Tone Talks.

No matter how excellent the slnr- ing voice may be as to quality and placement certain combination of words and intervals have tendency to bring ont undesirable qualities. The greatest care must always be eX- ercIsed to suppress these wrong ton- denclas However well trained q sing er may become there are times when either through carelessness or mo- mentary dulluess of the self-critical quality, faults of tone creep in. The best of artists realizing this, place themselves periodically under instruc- ton and criticism Carusn is said to have an instructor with him at all times.
 It is of course true that whatever we do, We do well or not we'll That which is in the slightest degree wrong will grow worse if We do not stop it in its neiplcncy For instance, the slightest over-ncccntuation of tho nasal quality, If persisted in will hey itahly corrupt the purcst voice and lt sooner or later becomes strident.
 That which is good grows better under the stimulus of right direction and endeavor, Tho teachers business is to be able 10 detect at onco tho slightest fault and then out of his experience seek for remedy to coun. teract the evil propensity

THE LATEST TOYS

Glass toys are tho best for babies. They are intended n rcplace the dear old painted articles that baby would put into his mouth and consequently run serious danger of lead poisoning. But to tho onlooker 1t would seem as thougn death hy glass were little pref crable to death from paint and the baby Is quite as likely 10 endaneer his life through breakage of his top as he fig by sucking it.
 Broadly, this Is true, but the glass of which plaNhings are made is so heavy that 1t takes @ regular Sandow of q young ono 10 Aold them. The ob- ieet of thickness is, of course, to les sen the danger of brcakage, but even the strongest can chip nj the edge, and a slplnter is capable of doing n good deal of damage.
 As a matter of fact only the babies of the rich are likely to be protected in this doubtful fashion, for the toys made of glass are by no means mex penslvc The healthy youngsters of ordinary families will have to thrive upon wood and paint, as did their for ] bears.

THE NEW BLUE

One of the new shades of blue which are calculated to carry all be- fore them this season in the world of dress, and which have no rival even among tho softer and more effective tones which according to the stand ard of yesterday should have come first in order of merit fig the clear, vivid tint, known as "Eugenie.' This is the fac-simile of the old fashioned blue which in the days of the second empire was worn so frequently by the beautiful bride of Napoleon ILL, and which extended It's popularity over q far longer period than is usually tho case where fashion is concerned.
 The only difference which obtains nowadays is that, Instead of being car riod out in the crisp rustllng silks which our grandmothers delighted in and of which the quality of stand ing alone" appeared to have been rat ed above all others. 1t Is reproduced In the softest crepe meteor, satin char mouse or cashmere de sole, which gives a very quaint effect to this vivid and somewhat crude tone.

 It is more effective to have patches of self colors with striking contrasts than a mixture of all shades and kinds that never give a brilliant snow at any one time and present the spec tacle of old seed pods, opened flowers and unopened buds fin the same bed. If your room is limited hunt up a Pow unocuupled corners and plant liberal- lv of the narcIssus poeticus, scilla sib- rIca. crocuses in separate c0lors and chIonodoxa, Tncy will all remain in good towering condition for many years, and when purchased in quantity are very cheap,
 For brillancy and ease of culture nothing exceeds solid mass of nar- cissus van sion, the double daffodil, as contrast to the brilliant yellow put out a good bed of scarlet tulips in close proximity Belle Alliance is the most brilliant color to recommend for this purpose.
 A word about hyaclnths. If your dealer has q supply of the miniature or Dutch Roman hyacinths in named sorts, plant these in preference to the unnamed, cheap kind. They cost no more, the spikes are more compact, the bulbs are smaller, thus allowing closer planting, and by planting nam ed varieties you are certain of each kind Towering in a mass, This last item with all bulbs we thing Q very necessary requisite.
 After the ground is frozen cover the beds with some light material such as evergreen branches or coarse man ure, which will insure an even tenn perature and prevent the sudden i thawing and freezing which is very l detrimental to all roots.
