An Experiment Which Made Matters
Worse Than They Had Been.
A story, the truth Of which is vouch-
ed for in high quarters, is told concern
ing the manners of the political MEM
bers of small country renowned for its
ancient courage The prime minister
gave reception to meet some distin-
guished Englishmen. The assemblage
consisted solely of the strangers, the
members of the parliament and the
prime minister During the course Of
the evening one Of the more distinguish
ed of the English guests discovered that
his watch had been taken. He went to
his host and informed him Of his loss,
adding that he especially priced the
watch, as it was present to him from
the king of the country whose guest he
had the honor to be at that moment.
The prime minister saw at once that
there was only one thing to be done,
and, asking for silence, explained the
situation to the company. He said that
no doubt some one had yielded to the
temptation of the moment, but that
when they learned that the missing ar
ticle was the gift of their king he was
sure their loyalty, if nothing else, would
prompt them to restore it to its owner.
In order that the culprit's honor might
be preserved and the country saved from
scandal, he said, the lights would be
lowered for five minutes and the guests
would defilo past the writing table,
which would give an opportunity for
the delinquent to place the watch there.
Upon this the room was darkened for
the stipulated time. On the lights being
turned up it was found that the watch
had not been placed on the writing la

Frantz Posing could not understand
why he should not be allowed to leave
the barge office. His card bore tho in
scription, "Not money enough" but he
thought he had something as good as
money besides the cash he had shown.
He was a healthy young German, his
accent fresh from Inter den Linden,
his suit and his boots spick and span,
his manner full Of dignity and method.
"They say have not money enough, !"
he argued, "but l have a brand new
suit in my trunk, for which l paid Ga
marks, and I have not worn 1t more

MONEY AND MUSIC.
Why We Have More Women vocalists
Than Men.

NELL
In preparing q list OF American con-
cert singers it was curious to note that
the number OF tenors just exactly equal
ed the combined number of baritones
and basses 1t is probably true that
there are just about two cultivated ten
ors to each baritone or bass. There are
similarly about twice as many sopranos
as'there are mezzo sopranos or contral-
tos, and there are probably two trained
sopranos to every tenor.
The reasons for these ratios are prob
ably these: A higher voice. being tho
more unusual, attracts to its owner the
more attention. The natural tenor and
soprano are accordingly encouraged to
cultivate what may, after all, be only
mediocre ability. The mezzo soprano
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, unfath-
omed caves Of its owners thorax.
A village church is the epitome Of
the world in this respect The women
"sing Alto or keep quiet, or strain and
squeal at the top notes; the men drone
out bagpipish bass The good voices
are lost i'll the lugubrious average, but
if there is a girl who takes the high
notes flutily or a boy who can interpo-
late the tenor part without danger of
scarlet fever these voices sing out above
the grounding chorus. Every one pricks
ear to listen, and the word is passed
that Sukey Smith or Jakey Jones "has
voice" 1t may be that that voice
ought to be cultivated, it may be that it
ought to be confiscated, but to the teach
er it must go. The steps from this first
discovery to career of public veal or
woe are easy
So much for the disproportion of high
and low professional singing. The fact
that more women than men study song
is doubtless to be accounted for by the
superstition that fourishes in many dis
tricts that selling dry goods or keeping
books is q more manly career than sing
ing. This public creed keeps many a
man from developing the gold mine in
his larynx. Besides, there is, especially
in America, sentiment that man
should not depend ON his father after
he has reached his majority.
1t is O wholesome sentiment ON some
accounts pernicious sentiment on 9TH
ers, but many father will set his son
up in business with sum Of money
which if devoted to paying his artistic
tuition few years on in his twenties
might give him capital Of unlimited
possibilities. -Godey's Magazine.
