Well knowing what they had to ex

and unable TO escape TO the mountains,

rough faces they were used to climbing
and with whose caves they were ia

In which they might find a temporary
refuge. they descended TO the ledge,

young woman. who was TO return and
release them as soon as the soldiers

Many hours they waited there, ex-

would be lowered by their friend But

GOOD EFFECTS OF SINGING.
Valuable Form of Exercise for Per
sOna with Weak Lunra

Valuable Form of Exercise for Per.
sons with Weak Lungs.
Many medical men are now recon-
mending their patients TO study sing
Ing, which Is a most salutary exercise,
both by virtue OF Its influence on the
emotions, on the respiratory move
ments and on the development OF the
lungs, says the st. Louis Globe Demo
crat. Nothing better shows the bene-
nclal influence OF singing In developing
the chest and warding OF lung disease
than the freedom from pulmonary AT
fections among professional singers.
Moreover, their general health Is ex-
ceptionally good, and this Ia probably
In large measure attributable, not
Of living. but also to the exercise Of
their calling. Some physicians main
tain that for defective chest develop
ment and In chronic heart trouble sing
ing is an unequaled exercise The
singer should be clad 50 as TO allow
absolute freedom Of the chest move
ments; there should be no construction
Of tho neck or waist; the collar should
be low and ample, and II corsets are
worn they should be roomy and loose.
One error into which singers and espe-
ciall 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.
Specific rules cannot be given. Media,
when asked how many hours of prac-
tice day she would advise for pupil,
said: mo hours for a beginner, but
minutes. l. myself, never practice more
than one hour day, and usually much
less" DIR. II. Holbrook Curtis consid-
ers forty minutes or an hour of actual
voice practice daily Is quite sufficient
to develop most voices. This time
should be divided into periods Of ten
or fifteen minutes each. Regularity.
and not long practice hours. which only
fatigue the voice and wear II out, is the
greatest aid to advancement The voice
develops very gradually, and any at
tempt to force Its growth is q fatal
mistake.

Made by Monks.

In La Grand Chartreuse. the famous
monastery Of France. a liQueur noted
all over the world has been made by
the monks since the year 1854. An In
genious system Of adulteration has
been discovered. A hole Is bored In
the fat bottoms Of the sealed bottles
and some Of the genuine Chartreuse Ia
withdrawn. After an inferior stimu-
liant has been substituted, the hole IL
fllled By the introduction Of n glass
plug, which Is then melted by means OF
blow pipe.
