The four essentials to healthful dairy buildings are light, ventilation, a proper floor and a comfortable tie Window glass is almost as cheap as lumber.

Serious Fault of Vecalism--Origin- ated in an Old Man's Shaky Tone and Developed Into a Nuisance by Ignorant Singers--A Blemish That Should be Effaced. Philadelphia Westminster. By miserfic music is meant music that produces misery in those that hehr it. z o The tremolo in vocalisi is an in- fliction, and in church music it bas become an affliction. Painful as is a flickering light to sensitive eyes, so is a flickering tremolo to sensitive ears. The late Henry Collins Deacoa, pro- fessor in the Royal College of Music, London, characterizes it as "a vocal vice," and says: "When, as is too often the, case, it degenerates into a mannerism, its effect is either painful, ridiculous, or nauseous, entirely op- posed to good tasie and common sense and to be severely reprehended in all students whether of vocal or instru- mental music." Of the famous Polish singer and eacher, Jean de Resrke, a pupil writes . "Mr. de Reszke is justly proud f the fact that after many years of singing the tones of his voice are ab- swlutely free from any suspicion of ieemolo. He claims that it is proof of the excellence of his method of singing that his voice is as steady as the tone £ an organ. How he hates both tre molo and vibrato." The great Garcia, who is brother to two women--Malibran and Vidarot-- that rank amoung the greatest singers f all time, and who taught such vocalists as Jenny | Lind, Antoinette iterling, Mathilde Marchesi, Charles <antley, and many others, said to his syiographer : "The iremolo is an abo- pination--it is execrable." Says the dditor of that great Ame- san music journal, the Etude: "The tremolo is indeed an intolerable nui- sance, and not only pervades the harch but the concert room also. Many vocal editors have called atten- tion to its horrors." If those who 'so much effect the tremolo knew the origin of this style of singing it would hardly be as popu- lar with them as it is, for it origina- ted in senility. This is Garcia's ac count of it : "There was at ¢me time an emiment vocalist worshiped by the Parisian pub lic. His voice was beautiful in qual ity, faultless in intomation and abso- lutely steady in omission.| At last, however, he began to grow old. With increasing years the voice commenced to shake. But he was a great artist. Realizing that the tremolo was a fault, but one which could not then be dvoided, he brought his mind to bear upon the problem before him. As a re sult, he. adopted. a style of sang in which he had to display an intense emotion throughout. "Since in life thé voice trembles at such moments, he was able to hide his failing in this way by a quality of voice which ap- peared natural to the situation. The Parisians did not grasp the workings of his brain and the clever way m which he had hidden his fault. They only heard that in every song he sang his voice trembled. At once, therefore, they concluded that if so fine an effect could be obtained, it was evidently something to be imitated. Hence the singers deliberately began to cultivate the tremolo. The custom grew and grew until it became almost a canon of French singing." Thus it seems that the tremolo vocal style, like so many things in the world of pleasure or fashion, is of French origination. Over against French senil- ity sot Italian virility. A Jeter lying before me from a pupil of Maestro Giorgio Sulli, of New York, says: "All of his instruction is in the line of dinging with a full voice--the [talian ax opposed to the French style." The tremolo in an organ is pleasing and elicctive if there be not too much of it--which there often is. It is pro- joced, not by air pressure, but by interrupted air pressure, or air waves pasting from the bellows through the pipes. The sounds, how- aver, are always "on the key." But the human bellows, the lungs, have fot the 'mechanism -to- produce. such wir A Ar SN STOMACH TROUBLE ENDED. AN MORE & iis k i Bf Ll 5 iit i i ¥ ; fi 7 i i 4 4] F i i any case i TT RINGSTON.

Vocal tremolo is produced by m or mervous action, or both, in the larynx, shoriening and ening the vocal cords, which change in length involves a constant change of key.

But when a tremolo quartette gets in its work, et ey coibuting 108 stant ol eo! 0, conglomerate quadruplex org oh ! that produces misery ! Its 'effect upon one with aural delicacy is enough to cover this whole page with horrific ex- clamation points: : Someone has characterized tremolo as distressingly affficted with of the vocal cords; another, as "loose valve in the throat™; another, as belonging to "the ague squad." A geoent visitor at The Westminster Open Hearth expresses the feeling of not a few when he says: sent at the millionaire. tette and all four had the 'wok : and as they could not wobble in uni- son they wobbled independently. At no moment, after initial tones, were they all on the one key, and at every moment some of were off the kev. It was hair-raising; but it was a very Eiffel tower of 'high art,' i suppose. I verily beliove if 1 had been in that casket T would have been un controllably tempted to and throw at the 4 sinfere er than the flowers on v it was just awful. And that kind of music is rendered, or rended, every Sunday, and more." : Nor is this the only source of misery in the music of the sanctuary and otherwise. 5 With the tremolo style of singing-- would that it were only with this style--goes a mal-enunciation of words that renders them unintelligible--in- articulate smudges of sound," as some one has phrased it. St. Paul says, "In the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding than ten thousand words in an unknown ton gue" (I. Cor. 14:19); and he putes: ing with the spirit and the under standing in the same category with praying with the spirit and the under standing (ibid. vs. 15.) Song words should be understandable no less than prayer words. Some one has 0 a singer's "Ye tnightly pi tehmy mov- ing ten ta da ysmar chneare rome" as a rendering of Montgomery's "Yet nightly pitch my moving tent a day's march nearer home !" How much of solo and quartette-- less of chorus--singing is in an un known tongue ! Singing evangelists-- like Bliss, McGranahan, Sankey, Alex- ander, and olhers--have been such singers ataxia having a preacher because of their musical elo- sution, the sentiments they have sung being comprehended as well as though the words had been simply spoken, ut- terance being reinforced with the pow or of melody. And why should. it not be so in all church siagiog ? Recently hearing what is reputed to be the best quartette (tremolo) ina great city, scarcely could be discerned a word as belonging to the English language, and when the vigorous an- them was ended, there came to mind a scene in Lhe experience of St. Paul at Ephestis © "And when the uproar was ceased" (Acts 20:1), and also a coup- lot from Holmes' "The Musie-Grind- ers © "And silence, like a poultice, came To heal the blows of sound." Such an auricular assault made me miserable. : Perhaps something short of resort-| ing to fasting and prayer may he suf- ficient to exercise thix miserable tre- molo demon and to improve enuncia-| tion so that song words shall be as) anderstandablé as sermon words. Such | result surely ought to be accomplish «1. and it i« hoped that this presenta tion may. contribute somewhat to that end.
