A Celebrated Tenor's Advice to Young
SINGERS.

A Celebrated Tenor's Advice to Young
Singers.
First, In regard to the voice l am
inclined to believe that any person
possessed of health, a deep chest. Il
good larynx, and with no confirmed
bad habits in tone production, and
who has In addition an inexhaustible
supply Of perseverance and patience,
can sing.
Concentration Of purpose is the true
secret of success in singing, as In ey-
cry other art and occupation under
the sun. Granting. then. that you have
a good If not a great voice, what are
the next essentials for an operate ca
reer?
Youth-cela va sans dire. You win
need all the years of your life to per
feet your art, and the sooner you be-
gin after completing your physical de-
yelopment the better. 1t is great
mistake however TO begin using the
voice before attaining the growth. The
vocal organs previous TO this time are
immature and very little strain will
weaken and often ruin them beyond
repair.
Properly equipped at the start with
voice, youth and health. a singer has
much in his favor, but more is yet re-
quired for a sincere artist. A thorough
knowledge of music In all its branches
Is vital. Nearly every one of our great
artists Is skilled musician. The
study of music should be thorough
long before vocal training begins. The
better the musician the quicker are
the results in the cultivation OF the
voice
Temperament is the one great re-
/ qulrement for an opera singer, with
out which all other qualities are insult
| ficient The temperament which ena-
bles me to feel the thought In the mu-
sic as well as in the words. and 10
give expression to that thought by
voice and action. is the soul Of all true
operate work. and from il is born
/ dramatic ability.
With all these qualities you may
think success is certain. But that is
not so. One may possess all Of them,
yet never attain greatness. Applica-
ton, perseverance, concentration, are
the qualities which tell Indomitable
win accomplishes wonders. and you
will need it in operate work.
So then, my friends, II after due
consideration and competent advice
you think you are suited TO operate
work, by all means devote yourself to
II. Do all in your power TO fit yourself
for yeur work. II you cannot, at once
study abroad. then do your best at
home Study the languages. Perfect
| yourself mentally. physically and vo-
cally for your chosen career. Remem-
ber that n great deal. almost every
thing. depends upon yourself. Your in
structor can only guide you. DO no,
rely upon him to accomplish results
If your voice Is OF only moderate com
pass and volume do not think Of going
into operate work. on the other hand

Various Kinds of caterpiIIars and How
to Fight Them.

to Fight Them.
There are caterpillars and caterpil-
lars. 1t may be well to distinguish be-
tween them to some extent. The one
which seems to be making the most
mischief in the country just now Is
the Clissiocampa Disstria or forest
tree tent caterpillar. All caterpillars
go through the same general series Of
experiences. They are Matched from
eggs, develop into caterpillars, eat
rayenously the leaves of the trees in
whose shade they are born, curl up
into cocoons when they have had
enough of groyelling existence, emerge
as moths from the intermediate pupa
state, and then extend the area of
their Investigations with the aid Of
wings. One of the Incidental features
Of this last stage of the insects career
is the laying of eggs, in clumps OF sew
eral hundred. on the trunk or branch
IS Of the tree Having thus done what
it considers Its duty by posterity, the
moth is likely TO perish by too much
curiosity in regard to the nature Of a
candle blaze or street gas lamp. The
forest-tree moth is a night liier, and
shows n particular fondness for lights.
Both experience and reason suggest
that the best way TO fight the caterpil-
lar is to remove the egg clusters from
the trees before they hatch out. E.
B. SOuthwick, entOmOl0gist of the
New York City parks, devotes n large
part of the winter to this work. His
men go over all the trees in his bail,-
wick with steel brushes, and take Off
every bunch of eggs they can discover
If, however, the caterpillar has a
chance to hatch, he will hatch in num-
bers, and then he must be dealt with
! In a different manner. If he has not
} yet done much damage. he ought to be
/ treated TO poisoned spray. DR.. South
wick prefers as the result Of his long
experience. a mixture in Which Lon
don purple. an neutrality-suspicious., Is
! the chief ingredient He likes this
| form of arsenic because il mixes with
the other materials more readily than
does Paris green. His formula is: One
pound Of London purple, six Of slaked
lime TO prevent injurious effects TO
the fOliage). four quarts Of flour ito
promote sticSiness), and n hundred
gallons of water Other experts use
Paris green. 1t Is conceded, though,
that one must take the caterpillars
when they first begin to hatch, in or
der to destroy them effectually In this
manner. Otherwise It will be impossi-
bic to keep pace with them.

