Quite a holly contested argument

singine For Nothinr l. Year.

Writing of the trials and tribulations of American singers who go to Europe to gain recognition, Mildred Aldrich in the Theater Magazine says:
 ''To most singers who have sought recognition abroad there Is but one drawback to the European career. It is not love of home that lures them back to the United States. It is money. It looks fine to put de ropera' or de POpera Comique' on ones visiting card, as is the habit in Europe, but there is another side to it. Many Q debutante has sung at the Opera Go mique for nothing. some have paid, and some have had the magnificent salary of POO francs month Gust shy of $4O) One of the most prominent debutantes at the opera saw 5000 francs paid over for her debut, and one woman who was there two years as a regular mem per of the troupe earned 6,O00 francs 8 year ($25 a week., and she was con- sidered favored. Cities like Bordeaux often get debutantes at 300 francs (S60 a month, and in theaters of that sort singers provide their own cos tunes, so it is small wonder that, hay. ing got ones education, one wants to earn money in the United States"

How to Use Brains.

A head man in a manufactory was watching a drayman tugging at a heavy case one day. The drayman's face was red, and the muscles of his neck were bulging. The overseer, says a writer in the Baltimore Sun, thought it was the right moment to offer prac- tical assistance.
 Wait a minute there," he said. "Let me show you how easy it is when you use a little brain with your muscle. '" And he grabbed hook, stuck 1t into the case, gave yank and went sprawl ing into the gutter under the dray. He got up. looked at the hook and said. "Confound it, the handle comes off!'
 "Yes, sir" said the drayman respect fully. My brain told me that, and didn't use it."

A Lucky Circumstance.

In the house of commons no incident Is greeted with more hearty laughter than that of a member who, after an eloquent oration, plumps down on his silk hat on the bench behind him. A young member who had just made his maiden speech sat upon his new silk hat. There were roars of laughter. An Irish member immediately arose and gravely said, MT. Speaker, per init me to congratulate the honorable gentleman upon the happy circum- stance that when he sat on his hat his head was not in itp This remark up- set the dignity of the house, and the speaker called "Order, order" amid roarS of laughter.

He Was In Such a Hurry.

A man who has resided in Cairo told this tale as an Illustration of the dil atory ways of Arabian trades people:
 "A certain gentleman ordered 8 swing to be erected in his garden for the use of his little boy, aged six. He waited and waited, but the swing nev, CT arrived. In due course of time that boy grew up to mans estate and be came himself the father of little boy, When his son was six years old be remembered how his own father had ordered a swing to be made for him. So he called on the tradesman, who lived at his gate, and asked him to send up the swing that had been order ed twenty years before. The man agreed to do so. The little boy be- coming impatient after three weeks. his father called again and remOn. strated with the Arabian as to his dil- atorinesS. The indignant tradesman replied that he could not really under. take to serve any one who was in such a fearful hurry.''

Safe For a Short Distance.

A young man who is blessed with a Scotch kinsman need never fear that he will be allowed to hold too high an opinion of himself.
 "What Co you think of my project to study law?" asked young Witherby of his great-uncle, Robert Donaldson, a person whom he was desirous to pro pitiate.
 ''I should call it a vera harmless amusement" said MT. Donaldson dry ly after a comprehensive survey of the young mans fatuous face and gay attire, ''if not carried too far"

Coughing.

''There is nothing so irritable to a cough as a cough" Constant coughing Is precisely like scratching a wound on the outside of the body. So long as it is continued the wound will not heal. Let a person when tempted to cough draw a long breath and hold it until it warns and soothes every air cell, and benefit will soon be received from this process. The explanation simply is that the nitrogen which is thus refined acts as an anodyne to the mucous mem brane, allaying the desire to cough and giving the throat and lungs a chance to heal.

Niagara Oufdone.

A Scotchman was taken by an Amer ican friend to visit Niagara falls. Al, ready his feelings as patriot had been a little frosted by the persistent blow ing of his conductor on the greatness of things American. Did you ever behold anything so wonderful as that?' asked the guide. "Aye. man, at Pee bles I saw a peacock wi wudder leg" was the unexpected reply.

Honesty.

Let honesty be as the breath of thy soul and never forget to have penny when all thy expenses are enumerated and paid; then shall thou reach the point of happiness, and independence shall be thy shield and buckler, thy helmet and crown; then shall thy soul walk upright, nor stoop to the silken wretch because he hath riches, nor pocket an abuse because the hand which offers it wears a ring set with iamonds.-Franklin.

An Improbable Story.

Diogenes, lantern in hand, entered the village drug store.

New York, June 16.-1n these days OF

may not be amiss to call the attention

more swift and more terrible overtakes
these culprits than that administered by

Of the press as an engine of retribution.
