SAVING YOUTHFUL VOICES.
Where so many boy choirs are in exist
ence as are to be found in greater New
York here Is some valuable instruction
given by the same eminent authority re-
garding the change in the voices of chill
dren, which strongly recommend to those
interested in the preservation of the voice
Of the little singers through that danger
Gus period.
NJ. Lavignac says:
IF we are dealing with boy: to watch
for the advance sign of the change, such
as noarseness, etc., and Immediately, with
out days delay. suppress deliberately all
vocal exercises, song and solfeggio. and this
radically, without a single infraction, and
forbid him to join in even noisy games in
which there is too loud shouting; to treat
him, in fact. as one would do If he had
time that the change lasts, which is sew
eral years, to insist upon work at the
piano, theory, dictation, without forgetting
studies outside of music, that are as USE
full to a singer as his special studies-all
this must never be lost sight of.
IF we are dealing with girl, we must
not wait till the change asserts itself, be-
cause we know that it will not make itself
felt; but consider ii begun at the age
of thirteen, in which we shall seldom be
mistaken: We must, therefore, interrupt
singing lessons, properly so called, be-
cause they always occasion little fatigue
to the larynx; but we may with impunity
continue a moderate exercise of solfeggio,
in low tones, and limited to those notes
that are produced without any effort.
Apart from this, proceed with boys
avoid all tempestuous vocal outbursts, take
care of the larynx and be more than usual
ly careful to avoid everything that might
n0 cold or rtrrinG III or
neglect the study of the piano. This can
not be too often repeated.

most pronounced characteristic was one
which is generally associated with ignor-

sion. "She was superstitious to absurd
degree. She never allowed her actors to
take hold of a chair with the right hand.
To study a part on Sunday was a crime.
To carry an umbrella with hook handle
meant immediate discharge to the onender.
The sight of a bottle of red ink was
enough to frighten her for a week. She
said the use of Ii was almost certain to

before, occasioned by the stupidity OF the
unfortunate young man who would never

dream she had had. in which some great

how he had fallen dead at her feet, his

oozed, resting her lap.
Two years after this occurrence Miss
Keene was playing at Ford's Theater,
Washington. In the third act of the play
a sharp shot was heard in the stage box,
from which a man leaped brandishing a
smoking weapon and shouting: Sic semper

Stuart Robson was a great admirer as
we'll as a personal friend OF the Booths
and no man regretted the crime of John
Wilkes Booth more than did the actor
He often spoke Of the assassination OF
Lincoln and its effect upon Edwin Booth
and could talk entertainingly for hours
concerning the theatrical situation and the
experiences of the players during wal
times. He considered, he often said. that
John Wilkes Booth was the handsomest
man he ever knew.
In 1S62-63 Robson was a member of the
company supporting Laura Keene, and one
of the interesting stories he told in that
connection was of a prophetic dream she
related to her company concerning the
death of a great man and her connection
with it-a vision of which Robson was sup
posed to have been the cause.

TALKED WITH PRESIDENT.
Was Encouraged to Make a Demand
for Long Trousers.
Chicago Tribune.

chicago IrlDune.
The President Of the United States thinks
that Niles Folsom, a fourteen-year-old San
ia Monica (Cal.) boy, ought to have long
trousers. The boy thinks that this is about
the most sensible proclamation ever issued
by a chief magistrate, and he is trying to
persuade his mother to view the matter in
the same light and act accordingly.
Niles Folsom is a son of Mrs. NJ. Folsom,
of Santa Monica. His father was a cousin
of Mrs. Grover Cleveland. He is a student
at ST. Vincent's Academy, at Santa Monica,
having won scholarship in that institution
by his enterprise in newspaper contest. He
was formerly student in the Academy of
the Holy Name, of Santa Monica, and it
was through the desire of Sister Matilda of
that institution to send note of greeting
to President Roosevelt, whom she had met
while nursing in Cuba, that young Folsom
met the President and got his Endorsement
of long trousers, Sister Matilda selecting
the boy as her messenger.
Niles went to the hotel in Los Angeles at
which the President was stopping, got by a
half dozen guards, found President Roose-
Welt in of the parlors. walked up and in
troduced himself. ignoring a secret service
man who took hold of his arm, and pre-

