HOW VOICES ARE RUINED.

Loud Singing and Singing While Suffer-

ing From a ('old Detrimental.

A musician tells a reporter of the Utica Press “How Voices Are Ruined.” It should be read and remembered by all young singers. Among other things he said: ‘‘The three principal sources of damage to the voice are, first, forcing the voice; second, forcing the voice; third, forcing the voice. Constant loud singing has certainly ruined ninety per cent, of all the voices in the world. The way to build up a voice is not to use the full force of the tone; nothing more than medium at the outside. By this the powers are grad-

Supreme Court Clerk. [From the Terre Haute Gazette, Feb. 17, 1994.] “C. W. Welman, of Sullivan, is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Clerk of the Supreme Court, and will be a strong candidate. He has a large acquaintance over the state, and is in every way fitted for the position. He is editor of the Sullivan Times, and is prominent and popular in newspaper circles. He is president of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association, and a member of the Southern Indiana Press Association; was a delegate to the National Editorial Association at Detroit in 1889, Boston in 1890, and Chicago in 1893; and is also County Superintendent of Sullivan County and is a member of the County Superintendents’ Association. He is a brilliant writer, a forcible, eloquent speaker, and has done good service

for his party.

Mr. Welman was born in Crawford county, Indiana, Sept. 18, 1858; removed with his parents to Gibson county, where tho latter still reside, in 1860. His grandfather was a pioneer of Indiana, and his father was born in Orange county in 1826. He attended the High school at Fort Branch and the Northern Indiana Normal school at Valparaiso, and taught school in Gibson and Vanderburgh counties from ls7S to 1885; engaged in the newspaper business, editing various local papers and took charge of the Sullivan Times in 1888, which paper he continues to ably edit. He was elected County Superintendent of schools in 1891 and re

elected in 1893.

At the first meeting of the County Superintendents after his election, he electrified the association by a brilliant defense of the Superintendents against an attack by a speaker. He is held in high esteem by school officers and other educators of the state, with whom ’he enjoys a large acquaintance. He is prominent, locally, in secret society work, and is a member of the Masonic fraternity, the Knights of Pythias and improved Order of Red Men. The nomination of Mr. Welman will add strength to the ticket, especially in this district where Sullivan county must furnish the majority to elect a congressman Tho Gazette wishes him success.”

constant application. Sir Morrell MacKenzie gives it as his deliberate opinion, after a vast experience, that a voice cannot be built up in less than seven years, but the musician said that, after fifty years’ experience, he had found that three years’ practice on the lines indicated above will build up a voice almost to its utmost artistic capabilities. Singing when the pupil has a cold of any kind affecting the throat or chest is highly injurious. Practice at such times can hardly do good, and may do serious harm. The speaker quoted many instances where total loss of voice has resulted from singing when the vocal organs have been affected by cold, and he advised students not to sing at all until all inflammation hail passed. Hu strongly I deprecated singing in chorus, an excellent practice, but one attended with serious dangers to the solo vocalist. If you can really restrain your ardor and zeal, and only sing in the most exciting passages with a moderate amount of vocal power, you may do no harm, but the misfortune is that in a chorus the members are carried away with overzeal and emulation of their neighbors, and in very many instances do more harm to their voices as solo singers in five minutes than | any teacher in the world can amend in I five years. lie also called attention to the danger of ruining the voice by straining it while singing in the pub- I lie schools. Boys should not sing while their voices are changing. Ilis I own voice had been a very good one | while young; but was ruined by straining while lie was singing in an

EFFECT OF AIR IN CAVES. It Sometime* Cutises Nausea to I*eople

with Delicate Noses.

In his account of the visit to the Mammoth cave in Kentucky, Dr. Hovey describes the peculiar physiological effects experienced on emerging from that locality—the sense of smell being intensified to such an extraordinary degree that most common objects, such as trees, plants, animals and even people. had strong individual odors, mostly unpleasant, and some visitors are known to suffer from nausea and headaches by reason of a too sudden change from the remarkably pure air of the cave to that of the outside world. According to Dr. Ho>ey’s theory, this intensification of olfactory perceptions is due to the rarity of olfactory stimuli in the cave, while on emergence, in keeping with a physiological law, the perceptive powers for these particular stimuli, having rested, are intensified, so that odors too delicate to make an impression under ordinary circumstances are powerfully felt—by the constant repetition of the ordinary olfactory stimuli, this effect passing off. so that soon only the stronger odors are registered in consciousness; that is, consciousness is mainly con-
