The Benefits of Vocal Culture.

For the improvement of the whole
body there is nothing like vocal cul-
ture, whether it be the singing or
the speaking voice. The major part
of vocal instruction consists in teach
ing the pupil how to breathe. This
act, though the very first one in life
to be employed, is acquired the least
perfectly. The use of the diaphragm,
the expansion of the ribs, the control
of the breath as it passes over the Vi
brating vocal chords, require knowl-
edge of the mechanism to do it prop
erly, and it is the rarest thing to find
a person who rightly understands it.
/ have known great singers who I'M
derstood to perfection the use of the
singing voice cause great strain to
their vocal chords by the improper
use of the muscles which control
breathing, as we'll as those that con-
troll the larnyx, in using their speak
ing voice. AS means of promoting
health and maintaining it, repeat,
the lung gymnastics are among the
most potent, and if mothers who put
their children at an early age at the
tute for it the training Of the voice for
singing. if the child has talent, for the
right use of it in speaking and read
ing, if not for the singing, it would
be of the greatest advantage physic-
ally. In piano practice the child is
kept in cramped position. The mus
cles OF the fingers and the hands are
increased in strength and suppleness,
but that does not improve the general
physical condition, and often the lungs
themselves are injured by the con-
tinued constrained position.
The voices of the children are re-
strained; the tried nerves of the ears
of the family cannot endure the
shrieks and cries and the loud halloos
and the uncomfortable laughter of
the child. But nature is exercising
the lungs, and the whole is one of
those instructive procedures for bodily
development. If the requirements of
civilization are such as to preclude
these natural gymnastics, provision
should be made for replacing OF sup-
plementing them. Take the children
out into the open-on the top OF
high hill or by the sounding sea-
and let them sustain tones, each see-
ing who can do the longest, making
the clearest, sweetest tone, with the
least expenditure of breath, expanding
the chest so that all the little air vesi
cles of the lungs will be supplied with
fresh air Thus will the blood be
more perfectly purified, and the whole
system will be benefited and invigor-
ated---the lungs having had an air
bath, as the body is laved in fresh
water. Grace Peckham Murray, M

Buckles for the Neck.

The latest piece of jewelry for the
neck is the ribbon stock buckle. This
is an inexpensive fad, unless studded
with jewels. Stocks and buckles are
made up in sets, the buckle being
miniature of the belt buckle with which
it is designed to be worn. This belt
buckle must be worn with sash rib
bon, as is the stock buckle. These
tiny affairs are very handy with the
wide stock ribbons now so popular,
and obviate the necessity of tying the
ribbons in any sort of a bow. The
neck ribbon is worn twice about the
neck, crossing in the back and meet
ing in front, directly under the chin.
Tie sash about the waist must be in
Que length only, worn wide in the
back and gathered closely into the
small buckle in front. These sets are
made up in silver, in steel finish or
Roman gilt, plain or elaborate, and of
heavy designs, or delicate and jew
slled.

Suggestions fer Home millinery,

For the dainty woman who wishes
to keep her hats up to the standard
without great outlay of money or
constant recourse to Madam Milliner,
the practical hints given her classes
by first-class teacher of millinery
are worthy of consideration. The best
velveteen, says this woman who
knows, is better than silk velvet for
making or trimming hats, so far as
durability is concerned. A few drops
of water on silk velvet make little in
dentations hard to remove, but little
steaming will render a frst-cass quail
ity of velveteen as good as new. For
felt hats beginning to grow rusty
liquid shoe polish may be used to
good advantage. A hat brush is q
necessity for the woman who values
a neat appearance, and to keep the
dust from grinding in hat should be
brushed every time it has been worn.

LlNcoLN's SECOND INAUGURATION.
His Personal Escort Carried Pistols and
Clubs-Ex-Governor Osborn's story.

His Personal Escort Carried Pistols ana
Clubs-Ex-Governor Osborn's story.
Ex-Governor Thomas A. Osborn, OF
Kansas, was present at the second in.
auguration of Abraham Lincoln as one
of the escort to the President. He
was associated with General Ward III.
Lamon, along with fourteen other
United States marshals from different
parts of the Northern States.
''People who are able to refresh
their memory" Governor Osborn said
in a recent interview, "will remember
with what anxiety the Inauguration
was approached. 1t was believed that
an assault of some character would he
attempted upon the President. The
Government detectives had been able
to gain a vague sort of information
about conspiracy against the Pres
ident's life, but there was nothing
tangible enough to enable them to
make arrests. That their suspicious
were well grounded was we'll deter
mined just forty days later when the
President was shot down by Booth
and the conspiracy came to light.
President Lincoln was rather dis
posed to pooh-p pooh the idea of danger.
He refused to have himself surround
ed with soldiers at the inaugural ex-
ercises, but finally consented that
Ward Ii. Lamon, who was then mar
shall of the District of Columbia, should
take such steps as he deemed neces-
sary, stipulating, however, that there
should be no ostentatious display of
arms or force. General Lamon at

Lady Salisbury's Romance.

