by him in India, the very fountain
head of magic and home or mystery,
isn't it queer to read of some other
magician advertising an exactly SIM
liar feat which can but be an imitation
since the second magician has never
been in India, where the first-named
got his ideas at first hand? And if
the first imitator may go so far as to
attempt for money to duplicate KEEL
lars original discoveries, may not a
score of lesser imitators go ahead with
palpably crude reproductions of the
reproducer's performances, so multiply

Kellar's researches in Hindostan has

VOICES OF BAD QUALITY.
Americans Are Not Noted for the
Musical Tones They Employ.


Boston Transcript
The American voice has won an un.
enV1able reputation for it's supposed
dlsagreeable quality. This reputation
is in part deserved, for the careful OBJ
server can fail to notice that many of
our people in ordinary conversation are
constantly. in error in regard to their
natural pitehsand utterly fail in purity
OF tone. They speak in either too high
or too low key, and the tones are
more or less forced into a disagreeable
mixture of the nasal-muscular quality.
Apologists have attributed this defect
to the nervous temperament of the peo-
pie and to the disastrous effects of a
variable climate. But the true expla-
nation is found in a lack of proper
training. The American voice when
! properly ecfucated. is no less melodious
and agreeable than that of any other
nationality. $3.50.
Bad quality of voice is due simply 10
bad habit in its use. Correct the habit
and the voice is changed and becomes
what it was designed to be by the Crea-
| tor, 1t is amazing that so many young
men spend, after a long period of pre-
paratory training, four years in college,
| and an almost equal period thereafter
IN professional schools and then go to
the pulpit or bar totally untitled vocal
ly for the successful prosecution Of
their Ire work. And it is even more
amazing that multitudes fitted by their
culture to adorn social life destroy
their chances of success by a lack of
vocal training. They might have been
good singers. readers or reciters but
for their own neglect.
The benefits of proper vocal study are
not limited to the voice alone. but have
an Important bearing upon the general
health. The methodical development of
the organs of respiration brings an in
creased amount of oxygen to the blood
removing more effectually the waste
products of the body asing the
circulation and stimulating the diges-
tive processes. Weak lungs are
strengthened and the general bodily
health improved. If for no other reason
vocal training ought to be regarded as
Indispensable.
Such instruction is productive of bet
ter results If begun in youth, for at the
plastic period of life the throat and ear
are most easily educated and bad habits
of utterance are thus avoided. But the
training can be undertaken at any pc
Rod Of life with positive advantage.
If correct system of vocal physiol-
ogy and technique We're engrafted into
our public school system, there would
be an immense gain to the culture of
the nation. Not all are public speak
ers or readers but everybody talks, and
to converse in a well-modulated. melo-
dious voice is az accomplishment worth

yeranda Shelf for Planta

Plants in pots make an especially at tractive dressing for the veranda. And here, too, they can be easily cared for To show them to the best advantage put up shelf just inside the rail, and lit. tic below it. In this way the flowers will show to great advantage from the outside and the pots will be in no dan- ger of being overturned, as they surely are when resting upon the broad top of a veranda rail. Another advantage hus gained is that the pots are not fully OK. posed to the sun, and the roots are not likely to be burned out. A flower box of considerable length, and just high enough to cover the top of the rail, will also prove very attractive when filled with n choice collection of flowers. It does house plants much good, moreover, to get them out of doors in this way for the summer months, while in the posi- tion shown they can be much more eas lily cared for than when in the house, American Gardening.

goes that Nicholas Vedder. of "Rip Van Wrinkle" fame, was a character of this same Vedder family. He is an uncle of Elihu J. Veddcr, the famous American artist, who spends much time in Rome.
 Dr. Vedder started out very young on his active career. At the age of 20 he worked successfully at five trades, be. ing blacksmith. moulder, brass founl. CT. machinist and locomotive engineer. He was never nn apprentice, as he al. ways received pay for his services. Five days is the longest time he has ever been idle.
 In talking of his boyhood days, Dr. Vedder laughed as he related that he "stole" his trade. Employed in ais fathers shops at Schenectady, he learned smith;ng and moulding. Through friend who worked in a brass foundry he learned the principles of proportion in the making of bell met al. By applying this knowledge to h.. experiments he soon became an expert brass worker. As an employe in tho repair shops of the Utica X Syracuse rnilroad he learned to be a macbipist. and in 1s30 and 40 ran the first snow blow between Utica and Syracuse. In an interview with Dr. Vedder, he said: "I had the honor of handling, as en- gineer, one of the first locomotives built in thiscountry. The first locomo tive built by the Baldwin locomotive works was for the Schenectady & Utica railroad. When that roa'l was completed to Syra-

WOMAN AND HOME.
TALK ABOUT coRsETs.

To Secure Good Results Women Must Know How to Wear Them. The corsetiere who knows her blsi- ness, says LArt de la Mode, can supply the correct shape of corset from tune to time as the figure develops, but the woman for whom the corsets are made must do some of the work herself. Mime. X. herself says that with all the corsets in the world she cannot keep her promise to produce perfect figure unless the woman who wears them will do her part. She must learn to walk we'll, to sit correctly. to "carry" herself properly, to hold her head up, to elevate the bust by raising the chest to where it belongs, and to keep the shoulders where they should be (which is where they fall naturally when the chest is carried up where it belongs).
 Then again, while every corset must be nodded to conform to the figure it encircles. the woman who appreciates a good figure must have several corsets nt one time. For the cloth tailor-made gown there nut be one corset, for the decollete dinner gown another kind, for the negligee robes de chambre an- other style. for the bicycle quite an- other. and so on.
 The correct bicycle corset. for exam pie, is ventilated. and over the hips has merely side steel and some elastic bands. The dinner corset about the bust is shaped to conform to the low neclsed bodice. The corset for the lounging gown is little more than a bust support. The corset for walking gown is built close and high above the bust and long over the abdomen. The corset for the empire gown has no bus: to speak of and is little more than belt. etc.
 The woman who by patience and practice and proper corseting has ac- quired good figure can wear corset longer than the woman who has sham bling carriage. and 'Hops' instead of sitting correctly. The latter soon forces the bones which support the cor set into improper shape. and then if she continues 10 wear it her figure will be nodded badly instead of we'll.
 A well-known New York corsetiere, who sympathizes with the woman who must be economical, says that when q corset is seen to be losing its shapeli ness it can be steamed until the bones are flexible. and then over a flatiron the bones can be restored to their correct shape. This is only possible, however. where the best materials are used, so that the actual shaping of the corset was done in cutting the forms, the bones being used merely to hold the pieces in place.
 If corsets were worn in sight. as bon nets are. what revolution there would be in their appearance.
