GOOD EFFECTS OF SINGING.

saiuabie Form of Exercise for Per.

Many medical men are now recon-

Ing, which Is a most salutary exercise
both by virtue OF its influence on the
emotions. on the respiratory move

lungs, says the st. Louis Globe Demo
crat Nothing better shows the bene-
ficial influence OF singing In developing
the chest and warding of lung disease
than the freedom from pulmonary af-
fections among professional singers.
Moreover. their general health is ex-
ceptionaily good, and this is probably
In large measure attributable. not
only to their necessarily careful plan
OF living, but also to the exercise of
their calling. Some physicians main
tain that for defective chest develop

Ing Is an unequaled exercise. The
singer should be clad SO as to allow
absolute freedom of the chest move
ments; there should be no construction
of the neck or waist; the collar should
be low and ample, and IL corsets are
worn they should be roomy and loose.
One error into which singers, and espe-
eiali amateurs. fall, Is to practice too
much. The length Of time to be given |
to the exercise depends much upon the |
character and condition of the voice,