President. How old are your"

Niles.
''Ah," said the President. did you have
much trouble getting to see me?"
"Why-now-yes, SIR said Niles, his
tongue struggling against the magnificent
Importance of things.
"Ah," said the President. "You are four
teen and a pretty big boy for your years.
How would you like to wear long trousers?''
"O-why-yes, sir; you bet-excuse me,
Mr.. Roosevelt mean President Roosevelt.
II think that would be-greatv'
so do l." said the President heartily.
$50 do I! And now, I'd like to stop and
visit with you, but some of these gentlemen
here want me to talk with them, and
guess that's what I'm going to do. But.
lad, do me the honor of presenting my COM
piments to your mother, and you may say
to her for me that, with her permission,
I'll back you UP on the long trouser scheme.

There is bad time ahead for the board
ing houses If the New York Woman's Hotel
prospers and multiplies as 1t gives promise
of doing. The lone woman, stranded by
circumstance or separated from her home
by the needs Of her work. has always been
the chief standby of the landlady, a steady
source of supply both for the second-fioor
front and fOurth-fioor back. Perhaps the
lone woman has not yet found 1t perfectly
satisfactory, but formerly no one considered
her side of IL. Then the experiment of a
hotel for women was tried, and straightway
they came pouring into 1t, from every COR
ner of the city, like rabbits from hidden
warrens, until there was not room for one
follow. But meanwhile, what of the board
ing house. that unfailing resource of the
woman who can do nothing else? With
bachelor quarters for women as we'll as
men, and apartment houses on every corner
for married couples, the only beings not
provided for will be the children. Perhaps
the boarding houses future existence will
be form of nursery.

Most business desks are very common
place affairs. yet even in this utilitarian
age there are some on the market with
romantic compartments. just like those
described in old-fashioned novels.

ssWomen. you know. go in for that sort OF
thing more than men. They like 10 manu-
facture a mystery whether there is any
need for IL OF not. and where can they find
a better aid TO their imagination than In

napers he wants 10 hide he puts them In

Men in Mexico do some things which
would look rather queer here. For ex-
ample. they tip hats whenever they
see each other; they shake hands when
ever they meet and part; they do not
consider 1t bad form TO stand in line
ON the sidewalks and stare mt the la
dies; they wear their hats in a theater
they put them on between the acts and
stand up to look at the audience and
after a separation they embrace and
pat each other on the back if they hap
pen to be intimate friends
They never chew tobacco, but smoke
everywhere, even in some theaters.
They never carry bundles in the street,
but each is attended by servant, who
carries even the smallest package.
They are wonderfully courteous to
each other, and two friends viii spend

and cross often, so that the relative
positions are changed, a new discussion
as to which shall occupy the inside

The Extinct ouagga.

The quagga, the half cousin to the
wild ass, has vanished from Africa
and only exists as imperfect specimens
in the European Museums
The quagga exists as name still in
South Africa. for the name has been
wrongly applied to Burehell's zebra,
but tie true quagga, which took its
name from its cry "quacha," has been
extinct since 1872, when the last of
his or, rather of Ter race for this
quagga was a female. died in the Lon
don Geological society's menagerie.
lis extinction in South Africa was
due solely to the zeal with which the
Dutch farmers hunted 1t for its hide,
and it is saddening reflection that
thousands of Kaflirs used to be fed on
1t by their Bocr masters.
The idiotic wastefulness of thus ex-
terminating species becomes the
more marked in view of the fact that
the quagga. which was midway be-
tween a zebra and a wild ass. could
be broken to harness and was the
brarest as well as the hardest Of ami
mails. Some Boer farmers used TO
keep tame quaggas on their farms to
Craze with horses in order to protect
them from beasts of prey.

