The Value of singing.

From the medical standpoint singing
Is most important exercise both by
virtue of its influence on the emotions.
on the respiratory movements and on
the development Of the lungs. Nothing
better shows the beneficial effect of
singing in developing the chest and
warding of the lung diseases than the
great pulmonary development aud free
dom from pulmonary disease among
professional singers. Their general
health, moreover, is exceptionally good,
and this is probably in a large meas
ure attributable to the mere. exercise
Of the calling. 1t is especially useful
in defective chest development and in
chronic heart disease. Provided the
patient can sing with comfort there is
no condition in which singing is con
traindicated unless it be a tendency to
tuberculosis or aneursmal hnmoptysis.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that the
singer should be so clad 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 the stays, If
worn. ample and loose.

make the crown princes visit an event
of Importance. The Siamese minister,
Phya Akharaj Varadhara, has been in
consultation with Secretary Hay as to
the arrangements for the crown
princes reception. The minister was
assured that the reception would be
as cordial and as elaborate as the gov
eminent could make it.
The suggestion has been made that
if the crown prince is pleased with
his visit to the United States his
father, the king Of Siam, will then
visit this country. ....,
Soon after congress assembled last
December Senator Frye introduced
resolution authorizing the president
to formally invite the king to visit the
United States and be the guest of the
nation. 1t was explained that the king
had expressed desire to make a tour
of this country. The American min
lister at Bangkok, Mr.. King, in COM
munication suggesting an invitation
to the king, called attention to many
unpleasant episodes attending the
kings visit to Europe, although their
precise character was not made clear,
and saying his majesty would desire
to guard against repetition of these
unpleasant episodes. Mr.. King in

majesty's hesitation about coming to

j. BALFOUR.
England's New Premier and His
Illustrious Predecessor.
Man Who Will G svern Great britain
for Some Years to Come In u
Nephew of the Retiring
Government Chief.

The nephew succeeds the uncle, for
Arthur James Balfour, incoming pre-
mier of England, bears that relation
ship to the marquis of Salisbury, who
goes out cheerfully to resume his
beloved studies of chemistry in the
laboratories Of his great house near
st. Adams
When Arthur Balfour was at Cam
bridge he got the name of Aunt
Fanny" but he has lived it down.
There is nothing effeminate in the
character of Arthur Balfour who to-
day steps into one of the first admin
istrative positions in the world.
He was born in Scotland July IS,
1s4S, and is the eldest son of the late
James Maitland Balfour and Lady
Blanche Gascoigne Cecil, sister of the
present marquis of Salisbury. He
practically began his political life as
private secretary to his uncle when
the marquis was secretary of state for
foreign affairs. One-third of his 81
years have been spent in political serv-
ice, that service finally bringing him
er of the house of commons. Ever
since he was first elected to parlia
ment in 1874 he has been close to the
person and deep in the counsels of
Lord Salisbury. He is popular in
many sections of the empire, and ad-
mired where he is not popular.
He was selected for the chief Sec
retaryship of Ireland, because "he had
the hardest head, the steadiest nerve,
and the strongest hand" for the po-
sition. His self-possession is de-
scribed as ''indbmitable and ever Wig
liant The conservatives hold to him
because he is an "aristocrat to his
finger tips" and that kind of aris-
tocracy is quite popular in England at
the present time.
Scotland has taken especial delight
in honoring this brilliant son of hers.
There is scarce a university in the Land
of heather that has not conferred upon

archical ideas before Luther began
his reformation.
81 have been urged to erect a large
church, but have thought that the
structure now designed will be sutfi-
cient to accommodate my flock. The
president is one of my communicates.
The new church has been under con-
sideration ever since the present mod
est edifice was completed. If after
we have completed the new one there
be sufficient money, we will remodel
the parsonage, so that the two struc-
lures may be harmonious in their
Gothic outlines. My congregation is
not a rich one, but l have not found it
difficult to collect the necessary funds,
about $4,000. nt a-"a@ ....# r
1T has been said that we have been
largely helped by contributions from
sources outside the church. There
have been some such, but not enough
to detract from the enterprise of the
local congregation. OF course must
refuse to divulge the contribution Of
the president, as neither he nor con-
slider it seemly to enter into such de-
tails. My congregation consists of
sturdy Germans Dutch and Huguenot
families of the District Of Columbia.
We hope to be esta blished in our new
church about December L."

