quality is vitiated, and linguistic pur-
ity, musical meaning, and poetic inter
probation are married, that moment
the raison d'etre of the human voice
is ignored. If any man wants a
standard whereby he may judge how
large a tone may be, let him take the
words of the text as his guide. If he
can not pronounce the words as he
would pronounce them were he cul-
tivated actor, his tone is too big"
The two chief recommendations
which Mr.. Davies makes as the ideal
of the singer is to strive for mastery
over all types of human expression,
with verismilitude as the guiding
principle. This implies that voice
culture can not be regarded as some
thing apart from general culture; and
the singer who would satisfy the
highest demands of his profession
should not confine his study within
the bounds of the art to which he Is
primarily devoted. Before man
can acquire style-which is the man
and not the brute-he must read
great books, and move among men
and women who are accustomed to
think. Literary Digest.

GOT BOTH SKULL AND BONES
coIored Man Amply Proved He Had
Sense of Fear.

Sense of Fear.
Not many years ago Col. Prescott
Of Portland, Me-, had negro servant
who, he claimed, did not know what
fear was. One evening while the
colonel was with friends a bet was
made that number of those present
could scare the negro.
About IL o'clock on the night ap'
pointed for the attempt Col. Prescott
called his servant to his study,
and in a harsh voice ordered him to
go to tomb IL in a nearby cemetery
and bring him a skull.
With jolly "All right, massa," the
servant set off.
In the mean time the other parties
to the bet had secreted themselves
in the tomb and awaited the arrival
c6 the negro.
AS soon as the servant entered he
CROPPED around and picked up skull.
'Put that down; that's mine," came
another voice out of the darkness.
Nothing daunted, the negro laid 1t
down and picked up another.
Put that down; that's mine," came
another voice out of the darkness.
He laid that down, and exclaimed:
"Golly, somebody owns all these
skulls, but I'm going to have this one.
anyway" and, picking up another
skull, he ran out of the tomb.
The men in the tomb were pretty
much frightened themselves by this
time, and started after the negro, who.
without turning around. ran straight
Tor his masters house. Rushing isto
the study, he laid down the skull, ex.
claiming: "Massa, here's the skull;
the bones are coming after"

The Doq STAYED.

young business man of Harlem,
who didn't love dogs, surprised his
wife the other night by bringing home
a disreputable looking, half-starved
mongrel.
Now, it's all right" he told her.
"This dog is going to stay here, and

stances you won't object. About three
blocks away from the house this dog
deliberately stopped in front of me.
The beast looked as If he had not
eaten for days, never had a home and
had been kicked and cuffed by nearly

JEALOUS OF WoMEN's FINERY.

Generation of Men.

Generation of Men.
A lady writing in a daily paper at
lacks man for weakness which he
has hitherto considered the peculiar
affection of the other sex. He is
much given, according to this lady,
ito finding food for thought and tar
get for ridicule in contemplation OF
the doings Of that mysterious entity
which decides upon the changes in
feminine fashions" Whereas all the
time it is jealousy which prompts his
gibes The fact is that he would real
ly like to change his own fashions
as frequently, only he is not allowed
to do so by some unwritten law. And
this is pathos. He may try to conceal
the fact, but, says our authority, lever
he yearns in secret for the golden
days of masculine dress, when for
tunate man basled in the sunshine of
velvet and fine lace" 1t Is quite true.
The secret is out at last. We can
no longer keep up pretense of being
satisfied with life. Why should we go
about making the world hideous with
our black coats and corrugated trous-
ers? Why should we not look noble
and dashing? For over a quarter of
a century man has had no change of
costume, in a manner of speaking.
Always the same dull, monotonous
round of blacks and grays. Why does
not some hero walk down Bond street
in mauve frock coat or crimson
lounge suit? At present 1t is only
in our sportive moments, at golf or
| cricket, that we can escape from the
trammels. Why should we not wear
striped blazers in ordinary life?-Lon'

SINGERS AND THEIR BRAINS.


of the Future" is that singers as a
class are not overburdened with
brains. The writer in reply to this,
gives it as his own opinion that sing
ers have as much brains as other peo-
pie, only they do not use them. His
book contains an insstence on the
paramount need of intelligence in the
singer and will to rise above the
limitations and the vanities that an
indulgent and uncritical public have
fostered. The ambition of every
singer ought to be, he thinks, full
rounded development, mentally as
well as vocally, so as to enable him
to run the whole gamut of emotional
expression and not be content with
a limited METER; and he should not
content himself with the beguilement
of an audience with lovely and senu'
GUS tone when that power happens to
be within his natural gifts; nor over
awe with physical prowess to the det-
riment of linguistic purity. Such
faults, observable in many modern
singers, would not exist if singers,
cumulative of such men as Sims
two notable exceptions, used their
DTdluS " tlcCI d anu
cultured development. Upon the first
point of his Reproduction he says:
Singers classify themselves ac-
cording to supposed limitations; each
finds his meter and lives up to, and
on it. Any singer of ordinary ply.
sique and mind should be able to de-
lineate clearly any character. Such
and such role does not suit me- is

it is marked by Incidence and apa-
thy, for any role within singers
vocal range should suit an artist. To
some of us, at all events, it is clear
that varied and even universal ex-
preston is the only kind of work to
which any person of common sense
would care to devote his life.
'Belcanto (of which we read so
much) meant, and means, versatility
of tone; if man wished to be called
an arttt, his voice must become the
instrument of intelligent magma
tion.'
To those who say that the three
requisites of the singer are: L
Voice; 2-Voice; 3-Voice, he re-
torts "As well tell painter that his
chief matters are: Paint; Paint;
3-Paint" He says:
Certain gifted types of singers are
liable to sacrifice everything to ar
tificial and sensuous enjoyment Car

that species of vanity which makes
appeal to the ignorant side of human
