four ounces of beeswax; put the water
in a kettle on a fire, and when nearly
boiling add the lime and soda; when
these are dissolved; add the borax;
boil gently, and stir until all is dis
solved; then add the fat,resin and bees
wax; boil all gently until it shows
tiakey on the stick; then pour into the

Use only toilet paper or tissue paper
in closets-You will see by the above
that it is only intended to use for clos
cts the regular toilet (tissue) paper,
and it is not only against the law, but
against your own interest, to use news
paper or other stiff paper, as by it's
use you will certainly, sooner or later,
stop up your sewer pipe, thereby caus-
ing a plumbers bill largely in excess of
cost of regular toilet paper.
Pull the water tank chain gently
Don't forget to pull the chain attached
TO water tank after using the closet.
Report any disabreeable odors-
Should you notice any disagreeable
odors about your closets, basins or
other fixtures. which you think are
caused by defective fixtures or plumb
ing, notify the plumbing inspector or
your plumber at once, by mail or by
personal notice, and it will be prompt
ly investigated.
HOW TO GET GOOD PLUMBING
Lead pipe costs more than iron, but
it lasts longer.
1t should be a criminal offense for a
man to masquerade as a plumber.
Apparatus tested and guaranteed by
responsible factory cannot be sold
at competitive prices.
The physicians business is to treat
disease, the result too frequently OF
some alleged plumbers work.
The cheapest thing will prove the
most expensive in the long run.
| Defective plumbing means typhoid
fever, dlptheria, pneumonia, scarlet
fever and plumbing repairs.
Demand scientific plumbing under
law. Select plumbing fixtures intelli-
gently in plumbing show rooms.
/ Require a certificate of competency
from the plumber and dispense with
the services of the physicvian.
Sanitary plumbing means health
progress and development. Defective
plumbing means disease, doctors bile
funerals. and the expense of unneces-
sary plumbing repairs.

New Styles In Visiting Cards.

The latest visiting card has not
changed in size, but it is neither the
very thick board of long ago nor the re-
cent very thin material. 1t is of moder-
ate thickness and pure white. In call
ing attention to new styles in cards the
New York Sun says:
Block type is growing in popularity
every day and promises to Gust the
script, which has held its own so long.
Script of a rather larger and heavier
style is still good form. Addresses are
put either in the lower left or the lower
right hand corner, and holder and larger
lettering is also used for this purpose.
When the fashionable woman goes
abroad, it is necessary, as well as con-
venient, that she should carry travel
ing card. 1t is Of ample size and quite
thin. Across the top of the card is
given in black type her full name. Just
beneath this her city address in Ameri'
ca is given, while in the right hand
corner is the name of her banker in
London or Paris, and in the left hand
corner her cable address. This is LOT
of information to put on visiting card,
but those who have already travelled in
foreign countries readily see the advan-
tage Of the plan. Cards designed for
country use have the name and address
of ones country place in the left hand
corner, otherwise they are exactly like
those for city use.

SONG AND MUSIC.
Pronunciation In Singing Lessons For
Training the Ear.


Training the Ear.
America has long been credited with
being the land of careless enunciation
in vocal music. OF the chief languages
of the world Italian is, of course, the
best for vocal use, since it has chiefly
open vowels and crisp, clear consonants.
French comes near TO it, but has de-
gree of nasality. German falls short of
French because of the gutturals with
which it is garnished, and English
comes long distance after German in
song, chiefly because of many close
vowels las in bird" or "world"), of
bad combinations of consonants Gas in
battle" or gentle and terrible nasal
effects Gas in "singing") in participles
and participial nouns. Along with this
explanation teacher writing in The
Etude says:
Yet English can be clearly pro-
nounced and made vocally effective if
the vocal teacher will but grasp the
nettle firmly. In England the chief
vocal teachers devote a great deal of
time to exercises in enunciation. They
force every advanced pupil to be an
elocutionist in some degree. There is q
great difference, therefore, between the
performance of ballad in London and
the same number in an American city.
In the former every word can be fol-
lowed by every auditor, in the latter
the American auditor can at times not
even identify the language in which
the song is given.
Another writer in the same journal
devotes space to the subject of ear train
ing He says:
For a number of years have devoted
ten minutes in each lesson to ear train
ing and have found the benefit result
ing therefrom so great that l consider
it now an indispensable part of every
lesson hour. At the first lesson the
pupil, who is placed so that she cannot
see the keyboard, is required to distin-
guish major and minor seconds by ear.
If she does not do this readily, the prac.
tice is continued at each lesson till she
can quickly determine whether the in
terval be major or minor. When the
ear can determine seconds, they are fol.
lowed by thirds, fourths, fifths and all
other intervals up to the tenth. When
all these intervals can be named as soon
as heard, major, minor, diminished and
augmented triads are explained, and the
pupil is required to distinguish them
by ear. After these come chords of the
seventh, diminished seventh and ninth,
major and minor scales, and the legato,
demi staccato, staccato, non legato and
elastic touches.
The principles of good pedaling are
then taken up, and the pupil is required
to detect the slightest blur caused by
slovenly use of the damper pedal, and
also to analyze the pedaling in passages
played for her. Further work in ear
training will readily suggest itself to
the thoughtful teacher
