HARD TEST FOR SINGERS.
Making Talking Machina Records Is a
Difficult Task.
It is well known that the grand
opera stars make a great deal of
money singing into the talking ma
chines of various concerns, in order
that these companies may manufac
ture the records for sale, but the
fact that almost without exception
a grand opera star would much
r,at her sing before the most critical
audience than before a talking ma
chine is by no means generally
known.
In the first place it is rather un
canny standing in a big empty room
before a mammoth horn protruding
from between curtains, with the
conductor away up high where he
will not interrupt the sound waves,
and the “orchestra” composed of
weird looking instruments made
especially for this work.
The singer stands on a little
wooden platform at the mouth of
the receiving trumpet.
A red light is flashed, and the
queer little orchestra gets to work.
Then at the cr.ucial moment the
artist has to sing to this strange
little assembly with the same zest
he would under the inspiration of
brilliant lights, beautiful clothes,
splendid settings and an applaud
ing audience. It is an ordeal, be
cause he has to sing with far great
er care in front of the talking ma
chine than is required when an
audience is pleased. The slightest
variation means a start over, a
slight clearing of the .throat, a deep
breath or slight shuffle of the feet
—and the revolving disks record
every one of those faults—and the
record is spoiled. But these faults
are all criticised by an experienced
record director, and it is his busi
ness to see that nothing short of
the perfect records arc produced—
because from these first molds are
made all of the thousands of rec
ords that go into so many homes.
When the artist has finished the
record is played over and the im
perfections criticised. The weak
spots are rehearsed and the whole
trying business commenced over
again.
And so it is acknowledged by
many of the theatrical and musical
hall stars that to produce a record
of pure and distinct tone is far
harder than to make their way suc
cessfully through a whole operatic
score. It is a tremendous task to
get a set of the perfect records
from the opera favorites. It has
been said that Caruso has been
forced to spend more than four
hours of untiring work before be
was able to perfect his “Ifidi Pagli
aeci” in the opera “1 Pagliacci,”
and in That time was forced to
make more than thirty fresh starts
before a disk of pure and distinct j
tone was obtained. — Washington |

Ended the Agony.
The late Count de Lesseps never .
seemed to lose sight of the educa- \
lion of his children, even in the j
smallest detail. One morning at j
breakfast a beautiful Dresden tea
cup was br.oken. “Ah!” cried the
countess, “a disaster! Two more
of that sot will now be broken. It
always happens so.” ‘‘Are you so
superstitious,” asked the count, ‘‘as
really to believe that two more will
be broken ?” “I know it.” ‘‘Then
let us get it off our minds.” And.
taking two of the cups by the han
dles, he dashed them together. The
anger and dismay of the countess
proved conclusively that she had
not seriously held to her supersti
tion. It also loosed any hold the
absurd idea may have had on the i
minds of the children. ,
Insidious Humor.
A budding author who was mak
ing excursions into humor sent a
paragraph to the editor of a daily
paper. Not finding it printed with
in a reasonable time or hearing
from the editorial department, he
wrote about its welfare: “1 sent
you a joke about ten days ago. 1
have heard nothing respecting its
safe receipt and should be glad to
hear whether you have seen it.”
The editor’s reply was as follows:
“Your joke arrived safely, but up
to the present we have not seen it.”

A PRIZED RECORD.
Original Muatar Roll of "Captain A.
Lincoln'* Company."
None of the records of the treas
ury department is more highly
prized than the original muster roil
of “Captain A. Lincoln’s company”
in the handwriting of that famous
man himself. It was a voluntary
company organized by Lincoln in,
1832 to serve in the Black lfawk j
war. Lincoln as an army officer j
was the same painstaking, careful.
and orderly man that he was later
as president. He kept the mustei !
rolls of his company himself, and
nowhere can a neater and more
complete account be found.
Although more than eighty years ;
old now, the roll is wonderfully
well preserved. The paper is of
poor quality, but the handwriting
is still legible and distinct, not a
single error having been made in
the copy. The record* has been
bound together along the edges,
and where it has been folded con
stant handling has done consider
able damage to it.
The interesting document is
headed: “Muster Roll of Captain
A. Lincoln’s Company of the
Fourth Regiment of Mounted Vol
unteers, Commanded by Brigadier
General Samuel Whitesides. Mus
tered out of service of the United
States at the mouth of Fox river
May the 27th, 1832.”
The roll shows that Abraham
Lincoln was the captain and that
he was enrolled with the rest of the
command on April 21 at Rioidand,
Sangamon country. 111. At the foot
is Lincoln’s certificate as to the
correctness of the muster roll at the
time of muster out. The only other
handwriting on the document is
that of Nathaniel Bnekmaster, in
spector and muster officer, certify
ing to the accuracy of the roll of
Lincoln’s company.
• A Persistent Friend.
5Ir. George Weir, an English
actor, in his early days appeared
one night in the role of Hamlet in
an improvised theater at Stroud, in
Gloucestershire, and suffered much
embarrassment from the demon
strative attentions of an enthusias
tic former schoolfellow, who sat in
the front of the tent and kept up
a running comment on the perform
ance. ‘"That be Gargy Weir,” ex
claimed the admirer. “I knows
Gargy! I used to go to school
along wi’ he.” After many expostu
lations the interrupter was turned
out, and all went well until the
audience was hushed to deadly si
lence while Hamlet was going
through his soliloquy. Then sud
denly a si ill, small voice came clieer
inglv from the back row of seats,
“Garge. I be in again!”
Power of the Whale.
If tlit; whale knew its own power
it could easily destroy all the ma
chinery which the art of man could
devise for catching him. It would
only he necessary for him to swim
on the surface in a straight line in
order to break the thickest rope,
but instead, on being struck by the
harpoon, lie obeys a natural in
stinct, which, in this instance, be
trays him to liis death. Xot having
an air bladder, he can sink to the
lowest depths of the ocean, and,
mistaking the harpoon for the teeth
of a swordfish or a shark, he in
stantly descends, this being the
manner of freeing himself from
these enemies, who cannot bear the
pressure of a deep ocean, and from
descending and ascending in small j
space lie thus puts himself in the
power of the whaler.
Frederick the Great.
Frederick William 1., father of
Frederick the Great, was a most
brutal old fellow, treating his sou
almost as badly as they treat tho
exiles in Siberia. Unable to endure
such barbarity on the part of his
father, Frederick resolved to run
away and seek refuge at the court
of his uncle, George II. of Eng
land.* Heady to assist him in bis
attempt were his two young friends,
Lieutenants Katte and Keith. By
the imprudence of Katte the secret
was found out, and Frederick was
placed under arrest. Keith escap
ed, but Katte was tried by court
martial, sentenced to death and ex
ecuted. Frederick also was sentenc
ed to death and would have been
shot but for the earnest expostula
tions of the kings of Sweden and
Poland.
Before Going Elsewhere.
“Good morning, Mr. Highprice!”
jreeted tho friend, entering Mr.
Highprice’s furniture store. “I saw
your ad. in the newspaper saying
that you would be pleased to have
your friends call in on you before
spring elsewhere to buv, so I thought
I’d call.”
“Very good!” returned tho ap
preciative Mr. Highprice, rubbing
his hands. “Now, what can I sell
you ?”
“Nothing. I told you I was going
slaewliere.”—Pearson’*.
