Some Common Words Are Used Too Fro.
quently.
A Harvard professor, after telling his
class in composition never to use got
ten," added that most persons should
use get and "got" about one-tenth
as much as they do. Is he not right?
Get means to acquire, to gain, or
to procure. 1t is used correctly in such
sentences as "Get understanding"
please get my books" Il have got 1t
for you from the shelf" 'He is getting
what you want and also IN the
idioms-to get mt, to get away, to get
down, to get home. to get near, to get
Off or on. to get TO n place, to get the
start and to get up.
If we restricted ourselves to these
uses of get we could not be criticised,
but we are likely not TO do so, espe-
cially when we use got" with some
form of have" Two mistakcs-"have
got" instead of "havc" and have got
instead of "must''-are the most com.
mon.
Get" does not mean to possess. or
course, we generally possess what we
gain or procure, but we do not neces-
sarily do so, and get" expresses the
act of acquiring, not the act of possess
ing, which may follow. 'lave' Is the
verb that should denote possession, but
how many times every day do we hear
Il have got" used to express posses
sion? Some one gives us II new book.
There is no effort of acquiring on our
part, but we say, Il have got new
book" when Il have new book
would be more correct rs well as sim
pier and more elegant. This applies of
course to the other persons and num-
bers. Nine times out of ten, when we
hear "IIe has got" "They have got"
"IIave you got!" the correct expression
would be "IIe has," "T'hey have"
"Iaye you!"

Ex-Congressman A. Il. GOODWIN, from
Alabama, writes the following letter:
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, o.:
Gentlemen-"Ih have now used two bot
ties of Peruna, and am n well man to-
day. Icould feel the good effects of your
medicine before l had used it week,
after suffering with catarrh for over a
year." Respectfully, A. Il. Goodwin.
Catarrh in its various forms is srapidly
becoming n national curse. An un-
doubted remedy has been discovered by
DIR. Hartman. This remedy has been
thoroughly tested during the past forty
years. Prominent men have come to
know of it's virtues and are making pub
lie utterances on the subject. To save
the country we must save the people.
To save the people we must protect
them from disease. The disease that is
at once the most prevalent and stubborn
of cure is catarrh. Public men of all
parties recognize in Pcruna n national
catarrh remedy of unequaled merit.

for free book on catarrh.

SIMS REEVES ON BREATHING.

Octogenarian Tenor Tells How 1t | Should be Done and What to Avoid. | Breathing is an exercise in itself Singers should not purposely study the l arGtomical conditions of the throat and lungs; it is with the emotional, not the
 anatomical side of his art that the sing CT has to do. For the practical pur-
 rose of singing, knowledge of the
 muscles of the throat is as useless as a knowledge of the muscles of the arm is for the playing of cricket. Cases are
 not infrequent where these anatomical studies nave tendency to set up sort of nervous dread in the finger that the
 breatl1iDgtis Is not being done the correct way. Incorrect breathing is an~ ac- quired habit, induced some times by an elaborate means taken to avoid it. A
 few simple hints are all that are neces- sary: the rest of what is called the art of breathing Is very much a matter of instinct.
 Avoid breathing through the mouth; whenever possible inhale through the nostrils. This allows the nose to purify and warm the air before reaching the throat, which needs to be warm in order for the production of good tone. It is frequently remarked that such and such an artists voice improved later in the evening"" which means that the singers throat became warmed as the concert or opera proceeded, and not that the voice improved, though the tone may have done 90. Prea thing constantly through the mouth inclines to dry the throat and make the voice husky But it Is impossible to sing declamatory mu- sic without breathing through the mouth-it is even necessary, for effect, that the breathing should at times be audible; and in long Handelian pas- sages, and florid music of that descrip- tion, what are called half-breaths through the mouth are allowed; other wise the singer could not inhale breath and keep in strict time.
 Never heave up the shoulders in the pct of taking breath; there should be no nerceptible movement of the body at all
 Never take in breath of a sudden when only practising; although the singing of certain passages obliges the l
The daily morning journal and courier., 1900-02-10

