The Time to Learn SInuinq.

Madame Mathilde Marchesi, the
eminent vocal teacher, writes in the
Ladies' Home Journal:
For young girls all vocal training
before they reach the 18th or 18th
year Of age (and even then with great
caution) is a sin, and may spoil many
good voices before their normal de-
velopment. Young girls designed for
a vocal coreer, instead Of singing,
ought to employ their time in learn
ing music, piano and languages, all
indispensable nowadays for good
singers to complete their education.
Flat singing proceeds, in general, from
the fatigue Of the larnyx."

Art In Baltimore,

Such exhibitions are disagreeable to
persons of refinement and demoraliz-
ing to children. A child whose father
wears whiske"s suffers lifelong hand
leap. 1t is brought up in entire. ig-
norance of those little niceties and del.
icacies OF manner which make dining
The most elegant Of the arts. 1t lives
and dies without once sensing the ro-
nance and poetry which may be ex-
hibited In the eating Of soup In its
young and irnpressionable mind such
delicious viands as custard pie, sauer-
kraut and soft-boiled eggs are asso-
ciated with horrible and appalling
thoughts. It's whole life is desolated
and laid waste.-'rhe Cultured Scum

the soil and allowed to settle during
the winter. This lasts for four years
ana prevents evaporation Of moisture.
