Scotch nurses are in great demand
among the titled and the rich in the Did
world, says the Ccnltesse Du PLAINLY De
Sourdy. Indeed, there is scarcely a Prince
or Princess of the blood in Europe who
has not spent the years OF childhood be-
meath the care OF 4 Dame hailirlg from the
Forth OF the Tweed. This is due TO the.
fact that the sweetest voices in the world
are those of Scotellwomen. 1t is simply
irresistible. for the sounds of the vowels
are absolutely unnampered. This sound
may be high or low, but there is no dis
cordanee anywhere, and the harmony of
the well-pitched organ is soothing in the
extreme-so much so. of a truth, that it
seems created on purpose for lulling a
baby to sleep with its melodious.y soft
cadence.
A remarkable gift is a really fine-toned
voice; it has been responsible for half the
success of the great Sarah Bernhard, and
is also one of the most remarkable char
acteristics of the celebrated divette
Yvepte Guilbert. France and Scotland pro-

o-verhanging the tumultuous wagss of the
Atlantic, one often hears proceeding from
the rosy mouth of some savage little cow
herdess such bell-like harmony that one

The voice should he educated like any
other of our faculties. and that not alone
with a view to singing. but also for the
purpose of developing its beauties in or
binary conversation. 1t is an instrument,
and one of the most exquisite and deli
cate of instruments. So why should we
not take as much trouble in that direc-
ton as we do to teach our children piano,
harp, guitar or violin? To this many peo-
pie Will object that some OF the very
sweetest OF voices are occasionally heard
in the mountains OF rsrol. in the plains
