THE VorcE.-One Of the most unerr-
ing indicators of breeding and character
is the voice. 1t is almost the first thing
which strikes us in q now acquaintance.
There are frank voices. whose CHEEKY
ring we can never doubt-there are
harsh voices, Of whose owners let us be-
ware how we need or ask mercy-there
are tender voices, which charm your
heart awav-there are cold, unsvmpa-
thetic voices to whose possessors you
eould never tell your secrets. The own
ers Of some hard voices try earnestly to
make them caressing and gentle, but
somehow the natural quality ALWAYS
strikes il some jangle OF discord. No
amount Of culture can 70 thoroughly
Disguise the truth that the first impulse
or the first accident shan not reveal it;
and vet in no way is culture or the want
Of it so quickly indicated as by the
voice. How old coii0Quialisins betray
the humble origin Of many great man.
He is not the less noble for having been
born in the humblest Of homes; but the
fact he would perhaps be weak enough
to conceal is revealed in the turns of
pronunciation, the simple, old-fashioned
er up, through life with him. Certain
voices soothe us, no matter what is the
subject of conversation; and others
CRATE on our nerves and set our teeth on
edge, even while they call us pet names.
A good voice is one of the best gifts for
physician, and its CHEEKY, encourag-
ing tones nelp on the patient more than
dozen doses of medicine.

COMPUTING INrEREsr.-Here is a
new rule for computing interest. 1t
is so simple and so true that every
banker, merchant or clerk, should
post it for reference. BY no other
arithmetical process can the desired
inflammation be obtained by so few
figures:
Six per cent.-Multiply anv given
number of dollars by the number of
davs of interest disired, separate the
right hand figure and divide by six
the result is the true interest on such
number of days at six per cent.
Eight per cent.--Multiply any Civ
en- amout by the number of days upon
which it is disired to ascertain the in
tcrest. and divide by 45. and the re-
suit will be the true interest Tor the
time required.
Ten per cent.-Multiply the same
as above and divide by SO, and the
result will show the interest at 10 per
cent.
