Of duty is put on the goods of United
States competitors in the Cuban trade,
there will be an immediate and perma-
nent Increase Of business between the two
countries. If Cuba is allowed to sell
her sugar, tobacco, fruit and vegetables
in the States at a profit, she will spend
many millions Of dollars with us annually.
This Is certain"

Spouse to question concerning that
measure, sit guarantees that the health
of the country shall be maintained, and

products in the states, the development
Of the resources Of the island will go for

Diligent inquiry served to reinforce the
statements of the merchant and the mill
tary governor. The trade of the island Is
in no danger of being lost to the United
States if properly protected by congress,
and vigiIantly looked after by the men
who have the goods to sell. The Yankee
drummer will have to follow closely after
If he expects to be successful in meeting
the competition Of the smooth tongued
representatives of the great European
factories. The.-fact that Europe has
foothold in the trade here, as well as a
grip, on the business of the South Amer1-
can countries, is not due to any lnfe-,
riority of American manufacturers, but
rather to lack of vigilance and agrees
siveness on the part OF the business con-
Germs, generally speaking, of the United
States. The silk drummer from Italy,
the shoe representative from Spain, the
chinaware man from Germany, and the
men with samples of all kinds from Eng
land and France are here studying the
conditions and hustling for business
They are all authorized to make any con-
cessions for the peculiarities Of the trade.
For instance, the shoes worn in the trop-

taken into consideration this climatic

There is much being said about the
American invasion Of the trade of the
world, and the more it becomes clear that
this invasion is a reality and not idle
talk, the greater will be the effort of the
European powers to stem the tide of YAM
kee commercialism. The geographical
situation Of Cuba together with the close
relations that will be necessarily main
tanned between it and the United States
in future combine to make 1t a field
which should be distinctively American.

were SO we should all be Mebas or De-
Riezkes. But do pretend to say that
all voices can be improved and many in
tolerably harsh and thin voices can be made
passable.
Granting that the vocal organs are normal,
a good voice depends very largely upon cor
rect breath control Voice Is simply yo-
Called breath, and 1t cannot be firm, reson-
ant, flexible and musical unless the speaker
has an abundance of breath and has it under
perfect control
An organist knows that he cannot get a
clear buoyant note from his instrument with
out driving constant and vigorous blast OF
air across the reeds. When he stops pumping,
the notes become thin and aspirated Even
the novice notices this when he attempts
to play any wind instrument; and yet not
one student in hundred ever stops to re-
feet that his thin harsh voice may be due

to similar cause. And it is very difficult
to convince the average student that this
is SO even when it is clearly pointed out to
him. He thinks he breathes as nature in
tended he should. Nature is right hence
his breathing must be right Here he rests
his investigation. It never occurs to him that
nature is right in the beginning but gener-
ally manages to get wrong in the end unless
she has considerable coaching. Then he has
mortal antipathy toward studying things
or processes first hand. If he could learn
how to breathe correctly by studying some
book, he would soon accomplish the task
But he cannot for the simple reason that in
this matter every one is a law unto himself.
II man breathed colored atmosphere, it
would be possible to study the breathing
directly. 1t would then be possible to see
exactly when he inhaled and exhaled, whether
his breathing was deep or superficial, wheth-
er he took breath in sufficient quantity and
at the right time, and, in short, to observe
the entire process. But unfortunately for
this branch of study the breath Is in
visible.

in rendering 1t more attractive and habit
able. There are many faults to be cor
rected. In the first place the living room
or parlor and the dining room are small.
She wishes to increase the apparent size
OF these rooms. There Is a window in the
parlor which opens onto an air shaft and
consequently has no outlook, though a
subdued light filters through it. The din
ing-room mantel shelf is narrow and
common place. She has permission from
the landlord to put in new chimney
breast and mantel; also to do as she will
with the dreadful woodwork, as 1t is now
much defaced. The one accomplishment
that she acknowledges is tapestry paint

the soft luster that pertains to ebony and

first have your vanished surface cleaned
off with sandpaper, then a coat of black

as presented by S. Miller Kent last night
at the Montgomery Theatre.
A large audience saw the play and
laughed, applauded and cried at the points
where Clyde Fitch wanted them to laugh,
applaud and cry.
THE Cowboy and the Lady Is a play
for character study. The idea of sending
an Eastern college man. into the woolly
west is an old one among dramatists.
Clyde Fitch develops the idea completely,
however, and his play makes good.

vivacious but does his best acting in the

Second, not even to Kent, was Edward
Gillespie, a cowboy, Porthis-like in point
of size of body and revolver, but who is
a consistent actor. Gillespie works all of
the time and in popular favor outranks
the star. He is a young man despite his
6 feet inches of bone and sinew. He
acts as nature prompts him.
