Che UaIae Of Singing.

From the medical standpoint
singing is a most important exer-
else both by virtue of its influence
on the emotions, on the respiratory
movements and on the develop
mont Of the lungs. Nothing bet
ter shows the beneficial effect of
singing in developing the chest
and warding off the lung diseases
than the great pulmonary deyel-
opment and freedom from pulmo-
nary disease among professional
singers. Their general health,
moreover, is exceptionally good,
and this is probably in large
measure attributable to the mere
exercise of the calling. It is espe-
cially useful in defective chest
development and in chronic heart
disease. Provided the patient can
sing with comfort there is no con-
dition in which singing is con-
traindicated unless it be tend
ency to tuberculosis or aneurismal
h@moptysis. It is scarcely neces-
sary to say that the singer should
be so clad as to allow absolute
freedom of the chest movements,
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. -Ex.

u Dangerous Orator.

Probably no we'll meaning poet
was ever more taken by surprise
than was M. Pechantre, gentle
and mild hammered French DRAM
atist of the seventeenth century,
who was one day arrested for high
treason as he was peacefully eating
his dinner at village inn.
The landlord of the inn whore
he was in the habit of dining dis
covered on table piece of paper
on which were some unintelligible
phrases and below in a plain, bold
hand, '.Here I will kill the king"
The landlord consulted with the
chief of police. Clearly this clew
to conspiracy ought to be fol-
lowed up. The person who had
left the paper had already been re-
marked for his absent air and
cleaning eye. That man was
Pechantre.
The chief of police instructed
the landlord to send for him the
next time the conspirator came to
dinner.
When Pechantre was shown the
evidence of his guilt, he forgot the
awful charge againsthim and ex-
claimed:
"Well, I am glad to see that pa
per. | have looked everywhere
for il. It is part of a tragedy I
am writing. It's the climax Of
my best scene, whore Nero is to be
killed. It comes in here. Let me
read it to you.'' And he took q
thick manuscript from his pocket.
Monsieur, you may finish your
dinner and your tragedy in peace"
said the chief of police, and beat
q hasty retreat. Ex.

Wbat Old Hse Is Eikt.

The noted French advocate,
Maitre Labor, who defended Drey-
.fus and recently the Hnmberts, is
noted in Paris more for the polish
and neatness Of his speeches than
for his eloquence.
An American journalist who
heard Labori in court one day says
the advocates address was full of
grace, wit. tenderness. He quotes
passage relating to old age,
wherein Labor, with smile said:
'Old age we shall mono Of us
quite understand that until we
have attained to it-for no one of
us here is old. But the other
day | visited my uncle, very
aged man.

women are taken for declarations
of love, but when one is old ones
declarations of love are taken for
polite attentions" Elk.

The Seat Problem.

| Sit Down. is the title of recent
production from New York. The
song opens up with the following
lines: sStand up and let the lady
sit down, or trouble you'll surely
meet This suggests tramvays
and public conveyances of all
kinds.
As you ruminate behind your
morning paper, seated in a down
town car, you are only half con-
scious of the fact that someone is
holding desperately to the strap
over your head, and swaying light
Iy with the motion of the car; a
faint odor of violet or heliotrope
steals down to you; you are on
your feet in an instant, bowling
her to the proffered seat. She
sinks languidly into it, (they al
ways do it that way and here is
the crucial test. She either thanks
you or takes the benefit Of your
courtesy as one Of her preroga-
tives, stares out the window or
gazes nonchalantly before her. The
majority of people will sacrifice
their comfort to others if fitting
return of gratitude be shown The
kindly thank YOU or nod of ap-
probation cost little, and resolved
in the abstract is the only guerdon
after all.
But is this any reason why you
should have given up your seat?
Real courtesy is scarce commod-
| ity in this busting, work-a-day
world. Strictly speaking, you have
a right to your seat-you have
paid for it-consequently it lies
within your province to offer it to
whomsoever you choose. All,
there's the rub"-but do you
choose? As you board the car at
night, maybe recollection of that
host of shoppers creeps into your
mind: a large class of women, who
in great cities, shop to kill time
when they ought to be employed
at something would suggest the
washtub as an alternative. Time
and again these veterans launch
their forces at the bargain, dress
or silk, counters, and after the
clerk has pulled down the last bolt
with the expectation of a sale, de-
murely inform him they, ''only
want sample
ALI this sweeps through your
mind. You are tired, tagged out
from the days business, and here
are half score of these veterans,
as fresh, rosy and immaculate as
tho they had but turned from the
dressing table. Well, if you want
to, you can. I don't. I've gotten
over it. My reformation took
place when a lady gave me stare
because I failed to remove my hat
in an elevator. As Sinbad might |
say, that damned my tiller." II
thought the fair feline sex had a
suficiency Of prerogatives, and if |
I proved hereto in the nom observ-
ance Of one or two Of them, it would
certainly rebound to mine own
comfort; while I had the satisfac-
ton of knowing that behind me
was an army who hadn't gotten
over it.
Still there is a dividing point
q class to whom all this does not
apply. It is to the young, the
very old, the MANNED and the Grip
pied that the seat should invarla-
bly, be given, and he who does so
proves doubly his right to the ap-
pellation gentleman in that he
has resigned his own comfort and
has shown tact, chivalrous dis
in the instant recogni-
lion Of infrmity or helplessness.

