That this process should have a wearing effect on the” carpe: is not surprising, when it is recalled that there are three state dinners and five levees or receptions every winter, at each of which the heavy plants are hauled in and out of the room, to say nothing of the effect of the heavy tread of the workmen engaged in their proper arrangement. Similar scenes are enacted, but on a much smaller scale, at the afternoon card receptions of the lad of the house. Notwithstanding the almost constant use, winter and summer, the carpets and furniture show comparatively little more wear and tear than similar articles in the houses of private citizens who entertain on a large scale. This is undoubtedly due to the excellent care bestowed upon them, and also because the visitors, as a rule, are care- ful and considerate in their treatment of the furniture. They are allowed perfect freedom in the use of the sofas and chairs, and, with few exceptions. respect the priv- flege. There have been some acts of van- daliem, but these are comparatively few and insignificant, when it is considered that the house is open to everybody. Most of the vandalism has been committed by relic hunters, but in one or two instances the Gamage was done in a spirit of malicious mischief. It has happened that persons from @ distance, desiring souvenirs of their visit, have cut small pieces out of the curtains, and torn the small tassels frem the sofas and chairs. One adventurous youth made mens both of cigarettes and tobacco, re- ports that arsenic is present in more than a third of the brands in common use. It is by no means confined to the cheaper speci- mens, but is met with even in high-class cigarettes. In Germany and other coun- tries the use of arsenic by paper manufac- turers is prohibited, and it seems desirable that some restriction should be placed on its employment by British and American firms. ee Iron Foundations. From New Ideas. A new way of constructing a solid founda- tion for a tall building has been tried with success in Berlin. It was necessary to find a solid base sufficiently strong to carry a building weighing more than 10,000 tons. The plot of ground upon which the building was to stand was adjoined on both sides by Tigh buildings, which rendered unsafe the digging ‘to any depth for a foundation. The only way out of the difficulty was the sink- ing of a caisson in the center of the plot, upon the cemented top of which a hollow form of cement was built. In to this form molten tron was poured, filling up the space, and upon this cast fron foundation plate the understructure of the building now rests, while the side walls are supported by a can- tilever structuré. The full weight of the lead upon the cast fron foundation is esti- mated at more than 20,000 tons. their own heroic deeds. Nevertheeless, when the symbolist poet has finished declaiming in French and well-gloved little hands have clapped him frantically, the sweet lips mur- tour with a soft humility—you hear the phrases all round about mixed with the amiable hum and rattling of cups and spoons. “Of course, I don’t catch every word.” “He speaks so fast, you know.” “and I don't understand Jenny’s French when she sings.” “Nor I. Only, of course, here and there— enough to get the sense, you know.” This is the artistic atmosphere of the girl music student. She may ‘not under- stand, but she likes it, nevertheless. Selection of a School. Being thus delightfully situated in the midst of a refined and adiniring circle, the student of vocal or-instrumental music has nothing to do but to study and justify her pretentions. Schools are as thick as board- ing houses. But it is absolutely necessary to get to the right one. There is only one right one, and all the others are wrong. In- stead of helping the voice they spoil it: You had better not study at all. Better let your voice lie fallow. You will have to unlearn all that you have learned. The right school, on the other hand, will con- duot you gently to the highest fame and fortune. After a great deal of study of this question, I have discovered an invariably It is the custom in ail these private sing- ing schools of Parts, @s at the government congervatoire—to’ which our home girls seldcm ask for entrance—to have an an- nual commencempgnt !n the spring or early summer. In an each school has two— the public and thé private hearings. A hall is hired, pfograths aré printed and a half dozen or more titkets issued to each of the girls. There are, never enough of these tickets to go round, among the girls’ friends and admirers, owing to the fact that their professor Keeps so many back to give out where he judges they will do mest good. The Hour of Trial. To the public hearing he invites the great critical Paris public, that interests itself in knowing all about new voices. There will be impressarios from half the European capitals, the directors of the Paris Opera, mayhap, or the Opera Comique, local and foreign agents, and reputation makers, not to speak of hundreds of theatrical and lyric artistes of the Paris stage. In this way there always is a conflict to get to the public hearings even of the less-known schools, for no one knows what voices may be_ hidden there. Each student has assigned to her one Piece or two, according as she has pro- gressed. And into the rendering of these morceaux her professor has put all his teaching for long weeks and weeks. The girls are in the green room, nervous, chat- ut AU MExTURE g For Pipe and Cigarette @ 20Z. Sack 10 Cents.@ @ Cgaretic paper with ¢ each 2 0Z. sack. - OO@ODAae! L. 8.
