why the Latter Are More Numerous
Than the Former.

In looking over a list of American
concert singers 1t is curious to hote
that the number of tenors now at large
just exactly equals the combined num-
her Of the unrestrained baritones and
bassos. 1t is probably true that there
are just about two cultivated tenors
to each baritone Or bass. There are,
similarly, about twice as many So
pranos as there are mezzo-sopranos
or contraltos, and there are probably
two trained sopranos to every tenor.
The reasons for these ratios are prob
ably these: A higher voice, being the
more unusual, attracts to its owner the
more attention. 1t lends itself to mu
sic of far greater range and bril-
liancy The natural tenor and So
prano are accordingly encouraged to
cultivate what may, after all, be only
a mediocre ability. The mezzo-so-
prano or baritone. however is thought
of as only an ordinary mortal. and
voice of the utmost possibilities may
be left to waste its fragrance in the
dark, unfathomed caves of its owners
throat. village church is the cpl
tome of the world in this respect. The
women Sing alto" or keep quiet, or
strain and squall at the top notes; the
men drone out bagpipish bass, The
good voices are lost in the lugubrious
average. But If there is a girl who
takes the high notes flutily or boy
who can interpolate the tenor part
without danger NJ SCARLET fever those
voices sing out above the grounding
chorus; every one pricks ear to listen.
1t may be that that voice ought to be
confiscated, but to the teacher it must
go. The steps from the first discovery
to career of public veal or woe are
easy. The fact that more women than
men study song is doubtless to be ac-
counted for by the superstition that
ilourishes in many districts that SELL
ing dry goods or keeping books is a
more manly career than singing. This
public creed keeps many a man from
developing the gold mine in his
larynx. Besides there is espe oiallE in
America. sentiment that man
should not depend on his father after
he has reached his majority. 1t is a
wholesome sentiment on some ac-
counts, perniclous sentiment on 9TH
ers. 1t has much kinship with the
old belief that as soon as a girl is of
a marriageable age she should stand
ready to hop off her fathers Shout
ders upon the first pair of empty male
shoulders that come within reach.

HORSES DROWN IN A STORM.

Pitiful Fate of Four Animals Attached
to an Unmanageable Life Boat.
During the terrible storm of March
27 and around England a vessel sig
nailed for assistance near the Girdler
light, Margate, and an attempt was
thereupon made to launch the lifeboat
Culver belonging to the National Life
boat institution. AS the trolley was
being turned round, however, in the
surf to allow tho Culver to glide off,
one wheel came in contact with a rock
and could not be moved, neither could
the boat be launched. Eventually a
rope was made fast to the Culver and
she was hauled off and made fast to
the jetty but not until she had been
seriously damaged by being hustled
against the stone pier. Gallant efforts
were made to save the horses attached
to the trolley but, owing to the heavy
sea, the drivers were only able to I'M
fasten the shaft-animals. Just then a
tremendous sea struck the horses, car
rying them against the pier, where
they were repeatedly dashed. Three of
the animals were drowned, and the
fourth, with the dead horses attached
to it, by the harness. struggled for two
hours, but no assistance could be rem
dered and it too persisted. The sea
flowed over the parade, bringing large
balks of timber from the ietty and slip
way into the middle of the road.

DEWEY AT FORT FISHER.
How He Led Force of Marines In tho
Gallant Charge.
OCTOBER 10, 1907

no" ne Lea Force OF Marines In tho
Gallant Charge.
Few if any officers in the naval serv-
ice are held in greater esteem, alike by
personnel and enlisted men, than Com.
modore George Dewey. Embracing at
once the combined qualities of kindly
consideration for his subordinates and
prompt intrepidity in the hour OF emer-
gency, he is most admirably fitted for
his position as a leader of men.
During the seven years of my connec-
ton with the navy I naturally heard
many of the foremost commanding off :.
GERS more or less discussed and 1 can
recall only sentiments Of the warmest
commentator for Commodore Dewey.
He is to the navy what General o. o.
Howard was to the army-a firm yet
thoughtful disciplinarian = and men
have the profoundest respect and adj
miration for commander of this type
Commodore Dewey has a creditable
war record, having been with Farra-
quits fleet when it ran the gantlet of
Confederate batteries and torpedoes on
the Mississippi from New Orleans to
Memphis. Later on he was attached to
the north Atlantic blockading squad
ron, where he did efficient duty as q
signal officer. But most noteworthy of
his achievements was at the storming
OF Fort Fisher, he having participated
in both attacks upon this stronghold.
In the latter assault Commodore Dewey,
then Lieutenant, succeeded in etfecting
landing with large force of sailors
and marines, and in the gallant charge
which followed one of his brother Off
GERS and so men were lost. But, un-
needing the destructive fire which raked
their advancing columns, they swept
lrresistibly on and carried the enemy's
outer works. 1t was fitting that the
close OF struggle SO replete with gal
liant deeds should be marked by so brave
an exploit, and not less so that the
great naval victor of the present war
should be one of the valiant heroes who
shared in its honors. Jose de Olivares
