Tone Talks.

It is extremely important for singer to learn how to direct or place his tones. The quality and attractive ness of tone depends to a great extent OF this Besides, a clear idea of where to place tone enables the or gans to assume a correct position thus avoiding awkward and unnatural formations which in time arc apt to harm the voice, When a student practices in the medium register he should direct his tone against the front of the hard palate. Don't mis- construct thls as meaning that the tone Is made at this point It Is not. Tone is made at the vocal cords Re- member you cannot place a tone at any point as you can place your fin- ger. What you must do is 10 think tho placing of your tone, The mouth tongue and throat nyoluntarily take a correct position when you do this Tones that are placed too far for ward take on q dlsagrceable teethy quality TO avoid this they should he directed just back of the teeth. Tones that sound throaty are placed too far back in the mouth, This brings about too great contraction of the soft palate which has h'ndering n- fuence upon the action of the laryn- gial muscles.
 The lips play an exceedingly im- portant part in forming tones because the quality is largely made or marred by the way in which they are held. No specific rule can be given here.
 In voice culture probably to q greater extent than in any other de- partment of learning, rules, based up- on scientific facts, must be modified to meet the requirement. of individual cases There must never be any feel ing of rlgidity in the action of the lips Let them move loosely and with the same flexible tension with which they move in speaking The difference lies in the sustalnment oi the positions which the lips take.

Where Rain Is a Novelty.

The Chilean provinces OF Atacama,
Tarapaca and Tocna are in the rain
less region, or desert country west Of
the Andes, and are entirely devoid of
vegetation. The winds in all of this
region are from the east and in pass
ing over the elevated perpetual SHOWS
of the Andes are stripped of their
moisture and arrive on the coast per-
fectly dry. The last rain, a slight
shower which fell in A~ntofagasta, in
Atacama province, was the first rain
which had fallen in sixteen years. The
last rain which fell in Iquique, in Ia
rapaca province, was the first in twen-
ty-four years. With both of these show
ers a notable phenomenon occurred.
The bare hills back of these cities as
sumed Il green tint from a little plant
which sprang up almost in a night.
The query is, From where did this
plant come? The whole of the coast
presents a most dismal and discourage
ing appearance from the sea, but the
climate is healthy, being especially
adapted to pulmonary and throat trou-
bles from it's extreme dryness and
freedom from germs. The heat is mod
lied by a local sea breeze, and the sea
bathing is most invigorating, as the
water Is cold.

1t is beginning to be the belief Of
Europe that at last Russia has a
prime minister whom everybody
trusts. Under the circumstances that
is a great good fortune for that rather
unfortunate country. Three years ago
the most dangerous symptom of the
Russian situation was that nobody
seemed to be able to trust ANYBODY.
Any Russian in authority soon dem
onstrated that he was unworthy of the
confidence of his fellows. Today NJ.
Stolypin is admitted universally to be
a brave man and a gentleman. Even
the ~reactionaries find it difficult to say
worse OF him than that he is "a
man conscientiously devoted to false
ideals" and that isn't very terrible.
NJ. Stolypin commands the confidence
Of the car, the support of the douma
and the respect and admiration of the
entire cabinet. He is a man without
nerves, endowed with q fine presence
and with great simplicity of manner

and hurried toward the porch. He
tried the chapel door. 1t was fast. He
had a key to this in his pocket. He in
serted it with caution, opened the door
noiselessly and went in. the street
preacher at his heels.
What the bishop saw was photo
graphed instantaneously on his mind
in fiery, indelible colors. 1t ate into his
soul like hot iron into %quivering flesh,
soaring itself upon his memory. The
evangelist of the pave had been horri-
fed, shocked to word and action; the
bishop was frozen, in~articulate, i'm
paled. For any evil in Hugh Stires he
was prepared-since the forgery. But
Hugh's companion now was the man
whom he himself had ordained and
anointed by the laying On of hands
with the chrism of his holy ministry.
An irrepressible exclamation burst
from his lips.
With the sound both men at the ia
Bile started to their feet. Hugh, with
a single glance behind him, uttering a
| wild laugh, leaped the railing, dashed
through the study and vanished into
the night. Harry, as though suddenly
turned to stone, stood staring at the
accusatory figure, with the eager form
of the evangelist behind it.
To the bishop it seemed the attitude
of guilt detected.
What was Harry Sanderson thinking
as under that speechless regard he
mechanically gathered the scattered
cards and lifted the little cross and the
unopened bag of double eagles from
the table? Where was the odd excite
ment, the strange eXaltation, that had
possessed him? The spindles in his
brain had stilled, and an algid calm
had succeeded as abrupt as the quiet,
deadly assurance With which his mind
now saw the pit into which his own
feet had led him.
He blew out the candle, replaced it
carefully in its altar bracket, made
shift to wipe the wax from the table
and slowly. half blindly and without a
word, went into the study.
The bishop came forward, drew the
key from the inside of the study door.
closed it and locked it from the chapel
side. Harry did not turn. but he was
actually conscious of every sound.
He heard the door shut sharply, the
harsh CRATE of the key in the lock, and
the sound came to him like the last
sentence-the realization of Il soul on
whom the gate of the good closes for
ever.
In the dark silence of the chapel
Hatlelujah Jones smote his thin hands
together ~approvingly as he followed
the bishop to the outer door. There
the older man laid his hand on his
shoulder.
"Let him that thinketh he stand
eth" he said, take heed lest he fall!
Let not this knowledge be spread
abroad that it make the unrighteous
to blaspheme. When you pray for
your W soul tonight pray for the
soul of that man from whom Gods
face is turned away"
Something in the churchless evan
gelist bowed to the voice of ecclesias-
teal authority. He went without a
word.
In the study Harry Sanderson stood
for a moment with the cards and the
bag of double eagles in his hand. FL
nally he put the cards and the canvas

and said, clearly and aloud-to that
cold, inner symbol of consciousness in
his soul:

w away, and, his audience
gone, he folded the camp stool, turned
off the gasoline flare, shut down the
lid of his melodeon and trundled it I'D
the street.
AS he pushed up the street he came
to a great motor car standing at the
curb under the naples. There was no
one in it, but somewhere in its interior
a muffled whirring throb beat evenly
like a double metallic heart. He
stopped and regarded it inquisitively.
A rich mans property, to be sure!
He looked up. 1t was at the gate Of
the chapel. No doubt it belonged to
the fashionable rector who had been
pointed out to him on the street the
day before. He remembered the young
handsome face, the stylish broadcloth.
Yet it was a beautiful ediice that
wealth had built there for Christ. He
saw dimly the stone angel standing in
the porch and, leaving his melodeon
on the pavement. entered the gate to
examine it.
He noticed now a dim flicker that lit
one corner of the great rose window.
Moving softly over the cropped grass,
he approached, tilted one of the hinged
panels and peered in. Two men were
there. behind the altar railing. seated
at the communion table.