JOHN H. BEATTY RECEIVES A
DAGGER FROM THE PHILIP
PINES.
John H. Beatty, the well-known meat
dealer OF Eighth street market, has re-
ceived an interesting relic from the
Philippines
The memento is In shape of a dagger
or stungeree as IL is termed, and has a
curved blade. sharp pointed as a needle
about nine inches long. 1t was taken
from an insurgent who was captured
by the American troops and is an ugly
looking weapon. The dagger Is en-
closed In a leather case to which Is
attached a loop for the purpose of
carrying 1t on the belt and is the usual
weapon carried by the Fllipinos.
The instrument was accompanied by
a letter from relative OF Mr. Beatty,

One Of the best ways Of giving salt
to poultry s to mix It with the soft
food supplied TO them. Season II the
same as you would food prepared for
the table and this Is all that will lie
necessary. Some salt is essential TO
the best health but too much Is detri-
mental.
When a speciality is being made Of
raising fowls for market, whether TO
sell as brOlers or as more matured
fowls. Il will. I'm nearly all cases, pay
10 select some one Of the largcr breeds
like Brahmas. Cochns, or l.angshans.
One advantage with the Langshans is
that they are good winter layers and

FOR THE YOUNG FOLK.
Two Good Stories About Intelligent

Bred among the coldest regions Of
the Alps, the splendid ST. Bernard
dogs are the largest OF the canine
race. They are accustomed from their
birth to the deep SHOWS which ever
lastingly cover the mountain tops.
Whenever snow storm occurs the
monks belonging to the monastery OF
st. Bernard send forth their dogs on
their errands Of mercy. Taught by the
wonderful instinct with which they
are endowed, they traverse the dan
gerOus paths. and seldom fail TO dis.
cover the frozen sufferer, even though
he Is buried under snow drift. When
a dog has made such a discovery, it
gives notice by its deep and powerful
bay Of the perilous state of the suffer
er, and endeavors TO clear away the
snow that covers the lifeless form.
The monks hearing the voice of the
dog. Immediately set of to the aid Of
the perlshing traveller, aud In many
cases have thus preserved lives. In or.
der to afford every possible help TO the
sufferer small flask Of spirits is gen.

do you work your butter twice?

not work it twice. l guess l know how
TO make good butter I've made butter
for 30 years and worked every pound

much pains with It, I work every
pound of It twice never have
streaked butterf' I told her / never
worked butter much. I always use the
best fine butter salt and just work II
enough to thoroughly mix the salt
evenly through the butter. and work
It out in two-pound blocks as soon as
/ could get It out Of the air. Water
left in butter does not injure 1t IN any
way. Good butter should be about
twelve per cent. water. Buttermilk

BE NOT OVER.CONFiDENr

In private letter to the Landmark
one of the ablest, as well as one OF the
most conservative and safest leaders
of the Democratic party in the State.
says that our greatest danger in this
campaign is over-confdence. Our
friends letter was not written for
publication, but inasmuch as we be-
lieve that this danger threatens we
take the liberty Of calling attention
to it. He believes that we will carry
the State, as we all do, but he saws
what is apparent to all conservative
and thinking Democrats-thati it can
be done only by the most persistent
and united effort; and that in this ef-
fort there must be much personal
work. for there are many who cannot
be reached either by literature or pub
lie speaking.
Continuing. our friend says that
one Of the prime causes of our defeat
in "a, when we first lost the State,
was this same over-confdence. This
is true. and we here in Iredell are
fully prepared to testify to it's truth
as TO our own county. Those of US
who are familiar with the campaign
in the county that year know and well
remember that we need not have lost
the county if we could only have
convinced our own forces that we
were in danger. The great mass of
them could not see the danger and we
lost, and this was doubtless the case
in many other counties.
We are no alarmist but we desire to
warn the Democrats at the outset
against over-confidence and under
rating the enemy. Statements that
we will carry the State for the amend
ment and the State ticket by so, 900,
more or less, are quite common, and
there is an air of supreme confidence
in our success pervading the Demo-
cratic hosts that is quite encouraging.
But we should remember the Scrip
lures which saith: "Let not him
boast that putteth on his armor like
him that taketh it off," We verify
believe-and we say it not for publ
cation merely, but we sincerely be-
lieve it-that the amendment and our
State ticket will win. But this con-
tidencc includes work without ceas-
ing on the part of Democrats and all
friends Of good government from now
until the day of election. Without
that we cannot win.-Statesville
