SIMS REEVES ON BREATHING.
How 1t Should Be Done and What to
Avoid.


Avoid.
Breathing, wrote Sims Reeves. in a
recent number of the London Idler, is
an exercise in itself. Singers should
not purposely study the anatomical con-
ditions Of the throat and lungs; it is
with the emotional, not the anatomical
side of his art that the singer has to
do. For the practical purpose of sing
ing knowledge of the muscles of the
throat Is as useless as knowledge of
the muscles of the arms Is for playing
cricket. Cases are INTO infrequent where
| anatomical studies have tendency o
est up a sort of nervous dread in the
singer that the breathing is not being
done the correct way. Incorrect breath
| ing is an acquired habit, induced some
times by an elaborate means taken to
avoid it. A few simple hints are all
that are necessary; the rest of what is
called the art of breathing is very much
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 or
der for the production Of good tone. 1t
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 so. Breathing constant
ly through the mouth inclines to dry the
throat and make the voice husky. But
1t is impossible to sing declama tory
music 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 ford music of that descrip-
ton, 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
act of taking breath; there should be no
perceptible movement of the body at
all. Never take in breath of a sudden
when only practiclng. although the
singing of certain passages obliges the
performer to do SO. The ribs should
expand sideways in the taking of breath
the chest rising and falling with each
phrase. False breathing-such as when
lady's shoulders rise as if they were
about to expand like wings-not only
tires the throat, but makes a disagree
able impression on the audience.

means of finding the $50 in gold de-
manded by our kind fellow country
man for the two bags of damaged
| flour and the few pounds of bacon
which we had consumed during the
last dreary days of the confederacy
we heard that kind-hearted northern
ers were sending money and clothing
to the needy people of the South. and
we then and there experienced the
first thrills of reconstruction. We,
fortunately possessed handsome
brussels carpet, which we sold for
sum sufficient to pay our debts, and
this was our dear mothers first ex-
perience in the business Of trade; for
before the war" she and all of us
were firmly convinced that nothing,
except rice or cotton, could be sold by
gentlefolks, and in no smaller quantity
than a ''crop" could even those COM
modities be disposed of, as otherwise
the transaction would SAVIOR too much
Of "shop-keeping. All, nous avons
change tout celia" But our mother
took care to the vocation con amore,
and energetically vended furniture,
carpets, cut glass, china, ETC., until we
accused her of selling the very chairs
on which we were seated. MY dear
child, let Mrs Country Neighbor see
that rocking-chair," she would say,
entering our room, and III her wake
would appear gaunt, sun-bonneted
figure, who, after sundry derogatory
remarks anent the chair, would pro-
duce a purse which had Waxed fat be-
cause its owner had traded on our me-
cessities, and the purchase would be
completed We struck bonanza in
the sale of finger bowls, which our
country neighbors fancied as butter
dishes, and which we were glad to dis
pose of, our buffers and waiting men
having been promoted to the position
of students, planters and gentlemen of
leisure.
And so ended the struggle, which,
though 1T endured for four long years.
exists now but as a nightmare. But
to some it is still useful as capital in
political campaigns, in literary ven
lures, and sometimes in social emer-
gencies. Perhaps the most remarka-
Bile result Of the war is the extraordin-
airy longevity displayed by it's veterns,
