FLOWERS FOR SINGERS.
Their Perfume Is Apt to Spoil tf

Their Perfume Is Apt to Spoil the
Voice --vioiots Are the Worst.
Miss May Yohe has confided to an in
terviewer the interesting fact that she
cannot 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 DR..
Joal, of Mont Dore, has published an
elaborate paper on the subject. He re-
lates number of cases which have
come under his own observation in
which thickness, huskiness and even
complete loss Of voice are always caused
BY penetrating odors. In some persons
1t is only the perfume of particular
flowers that produce this effect; in 9TH
ers 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 teach
ers caution their pupils against hav-
ing them In their dressing rooms, and
jealous prima donna has been knowu
to secure herself against the possible
triumph of a rival by treacherously
presenting her with magnificent bou-
quet just before she went on the stage.
on the voice is borne by Nine. Christine
Nilsson and other famous singers, and
by laryngologists like DR.. Fauvel and
DIR. Gouguenhelm, of Paris. The flower
which has the worst reputation In this
respect Is the violet, but there Is no evil
dence that 1t Is really more harmful to
the voice than other sweet smelling
flowers, such as the rose, the mignon-
cite, the heliotrope, the lily of the val
ley, the gardenia. the lilac, and the
tuberose. The explanation of this curl
Gus idiosyncracy is probably to be
found In special sensitiveness Of the
olfactory mucous membrane to the ac-
ton, mechanical or chemical, OF GER
tain odorous particles. The mechanism
Is, roughly speaking, congestion of the
mucous membrane of the turbinate
bodies, which, 1t will be remembered,
Is largely erectile, followed by reflex
vasomotor disturbance Of the vocal ap-
paratus. Dr. Joal says that the effect
manifests itself not only in congestion
OF the nose, nasopharynx, and larynx,
but In paresis Of the constructor mus
cles of the CLOTHS and spasms Of the
bronchial tubes. The respiratory capac-
ity as tested by the spirometer, is no.
tably reduced, and the voice not only
loses brilliancy and volume, but part
of its compass, and the singer is much
more easily fatigued than in his nat
ural state. The moral seems to be that
singers who are the subjects of this
particular infirmity must Danish, not
only flowers, but all strong perfumes
from their environment IL they wish
their voices to be at their BEST in par
ticular, they must be careful not to ac-
cept bouquets from injudicious admir-
ers or rival artists.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

opportune Appearance of Man Who
Was Supposed to BE Murdered.
A hanging was once averted in Hall
county, this state, in thrilling man
ner says Atlanta Constitution. man
was murdered for his money, it was
thought. He disappeared, and, after
long search, only a skeleton was found.
There were circumstances pointing to
another man as the perpetrator of the
awful deed. The clue was taken up
and one by one the links in the chain
Of convicting evidence were discovered.
He was placed on trial, convicted and
sentenced The day for the hanging
came. People by the thousands came
to see a human being swung off into
eternity. The black cap was placed
over the victims face, and In FIVE min
utes the tragedy would have been over.
Just then tall mountaineer, who had
been attracted to the hanging along
with the crowd, stepped upon the scat
fold and brief colloquy between him
and the sheriff ensued. The tall noun
taineer was the man who had disap-
peared and whose death was about to
be avenged by the law.

gowning. The stylish miss of tender
years, who is the subject OF this sketch,
wears dress Of rose pink liberty satin
that Is gathered around the neck, leav-
ing the dress perfectly loose, and fas-
tening invisibly in back. The lining Is
pink China silk and the satin skirt is
tucked several times around the bot
tom. For garniture there are a tucked
ruffie around the neck and frills to
match on the wide, puffed sleeves,
which have fitted lining. Such a sim
pie gown can be made effective in al
most any material, but some bright
stuff Is desirable because Of the lack
of snowy trimming.
Paste buttons are used on fancy bod
ices for grown folks, and paste buckles
are admissible for children. Care should
be taken, however, to prevent an APP
pearance of gorgeousness, which Is the
worst sort of taste in the little folks,
who then seem as If they were fairly
weighted down with baubles. Both
wraps of fieece-lined hannellette should
be in the wardrobe of every child. They
are made just like those of grown folk
and the little ones enjoy them just as
much. No matter whether you approve
of boomers for women or not, let the
little daughter wear them. Up to II
years old at any rate she is safe from
being stared at, and the exercise will be
worth twice to her what 1t would be

Bullet Proof Shields.

