THE FOE OF GRAND OPERA
Throat and Nasal Affections Prevents
Development of American
Singers.

Catarrh has prevented America from
developing male grand opera singers.
Enrice Caruso, Arturo Vigna. and
Julian Storey have said so-and il
must be true, says the Chicago Trib
une.
America has developed no great
men singers" remarked Vigna, "be
cause the American man has not the
masque. He does not sing from his
face. He insists on singing from his
lungs-and that is because there is nc
school for singing"
What Is the masque?'" was asked
1T is this: The carrying power of
the voice Is not made up of the tones
thrown out from chest notes. 1t comes
from the high and strong and clear
tones which are given from the throat
and the mouth. American men are so
much given to catarrhal troubles that
they are generally barred from that
form of vocal expression. When they
do achieve 1t the sound Is apt to be
nasal and shrill."
What do you mean by saying that
we have no school of music in Amer
ica?"
why, America has the ragtime
school" said Mr.. Storey. "That is
purely American"
More American, do you think. than
coon songs or the old plantation melo-
dies?"
"As much as both classes of tunes
you speak of are in vogue, it does not
form school," said Mr.. Vigna. at

shell going round again, even if stopped
for several seconds.
If you make a strong brine of salt
and water you will find that a fresh
egg will float in it, says the People s
Home Journal. Now try it in pure
water and the egg will sink. Leave
the egg at the bottom of the vessel
containing pure water and get a glass
funnel that will reach to the same
bottom. Pour the brine through the
funnel and the pure water and the
egg Will rise together, floating on the
brine. When the vessel Is full YOU
VIII find the egg suspended in the mid
die, half in brine, half in the upper
layer of pure water. \
The next trick is with a hard-boiled
egg. Shell the egg and have ready a

neck little smaller than the egg.
Into the bottle throw a piece of burn

RESCUED FROM DIRE PERIL

by ife-Savers

Atlantic City, N. j., Jan. 16.-After
| spending "a hours in terrible anxiety
lest they be wrecked and swept into
the sea, the passengers and crew, GO
in all, of the Clyde line steamer Chero-
kee, bound from San Domingo for New
York, which went aground on the
Brigantine shoals, were rescued late
i'm the afternoon and landed at
the inlet here. Capt. Archibald, two
mates and the ships carpenter elected
to remain aboard the stranded steam
er. The rescue was accomplished by
Capt. Mark Caste and a picked crew
in the sloop yacht Alberta, and their
experience was almost as thrilling as
that of the stranded passengers. More
than a thousand persons greeted the
stOrm-tOSsed party as the slOOp sailed
into the inlet with the report that all
hands were safe. Not in years have
the inhabitants of Brigantine and
AbsecOn beaches been so wrought up
for the safety of a stranded ships COM

tempts made or perilOus chances
taken to reach a ship in the face of a
fierce northwest Atlantic storm as
were ventured in the rescue of the
Cherokee's party.

UNCONSCIOUS POISONING.
How It Often Happens from Coffee

Il had no idea,' writes a Duluth
man, that it was the coffee 1 had been
drinking all my life that was respon-
sible for the headaches which were
growing upon me, for the dyspepsia
that no medicines would relieve, and
for the acute nervousness which un-
fitted me not only for work but also
for the most ordinary social functions.
But at last the truth dawned upon
me and l forthwith babe the harmful
beverage a prompt farewell, ordered
in some Postum, and began to use it.
The good effects Of the new food
drink were apparent within a very
few days. My headaches grew less
frequent, and decreased in violence,
my stomach grew strong and able to
digest my food without distress Of
any kind, my nervousness has gone,
and / am able to enjoy life with my
neighbors and sleep soundly O'nights.
My physical strength and nerve pow
er have increased so much that I
can do double the work l used to do,
and feel no undue fatigue afterwards.
This improvement set in just as
soon as the old coffee poison had so
worked out Of my system as to allow
the food elements in the Postum to
get a holu TO build me up again. l
