How to Learn Singing,
The art of singing is a precious pos-
session which comparatively few peo-
ple can claim, despite the fact that
there are thousands who are certain'
in their own minds that they alone are
the sole possessors of the jewel, the
talisman which they can pass on to
others. It is something which is far
more than the mere knowledge of the
voice or of the organs of the throat.
It is a great art which must be trans -
matted rather than taught.
Listen to the birds and note how
they learn their songs from their
teachers in the nests. The songs of
their parents are their only models,
and they just sing as they heard their
parents do it. It must be obvious,
therefore,that one of the first prin-
ciples in studying singing is to inti -
ate. Not to mock as a parrot imi-
ates, but to listen to great singers un-
erstandingly and analytically. Hear
ow they produce their tones, Feel
the character, the quality of their
oices. Often this quality is a matter
f years of careful development. Very
ew singers of consequence sing with
q same voice they employed when
hey began their careers, Why? For
e reason that we all imitate when
e are children. We imitate the
oices that are around us. Often these
ices are very bad ones indeed, but
e instinctively imitate them. Then
e have to rebuild our voices after we
ve destroyed the bad habits. The
ucation of the voice is in 'a large
easttre the education of the ear ma-
ned with the individual voice ideal

Do It Now!
To -day is the day that your tasks
should be done—
The clay that God's given to you;
You're living Right Now, and this is
the one
To do what you're going to do.
This second—this minute is all that
you've got;
The future's a chance, anyhow; _
The past, with its shadows, the sooner:
forgot
The better—so do it right now.
•
You number your days from the day
you were born,
And count them with sighing and
tears,
But really, my friend, you're reborn
ev'ry morn—
In spite of the calendar years;
Each day, you start life with a view-
point that's new;
The past is a dream that has fled;
You cannot go back to the you that
was you,
In days that are finished and dead.
Nor can you go forward one day in
advance,
And glimpse what the morrow may
hold;
You can't change the future, or one
circumstance,
Except as the minutes unfold; -
To -day, is the day that your tasks
should be done;
So live that you never should fear
What's 'going to happen,' with each.

Booth Explains Son's.Generosity
With Tips.
Mr. J. R. Booth, the veteran Ottawa
Iumber king, whose granddaughter re-
cently became Prince Erik's bride,'
was in the habit of leaving his horse
and buggy in charge of the stable boy
at one of Ottawa's hostelries, Twenty'
five cents was the stable boy's regu-
lar tip.
Mr. Booth's son, Mr. J. Fred Booth,
on the other hand, usually gave the
boy fifty cents. The boy decided that
a gentle hint to J. R. might be profit-
able.
So on receipt of his next quar-
ter he said, "Your son usually gives!
me fifty, sir!" "Ah," said Mr. Booth,
smiling, " but he has a wealthy,
father."
Spring Market.
It's foolish to bring money

Jewels won't help you, •
Gold's no good.
Silver won't buy you

You may bring joy here,
You may bring grief,.
You should look for
Tufted moss,
Marked where a light foot
Ran across.
Where the old rose hips
Shrivel brown
And dried clematis
Bloom hangs down.
There you'll find what
Everyman needs,
Wild religion
Without any creeds,
Green that lifts its
Blossoming head,
New life springing
Among the dead.
You needn't bring money
To this market place,
Or think you can bargain for

Bird hunting is a serious• business
with a thoroughbred bird dog -so seri-
ous that he will refuse to hunt if the
sport is turned to play. Mr. Samuel
A. Derieux, in Animas Personalities,'
tells a story to the point:
I remember once when I was a boy
going out with several other boys and
taking with us an old LIewellyn Setter
named Thad. The dog started out in
his sturdy lope and soon found us a
covey of quail. W e all shot on the
rise, and we all missed. Then, see-
ing that we could not hit quail, we be-
gan to shoot at easier game, birds
that sat still in trees laughing and
shouting as boys will. Thad stayed
with us awhile; then we missed him.
Unostentatiously he had withdrawn
from the frivolous party and gone
home.
An old dog that knows he can do
well himself demands that the man
who hunts with him shall do well also.
An Englisman tells this story on him•
self, and I have no doubt that similar
incidents have occurred frequently.
He went out with a pointer that he
had borrowed from a friend who was a
crack shot- He himself was a poor
shot and missed again and again, and
each time the"pointer looked at him
in bewilderment- Finally the dog set
a pheasant right out in an open field
and then glanced back at the ap-
proaching man as much as to say,
"Now, here's a perfectly good open -.
shot. For pity's sake, see if you oan
do anything this time!"
The pheasant rose and flew off, an
easy mark; the man missed twice.
Thereupon the pointer sat down on his
haunches, raised his nose to high `
heaven and howled long and dolorous-
ly. Then with never another. look ai
the amateur huntsman he turned and
trotted home,
