WAS WORTH TWO DOLLARS.
Traveller Reached Destination Long
Before Uncivil Autoist

story that is just coming to light
is that Of an interesting experience
which happened to a member Of the
governors party which visited James
town at the opening ol the exposi-
tion, says the Baltimore American.
One day this member became de-
tached from the party and could not
find them again. He hunted about
for awhile, and finally decided that
they had returned to Norfolk and
that he had better travel the same
road. II was impossible to get . We.
hicle, so he started out to walk. Aft
er he had gotten down the road lit
tie way he was overtaken by an au-
tomobile, and he hailed the driver
with the request TO give him a lift.
The latter, not having inbued sufi.
cient Of southern courtesy. refused.
So the pedestrian trudged along.
The next person to overtake him
was a sousthern negro with ram
shackle buggy" For a dollar he
joyfully agreed to carry the unfor-
tunate one to Norfolk But little
way up the road stood the red devil"
which had SO unchivalrously passed
the pedestrian, and under it was its
owner sprawled fiat on his back and
tinkering.
"Ill give you two dollars If you
get to Norfolk before the automobile, ,"

NURSES BY THE HOUR.
New Idea in New York -hat Is said
to Work Well.

Some Of the up-to-date trained
nurses OF New York have adopted
new idea. AS a general thing. all
trained nurses charge for their serv-
ices by the week. They are supposed
to remain in the home Of tEejr pa
tient and be on duty practically every
hour during their stay. This is ex-
hausting work, and frequently a
nurse is in a state Of collapse after a
week or two or constant attention to
a nervous patient,
Well-to-do families can afford TO
pay for the nurses services by the
week, but in a poorer family trained
nurse is luxury that makes deep
hole in the bread-winner's wages. In
order to relieve themselves Of the
strain on their vitality and to put
their services within the reach Of
limited pocketbooks, the modern
young nurse now charges by the
hour In some cases a patient needs
the attention Of nurse only an
hour or two daily For such atten-
ton one dollar an hour is charged
Where constant service is wanted the
regular weekly charge is made.

within the antarctic circle. The new
collection has been investigated, and
Eagle Clarke reports that it adds to
the list four species-the arctic tern,
the blue petrol, the short-winged
petrol, and Hutton's sooty albatross.
While the petrels and their relatives
are doubtless drawn so far south By
the extraordinary abundance of the
food near the ice barrier, it is thought
to be most remarkable that the arctic
tern, after breeding in the north,
should make the long journey to the
opposite pole.

aLNaINa EINE ART.
Correct Breathing al The Bottom Of
All Success, Says Melba.

] cannot too forclbly insist that the
mere possession Of a lovely voice is
only the basis Of vocal art. writes
Nine. Melba in the Century Magazine.
Nature occasionally startles one by the
prodigality Of her gifts, but no student
has any right to expect to sing by in
spiration any more than an athlete
may expect to win a race because he
is naturally feet Of foot.
Methods Of breathing, attack" and
the use Of the registers must all be
perfectly understood by the successful
singer, who should likewise be com
plete master Of all details relating to
the structure and use Of those parts
above the voice box and be convinced
Of the necessity Of a perfectly con
trolled chest expansion III the produe-
ton of tone.
For perfect singing correct breath
ing, strange as It may sound, is even
more essential than beautiful voice.
No matter how exquisite the vocal or
gan may be, its beauty cannot be ade-
quately demonstrated without proper
breath control. Here is one Of the old
Italian secrets which many singers Of
to-day wholly lack because they are
unwilling to give the necessary time
for the full development Of breathing
power and control Phrasing, tone,
resonance, expression, all depend upon
respiration, and in my opinion musi
