How the Singers Sing

Mr.. Sharp records, not without
some show of surprise, that, unlike his
experiences in England when on his
folksong quests, he found young sing
ers as we'll as old. "Instead of having
to confne my attention to the aged,
as in England, where no one under the
age of seventy ordinarily possesses
the folksong tradition, discovered
that / could get what / wanted from
pretty nearly every one l met, young
and old. In fact, found myself for
the first time in my life in a COM
munity in which singing was as COM
mon and almost as universal a prac-
tice as speaking" As for the manner
of the singing mountaineers, Mr..
Sharp says they "sing in very much
the same way as English folksingers,
in the same straightforward, direct
manner, without any conscious effort
at expression, and with the even tone
and clarity of enunciation with which
all folksong collectors are familiar.
Perhaps, however, they are less un-
self-conscious and sing rather more
freely and with somewhat less re-
straint than the English peasant;
certainly never saw any one of them
close the eyes when he sang nor as
sumo that rigid, passive expression TO
which collectors in England have so
often called attention" Mr.. Sharp
came across only one singer who sang
to an instrumental accompaniment Ia
GUITAR, but from Mrs. Campbell he
heard of the use of the dulcimer in
Kentucky. Here Mr. Sharp should have
used the local name of the instru-
ment which has been pictured and
described in The Tribune. The noun
taineers Of Kentucky call it "dulci-
more" which, no doubt, is a corrup-
tion of dulcimer. The instrument
however, does not belong to the dull
elmer class, for it's strings are not
struck with hammers, but twanged
with a stout goose or turkey quill.
Mr.. Sharp was incorrectly informed
when told that the strings were
"plucked with the fingers" Such treat
ment would also take it out of the
dulcimer class and put it in that Of
the harp or Lutte.

"The Messiah" by Handel, to be
given by the Oratorio Society at Car
negie Hall next Thursday evening, will
be the ninety-second performance given
by the society since its foundation by
DR.. Leopold Damrosch, in 1873. At this
performance Mr.. Damrosch will correct
certain changes which Ebenezer Prout,
the English musician, made in his edi-
tion of 1902, for which Mr.. Damrosch
believes he has not had sufficient
authority from the sources available
for research. These changes are prin-
cipally rhythmic, and affect especially
the introduction and the choruses "Be-
hold the Lamb Of God" and "All we,
like sheep, have gone astray." In the
air "The people that walked in the
darkness" the Mozart orchestration
will be retained. A quartet of soloists,
Mabel Garrison, Mary Jordan, Morgan
Kingston and Henri Scott, will unite
with the chorus of $50 and the orches-
ira of the Symphony Society in the
performance.

What 1t
Means To The POuItryman.
By J. H. MeFAUL, Jr.
(AH Rights ReSeyVed1

Matching even as late AS June, but these
matches rarely ever amount 70 much from
the standpoint of supply ing tail and win
ter eggs. Pullets maturing in time for
fall and winter laying must be hatched
out early in the year and kept constantly
growing, in order to be Of service at a
time when eggs are at a premium.
/ February is sufficiently early enough
to get out the youngsters. but to do this,
It must be remembered that the prepara-
tions for the Matching must bs made dur
| ing the month of January. This clearly
proves that the first month in the year is
verv important one in the poultryman'
calendar.
But the mating and Matching of birds
is not only work of the poultryman for
January This month is no different from
any other when it comes to keeping the
birds in condition for their functions in
life. In order to hatch and raise a good
percentage of the eggs incubated it is
necessary that the parent stock should he
kept reasonably free from vermin and
that their quarters and nesting should be
sweet and clean at all times
Lice have no more respect for a broody !
hen or little chicks than they have for a
common stable yard fowl, and in order /
to keep the birds in health, it is essential (
that this most dangerous form of vermin /
be kept down to a minimum To do this /
means much hard work and attention on
the part of the breeder. but it will pay
for the trouble in the long run.
Keep the hens comfortable and active
during the cold weather and YOU will get
returns in the shape Of eggs The drink
ing vessels should be emptied and cleaned
every night if you would prevent their
becoming impure.
The kinds of birds you will hatch dur
ing February and the other Matching
months will depend largely upon what
kind of care you give the older birds
during January, and for this reason extra
care and precautiOn should be exercised
at this time.
January, as above stated, is the month
for real preparation If you have done
and are doing everything in your power
to make the hens comfortable, to keep
them in excellent health, are feeding
and watering them after a we'll advised
system and have been successful in keep
ing away all forms of the more danger
ous disease, such as 'roup, canker and
you are indeed in a good
position to have a most successful year.
Permanent success is bound to come
10 the man who attends to the wants of
his birds daily, weekly and monthly as
The occasion arises, but it will never
smile upon the man who lets every op-
Dortunity slip by without giving any seri-
1us thought to the fowls or their environ
nent

DRINKS AND SMOKES MAY
BE LUXURIES FOR DANES

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 6.-Drink-
ing and smoking will really be luxur-
les in Denmark under the new taxa
ton program just introduced in par
lament. This provides for special tax
on wine equal to the retail price per
bottle, exactly doubling the cost to
the consumer and almost doubles the
tax on the making it, according to the
president of the Brewers league, the
highest in the world.
The measure increases the tax on
cigars; cigarettes and tobacco to
from 20 to 80 per cent of the retail
price and is expected to return 49,
100000 kroner additional taxes. II
fixes a special tax of 10 per cent on
all sales of jewelry and precious
stones. The tax on incomes of more
than 5000 crowns is increased by SO
to IS per cent. The property tax on
property of the value of $4,000
crowns and upwards is virtually dou-