him an honorary degree of some kind
or elected him to some position in its
government. English universities
have also signally honored him, and,
although a graduate of Cambridge, Ok
ford has heaped it's honors upon him
with friendly hand.
Balfour has called himself popu-
lar statesman, land by that" he says,
81 do not mean a statesman who is
personally popular, but a statesman
who aims at furthering the prosper
ity of the people,"
Lord Salisbury looks back on a DO
1itical career of more than half cen
tury.
In 1858, when only 90 years old, he
was elected to parliament as member
for Stamford. and represented the
borough for Is years. He took an
active part in all public measures
which affected the interests of the
esta blished church and the chief po-
litical questions of the day. In his
younger days Lord Salisbury was
frequent contributor to the Quarterly
Review and kindred periodicals.
In 1866 he was appointed secretary
of state for India, which post he re-
signed in 1867 on account of differ
ence of opinion respecting the reform
bill. Two years later he was elected
chancellor Of the University of Ok
ford in succession to the late earl of
Derby. .....
When Disraeli returned to office in
1874 Lord Salisbury was appointed sec.
rotary of state for India. These two
great statesmen were the representa-
tives Of Great Britain at the congress
of Berlin in 1878. On his return the
queen invested Lord Salisbury with
the Order Of the Garter.
In 1881, after the death of, Lord
Beaconsfeld, the marquis became the
leader of the conservative party in
the house of lords. On January 9,
1885. Mr.. Gladstone was beaten on a
budget vote and resigned, and Lord
Salisbury took office as premier.

At present DR.. Schick has consre-
cation of somewhat more than 200 COM
municants. The newspapers con-
stamtly refer to this church as the
Dutch Reformed, but on this head and
others DR.. schick pleasantly explains:
"My church is not the Dutch Re
formed church, Though many persons
prefer to mention it under that desig-
nation. Ours is the Grace Reformed
church, and if It belongs to any ma
tional origin it is German. Our church
is differentiated from the Lutheran
churches in that it's vivifying principle
is republicanism, while Lutheranism
is the church of the princes and mon
archs. Our church took its origin III
Switzerland when the Monk Zwingle,
ut Basic, proclaimed the republican,
ism of worship in opposition to the
monarchical and feudal tendency OF
the Roman Catholics under the papal
monarch. We are Reformed Cath
olics. The Dutch Reformed, German
Reformed, Bohemian and Swiss
churches all use the same catechlsm
and have the same faith. The separa-
ton into nationalities came after the
church had been established. and has
little meaning. AS a matter OF fact
we are older than Luther's church, be-
cause Zwingle had proclaimed his doc
trine of opposition to Roman mon

GOOD WORK COUNTS.
New System of Promotions for the
Pension Bureau.
Commissioner Ware Announces That
Merit Alone Is to he Considered
in the Selection Of Men
for Positions.

Pension Commissioner Eugene F.
Ware has adopted a system of pro-
motions for his bureau which he in
tends to make a permanent feature.
The system is explained in the fol
lowing letter of instructions to spe-
cial committee on promotions:
II want you to pick out the best
men you can find in the bureau for
each place, three from which can
select. l want to promote for merit.
l want to establish an incentive.
Therefore you will not overlook the
quiet man who attends to his duty.
Do not forget the man, who has no
statesman interceding for him. Re-
member the old soldier and prefer
him when his merits and capability
are equal. Give no precedence to po-
litical pull, and do not let religion
or nativity cut any figure. When
merits are equal, and only when
equal, take a republican instead of
democrat"
In explaining his system, Mr.. Ware
said to New York Times CORE
oPoAuSAI'
my first lesson on assuming this
Office was that the most remarkable
pressure was brought to bear on the
commissioner of pensions to appoint
men to positions in the bureau who
had had no experience in the office.
I had two $1,000 positions to fill, and
I hoped to postpone the selection of
men for those places until l had
fully familiarized myself with the Of
fee conditions. But I found had to
make those appointments and make
them soon. / think there were over
400 men presented to me with the
strongest Endorsements for those two
jobs. ..
swell, nearly all of the applicants
were well fitted for the work, but as
looked about the Office l saw a good
many other men who had worked
here for years, who had developed
the most valuable knowledge and ex-

DAVIS MEMORIAL ARCH.
Ronor Of the President of the
late C0nfederacy.