All 1 needed was pair of ear

AS it was, [ looked like some little
messenger boy defending his home.
Besides, I'm bowl legged and unless
| I shouldered the gun it would

loaded the gun and told me to be

for had practiced with it until it
would almost load itself.
! Did you ever carry a gun? 1
mean on your shoulder? The first
ten minutes you feel very soldier
~ and you are conscious of the adj
hiring looks of the populace. At
the end of a half hour you are
softly swearing to yourself. Then
some cheerful idiot in the party
asks, "Getting tired?'' Nope"
you say and all the time you are
wishing you we're home, especially
if it is cold weather.
When we left the train at
Podunk, just this side ofthe Hoop
pole County line, and struck off
for the jungle it commenced to
snow. I was feeling very fine, but
when we had trudged along that
country road for nearly an hour I
wished for my own ireside. Yer
lily, yes! just when I was about
to give up and throw the gun in
some gully, we left the road and
took to the tall timber. There
were four of us. Bill Diggs, Mr..
Diggs' brother, the father-in- law
and Little Willie, the dead shot-of
the Rio Grande. Those three fell
lows had the longest legs! They
could cover ground like CRATES.
Little Willie became very, very
tired and told them SO, but they
only laughed and said, "hustle
up" How any 9O-pound, short,
bow-legged man with 75-pound
cannon on his shoulder can "hus-
tie up in the rough woods is be-
yond me! And I told them so.
They laughed again. Bill Diggs
said 1 should have brought a truck
along. I told him if he didn't stop
laughing and poking fun at me I'd
lessen the weight of the gun by
installing him for deer-as
friends SO often do-(see daily
papers for further particulars }.
We tramped along awhile and
then the father-in-law said it was
about time we saw something to |
shoot at. Mr.. Diggs' brother said
he heard something rustic in the
woods and we stopped dead still.
In 9 moment we heard the same
sound. Mr.. Diggs' brother went
to Investigate and motioned for
us to follow. We discovered big
tracks which Bill Diggs pro-
nounced the tracks of a bear. The
said he believedthey
were the prints of q big dog. Mr..
Diggs' brother was of the opinion
that the tracks were those of a
barefooted man, tho how he recon-
ciled bare feet with zero weather
is past finding out. As for me,
my superior knowledge of wood
craft told me they were the tracks
of some wild animal; probably a
panther, or a moose, or very
large rabbit, The light fall Of
snow made good surface to track
on, and we trailed those
tracks for over an hour. I also
trailed' my gun in the snow and
made new tracks in our rear for

that when he plowed, his one leg
would be two feet further down the
hill, and when he would go to
town and strike the level streets
he'd lean 80 far over he'd almost
fall. Sort of growed to the lean
ing habit. And SO he sold the
farm to man with a wooden leg
who when he plowed would just
leave the wooden leg at home.
The new man wasn't as successful
as my uncle, tho, for he had to
quit farming"
"Why?' we asked.
Z "Oh, the land was so poor. In
some places you couldn't even
raise a disturbance, let alone
crops
Then came Bill Diggs with his
story:
Talking about FARMS said he,
''my father had farm once and
was fairly successful. It was in
Kansas. He raised corn. You
never saw corn grow so high-had
to go up on ladders to cut it. In
some places the corn was SO high
the sun couldn't rise in the MORN
ing, but had to back down and
come through the potato field"
] Something like a farmI used to
own,' said the hitherto quiet Mr..
Diggs' brother.
"Tell us about it,
"Well, she was daisy! The first
man that owned it made big money
by raising wheat. He sold the
farm to another man. He raised
corn and was very successful, too.
I heard about the farm SO I bought
it, but I wasn't so successful"
''What did you raiser" we asked.
Il raised checks" said Mr..
Diggs' brother.