Writing of the Marchioness of Sails
bury, the author says: Though she has
not entered the public arena in the
way of speaking, writing, or as a
leader of a movement, and cannot be
said even to have formed political
salon, yet Lady Salisbury undoubted-
ly has been force behind the leader
Of the Conservative party. She was
the daughter of Baron Anderson, a
charming and highly cultured man,
distinguished for his wit, little of
which survives in his daughter. We
need not here trace the romantic
courtship of Miss Anderson by Lord
Robert Cecil. Their marriage took
place against the wish of Lord Rob-
erts father, and so the young people
were left to their own resources. Lady
Salisbury has aided her husband in
his career, step by step, from a COM
paratively obscure place to his pres
ent exalted position. In the early
days, when Lord Robert was main
tanning his family as hardworking
journalist, his wife acted as his amanu-
ensis, post which she had been fitted
to fill by the literary training received
from her father.
The first eight years of Lady Sails.
bury's married life was spent in this
way; then her husband, on the death
of his eldest brother, became Lord
Cranborne and entered upon more
responsible social and parliamentary
career.
In private life Lady Salisbury is
perhaps at her best. Among her in
innate friends she is greatly beloved
for her kindly sympathy and the
steadfastness of her regard. With them
the hauteur which sits we'll upon her as
political hostess at Arlington street
vanishes. When she was stronger

Embroidery and Photographs.

The newest thing in art needlework
is com bination of photographs and
embroidery. Pictures of pretty coun-
try scenes are printed upon linen
doilies or tablecovers and then sur
rounded by wreaths of dainty bios
SONS or autumn leaves, worked in
colors. A tour of mountain OF sea-
side resorts, a-foot or a-wheel, can be
thus preserved as unique souvenir
of pleasant outing. The linen on
which the photographs are to be print
ed should first be washed to remove
any dressing of the goods that may in
terfere with making the picture per-
fecVy clear or cause the negative to
stab. The fabric should then be
''salted" with solution of a teaspoon
of arrowroot and salt enough to make
the quart of water used taste slightly.
The style of fancy work combines re-
suits of both outdoor and home work
and amusement.

eager attention. When his son Robert
was bitten by dog, he took him to
Terre Haute, at much Inconvenience,
to have the virtues of maidstone, as
it was called, tested as an antidote.

would rather die than to be SO super

Doing His Duty.

"There's one of the best men in our
employ" stated railroad Official as
he pointed out man who looked like
a hard working farmer, relates the
Detroit Free Press. ''He has been
promoted from time to time and we
have the utmost confidence in him.
He came to us when he was as verdant
as his rural surroundings. We built
a little way station on our line, up in
the northern part of the state, and put
him in charge, because some OF the
most substantial citizens told us he
was a good man for the place. l hap

instructions, telling him, among other
things, that it was flag station, that
the train would only stop when there
were persons to get of OF on and that
he must display the red flag when he
wanted the engineer to pull up there.
"The first day he was on the through
passenger train was behind time and
going for all it was worth. But there
was the flag and there was nothing to
do but to stop, the heavy train reach
ing the platform with all breaks set
and wheels sliding.
"'All aboard' yelled the conductor
as he sprung off to hurry the expected
passengers. But our new agent was
the only person in sight.
"'Where are those people that want
to get on?' roared the conductor.
"sThey amt none.
"sWhat in thunder did you stop
this train for, thcn?'
"I guessed maybe somebody would
like fur to git off.
"We looked into it, but he only
meant to do his duty and has been
doing it ever since. "

Watterson on Lincoln.

In recent utterance upon war is
sues the noted Southern editor.
Henry Watterson, said: Lincoln
himself was Southern man. He
had no prejudice against the South or
the Southern people. There was
hardly day during the war that he
was not projecting his great person
ality between some Southern man or
woman and danger, and so free from
vindictiveness or excitement of any
sort was his mind that it cost him
nothing to stand upon the resolution
of Congress of 1861, which declared
that the war was waged solely to
preserve the Union"

opinion, were brave. loyal, athletic
and shrewd. I was one of the fifteen,

to the general renown of Kansas men
as fighters rather than to any personal
prowess ] was known to possess.
IT shall never forget the consulta-
tion held between these fifteen mar
shals at the home of General Lamon
on the night preceding Inauguration
Day. 1t was explained to us by Gen
eral Lamon that an assault on the
President was feared. He believed
that an attempt would be made to alb
duct him. Some feared assassination.
I remember that several of the mar
shals suggested the possibility of an
attempt upon the Presidents life with
an air gun. We were duly impressed
with the gravity of the situation and
prepared plan of action which was
fully carried out on the following
day.
"When the hour approached for
the President to proceed to the Capt.
tol to take the oath of Office, we rode
in body on horseback from Willard's
Hotel to the White House and sur
rounded the Presidents carriage. I
remember that the President appeared
to be considerably annoyed by our
solicitude, for we kept in close order
about the carriage all the way to the
Capitol. All of us carried pistols be-
meath our coats, while in our hands
we held batons similar to those carried
by policemen. Arriving at the Capt.
tol, we remained ON the steps of the
east front while the President entered
the Senate chamber and took the oath
of Office. When he rsappeared on the
steps to deliver his inaugural address
we closed in around him and remained
SO until the end, after which we es-
i corted his carriage back to the White
House in the same manner that we
had escorted it to the Capitol.
"That 4th day of March, 1865, was
the worst day have ever seen in
Washington. It was dark and gloomy,
and the air was filed with snow and
rain. The bedraggled plumes and ac-
coutrements to be seen in the military
procession which followed the Presi-
dents carriage were a sorry sight in
deed. The President sat bolt upright
in his carriage, with his splendid face
barred to the storm, though now and
again he smiled and bent his head in
response to burst of cheers from
the spectators along Pennsylvania
! avenue.
