AMERICANS AS MUSICIANS.

Mme. Calve Says They Have the Charac-
 teristics of the Conquering Race
 Mime. Emma Calve contributes pa- per on the "Conquering Race In Music" to The Ladies Home Journal, in which she specially addresses students of vocal music. She tells of the training re- quired for the operatio and the concert stage, the impersonation of character, the value of suggestions, etc., and pays this tribute to Americans: ''The Amer jeans have, 1t seems to me, in the field of music, and especially in the field of vocal music, all of the characteristics of the conquering race. They are pos sessed naturally of the most exquisite voices, which, when properly cultivated and trained, are almost unrivaled. They have indomitable energy, perseverance and pluck. They stop at nothing and are deterred by no trouble and prevented by no obstacle.
 Poverty, weariness, exertion, hard work-none of these living specters which alright and terrify the average art worker has terrors for them. Their physique and their temperament seem maQ0 1Of GO11 Hnu GO SuF1uounI ulbCOur- agement, and the success which they are daily achieving, in the field of both operatio and concert singing. is testimo- ny to their natural fitness for accom- plishment and to their ability to excel They seem, in fact, to be most lavishly fitted by nature for the parts they are assuming. To these gifts of voice, ener- gy,s pluck and perseverance they fre- quently add a beauty of face and grace of form and movement which the pub ho recognizes as most important factors in the success of the singers career. They have, too, the temperament which makes great artists and great actresses, the artistic feeling which has for it's standard perfection and which is sat- lsfied with nothing less "

Rishop CoxeAs Wtt.

Bishop Coxe's wit was as quick as bis memory, On one occasion, being in slight railway accident, the bishop had lower berth on one side of car, the corresponding berth on the other side being occupied by Presbyterian minister. At the time of the concussion neither was hurt, but both were thrown into the aisle, their heads hitting to- gether.
 "Church unity" said the Presby- terian divine.
 ''Not entirely" said the bishop, rais- ing his hand to his heart "Church unity to be complete must be of the heart as well as of the head !"
 Another time a very lovely elderly lady happened to mention to him that she was second cousin of that dis tinguished but unprincipled man. Aaron Burr. "I wish, '" said the bishop quickly, 'that you had had as good 0 cousin as he had. "-George Alfred StringeT.

Why He Did Not Start.

A lazy man is seldom so very lazy
as not to be able to invent some ex-
cuse for his inactivity. Harper's
Round Table tells story in point.
Patrick was the captain of a
schooner that piled between New
York and Haverstraw on the Hud-
son. One day his schooner was load
ed with bricks, ready to start for
New York, but Patrick gave no sign
of any intention to get under way.
Instead Of that he sat on deck
smoking pipe.
The owner of the brickyard, Who
was also the owner of the schooner,
and who had reasons for wishing
the bricks landed in New York at
the earliest possible moment, came
hurrying on board and demanded Of
the captain why he did not set sail.
"Shure, your honor" said Pat
rick, there's no wind. +"

Strawberries.

BY S. ID. COONlsOD, OF HAALIN.
Mr. first experience with strawber-
ries dates from the setting got from
Horace Greeley in 1852 and were of
three kinds, rs follows: The Wilson,
the Monitor and the Julunda, or
knox's 700. gave them equal care
and the Wilson gave good crops all
the time; the Monitor soon dropped
out and gave but little fruit and the
Julunda did little better but was
not as good grower and had not as
good crops as the Wilson. l have
tried all kinds but think the Wilson
the best for all practical purposes.
The Crescent is good berry and has
to be fertilized to get crop and then
you lose their identity. The Cotton
Jack is good grower but don't do as
well as the Wilson, or has not for me.
The Major Downing is q fairly good
crop grower, but don't do as
well as the Wilson with me. The
Monarch OF the West is good grow
er but are usually barren with me.
The Cotton Shaker is good grower
and a very large berry and has a large
core as all large berries have that
know of, and SO it is with all the best
varities. In some way they all fall
short of the Wilson with me. As to
quality the Julunda is The best III
quality and is fair in size aud light
red in color. But for me the Wilson
is the best for all purposes. AS to

Occasionally one comes across per-
sons who are to all intents and pur-
poses utterly irresponsible. No
matter what their acts, they have a
plausible excuse, and when excuses
are exhausted they dismiss the
whole affair with n little Autter or a
wave Of the hand and declare that
really they don't know anything
about it, or that they have done all
they can, and that's all there is to
it," Personal responsibility and the
habits of accuracy, reliability, truth.
fulness and well bred frankness are

upon novel idea in the way of
clocks. He drew large circle of
about ten yards in diameter on a
lawn and divided it like the dial of

namental leaves in different shades
Of color, while the figures denoting
the hour were formed of white,
light blue and bright yellow flow

the dark groundwork. In the CEN

the amount of air a human being of
the average size and proportions
will consume in the space of one
minute when in repose, and also
when in the different degrees of at-
tivity. When at rest, we consume
500 cubic inches of air per minute;
If we walk at the rate of one mile
an hour, we use 500; two miles,
1000; three miles an hour, 1,6OO;
four miles an hour, 1900. If we
start out and run six miles in an
hour, we will consume 5000 cubic
inches of air during every minute of
that time.-St. Louis Republic.