CORN BREAD.
Fond RecoIlections of the Days oi
the Hoecnke and FInpjacks.

roma Heco1IeettOns OF the Days Of
the Hoecnke and FIanjael1s.
With good meal and cook following
the lessons and traditions of the old
regime delicious bread may be baked
of Indian meal But we have grave
doubts whether it can be baked as well
in stove as In an open fireplace but,
alas, of the latter only few remain.
The asheake of course, must have
ashes. They are Indispensable. AS
well try TO produce mint julep with
out mint. on the other hand, "fiap-
jacks" need only well creased frying
pan, but skill is required to turn them.
That is done by pitching them out of
the pan into the air and making them
come down dap on the other side. The
corn pone may be cooked In stove or
range.
The hoecake was originally cooked
on a hoe in the fields and in the negro
cabin. 4 skillet will do well enough
for it, but must be well creased at the
bottom. So. too. with respect TO egg
or batter bread AS for corn mullins,
the appliances of range are admira-
bly, adapted 10 them.
We wish some millionaire would fit
up a Virginia country home in ante
bellum style and among other things
have in 1t big open fireplace. a black
cook in a Bingham dress, with a red
bandanna on her head, and also have
a half acre mint bed. an icehouse and
an old time garden filed with raspber-
ries and gooseberrles, thyme, sage. cur
rants and all the ordinary table vege-
tables.
When one of those old time homes
and gardens and kitchens is restored
and the host and hostess have entered
into possession, we desire to be listed
as a frequent guest, with a reserved
seat in the chimney corner Then all
we shall want viii be the zest. the ap-
petite, the yoraciousness we possessed
when we could eat eighteen rolls and
six eggs for breakfast and consume a
whole watermelon between meals. But,
alas. 1t would be easier 10 restore old
walls and open fireplaces than to bring
back the digestion and storage capacity
of youth that's gone, Of a time that's
past and never can return.-Richmond

Evolution of Ice Cream.

That most deleetable and toothsome
of CONNECTIONS known as ice cream
dates its origin to a period less than
three centuries distant. 1t was not,
when first placed before the consumer,
the delicious compound it now is. 1t
has been brought 10 its present state
of perfection by a gradual process of
evolution from the original idea. In the
beginning of the seventeenth century
iced fruits and cups of ice first appear
ed at banquets. Like many other good
things for the table. Ice cream claims
Paris for its birthplace, and yet 1t was
not a Frenchman but an Italian named
Precope Couteaux who first thought out
the idea of icing lemonades and liquors.
From this was gradually evolved over
100 years later ice cream, or iced but
ter, as it was then called, from its re-
semblance TO that article of food
While all civilized nations serve ices
In great variety. we are apt 10 think
of Ice cream as an essentially American
dish, probably because frozen desserts
of all kinds are more generally used In
this country than In any other Ice
cream first made Its appearance In
America in Philadelphia at the end Of
eighteenth century. 1t was then con-
sidered a great luxury, and consequent
ly was rarely seen except on state oeca-
sions. 1t was not within the reach Of
ordinary mortals until 1900, when an
italian eonfectloner established an ice
cream house, as 1t was then called, at
Germantown, a suburb of Philadelphia.

1.-THE last age of love in a mans life
is the dotage." says Dorothy Dix in
Ainslee's. "This is peculiar to wealthy
old men. and its most pronounced
symptom is a mania for presenting
diamonds and opening bottles for
chorus girls, who call him papa. At
other times in a mans life he has some
slight misgivings about love being al
ways conducted on a reciprocal basis,
but when he reaches this age he throws
fears to the winds He knows he is
loved for himself alone. The man at
twenty-five doubts his power to win a
woman's heart. The man of seventy
five Is coeksure that he is chalmer

POULTRY POINTERS.

Never give poultry water in the morn
Ing before feeding.
All the stimulants breeding fowls
need is wholesome food and drink in
proper quantities.
To fatten the cockerels rapidly. con-
fine them In close quarters and feed
cornmeal cooked In milk.
Short legged fowls fatten quickly.
Long legs are hard to fatten. Those
first hatched fatten quickest in a
brood.
Fowls seldom tire of milk. They
may eat too much grain or meat, but
milk in any form is palatable and
healthy.
The roosting poles should be on a
level with each other. This will pre-
vent the fowls all trying TO roost on
the top perch.
A fowl or animal In which an excel
lence Is constitutional is apt to trans
NIT all this excellence in all the de-
veloped power and beauty to its prog
eny.
In selecting for breeding the pullet
should be at least n year younger than
the cock. This will conduce to the
strength and good health OF the off,
spring.
