There Is such a tantalizing suggestion of of mystery in many of the pen names which are so familiar to us that one cannot resist wondering how and why they were assumed; and .the story of their genesis may prove to be Interesting. Why, for example, should the late Charles Kingsley's talented

daughter choose to be known as Lucas Malet? According to her own confession, her modesty was the notion which Induced her to conceal her

part should not dim the luster of nAUIOALIOM lO rLMMLU

her father's fame. For this reason she combined the names of two clever women In her family, one of whom was Miss Mary Lucas, the maiden name of her father's mother, and the other, Alice Malet, her grandmother's

aunt, both of which names she has thus rescued from oblivion. With women writers the fear of family criticism seems to have been responsible for many assumed names. Mrs. Alexandria, for instance, the author of "The Wooing O't" and other delightful novels, adopted the chris

tian name of her husband, Mr. Alexander Hector, and under this mark won her fame before she was ever aware that she had written a line.

And Mme. Sarah Grand, knowing that

her husband, Surgeon McFall, did not approve of her views, concealed her identity under the name now so widly known and which she chose on ac

count of its plainness.

It is curious, by the way how

many authoresses have selected unattractive and even ugly pen names. Olive Schreiner won her laurels un

der the almost repellant name of

Ralph Ion; Mrs. Cralgie chose to be

known as John Oliver Hobbes, deliberately selecting the least attractive

name she could think of, so 'that it

might not be recognized as a woman's

choice, and that it might warn her against any yielding to womanly sen

timentality in her writings; and for similar reasons Mrs. Arthur Stannard presented herself to the public as John Strang Winter, as unfeminate a name as one could easily conceive. Many writers have reduced the mystery of their non de plume to the utmost by simply using their christian

name, as: Mrs. Thomas Ansty Guthrie, who chose to be known as

SL Petersburg, Sept. 22. A change in the electoral law to a proportional basis in order to permit representation of the conservative minority is being advocated by the permanent bureau of the congress of nobles on the ground that t&3 1 new parliament, if chosen under the existing laws,' can not fail to be more radical than the first. The bureau proposes the introduction of proportionality, after the first stage of the elections, the deputies to be apportioned according to the number of electors. The newspaper Obiednieni, which is circulated freely among the soldiers and the police, appeals to the soldiers of the guard to break the bonds of discipline and take 10 lives for every comrade killed, should the terrorists inaugurate a campaign of armed attacks onpollce and army officers in St. Petersburg, such as was recently waged, in Warsaw. The Liberals profess the greatest alarm over this possibility and ckiim-it is a direct incitement, to' arpttttibn here of the Siedlce dlseifdelpsf on a greater scale.

F. Anstey; Mr. Forbes Phillips as courtmaralwas held here and a ter-

Athol Forbes; Mr. Anthony Hope Hawkins, as Anthony Hope, and Mr. A. R. Hope-Moncrieff as Ascott R. Hope. It is curious to observe how almost Invariably i pen names of women writers are either avowedly masculine or without Indication of sex, as George Elliott. Maxwell Gray and G. M. Hutton (Mrs. Mona Caird)r Miss Ada Allan Bailey arrived at the name Edna Lyall, now so familiar to us, by the simple process of transposing some of -the letters of her own name, and Mile, de la Ramee as is known, adopted as her public appellation, Quida, which was the near

est approach a very youthful sister could make to the pronunciation of her christian name, Louisa.

Some pen names have a distinctly humorous origin, as Luke Sharpe,

which suggested the obvious meaning that occurred to its owner, Robert

Rarr. Mr. Morton J. Piggott preserves his initials in the amusing form of Medium Tom Phun. The name Mark Twain was, as Is pretty

generally known, suggested to Mr. Clements by the cry of the leadsman on a Mississippi river boat when the lead indicated that the boat was In shallow and consequently dangerous water. The Rev. John Watson arrived at Ian Maclaren by using the

Gaelic form of John and adding his mother's maiden name of . Maclaren, and Max O'Rell made a combination of his grandfather's Christian name Maxine, and his grandmother's patronymic. O'Reilly, abbreviating Maxine O'Reilly into the familiar Max O'Rell. " "

to death andrexecuted for killing a policeman. "The,' court consisted of six officers of the army, whose names ar? kept secret, i,, Tarle was in a pitiful condition when brought before the court from jldss of blood from five wounds received before he was arrested. After bengsentenced ht3 was carried to the prison yard and tied to a post. His last words were curses and expressions of contempt for his captors. "You assassins," he cried, "you believe that with your organized attacks and field courts you can shoot down the whole t young Russia. But be assured thgt 'there are bombs and

"The Correct Singing Breath." The secret of all artistic singing lies in the correct breath control. By certain breathing exercises it is possible to wonderfully develop the voice of a pupil without their uttering a single sound. And yet, while probably more has been written and said upon this Important question of breathing in singing than upon any other question in the broad field of vocal art, the truth is that it Is less understood by the , profession than any other of the really great principles of correct singing. Now, there are three possible ways of breathing: Collarbone breathing done by drawing up and then flattening the upper parts of the chest, namely, the collar-bone and the shoulder blades; Costal breathing, by extending the "floating ribs" sideways; and Midriff. Abdominal or diaphragmatic breathing, by moving the diaphragm up and down. In my later paper on "Tone Color" I shall explain the use each particular method of breathing has In an "artist's" interpretation, but for the "student" there

is but one way to breathe that is at

the diaphragm. The Conservatory of

Paris teaches or did teach the Cla

vicular, or collar-bone method of

breathing; as a result the French

singers became notorious for the in

tolerable and never-ceasing tremolo

which marred many, in other re

spects, fine voices.

But today the best authorities are all united in agreeing that the abdominal is the only correct singing breath. There are very few vocal students who have not been taught to breathe at their diaphragm once

or twice, merely as a proof that they have received such instruction. But only about one pupil out of every 600 really controls their breath at the diaphragm, either in singing or in their daily living. And further, only about one teacher in 50 is able to intelligently present the subject to the pupils so that they can be understood. Breathing at the diaphragm is not a little "trick," but a vital

principle the understanding of which is necessary to be able to sing well, and that method of breathing musfc become automatic before it can possibly be of service in actual singing: that is to say, the "artistic" breath must be as unconscious as the vital or "living" breath. It must be the result of free, flexible action, and not of conscious effort. It must be the "natural breath. Any system of breathing that requires direct effort Is artificial and therefore, unnatural. For the conscious or artificial breath Is a muscular breath, and therefore compels muscular control, compelling the singer to harden every muscle of the chest and throat as well. Since the first principle of all artstle toneproduction Is the removel of all restraint, the conscious breath, since it makes this condition impossible, since it means a hard, set diaphragm, an undue tension of the abdominal muscles, an unnatural position and

condition of the chest, a hardening and contracting of the throat muscles, and eventually the unseating of the voice, the singing breath must be the living breath. Thus we fulfill the rule of the Old Italian School "breath naturally."