Hardware: The invention of bullet

a special sub-department for the expo

point is laid down by a New York engi-
neer, which is that the outer surface If
such material should be of soft yield
ing material.
This breaks the blow, and then the
resisting material is apt to ward off eff
fectually the force of the projectile. If
the outer surface is hard and unyield-
ing the blow is sometimes so great as
to overpower the recipient of the shot,
and instances are on record that men
on the battlefield have been actually
killed by this shock.
The whole subject is an intricate one,
and the progress made in it is not such
as to deter the inventor from thinking

WOMAN AND HOME.
BOSTON BAKED BEANS,

Best Food on Earth When Properly Pre-
parcd-lmpossible to Get the Genuine
Article Outside of the Hub, But Hero Ia
Recipe as Used by Down east House,
wives.
A story is related in connection with
baked beans which, although 1t has
never been proved to be true, is a
strong testimonial in favor of the dish.
1t is to the effect that Bostonian de-
layed for weeks in New York on busi-
ness wearily sought place after place in
search of his favorite dish. Invariably
he had served up to him the alleged
article, that was to him uneatable. Fin
ally he found u restaurant where he was
personally assured by waiter that he
could have the genuine article When
the beans came they were of the stock
New York kind, and the Bostonian, in
n fit of anger, drew a revolver and shot
the waiter in the arm.
He was arraigned before Justice who
once lived in Boston, who, after he had
heard the facts in the case, discharged
the prisoner on the ground that he was
fully justified in shooting. No matter
how ignorant the justice was of law, he
at least knew BEANS"
Another story, which also testifies to
the value of beans, is related of some
Gloucester fishermen. The crew of a
coasting vessel spied fishing schooner
ut little distance with the United
States flag flying from the masthead
union down, which is always signal
of distress. The schooner was not ap-
parently disabled and all her rigging
was in ship-shape order. But thinking
something serious had happened or at
least that the fishermen had run out of
water, the captain of the coaster sent
boat to the schooner to ascertain the
trouble. When it neared the schooner
one of the men cried out:
Whats the matter; do you need
waterP"
mo, we've got plenty of water and
provisions" was the reply, but we
have been out of beans two weeks-we
want beans"
The reason why baked beans outside
of New England are so unlike the gen.
uine article is that they are not proper
ly cooked, and more especially because
they are not cooked in an old-fashioned
down-east bean pot. There are prob
ably no real bean pots on sale outside
of New England. They are all about
the same in appearance, and are made
of potter's clay, which is the material
flower pots are made of.
Anyone can have nice baked beans
If he secures bean pot and follows
these directions: First get your beans.
The large red kidney variety is largely
used, but the small, white pea bean Is
more generally popular.
One quart of beans is sufficient when
cooked for two meals for an average
family. They should be soaked in cold
water for an hour or so. Then salt and
pepper should be added, together with
half teaspoonful of mustard and half
n teacupful of molasses. The molasses
gives the beans delicious flavor, and,
at the same time, it is not too pro-

The judge took his seat, scrutinized

his throat and began.

THE ART OF CARVING.
Hints for Women Anxious to Excel In This
Masculine Accomplishment.

Hints for Women Anxious to Excel in This
Masculine Accomplishment.
In these revolutionary days, when
women are usurping most of mems
privileges and prerogatives, and are
having thrust upon them so many of
mems burdens, it is eminently fitting
and proper that they should consider
the question of carving seriously. Not
very many families dine in Russian
fashion from the sideboard with the aid
of dignified butler. In most house
holds some one has to carve, before the
eyes of the assembled diners. and it be-
hooves women that they should be able
to perform the little rite with grace and
skill. If they succeed in doing this
they will do more than their lords and
masters have often succeeded in doing.
A good knife of moderate size and
sharpness is necessity. The platter
should be placed near enough to the
carver to give her control of it. In
roast pieces, such as loins, breast, fore
quarters and the like, the butcher
should have been instructed to separate
the joints so that carving may not be
impossible. In carving beef, mutton,
lamb and veal, thin, smooth, neat slices
are desirable. They should always be
cut across the grain, taking care to
pass the knife through to the bones of
the meat.
In carving leg of mutton the best
slices are obtained from the center and
the next best from the broad end The
pieces from the part next the lsnuckle
are apt to be dry. A sirloin of beef
yields its best slices from the end near
the tenderloin. If it is cut through in
this part the pieces must be fairly
thick; If long, thin slices are desired it
should be cut across.
In carving turkey or chicken place
the head to the right, cut off the wing
nearest, then the leg, and then the
second joint; then slice the breast until
a rounded piece appears. Insert the
knife between that and the bone and
separate them; this is considered the
best part of the bird. Next comes the
''merry-thought." After this turn over
the bird little and just below the
breast will be found the ''oyster,"
which can be separated as the inner
breast can be. The side bone lies be-
side the rump, and the morsel can be
taken out without separating the whole |
bone. Proceed in the same way with |
the other Side-N Y World
