CurlOSlties OF the Voice.

Dr. Delaunay, In u paper read recently
beiorc the French Academy Of Mel;cius
gives some details OF the history and lin its
Of the human voice, which he obtained at.
ter much patient research. According to
the doctor, the primitive inhabitants If Eu.
rope were all tenors their descendants Of tn.
present day are baritones, and their grand.
sons will have sc,ni.bass voices.
Looking at different races he calls at.
tcntion to the fact that inferior races, sucl,
As the negroes. etc, have higher voices
than white men. The voice has also q
tendency to deepen with age-ehe teno,
Of sixteen becoming the baritone at twenty.
five and hasso At thirty.6vc. Fair com.
plex'oncd people have much higher voice.
than the dark skinned, the former being Us.
ually sopranos or tenoss, the latter central.
tos or bassos.
Ienors, says the doctor, are slcndcrly
built and thin; bassos are stoatly made and
corpulent. This may be 30, as a rule, bu,
one Is inclined to think there arc more ex.
ccpt'oas u 1t than are necessary to prove
the rule. The same remark applies u, the
asser''o" that thoughtful, intelligent men
have always dccp.toncd voice; whereas
trsaers, and frivolous persons have sol,
weak voices.
The tones Of the voice are pcrceptibl,
higher, he points out, before than after ,
meal which Is the reason why teners dine
early !" order that the voice may not sui;

to remind his learned audience that singer,

ing with deeper tint in the monday sun
shine, and now closing its many blossoms
in geacefal repose as the evening shades
prevail. Dandelions as a passing freak OF
fashion, may lend new charm to the CON-
plexion and add grace to the fair form OF
the wearers OF the weed, but they can new
er, under any other conditions, be as charm
ing to the lover Of floral beauty, as when In
lavish profusion their golden circlets CLEAN
among the emerald grass blades in the
freshness Of spring growth.

The Elephants Surgeon.

The elephant house has furnished Mr..
Bartlett with scveral patients on which to
exercise his surgical skill. One Of the In.
dian elephants some time since had the
misfortune to wrench of portion Of its
trunk, which had got caught in moose Of
rope, aud the largest African specimen,
whose huge proportions are we'll known to
the frcquenters OF the Gardens, met with
an accident by which its tu.ks were broken
oil; the stumps subsequently, grew into the
cheeks, causing It excruciating pain, and
necessitating an immediate remedy. The
intrepid superintendent undertook to per.
form the dclicete operation aud relieve the
poor beast. Having prepared a gigantic
hook shaped lancet, he bandaged the crca.
lures eyes and proceeded to do his task.
1t Was AN anxious moment, for there was
absolutely nothing to prevent the animal
from killing his medical attendants upon
the spot, and to rely upon the common sense
and good nature Of creature weighing
man. to,s aad suffering from facial ab.
scesscs and neuralgia argues, to say the
least Of It, the possession OF considerable
nerve. But Mr.. Bartlett did not hesitate.
and climbing up within reach OF his ma.
tent l'c lancrd the swollen check. Ills
courage was rewarded, for the beast at once
perceived that the proceedings were for his
good, and submitted quietly. The next morn.
lug, when they came to operate upon the
other side, the elephant turned hia check
without being hidden, and endured the
second h'cision without a sroan.-Satur.lay

With i'npunity. The south says the doc.
tor, furnishes the tcnors, the north the
bassos; in proof which he adds that the ina.
jority Of French tenors in vogue come
from the south Of France, while the bassos
belong to the northern department.
