A Woman's Voice.

From the Philadelphia Transcript
People are agreed rs to the ~desirability
of a low voice in woman. There was a
time when the demand was greater
than the supply, but such is certainly
not the case now. In primitive days,
when the girls called the cows, or con-
versed with their neighbors across ten
acre fields, there was a demand for
good strong voices, and the conyers-
ational keynote was naturally a trile
higher. Civilization of the ordinary
standard had a terrific struggle with
the gushing laughter and cleartoned
voices of the girls of the succeeding
period. 1t was not much of a trick to
jump a girl out of home-spun simplicity
nto'fashionable finery, but it wa like
pulling teeth to tone down her laugh
and her voice. But poets sang of the
charm of a low voice in woman. The
young woman of to-day is never satis-
fed with halfway measures, or with in
complete results. One young woman
finds another admired because of her
soft tones, Ambitious to excel, and
determined to Guido, she brings her
naturally sweet voice down in the

lfron the 81. Louis GlODe-l Democrat
After a careful study of the varied
aspects of the present so-called two
man question:" convincing proof is
found that the most serious obstacle in
the way of all progress is the absurdly
false pride in regard to woman's in
dustries and social relations. We are
certainly far removed from a gen
uine independence so long rs oma
is judged by her clothes and her occup-
alton instead of her heart, brain and
womanhood. 1t is the glory of Ameri-
can manhood that 4 Robert Collyer can
point with pride to his anvil, or the
title of railsplitter be worn as a regal
one by Il great, noble man, Lincoln,
and it is a shame upon American wo-
manhood that the very women who
will crowd with eager haste to laurel
the "beloved Collyer'' or the idolized
Lincoln, will shrink back and whisper
of some woman poet or philanthopist
as though she deserved eternal disgrace.
'tDid you know she was a milliner in
her young daysp" or, 81 have heard
that Mrs. Kindheart's mother kept
boarders;'' and perhaps these same wo-
men are cooking and scrubbing and
millinering and tailoring in their own
homes. Nothing has so forcibly port
rayed the almost universal prevalence of
moral weakness in this direction as the
miserable subterfuges to which people
have resorted during the recent financial
distress. The family income was re-
duced, through no ones fault but the
shrinkage in values, ETC., expenses
must be lessened, the mother and
daughter bravely decide to discharge
the cook and do the work themselves"
but they have not the bravery to admit
this fact to the world; and so we hear
from the mother that she had ''liyed in
the dirt just as long as she could endure
it, and that ''she and theengirls had
fdeterminedt to seei il they couldn't have
n clean home for once" And the fa-
ther is not brave enough to ever com
pliment this attempt of his wife and
daughters to come to his rescue, and
when a friend asks, "Any one sick at
your house; have not noticed your wife
and daughters out for some time?''
there is an unmanly blush and explain
ation-something like the following:
"Well, no; the fact is our girls were
growing up without any practical
knowledge of housekeeping, and my
wife has decided to give them a few
lessons" Matters grow worse. The
fathers burdens grow heavier to
bear. and then in apologize whispers it
is Miss--is so anxious to keep up her
music and so fond of teaching that
she could, with a proper amount of urg-
ing, be induced to take n few music
scholars; then possibly, after a while,
another friend is in snch delicate health
that she needs exercise, and hence is
persuaded to take an agency of some
kind; mot, of course, for the sake of
making money, but as a kind of health

THE ''fgeezing out" of yellow fever
in ships, for which process congress re-
Gently passed a bill appropriating $780,
600, to be expended in a "refrigerating
ship" has proved a dead failure in one
dist inguished instance, only a week or
two ago. When at sea, on the 22d of
March, two cases of yellow fever broke
out among a healthy crew on board the
United States steamer Plymouth. At
the time she was in latitude % degrees
north, neal Bermuda. Last fall sever
al fatal cases had occurred on board,
but during the winter she lay at Bos-
ton, emptied, exposed to a freezing tenn
perature freq uently below zero, and
was, besides, fumigated several times.
That new cases of this distemper should
occur on this vessel, so soon after leay-
ing port, without unusual exposure, is
not only puzzling but discouraging
to those who believe in the efficacy of
''refrigerating'' as a successful disinfect-
ant.

DISTRESSED MONOTONE.
She puts a voice that every one admires
voice having in it not the remotest
suggestion of vulgarity, but as nature
made it, full of beautiful surprises and
sweet intonations-she puts this gallop-
ing, dancing, musical voice into a
straight-jacket, and marches at a snail's
pace along the dead level of an exas-
perating monotone. There is no OPP
portunity for delicate shading, no
chance for emphasis, no Don for ex-
preston. There is no charm in this
sort of n low voice. If this young NO
man is a society leader she will have
imitators, and among these there will
be many who will not hesitate to give
the screw another turn, and bring the
voice down still lower. They will hold
in the natural volume with studious
care, and talk with bated breath and a
languid air, in a tone more like a hoarse
whisper or n cramped, squeezed falsetto
than the natural voice of woman Such
women al not converse, because con-
versation involves modulation, en-
phasis and an ability to express every
shade of meaning and sentiment. A
woman's words, to be attractive,
MUST BE UNDERSTOOD,
and a woman's voice, to be charming,
must have all the elements That attract
and please. Men may listen to the
raspiDg monotone or the hoarse whisper
of a woman in tolerance, but they will
leave her presence depressed, not to say
ex~asperated. Peculiar influences often
cause graceful styles Of dress to degen-
crate into whimsical follies. Exagger-
ated sentimentalism often brings good,
true sentiment into disrepute. So mis-
taken notions as to what constitutes a
low voice may cause the charm of a low