performer to do so The ribs should ex- hand sideways in the taking of breath the chest rising and falling with each phrase. False breathing-such as when | a ladys shoulders rise as if they were about to expand like wings-not only | tires the throat, but makes disagreea-
 ble impression on the audience. Singers should once d day practise before a | looking-glass, in order to correct any faults arising from defective breathing l or from grimace. Breath must never be taken between head note and chest note the transition from the one voice to the other must be done with very lit-
 tie breath and very softly.
 Nasal singing destroys the carrying power of the voice. Voices which are
 metallic in sound carry best. Singers whose voices are naturally soft in quail ity should therefore try to acquire lit tic stridency in tone; and, vice versa,
 singers whose voices are too strident
 should aim at rounder and softer quality. In some halls the reverbera-
 ton blurs the tone of the voice, there fore the singer must accommodate the
 amount of tone to the acoustic proper
 ties of the place where he Is singing In
 a warm oppressive room, ith is necessa- " to reserve the power of the voice, be-
 cause forcing the voice under such cir cumstances allows it to become easily fatigued and used up. The best way of combating an echo in hall is, never to shout. It appears easy to sing In a hall full of vibration, but this is deception. The tone goes all round the singers ears, and he cannot hear properly when he sings aloud and so he loses control of the tone; it is therefore ad visable to sing piano and feel the way as the qui- eter tone travels better and the percus- sion is not so great as in a loud, shout ing tone.
 Increase and decrease of tone are pro- duced by the breath alone. A man in a raging passion will swell the muscles of the throat and grow red in the face in attempting to give utterance to his anger but he is indeed, as the phrase goes choking himself with rage" be- cause he is trying to get terrible vol ume of voice by physical pressure on the throat and the more he swells his veins and muscles the less able is he to speak At all Singers, therefore, should not attempt to get a crescendo by press ing the muscles of the throat. Com mand of breath is the only method.- London Idler.

From Other "Pens'
THE VERY TRUTH.

The breakdown in American life
comes from worry, and worry has
almost come to be national dis
ease. If an American has no
money he worries himself into
state of mind, and when he gets
any money he worries himself to
death for fear he will lose it. He
worries at his work because he is
afraid he will not accomplish what
he is given to do. He worries
about his meals; they are not on
time, or they may disagree with
him, or they may be costing him
too much. If he pays for thing
in advance he is afraid it will not
come up to the specifications, and
if he gets it on credit he is afraid
that he will not be able to pay for
it when the bill comes in. He is
afraid to leave his money in the
house lest it be stolen. He is
afraid to carry it with him lest
somebody should borrow it from
him. He is afraid to put it in a
bank lest the bank should fail.
And so he worries about it. He
worries about his business, whether
it is going smoothly or not. He
worries about his family, about the
education of his children and the
progress they are making. He
worries about the nation, about
congress, about the two great
political parties, about the national
conventions, about the guberna-
torial elections, about the tariff
and financial questions, about the
Initiative and referendum, about
the abstract right of secession,
about the resolutions of 100, about

Paper Read Before the Chd,ttduQatd Circle.
The Labor Question.

The subject which I have chos-
en- is a subject which is both
broad and deep, and one which
has caused the greatest thinkers
of the past as we'll as Of the pres
sent, to pause and give the matter
due and careful consideration.
Perhaps there is no question
placed before the American peo-
pie in this advanced age of civil
cation which appeals to the people
of the land as does the labor
question at hand.
Every question, as we all know.
has two sides to it. [ shall take
the laboring mans view of the
matter and point out the cause Of
discord arising between the capt.
talist and the laboring man. l
believe the chief cause may be
traced directly or indirectly to the
capitalist.
In the first place he is not will
ing to pay fair days work. In
the second place the working
mans hours are in excess of the
compensation received; and in the
third place-and I believe this
will be found the cause of trouble
in more cases than the two afore-
mentioned causes-and that is the
reduction Of wages due in SO
many cases to poor business trans
actions or speculation on the part
of the capitalist, and in order that
he may recover his loss, reduces
the wages of those in his employ.
La most every case where there
are number Of persons injured
by the reduction of wages. trouble
is most sure to follow.
[ am a firm believer in a union
and I also believe that every
laboring man should belong to a
union in order that they may
receive justice from the hands of
the capitalist.
There is, however, one obstacle
which the union men must over
come before they can stand on
equal basis with the capitalist,
and that is cheap labor. We find
in most every case where the
union men have gone out on a
strike there has been a class of
people ever ready to step in and
take the place of the union man.

Many stories are told Of the
Observation-Disclosures Of the late DR..
McAllister, rector of Trinity
church, Elizabeth, and brother Of
the late Ward McAllister. One
night was returning to Elizabeth
from New York, and took train
which was not scheduled to stop
at his station. Discovering his
mistake he appealed to the con-
ductor, being anxious to get word
to his wife.
Presently the conductor came
back to the doctor and said that a
railroad official was on the train,
and that it would make an extra
stop at Elizabeth.
