Vorcli, the man who wrote "Trovu lore," wns once nsked an lint were the requirements esspntinl to n great sintrer. His answer wns: "First, i bruins, nnil bceond voice' Tlio old mahler avhs in a jrent measure right. JVo often hear it said that "so and so is a beautiful singer, perfectly na:- fimil, never hnd a bit of training," which means that the person referred to possesses a wonderful voeal in- struument, so to speak. Hut one cannot play upon this instrument l-vvith any degree of skill without tlw rproper course of training, no moie jthnn they could upon u great Strati :iarins violin. The violin and the voice each produce a divino qunlty of tone. The artistic results depend upon the skill of the plnycr. You may not bo aware of the frtct, but It is novel thelcss true thnt America, and not Italy, is the nest in which the famous songbirds of the world nre hatched, and it is with regret thnt we hnve to acknowledge thnt K until very recently our American ysingers hud to masniieade under a poreigu num do plume in order to gel precognition in the land of their birth B Amcricn, until very lately, hns been snobbish and imitative in her appreciation of art. Mine. Nordicn's real nninu is Lillie Norton. "Albnni" Jis an Italianized pronouncintion of 'Albnny, N. Y. Just what her home , nnme is tluMvriter is unable to st.it", but like as not it is Mary "Jonoq Pcregini, the faiuonus America tenor, used to answer "present" in i his school days when the tenchtd called out "Johnny Chutterteii!" And so we might go on down the H-.I to a considerable length. We pre Imppv to snv that this condition has changed, It is now quite common to &e such nnmes as "Susan AdnmV "Gcrnldino Farrar" and "Loieo Ho mer" in the same enst with the greatest singers in the world, llio American singers have at last come into their own. This country 1m by far the grentest market for musical talent of any country on the world s map. And the boy or girl who pos sesses talent and inclination may feel assured that if they fit themselves for n career by a thorough musical training they will have a profession that they can depend upon for a livelihood as surely as any of the recognized professions, 'such as lnw medicine, science and literature. Hut, like the doctoror lawyer, they inu.it fit- themselves. The quack in nnv profession is in tho down-nnd-oirt class. There are maiiy so-called mu sicians who are only entertainers it u very amateurish wav. High schools and colleges arc constantly calling for capable instructors of music. He sides, lliero are churches in ovcr large city who pay good salaries to capable singers for one day's sorvicc out of the seven- And thero is lac concert and operatic field, whose possibilities are unlimited Thus far we have had to draw Inrgcly from Europe for our in structors and musical directors. The reason is not that America has not the natural talent, but thnt her so called musicians have been satisfied with the most superficial knowledge of what is one of the grout profes sions. So my advice is to boy or girl who wish to mnko music their life "work, go at it in earnest, and, like the surgeon or lawyer, become master of your profession. MRS. MI) ANDREWS.

An automatic-locking flame spreader prevents the wick from being turned high enough to smoke, and is easy to remove and drop back so that it can be cleaned in an instant.