Women's voices are attuned naturally
to the atmosphere of home. They carry
in them, or should carry, all the as
sociations of refined homes and should
suggest all the graces of womanly
minds. There is no danger that Il low
voice in woman will lose its charm,
unless it is through abnse in the name
of refinement or something else. Young
girls should be made to see the differ
nee between the voice of a cultivated
woman and the voice of an affected one;
between the graces of the one and the
distortions on the other, between the
presence of meditation, emphasis and
tone, and the absence of all.

DO Forest. Control nainfa,1r

This is a bad summer for those persons
who maintain that forests control rainfall. In
Central New York, which is within easy dis
lance so far as clouds are concerned, from
the Adirondack Wilderness there has been
great drouth, yet hundreds and thousands of
acres Of forest in the John Brown tract have
never echoed to the sound of the AK, and &C
cording to the theory, the surrounding coun-
try should have an equable and sufficient
rainfall yearly. Then it is another ugly fact
ugly for the theOry-that here in New Eng
land, where forests have been systematically
leveled for years, rains have been abundant
not only this year, but for several years past
1t is true that more land is Just now growing
up to forest hereabouts than for long time
but of course it will not be claimed that
young sprouts control rainfall.
We suspect that this theory of the seien-
fists is true only to a limited extent. Does
the latest science confirm it 7 The special
study of the weather which the meteorolo-
gists have made within a few years aided by
daily Geographic reports from many places,
giving the range of the thermometer, barom-
eter, the direction and force of the wind, etc,
show that there are fewer local storms than
were formerly supposed, unless storms are TO
be called local" which extend several hun
dred miles, i'll distinction from the general
ones which sometimes sweep over almost the
entire breadth of the country. OF the latter
there is no uncomfortable number, and to
claim that forests regulate them in any way
seems to us the height of absurdty
So closely have the habits of storms been
studied and so nicely have their movements
been fOreseen that the New York Herald has
repeatedly cabled to London, 5000 miles
away, warnings of storms which, in the
course of two or three days have arrived there
precisely as predicted. What have the for
ests in England to do with these storms, and
what are the supporters of the rest-control-
ling doctrine going to do with these facts p

The Engliah Farmers.

Two-thirds of the soil in England and
Wales is owned by 0,2O0 persons, two-thirds
i'll Scotland by $50 persons, and two-thirds in
Ireland by 1912 persons. 1t is needless to
say that nearly all the land in these countries
is farmed by tenants. The terms upon which
leases are taken it is not now our purpose to
speak of, but to mention the fact that the
English farmers are greatly embarrassed
They cannot pay their rents. What with
bad harvests, depression in trade, and compe-
tition with foreign countries, chiefly our own.
their business is nearly ruined Almost every
thing in the shape of food is now shipped
across the water cattle, dres sed beef, sheep,
swine pork, lard, butter and cheese, fruits,
besides "a multitude of other articles. are float
ing across the Atlantic in constant stream.
The aggregate, both in quantity and money
value, is immense, and the tenant-farmer
looks on with amazement and almost with de-
spair. So extensive has the distress become
that royal commission has recently been ap-
pointed by parliament to inquire into it and
report on the same. 1t is well known that the
governing power in England believes devout-
ly in free trade, and anything like protective
duties are secuted as a relic of the dark ages
In the discussion in parliament, when the COM
mission was appointed, it was more than hint
ed that return to protection might be neces-
sary to save their agricultural interests. The
COuutIy was belnB llOOutu Will prOuuClS from
other nations, which were sold at lower prices
than the English farmer could raise them for
In fact it was intimated that he could not
compete successfully with the foreign pro-
Queer if his rent was given him. Another
remedy was alluded to as among the POSSIBLE
tiles of the future, and that was the breaking
up of the landed monopoly and having the
soil titled by those who owned it. 1t is not
probable, however, that England is ready
either for protection, or so radical a change in
her form of government as would follow the
surrendering of her titled estates For the
present some other remedy for the evil com
planned of must be found, if possible
There are two points in which the present
condition of the English farmer becomes of
interest to our own people. One is, the prob
able effect of a tariff, should one be placed on
our farm products, and the other is how far
the present distress may induce emigration to
this country. Since one of the principal
causes of the present distress is our cheap
lands, our fine climate and productive soil
and unrivalled facilities for transportation, the
English farmer might naturally turn his steps
to country which offered him so many ad-
vantages to improve his condition; and it
would not be surprising if another season
brought with it a larger emigration than has
been seen for years. Woodstock STANDARD.
