THE GOLDEN THROAT.
Bell-liIe Tones Not Always Gift of Ma
ture. but May BE Acquired.

Bell-like Tones Not Always a Gift of Ma
ture. but May BE Acquired
The power of the highest interpreta-
tion of music in song is vouchsafed to
but few favored mortals and is not to be
acquired by any amount of endeavor, if
the true golden throat, with finely
adjusted chorda vocales, be lacking. A
voice Of sweet and mellow quality in
speaking, however, is not always a gra-
cious gift Of nature, but is a possible at
tainment to persons of the most ordinary
musical capacity. A prima donna spends
scarcely more time practicing her scales
than an ambitious actress devotes to the
cultivation Of a ringing, hell-like into
nation to her sentences, for public speak
ers and people of the theatrical profess
sion understand the value of vibrant
tones, of the thrilling, solemn, proud,
pathetic voice, " whose echoes linger
long in the memory Of the inthralled
listener.
Among well bred PEOPLE low voices
are the rule-low, but not always music
al, tendency to falsetto marking any
effort beyond ordinary conversation,
which is simply an evidence Of the lack
Of proper training, or of a failure to
practice those primary principles Of elo-
cution that are a part Of the briefest
common school education.
Lessons under a teacher are not an
absolute necessity to the woman who
would secure the grace Of clear, sweet
accents. Deep breathing and chest ex-
pansion are the first steps toward the
desired end, and systematic course of
throat strengthening, combined with
enough discernment to decide between
a nasal twang and pure tone, is about all
that is needed to achieve a fair degree
of success.
An excellent method Of strengthening
the throat is gargling with cold salt
water in the morning, bathing it at the
same time, first with very hot and then
with very cold water. 1t thus gets a
slight shock and is braced up and per-
manently benefited. New York Jour
nal.

The songs OF the Naraioes.

With the phonograph we may note
down what is exactly the musical sa-
quence in original songs. In ''The Land
of Sunshine" is an article entitled
"Songs of the Navaioes. " and there are
notes Of the music, as recorded on the
Photographic cylinders, accurately scor-
ed. Mr.. John Comfort Fillmore writes:
From the standpoint Of the scientific
student of folk song, all these Navajo
songs which have had the opportunity
to study are extremely interesting. This
interest, too, is Of several different
kinds. The Navajoes, like all other max
ers of folk music, use their songs as a
medium of poetic and emotional express
sion, and it is very interesting to note
the quality of melody they employ for
this purpose. One may note the range
and kind of intervals, the kind of rhythm
and meter and the quality Of tone
which these people find appropriate to
the expression Of certain ideas and feel
ings in song A comparison Of the Ma
vajo songs in these particulars with the
corresponding songs Of other tribes and
races would be a most interesting eth
biological study, especially as the inner
most life Of all our aboriginal tribes is
embodied in their music. So far as
know, all their prayers and expressions
Of religious feeling find outlet in song.
So do all the deeper social emotions,
and the historical records of the tribes,
the traditions Of noble deeds, the memo
ries of good and bad fortunes received
at the hands of the gods. all are record
ed and handed down in the songs Of
the yaricug societies.

The seafaring man pulled his topknot

"How far is that?' the lady asked

CURIOUS RELIGIONS.
Some Sects the Members OF Which
Thought They Couldn't Die.

Thought They Couldn't Die.
Our congress is prohibited by the con
stitution from making laws respecting
religions views and theories. This being
the case. fanatics of all kinds have TAX
en- the opportunity to proponnd their
views and make an effort TO spread their
doctrines. Within the present century
not less than half dozen deluded NOR
tails residing within the limits of the
United States have claimed to be Christ
returned to earth and the queer thing
in connection with the ministry Of such
fanatics is the fact that they can per-
suade persons who are supposed TO have
fair amount of brains to believe that
they are all they claim to be.
Since 1880 five different sects have
been founded in the United States the
members of which claimed the ability
Of either themselves or their founder to
live forever. Each of these queer COM
munities has been known by its neigh
bors as ''the immortals, and each has
in the course of time come to grief, as
all such visionary dreamers must. The
last deluded being TO found sect on
the theory that he himself, at least was
immortal was David Patterson, who was
known to his followers as "the eye Of
Jehovah. +" The Patterson sect were
known as "the children of Zion. " Their
headquarters were mainly at Grand
Rapids. Mich, although there were up
ward of dozen branch organizations in
the different states of the Union. Pat
terson claimed that he would never die,
and the great tenet of faith with the
children of Zion was belief in the claims
which their leader made. In 1883 this
self styled "eye Of Jehovah" began to
grow dim-in other words, to waste
away with an incurable disease. Finally
he went to France, where he died, just
as all other mortals have done or will
do. This cured the delusion Of the Mich.
iganders at Grand Rapids. who soon
awoke to the fact that their leader had
either been a crazy fanatic or bias.
