Lung power and capacity may be
wonderfully increased and strengthen
ed by constant repetition of the syl-
liable "ah" on the three or four notes
in the middle register of the voice
that is, the three or four notes which
one sings most naturally and with the
least effort. Let the pupil get one note
clear cut, round, full and musical; then
from that note as starting point let
him go up and down, gradually work
ing out the huskiness from the ada
cent notes and sounding them until
they become pure and resonant and
can be delivered without strain or eff
fort
Let him work systematically and,
above all. avoid the pernicious trick of
learning "pieces" by rote or by ear.
His first effort should be to increase
the purity and range Of his voice, and
to that end he should. as suggested
above. use the broad syllable "ah"
only for time, and on no account
should be try to sing an air until he
can do SO understandingly. with a full
knowledge of musical notation and a
perfect command Of his vocal re-
sources.

RISKS FIREMEN TAKE.


The Reason Engineer Brown Stuck
to His Dangerous Post.
The risks that firemen in big cities
take are an everlasting wonder, and
the story of Bill Brown, as told by
Cleveland Moffett in Careers Of OAR
ing and Danger" shows that the en-
gineer's bravery is sometimes put to
tests as severe as those which the
hose man or the ladder man even has to
endure.
What happened was this: Engine 20,
pumping her prettiest, stood at the cor
ner so near the drughouse that the
driver thought 1t wasn't safe for the
horses and led them away. That left
Brown alone, against the cheek of the
fire, watching his boiler and keeping
his steam gauge at seventy-five.
AS the fire gained chunks of redhot
sandstone began to smash down on the
engine. Brown ran his pressure up to
eighty and watched the door anxiously
where the four firemen from his squad
had gone into the furnace.
Then an explosion Of chemicals in
the building sent a fame wide as a
house curling across the street, enwrap-
ping engine and man and setting fire
to the elevated railway station over
head. Bill Brown stood by his engine
with a sheet of fire above him. He
heard footsteps on the pavement and
voices that grew fainter crying, run
for your livesw He was alone, and the
skin on his hands, face and neck was
blistered.
Brown knew why every one was rum
ming. There would be another explo-
sion. 1t was tolerably certain that he
must die If he stayed. But his four
chums were in the fire and needed the
water. If he quit his engine, the water
would fail
He stocked in coal and ran the gauge
up another notch, easing the running
parts with the oiler. He was offering
his life for his friends
In a few minutes the four firemen
came out Of the building Then Bill
Brown ran for his life with his COM
rades. A second or two later engine
20 was crushed by the falling walls.

!, One of the rules of the postoffice de-
partment which often provokes dissat-
isfaction is that which prohibits post
master or any member of his family
from giving out the addresses of pa
irons Of the Office A person may be
looking for some one whose address
has been lost or misplaced. What is
more natural than to go to the post
Office and ask for the information? But
the postmaster. II he obeys the regula-
lions, Will not give it The government
acts on the theory that it is not its bust
ness to disclose the whereabouts OF the
patrons of the postoffice. Debtors may
be pursued by importunate creditors;
young women may be subjected to un-
pleasant attentions; hundreds of people
for various reasons, good and bad, may
desire to conceal from somebody their
place of residence. 1t is not the bust
ness Of the government to expose them
to annoyance.-Youth's Companion.
