We had now crossed the Vici deli Elce,

EDWARDS, and after stiff climb reached
the Porta San Angelo. Here my companion,
betaking himself once more to his clutches
and keeping ahead of me, turned south

towards Santa Agnese. Shortly before
reaching the church, we came to small but
solid-looking building, half fortress, hale

same object, proceeded to rearrange and re-

the house was little way back from the
wall, which it overlooked. The massive
doorway was shut, and the windows on each
side of it, as well as those set above, heavily
grated. l was too near the house to see

PARIS. June What it means to feed
the hordes that are now focking into Par
is for the Exposition words can only fee
bly, convey.
When it comes to feeding the millions,
Paris is right in her element-there is no
other civilized city that knows as much
about handling foodstuffs and catering to
wholesome hunger as she. Her markets are
the best managed in Europe, her restau-
rants have no parallel for numbers and
finely disciplined kitchens, and II anyone
has the time and the influence to get into
tiny Office off the Rue de Louvre, where
the managers of the markets receive re-
ports on every pound of butter and every
pod of peas that comes into the city lin
its, realization may be had Of how well
the Partisan pantry is prepared for the en-
tertainment of the strangers within her
gates.
In the year 1890. says Monsieur Commits
saire, of the huge Central Market, Paris
ate 200.0 coo tons of butchers meat, $500
tons OF game and poultry, 2S.IOO tons OF
fish. 1890 tons of butter, and 496, ZOO
eggs. Multiply each one of these items by
three and you will get the amount OF flesh,
fish. eggs, and butter that are now esti-
mated as necessary tc supply the private
houses hotels, and restaurants in 1900.
Down at the Hailes Centra!es, save in the
meat market, the women rule absolutely
and preside over the most admirably ar
ranged food depot In the world. No other

thing to compare with that four acres of

What to Sing.

Tine Young woman who merely sings or
MAYS well enough to make pleasant music
fur her friends can still be artistic in the
styla and quality Of her performance ii
she lives away from musical centres one
of her greatest difficulties is keeping IN
touch with new and charming compost
lions. and to this end some suggestions are
offered as to the works now delighting the
inner circle of music lovers, both III TINS

the inexperienced amateur is shipwrecked.

Il ose with simple accompaniment be sent

itself to high voice nor every song writ
ten for low voices "lie in" every con-
tralto's range.
The wise way to choose your vocal music
IS first to know exactly which part OF your
own voice is hest, and to try to select songs
which lie mostly among those very good
notes; secondly. to read the words care
fully. and see II they convey to your mind
any sentiment or picture which appeals 70
you. and finally to be sure that both words
and music are well fitted one to the ether.
and that you will be able to give them
proper meaning. The easier. the mere
naturally you pronounce your words, the
better you are singing. Don't try to sing
other than English songs, there are so
many beautiful ones Low; don't sing trans
lations, because the words and the mrsic
we're not originally intended for one an
other, and very seldom fit. Stick to songs
written to English words. and ask all your
friends and family if they can understand
every word you sing. Your tones cannot

Correct dictiGn will take you a long way in
the race; the use of little mother wit will
tell you where in a sentence breath can lie
taken, for, remember. always, that the
musical composer writes his song to suit
the words; he does not choose the words
