"For the average singer, America
offers most excellent teachers; she can
find all she needs at home" writes
Madame Melba in an article on 1.-The
Vocal Student in the November Ladies
Home Journal. For operate singers
some foreign training is practically
necessary so long as impresarios con-
slider Europe their market, and retired
artists make it their home. But no
girl, she adds, "unless she has money
to throw away mean by this large
fortune to spend-should go abroad for
vocal instruction until she has been
passed upon, musically, by at least two
or three artists-people who value the
glory and fair name Of their art, and
the life, and perhaps the honor of the
would-be singer too highly, to advise
her to enter upon career of privation
and hardship, where there is for her, by
natures fixed decree, no possibility of
success. If possible, these artists should
be strangers to the singers-people who
will not be moved nor swayed by any
personal interest, and will, therefore,
speak only truth But only those others
who can afford to indulge hobby,
should ever go abroad for instruction" E"

There is "new girl" as well as a
"new woman" She has not been much
talked about and she would not like to
be; but she exists-strong of muscle and
keen of intellect modest and dignifed
fearless yet tender; selfreliant yet never
aggressive;a a girl more often beautiful
than otherwise, for beauty is the divine
right of every woman properly bred and
nourished. She is well groomed and
dressed, unconsciously expressing her
harmony of thought in harmony of APP
pearance. She is loving, lovable girl.
with a splendid capacity for romance;
but none for "sentimentalism. She is
the newest growth of new country-an
exponent of the freshest and strongest
civilization in existence.-From Mary
Annable Fanton, in Demorest's Maya.

There are some of our best native
trees which seem to be Systematically
ignored in park and lawn planting
One is the beech, than which there is
no better or more beautiful lawn tree.
The branches are long and graceful, the
leaves have peculiarly bright color,
the buds are long, pointed and polished
and the bark of the trunk and larger
limbs lights up the shade of the thick
foliage in dark days and shines in the
winter with pinkish light under clear
skies. 1t requires a good deal Of room
to develop its greatest beauty, but
thrives on most soils, and is not subject
to attacks of insects. We plant its for
eign relative, the copper beech, solely
| for the color of its leaves, and our ma
| tive, handsomer tree is utterly neglected.
For a small lawn tree there is no better
than the near relative of our common
beech. IL is generally called blue
beech, or iron wood, and makes q
nice shaped tree 10 or Is feet high. II
| is far prettier than the mountain ash OF
horse chestnut, both foreign trees and
| very liable to attacks of insects. As fan
as ordinary observation goes no Leaf
| cutting insect troubles the blue beech
1 The leaves are smaller and darker il
color than those of the common beech,
but in shape and veining arc similar. =

when an NJ. II. Seeks n Recollection.

A member of the house of commons
must resign his seat and seek reelection
on accepting office. The only post exempt
from the rule is the secretaryship TO the
treasury. This custom was established by
an act of the reign Of Queen Anne. The
object of compelling a representative to
submit his acceptance of Office to the judg-
ment of his constituents was TO restrain
the corrupt influence of tho crown over
parliament by its power of comforting
places Of profit on servile and obsequious
members The danger the statute was de-
signed to avert is now happily past and
gone. The sovereign is still, theoretically,
"the source Of justice and of mercy; of all
Offices. honors, emoluments and chartered
rights" and rs such is supposed TO confer
their offices on the members of the admin
istration, but in reality the appointments
are solely made by the prime minister. 1t
is under him and not under the crown that
ministers hold Office.
The act of Anne, however, continues in
operation, despite the fact that the COM
plete revolution which has since occurred
in our political life has made it entirely re-
mote from the realities of the present time.
Several unsuccessful attempts have been
made to repeal the statute. The only
modification of the original act is that pro-
vided In the reform act of 1868, by which
n minister who may be- removed from one
office t. another in the same administra-
ton need not seek reelection. -Chambers'

individuality and style.

right individuality is sometimes called
style, and man is seldom more sue
cessful in changing his nature than the
leopard in changing his spots. Tintoret-
TO was furious. Rembrandt was emo
tional. Rubens was splendid, and their
styles were but the expressions of their
Municipalities. In the same sense Mi
chael Angelo had style. though q
Winckelmann would have pronounced
him a barbarian; Teniers had style,
though Louis XIV called him mag
got and would not tolerate his pic
lures Dclacroix had style, though the
classicists said his pictures looked as
though painted with a drunken broom.
Each one Of them expressed himself IN
his own peculiar way and possessed
style as Fenelon described it.
Why, then, were they denounced:
Why were Hugo. Alfred de Mussett,
Millet and Manet secuted as rebels:
Why do we today talk about the poems
of Walt Whitman and the landscapes OF
Claude Monet as lacking in style since
none of us denies that they show strong
Municipalities? Is il not because they
fail in giving that other style which
Sir Joshua called the grand style. y

The Process Of Its Manufacture-An I'm
portant Industry.
Every morning, two hours before dawn
In winter and one hour when the days
lengthen In spring, it is the duty Of the
cheesemaker 10 call the shepherds by beat
ing a drum. The men who live In the
open emerge from their straw boxes at the
SC and and begin to drive their herds to-
ward the milking shed There each flock
enters its own pen, these smaller pens
communicating with a larger one, into
which the fiocks are admitted in turn.
From this central Enclosure there are 10 or
90 narrow openings. which lead into as
many short passages. Near the end of
each man is seated on his stool with
milking pail ready, and as eve after eve
crowds down the narrow corridor the
mixer throws two pronged wooden fork
over it's neck, thus holding 1t until IL Is
MIXED, and so on until the 1000 or 5000
ewes have given their tribute Of milk.
In some diaries it is the custom to make
the ewes pass twice through the milking
she'd and it is said that this system has
been known TO give an increase of produc-
ton of over 1000 pounds Of cheese. The
fiocks are then driven to the grazing
ground allotted tn each by the head man
until the sun sets and the evening milk
ing time comes round again. The milk
Is meanwhile carried by the mixers to the
"gergheria," where 1t is poured through
coarse linen sleeves into the caldron. The
milk is first slightly warmed, then lifted
| from the fire till the rennet Is added.
| After that 1t is boiled until the curd forms
| a solid block, which sinks to the bottom
of the caldron, leaving only the milky
whey.
| The cheesemaker's duty Is now to di
| vide this curd among the men, who ma
nipulate and press it with their robust armi
until it is dry, when it Is formed int
round, fiat cheese, on which the name q
the man who made it Is stamped. Thu
remaining whey is boiled a second time
and now il Is the duty of less dignifle'
subordinate to divide large spoonfuls o
the coagulated mass, now called 'ricottn,
to the men, not forgetting the absent shep
herds. If any remains, 1t is put int
small bowl shaped baskets of woven withe
and sold And in this routine, repeated
each morning and evening, the days pas
