The Value of sfnufnr.

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 off the lung diseases than the
great pulmonary development and 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 s&g with comfort there is
no condition in which singing is con-
traindicated unless it be tendency to
tuberculosis or aneurismal hamoptysis.
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.

Mixed Metaphors,

A German lady in town in Ventura
county had daughter who was her
mothers pride. The mamma bears
somewhat of reputation as Mrs.
Malaprop and is also prosperous mer-
chant. On one occasion the daughter,
who assists her mother in the store,
was by dint of hard work among rela-
tives and friends chosen as queen of a
street carnival to be held in the town.
Maternal pride ran riot in the elder
woman's breast. To friend she burst
forth in this ecstatic strain:
"Oh, mein Mollie! She vas so peau-
tiful as neffer vas! Dere vas no gerrel
so beautiful as mein Mollie. Und she
vas sooch goot cook-mein gracious,
she vas sooch a goot cook. Und she
vas sooch goot tressmaker. Oh, dere

Rocky Autograph Album.

Probably the oldest and most pre-
cious autograph album that has ever
existed lies in an almost unknown cor
ner of western New Mexico.
More than two centuries before our
Saxon forefathers penetrated the des-

oneers, wandering through those lone
~ wilds, found a rock so noble and so
remarkable, even in country of Won
dcrful stone monuments, that they
called it lei Moro" CThe CASTLE.

tion--in nearly every instance the carly

Early Religious Training.

He pastoral letter by the hierarchy
1 of New Zealand, published on our
first page, shows the necessity of
an early religious training which, I'M
fortunately, is often neglected. To
plant carefully protect and develop
that religious instinct that is natural to
the human family should be the first
consideration of the parent and the
state. That it is a natural instinct is
| evident from the fact, that notwith-
standing all the notifications which the
human mind has had to undergo under
those thousands of influences which
make the human family as varied in
its details as it is one in its origin
there has always remained in the soul
of man the conviction that he must
render some homage to the divinity.
And wherever man, following his in
stinct of association, has endeavored
to form community with his fellow
man, the cornerstone of the new So
ciety has always been an altar. And as
often as the altar has been overthrown
in the storm of revolutions, the ruin
of the society based upon it has been
a necessary consequence and a fatal
punishment. Man has never succeed
ed, even if he attempted it, to exist So
cially without the element of religion.
This holds not only with regard to
civilized societies, but also to that low
rudimentary condition in which man
can hardly lay any other claim to his
dignity of man, but that of having
some sparks of the celestial fire of re-
iigion, by which he still holds commu-
nication with his Maker. We have his
torical evidence of this in all past ages.
But what has been always regarded as
a settled, is in our age called in ques-
ton; what has been approved by the
generations which preceded us is now
styled superstition, which must be
eliminated from the soul in order that
1t may taste, share and enjoy the scien-
tific discoveries of the new century.
Medical discoveries leave us in a guam
dairy as TO what is safe to eat or drink. |
Without proper direction man is not
secure in quenching his thirst from the
pure, limpid water that flows from the
spring until it is analyzed and found !
to contain no poisonous germs The |
greatest discovery of all is that with !
the fool they say there is no God"
Consequently, religion should be rele- |
gated from the heart

fore Higher Judge he has shown
some signs of sober reflections, and
now this reaction has ended with his
entrance into the Church of Rome. -
in France one of its most noted in
fidels NJ. Francois Coppee, has re-
turned to the faith of his childhood
I days. After abandoning Catholicity in
his youth he tried all other forms of
| religion that came within his reach. In
the Orient, when travelling, he studied
the various cults practiced there. but
none satisfied him. Voltaire was his
beau-ideal, and to his teachings he ad-
hered tacitly for fifty years. Recently
he published a book on Joan of Arc
and in this volume he tells of his con-
version.
There was a time when I should
have scornfully shrugged my shoulders
at the mention of miracles. Yet. if
there be an Almighty Being. the Max
er of all things, visible and invisible,
he must be superior TO all these laws.
which he himself impressed upon his
work; and. therefore, no miracle can
be impossible to him. Today 1 am no
longer arrogant enough to overlook
this obvious truth. A time came when
lay on what seemed likely to become
my deathbed: / looked into the grave:
and L felt the craving for immortality.
Then L sat myself to read the Gospels
once again. l read them as they
ought to be read-with a simple. omen
heart-and in every page, in every
word of that sublime story. 1 saw
truth shine. And consequently now
believe firmly in all the Gospel mila-
cles' chronicled as they are by the
evangelists. with a clearness and min
uteness of detail which afford the most
evident proof of truthfulness. Yes.
Jesus did give sight TO the blind and
life to the dead. AS he passed on his
brief journey through the world he
scattered these blessings by the way to
show that he was. indeed, the Son of
Man Thus did he found the religion
which during nineteen centuries has
given peace to all men of good will.
The faith in him which l have now
1 hope henceforward to keep
and to see it constantly and steadily
strengthened unto my life's end. An
influence which can work with such a |
result as this may be more easily un-
Ter estimated than over estimated