The arch to be erected in Monroe
park, Richmond, Va, to the memory
OF Jefferson Davis was designed by
Louis A. Gudebrod, Of New York.
The completed arch will have .
height of 65 feet, width Of 20 feet
and a breadth Of "a feet. The arch
way is to be rs feet wide and 40 feet
high in the clear. The entire arch is
to be construct ed of finest southern
granite, and to have an interior stair
way leading to the top. The sculptor
has adopted the Corinthian style Of
architecture as being most in har-
mony with the prevailing style in the
south, as well as especially adapted
to express the purposes of the arch.
The intended ornamentation has
been only generally expressed in the

THE PEOPLE OF ACRE.
Little Known Region of South Amer r.
ica in Dispute Between Bolivia
.. and Brazil.

The region of Acre, in northern Boz
livia, has been disputed territory be-
tween that country and Brazil for
nearly so years. The little country
has come into public notice recently
because Bolivia leased part of the
Acre region to an Anglo-American
syndicate. Brazil objects to this
business arrangement, and has
threatened to break off diplomatic re-
lations unless the contract is re.
scinded.
Except that the country is rich
in rubber, little is known about it.

tween the boundaries of Brazil and
Bolivia, and Peru and Bolivia, with

sition of the sides of this triangle as

model submitted, the smaller details
of ornamental work being too difficult
to execute in SO small model. The
ornamentation involved in the various
inscriptions in raised letters are alb
sent; these in themselves will serve
as to further embellish the arch.
Two bronze figures are to be placed
on either end Of the arch, and will be
symbolical of Fame and the Lost
Cause" and are to be more than twice
life size.
The sculptor has endeavored to ex-
press in his work the life Of Jefferson
Davis, as well as to perpetuate the
ideals and principles which he repre-
scented. 10 this end the two bronze
statuet represent Fame and the "Lost
Cause"
In the spandrels, two on each side OF
the arch, will be placed four bas-re-
liefs, representing Glory, Truth, JUS
tice and Nalor. These further illus
trate Mr.. Davis life as connected with
his people. The figure Glory repre-
sents the glory won by Jefferson Da.
Wis and the people of the confederate
states during the most trying period
of their history. The figure Truth
represents their united devotion to
the cause which they championed.
Justice represents the answering be-
lief in the righteousness of their cause
and the justice of the struggle. Valor
represents the many deeds of heroism
of Jefferson Davis and his people both
in their homes and in the field. The
ID seals in the attic represent the con-
federate states the central one being
the seal of Virginia while upon the
five low relief panels in the attic and
upon the two panels in the archway

perience here-many of them old
soldiers-and I made up my mind
that if anyone was made an $1,000
clerk it should be the man who had
proved his ability and his steadiness
right here under fire, so to speak.
I'll appoint outsiders as places for
them may be created, but they will
have to go in at the bottom of the
ladder.
''That was my first principle-that
no outsider should be jumped over
the heads of efficient clerks already
in the office. My second principle
was this: That men in the office
should be promoted, not jumped half
a dozen grades at once, and should
be promoted entirely on merit. Those
two 'dictums,' so to speak, are the
basis of this new system of promo
tons.
II meet my chiefs of divisions, as
sistant chiefs, chief clerk and depu-
ty commissioners every week. We
have a little congress here with
about 40 members. This system was
evolved little by little by that con-
gress. I explained my purpose as to
promotions. / told them all that
merit, tried and proved, was to be
the only consideration. Then, when
the first vacancy arose, I appointed
a special committee of three chiefs
of division to serve as a select COM
mittee on promotions in that one in
stance.
''Those gentlemen acted exactly ac-
cording to my instructions. They
sent me a list of men from whom
could choose. Every man on that
list was of the highest possible grade.
A good many were democrats. The
democrats feel that when head-lop-
ping is to be done his head will be
the first to go. So he has two incen-
tives to become one of the best
clerks in the office. -
II made the promotions with this
help from the selection committee of
division chiefs. Then when I gave
each man his commission 1 gave him
a letter along this line:
''This is to say that you do not
owe your promotion to political in
fuence or to the commissioner or to
your friends. You were promoted
solely on account of merit, and I
hope that while you remain in the
bureau you will continue the course
which gave you this promotion
