The First Step l. Keeping the Mouth
shut, Asleep or Awake

Shut, Asleep or Awake.
Proper breathing is so essential in
voice production that it must receive
first attention, and the first requirement
is to keep the mouth shut, writes
Katharine E. Junkermann in The Wo-
mans Home Companion.
''Of course no tone can be either
strong or pure if the lungs are cramped
so that the air cannot find room. In or
der to increase the size of the lung ca
pacity raise the chest and keep the body
well and strongly poised.
so much harm has been done TO
voices by allowing the mouth to become
the regular air passage that the need Of
care cannot be too frequently empha-
sized. Besides the injury done by the
unwarmed air entering the lungs the
mucous membrane is hardened by the
saliva being dried up. and the muscles
of the tongue and throat grow stiff and
less responsive. It is comparatively easy
to control ones breathing when awake,
but when asleep the harm goes on. To
remedy this involves a slight discom-
fort, but one can endure it patiently
looking to the end. Cut court plaster in
to little strips about one-fourth Of an
inch in width and paste several across
the lips, placing them up and down.
with the lips held naturally If one is
tempted to give up rather than endure
the discomfort this method involves, a
walk through an ordinary day coach or
a night made hideous by the presence
of a snorer in a near berth will cause a
solemn vow to be taken never to do
likewise. :"

gratifying success. The results were
quite surprising, and in a few years the
Indian women succeeded in performing
work which was not surpassed by any
done in the most complete lace manu-
featuring establishment in the country
The Indian women, as is the case
with their more highly favored white
sisters, vary in their artistic taste and
their capacity for grasping the intrica-
cies Of the finest kinds Of laces AS
rule, however, they were all teachable,
while number acquired the art with
surprising ease Producing the work
under the circumstances in which it
was done, one of the chief difficulties
was to keep the delicate material inn
maculate But even this was overcome.
Another obstacle to superior excel
lence in the lace work done was the
feeling of carelessness which supervened
after the art had been acquired and the
novelty had worn off. This also was
obviated and finally feeling of pride
and emulation succeeded indifference
and stimulated the workers to achieve
superior results,
All sorts of pretty laces are now man
ufactured by the deft fingers of the
Chippewa women. These comprise the
various shades of workmanship from
the tiny edging fit for the daintiest in
FAINT wear and costing so cents yard
to the most elaborate designs which sell
for $6 and $40 per yard and are worn
by the most fashionably dressed ladies
in the United States Boleros, fichus,
collars, cuffs, vest fronts, tablespreads,
jackets. as well as edging of all widths,
are made in fine princess lace by these
Indian women. while in royal batten-
berg curtains and teacloths, buffet and
bureau scarfs and many other articles
are manufactured and find ready sale
where introduced
Many of these Indian lacemakers
have never left their native wilds, and
one of the cleverest and most indus
trious of them lives on Bear island, now
famous as the place where General Ba
con- s troops were massacred. In that
lonely spot she manufactures many an
exquisite piece of lace which decorates
the person or apartments Of some fine
lady who would never conceive of its
being produced under such cireum-
stances.
On the completion of their work the
Indian women journey over miles of
frozen land and water to the lacemakers'
headquarters, where they are paid ac-
cording to the quality Of the work done.
With the money they proceed to the
nearest town, where it is expended ju-
diciously for -four pork. sugar, tea and
tobacco, the last article being used by
Indian women as well as men,
These Indian lacemakers have among
their patrons such wealthy ladies as
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. Mrs. Astor,
Mrs. Huntington and Mrs. J. Pierpont
Morgan, the latter having an unfinished
order for bedspreads which will cost
her 5000 each

New York, July 25.-The Financier
says:
The reduction of $l2,OOO,OOO in the de-
posts of the New York banks last week
lightened reserve requirements about 49,
100000 The institutions, however, ac-
cording to their current statement lost
81 ,l64, 100 cash, and for this reason the
increase in surplus reserve was only ST.
356,S50, which brings present holdings
$l2055, 600 above legal requirements.
The decrease in loans has contracted out
standing loan obligations no less than
$26000000. In the same time deposits
have been decreased nearly $27 500 900,
while the cash in banks has remained
stationary. 1t will be seen that reserves
have been at the expense of outstanding
commitments, and the process does not
appear to have reached an end as yet.
There is no question, however, that the
banks are not gaining cash, even if the
statement does indicate otherwise.
The known operations of money last
week were decidedly in favor of the in
situations, the loss of three quarters of u
million to the treasury having been offset
by the gain of $2,000000 from the interior
The current exhibit does not reflect this,
but it is to be said that the losses shown
can be traced to two or three large banks,
the remaining members having really
strengthened their positions. AS to the
outlook the opinion is that there is moth
ing in the situation at present to warrant
an undue expansion in bank figures. The
liquidation which began with July has
run its course to large extent, and while
the present is mid-season period the
movement of money will probably con-
tinue this way for some little time.
Foreign exchange authorities agree that
gold exports, except as special transac-
tons, are at an end, and while the crop
season is near at hand it is not anticipat-
ed that the demands this year will cause
much of a drain from New York. In
terror bank reserves are above the aver
age, and this, coupled with easier rates
for money abroad and the certainty that
exchange will rule in favor of New York
with the coming grain exports, seems to
favor a relaxation rather than rise in
rates here for the time being.

Chicago, July pa special from
Washington says:
Senator Fairbanks of the joint high
commission had a conference with Presi-
dent Mckinley and Secretary Hay at the
White house on the Alaskan boundary dis
pute. The senator reports that from per-
sonal observation he is firmly convinced
that the contentious made by this govern
ment are correct and if the modus vivendi
is agreed upon, it must be upon the terms
of the United States.
Senator Fairbanks has been all over the
country in the vicinity OF Klukwan, Dyea,
Skagway and the territory in dispute, and
finds incontrovertible evidence that the
contentious of this government are cor
rect
1t was said that this government will
not yield a foot of territory and that UNI
less the British government agrees upon
modus vivendi on the terms which this
government offered there will be no meet
ing of the joint high commission on Au-
gust ,.
While Senator Fairbanks declined to dis
cuss the subject of the position occupied
by the Canadian police, because he may
be again called upon to deal with the
Alaskan question, it was learned that
members of this force are now in the Por
cupine region, which PROFESSIONALLY be-
longs to this government.
The orders which were given some time
ago for sending troops to Pyramid harbor
have not been rescinded, but are still held
in allegiance at the request of the British
government.
In view of the latest information fur
nished the state department on this point.
it would be surprising if the British gov
eminent is not notified that American
troops would be sent to Pyramid harbor
whether Great Britain objects or not. The
government is determined to protect the
interests of American citizens, no matter
what the position OF the British govern
ment may be.
