cape Porpoise and return, q
distance of about lightweight miles,
was another success for American
vessel builders. The outward speed
was 1865 knots and the return 21.5S
knots. an average of 2o.57 knots, an
even half a knot in excess of the gov
ernment's condition of acceptance as
an auxiliary cruiser in time Of war.
Though not quite up to the record of
her sister ship, the st. Louis, it is be-

is in complete running order. Together

Much to the relief of the French
ment, the troops of France have captur-
ed Antananarivo, and now hold sway
over Madagascar There is no doubt
that for some time the outlook for the
French on the island has been extreme
ly dubious SO much so that the French
ministers have been anxiously endeav-
oring to disclaim as much as possible
the responsibility for the expedition.
The fever and the climate of the coast
had been threatening the lives of the
French soldiers for some time when
the generals in command decided upon
the risky experiment of flying column
detached from the regular lines of COM
munication with the purpose Of taking
the capital by assault. The dash has
succeeded, although it does not seem
possible that had the Hoyas attempted
any really adequate resistance it would
have done so. A column like that sent
overland by the French is exposed to
manifold dangers, and its complete isOn
lation in the country of an enemy makes
it only too easy a matter for the hostile
forces to lay waste the country and
defeat the invaders by starvation if by
no other means. The Hovas, however
missed their opportunity, and Madagas
car is under French control in fulfill,
ment of the plans held by the French
government ever since Great Britain
agreed to recognize that France had a
zone of influence on the island. 1t is
not likely that any one will try to as.
cribe the invasion to any other cause
than a desire for spoliation and con-
quest. France in Madagascar was led
by the same impulses that actuated it
in Siam. 1t is after territorial aggran.
dizement, and the success Of it's efforts
are not yet past the day when civilized
nations consider that they have a NOR
al right to appropriate whatever loose
territory weaker powers are unable to
maintain against them. No doubt En-.
gland views the present conquest with
disfayor, but she is the last of nations
to assume the right to protest Posi-
bly, her complacency during this maneu.
yer is due to desire for a return of fl.
vors whenever a similar performance
may be undertaken in her own inter,
est 1t is easy for one Of the powers of
Europe to overlook affairs of the kind
if there is room to believe that its own
peccadillos in the same direction will
be allowed to pass unheeded.
