A LII bows and girls are familiar

"Pied Piper of Hamelin."
Well, there Is u good story In connec
ton with the opera called "The Rat
catcher of Hamela," when it was first
given in the great Royal Opera House
Of Dresden.
In this opera, while Singup, the
charmer. was singing his tuneful and
spellbinding incarnation, thousands
upon thousands of rats suddenly IN
vaded the stage. emerging from doors
and windows, crevices in the walls ana
holes in the ground.
They were made up" as lifelike as
possible. and scamperod about the stage
for all the world as If they were real
flesh and blood, instead of only skin and
stuffing. Do you wonder. then, tnat
thew completely tool IN the sleek old
cat belonging to the stage?
Now. even If she was sleek and we'll
fed. she was a conscientious old cat.
And she did not consider hat her duty
was done when she had merely played
"gojng to bed in the chilren's matinee
once a week.
60. when. this night of the new opera,
she suddenly perceived what II be-
lievod to be, a host of her natural foes
In the very act of audaciously trespass-
ing In the stage. she gave a piercing
'Mi-aui' of indignation, leaped down
to the stage and from her favorite
corner in the wings and. to the un-
bounded amusement OF the audience,
fastened her claws into n of the
counterfeit rats.
In a twinkling she discovered, of
course, that she had been fooled. but
she never turned a hair" beating her
retreat with all the majesty of a we'll
born. self-resepcting tabby.
The audience howled with delight,
and gave her such an enthusiastic recall
tina finally one of the actors brought
her nut to acknowledge the applause.

Thc ReneAt of SINGING.


Modern singing teachers claim sing

the vocal organs and is the result of a
young person overcoming kissing or
nasal en~unciation. An unpleasant
voice is a bad defect. and often causes
unkind remarks. While the subject
Of physical exercise is debated from
every point of vantage, 1t is clearly
understood by physical culture direc-
tors that singing is just as important
as swimming, dumb-bells or hand-bar
walking.
Nothing is better calculated thar the
practise Of singing to produce the
power of free respiration. OF course
the art of singing Is taught by various
systems of proper breathing as well as
vocal training, for which reason most
singers are usually very healthy and
among the females. there is a ten

flesh and cheerful spirits, for he or
she who sings must be cheerful, for
song words cannot escape from the
lips of a dull person.

very soothing to a muscular pain and
is simply made. In a small saucepan
put a square, folded flannel cloth.
Pour over this enough witch hazel to
thoroughly moisten It; heat and place

over it to keep 1t in place.

Things Worth Knowing.

Things worth Knowing.
MILK remains fresh longer in a shall
low basin than 1t would If kept in a
deep jug.
Baking tins should be washed as
clean as possible with a strong solu-
tionfpf soda, and then secured with a
piece of pumice stone. This will keep
them in excellent condition.
Combs soon split If washed. A stiff
nail brush is a good thing for clean
ing them. After using the brush take
a damp cloth and with 1t wipe between
each tooth of the comb.
To clean knives easily take a fiat
cork. DIP 1t in slightly .moistened knife
powder and with 1t rub up and down
the blade till all stains are removed
Then wipe with n buster.
In mincemeat or any Juicy pie insert
a pastry chimney or funnel In upper
crust and there will be no more trouble
over a leaky pie.
Use black knitting silk for dafning
stockings and you will be pleased with
the work, for the needle runs smooth
ly under and over the stitches, with
the result that the patch is very neat,
much more SO than when darning cot
