Strenuous Treatment for Throat.

From the Bohemian for April
 When Mile. Arta, the dramatic soprano of the Manhattan Opera House. first went to Paris to study music, she could not speak French. One day, being troubled by throat affection, she complained to her teacher. who advised her to see a specialist, giving her a name and ad- dress.
 The specialist had his office in a large building where were many other doctors and dentists Unable to read the French signs upon the doors, Mile. Arta sought simply for the name of the physician, whose card she held fin her hand. At last she found it-the name. She was re- ceived by a gentleman who bore all the earmarks of the medical fraternity and at once she felt reassured.
 Pointing to her throat she tried to in dieate what the trouble was. With a knowing nod, the doctor, who seemed very quick to grasp the situation, escorted her to chair. and inclining the chair to an acute angle he left the room. Pres ently he returned, gently urged her mouth open as if to gain a good view of her throat and began @ critical examination. The next thing Mile Arta realized was that pair of forceps were being brand ished dangerously near her mouth.
 She tried to explain realizing suddenly that she was Tn the nanuS or a uentlSt, but he held her firmly in the manner of one believing that the sooner an opera ton Is over the better. and that explana- tions are much more satisfactory after a thing Is done with. She struggled up from his grasp as well as she could, he trying to tell her that he would be very gentle and that he would not hurt. she endeavoring to expostulate in guttural grunts that it was her throat an1 not her teeth which needed attention. Still he did not understand and insisted upon ex- tracting the tooth. It was only upon the timely arrival of an English-spealSng pa tient that matters were cleared up, the dentist discovering that the singer wished treatment for her throat and not for her teeth, and singer discovering that both dentist and throat specialist had the same name Yet while she gloried and trem- bled at her escape, the dentist followed her to the door. protesting that she should at any rate have the tooth ex- tracted.

VIII tho Iron Last?

During the year 1905. according to leading German authority" says Tho Technical World Magazine. "the world tons. of which the United States pro- duced 2,9923S tons. No complete statistics for 1906 are as yet available, but during that year the United States increased It's output to very considerable extent and in other countries the increase of pro- duction was not insignificant. The great iron producing nations, in their relative rank, are: The United States, Germany. England and France. Canada, though at present only tenth on the list, is rapidly coming forward and doubled her output of 1904 in 1905
 ''The worlds total visible supply of iron. according to noted Swedish ex- pert, is ten billion tons, although 1t Is believed by some authorities that this estimate is somewhat low, the assertion being made that there are four billion tons in unlocated mines in the United States. Even assuming, however, that there are in- existence fifteen billion tons of iron, 1t is obvious that the supply will be totally exhausted if the production increases year by year as 1t has in the past within a comparatively short time. When asked what the world will do when this comes about, most engineers answer 'economize the iron, using it only for engines aod other things absolutely necessary, and use concrete for bridges. buildings, and a thousand other thir for which iron Is now used-"

 To reduce your flesh, increase your troubles.
 To develop bust get on the wrong side of the market.
 To remove freckles. pry them gently out with a nut-pick. Should this fail, try blasting.
 Brilliancy may be imparted to the complexion by powdering with diamond dust.
 Hair or the lips may sometimes be avoided by requiring the young man to shave before calling.
 There are Various ways of removing blacxheads, in the south lynching is much in vogue.
 Nails which do not yield readily to man. icure may be driven in with hammer.
 For developing the grace and beauty of the fingers nothing Is equal to piano exercises. provided police protection be available.
 When "crow s-feet'' will not yield to massage, fill them suddenly with cement and smooth quickly with trowel.
 Failing hair may be avoided by step- ping nimbly aside whenever you see 1t coming your way.
 The "droopng lash." so much affected Dy some, may be encouraged by sitting up late O nights.

as technique has ventured as far as 1t dare. Witness the astounding arrange ments made by the ingenious Godowsky, the grating of two Chopin studies. both hands autonomous, racing at full speed The thing Is monstrous-yet effective But that way musical madness lies.
 The Janko keyboard, sort of ivory to- began slide, permitted the performance of incredible difficulties; glissandos in chromatic tenths! But who, in the name of Appollo cares to hear chromatic tentas sliding pell-mell down hill! Music is music, and @ man or woman must make 1t, not an instrument alone.
 The tendency now toward the fabrica- ton of a more sensitive. vibrating sound- in- board. Quality. not brutal quantity, is the desideratum. This. with the more responsive and elastic keyboard action of tho day, which permits all manner of finger nuance. will tell upon the future of tn, pianoforte. Machine music has usurped our virtuosity. But 1t can never reign in the stead of the human artist. And therefore we now demand more of the spiritual and less of the technical from our pianists. Music is the gainer thereby, and the old-time cacophonous concerto for pianoforte and orchestra will, we hope, be relegated to the limbo of things inutile. The pianoforte was orig inally an intimate instrument. and 1t will surely go back, though glorified by expe- rience, to its first. dignif1ed estate.
