I struction along the line of Voice Culture, | Bodily Poise and Concentrated thought l have talked with many of the promi-
 nent club women of Birmingham and find that they are very much interested | in the work I am doing. l also expect to organize classes for the "grownups" who have some time to spare and wish to devote it to great and wonderful study. There will also be classes for the high
 school student, the children and the busy
 people will find that they can get in
 great deal of splendid study by joining the evening classes" was the reply
 And the children. they are really the
 ones who learn most readily" I ob- served
 T shall make a speciality of instruction for children,' said Miss Seebode, '"and in that work feel that shall have. the CO., operation of parents as they are begin
 ming to realize more and more that it is as necessary for children to read and I speak well as 1t is for them to play
 sonata. The little ones are instructed just as grown-upS, only the technic Is in their own vocabulary Following in the line with expressive interpretation comes
 the Dramatic Training. The idea of this
 work is entirely practical, designed for the person desiring stage training, as well
 as for the student who goes into the work for the benefit of the pleasures and gen eral culture derived from it. My ideas along this line again Is to follow the plan of my Alma Mater and cast both modern
 and classic dramas The student will
 have many opportunities to develop his special talent.''
 "So your work Is very comprehensive in its scope,' l suggested, at once real
 izing the immensity of the task that this young woman had set before herself Yes my work is large one and covers an immense field. I find that 1t is
 going to be little slower than I had at first anticipated to awaken the interest of Birmingham people, but feel that this, like the many other fine things of Birmingham, will be taken up, and that generously when I have proven that | can and will do what I have said I would," she replied. When we con- | sider the many uses that the wonderful Human Voice Is put to, how it is our privilege in this enlightened age to sway
 the masses through 1t. when we consider all this, we see how much careful and systematic study will do for us; how
 much unnecessary vociferation could be
 done away with if we but knew the value of pause or the secret of inflexion: how many words could be dispensed with | if careful study had been made of the
 psychology or gesture. My aims are the
 highest, perhaps too high, but hitch your wagon to a star,' you know. is the old aphorism. What the musician is to
 music the reader is to literature-a re- creator!'

 Fruit canned in the oven is not cooked at all or put into the sirup, but put into the hot jars in the raw state. Inclosed are detailed instructions.

 "Sterilize the cans and utensils.
 Prepare the fruit as for cooking in a preserving kettle; fill the hot jars with the raw fruit, shaking 1t down as you fill, and when they will hold no more fruit fill up with sirup. Run a knife blade around the inside of each jar. Place them in the open, either on the asbestos or in the pan of water.
