An English savant says that the delicate and sickly should
learn singing because it is good for the health. Whose,
health? Not that of the neighbors, surely, nor of the other;
members of the family. Nor is it without attendant risks!
for the delicately organized vocalist if he is expected to be
(ho beneficiary, especially if more robust neighbors are with
in hearing and striking distance. For the sake of the peace i
and accord about which so much is said in these modern j
times, it is to be hoped doctors will not generally prescribe I
.singing lessons. Even if there were no violence, by the. time
the patients recovered all their neighbors would have gone'
into a decline. Then these would take up singing, the first'
ones would suffer a relapse and an endless vicious cycle of
invalidism would be set in mo,tion. Remedies often are morcj
desperate than the malady. . I

Tnore is no dotiht about it, the country is nil wrontf. One
has but to road to find that out. Only about :0 per -cent
of the eligible Voters vote. Writers of history text-books
arc teaching our youth that Uellea'u Wood was a battle,
whereas the official records class it as a local engagement.
Right million of our pianos are mfl of tune, and are runining
our musical taste. Our medical education is all wrong, and
Hi is all the rest of our education. Kxposure of the human
form, due to slavish subservience to 'style, is undermining
our health, although it is saving many of us from pneumonia
and tuberculosis. Three-quarters of us do not brush our
teeth.
We have mi great native music, and our theaters are all
wrong. In art, we are several thousand years behind the
Hottentots. We are speed-mad, and devote far too much
time to pleasure. A New York gentleman complains that
when our athletes enter an international contest, their sole
aim is to win.
In spite of several score magazines of huge circulation de
voted to the ait of hanging curtains and making currant
jelly, the American home is being destroyed. Wages are so
high that we don't know w hat to do with our money, but the
average American can't afford a doctor. We are losing our
hair and our teeth, and most of us have to wear glasses.
In short, we are in terrible shape, and there is no hope for
Us unless we walk six miles a day, drink lots of water between
meals, and take something for our halitosis. Nevertheless,
it has been a pretty good summer so far; so stimulating, in
fact, that the fall crop of evil prophecies ought to be enorm
ous. And the most heartening thing of all is that our most
consistent national critics are going abroad to live the rest
of their lives.
