AbOuttlIe Human Voice.

Startling revelations about the human
voice have been made by French physician.
Careful experiments convinced him that both
among animals and men the voice is more
sharp and piercing in the lower than in the
higher species or races. The ancients also
(he says had more shrill voices than later
generations-a fact which he probably ascer-
tanned by means of the phonograph used by
Homer and dug mp somewhere by Schilie-
mann. II we add to these facts the con-
sideration that in the individual, too. the
voice gradually changes from soprano to
tenor and through baritone to bass, it would
follow as a corollary Of the Darwinian law
that the development Of the individual Is
recapitulation of that of the race that In
course of time tenors and sopranos are des-
tined to disappear altogether, leaving only
altos and bases. Right here comes in the
use of the phonograpb. The fact surviving
| sopranos and tenors will doubtless be en-
ployed by government to devote their life to
singing into the phonograph for the benefit
| Of future generations, who would otherwise
be deprived Of the luxury. And thus Edi-
sons name will be cleared Of the awful i'm
putation that in the phonopraph he invented
mere scientific toy. But our Frenchman
has some further observations to make.
| Blondes, he saws, usually have higher voices
than bruneites, which is borne ont by the OBJ
servation that sopranos and tenors are usual
| Iy of light. basses and altos Of dark COM
plexion. Among earnest and intelligent
f,lks bass voice prevail while the frivolous

| high than after dinner. circumstance
which compels tenors to dine early, in order
to preserve the high pitch Of their voice.
Finally, the use Of spirituous liquors leads
| to congestion of the larynx. wherefore
| tenors must be sparing in their use Of them,
hie basses may drink and cat as much AZ
th,y please. Temerance people should take
note of this, and in future persecute only

Whi Q or brOwn Bread.

The earliest agitator in the matter observed two years ago, when travelling in Sicily, that the laboring classes there live healthily and work well upon vegetable diet, the staple article of which is bread made of we'll ground wheat meal. Nor are the Sicilians by any means the only people so supported. s'The
 Hindus of the Northwestern Province can walk fifty or sixty miles day with no other food than 'chapatties,' made of the whole neal. with a little 'ghee' or GaIam butter D Turkish and Arab porters capable of carry ing burdens of from four hundred to six hun dred pounds live on bread only, and the oc. casional addition of fruit and vegetables The Spartans and Romans of old time lived lived their vigorous lives on bread made of wheaton meal. In northern as well as south ern climates we find the same thing In Rus sia, Sweden, Scotland and elsewhere the poor live chiefly on bread, always made from some whole meal-wheat oats or ryes and the peasantry, of whatever climate, so fed, always compare favorably with our South English poor, who, in conditions of lndigence precluding them from obtaining sufficient meat food, starve, if not to death, at least into sickliness, on the white bread it is our modern English habit to pre- fer. White bread alone will not support animal life. Bread made of the whole grain will. The experiment has been tried in France by Magendie. Dogs were the sub- jects of the trial, and every care was taken to equalize all the other conditions-to pro- portion the quantity of food given in each case to the weight of the animal experi- mented upon, and so forth. The result was sufficiently marked. At the end of 40 days the dogs fed solely on white bread died. The dogs fed on bread made of the whole grain remained vigorous, healthy, and well nour- lshed. Whether an originally healthy human being, if fed solely on white bread for 40 days, would likewise die at the end of that time remains, of course, question. The tenacity of life ex- hibited by Magendie's dogs will not evident ly bear comparison with that of the scarcely yet forgotten 40 days wonder, Dr. Tanner. Nor is it by any means asserted that any giv- en man or any given child would certainly re- main in vigorous health for an indefinite length of time if fed solely on wheat-meal bread. Not single piece of strong evidence has been produced, however, to show that he would not and in the only case in which whole-meal bread has been tried with any persistency or on any considerable scale among us-to wit, in jails-facts go to show such bread to be an excellent and wholesome substitute for more costly forms of nutritious

substltute for Black Walnut.
From the Chicago Timss.]

There seems to be great alarm among the manufacturers of furniture over the disap-
 pearance of black walnut lumber. It was
 once very plenty in all the western and south
 western States and in Canada, and was freely used for fuel and fences. It suddenly be- came fashionable for making furniture, and finishing in houses, and the fashion continu- ed longer than the supply. It is now difficult to obtain it except at very high prices. The
 Toronto Globe thinks the best substitute for
 it may be found in the black birch which abounds in all parts of Canada. It says !:
 '.Black birch is close grained, handsome wood, and can easily be stained to resemble walnut exactly It is just as easy to work,
 and is suitable for nearly all purposes to which walnut is at present applied. Birch is much the same color as cherry but, as the latter wood is so scarce, and consequently so dear, the dealers do not take much stock in it. It is with difficulty that cherry wood can
 be obtained at $50 thousand feet, while birch wood can be purchased at any saw mill for $15. When stained 1t Is almost impossi- ble to distinguish the difference between it and walnut, it is susceptible of a beautiful polish equal to any wood now in use in the manufacture of furniture. When it became known throughout the United States and Canada that the supply of walnut was almost exhausted, the dealers set their brains to work to find substitute ;sand now, since birch has been thought of, the price is slow ly advancing In the forests throughout Ontario birch grows in abundance, especially if the land be not too boggy. There is a great difference in the wood of different sec- tions. Where the land is high and dry the wood is firm and clear, but if the land where the wood is grown be low and wet the wood has tendency to be soft and of 8 bluish col or. In the northern regions it can be found in great abundance and, as the tree grows to such size, little trouble is experienced in procuring large quantity. The forests of the Manitoulin islands abound with it, as well as those of the Peterborough and Halibur- ton districts. The Muskoka district also contains plentiful supply. During the past few years large quantities of this wood have at a low figure, but this will be stopped when it is known that 1t is to take the place of wal nut in the near future. It is very easily de

NOT ALL THE CRAVE,

To-day tour Mother Earth'' will receive back to her kindly bosom the poor, worn, disigured body of the slain President while a nation weeps and the whole civilized world, so to speak, gathers around the grave. It is consoling to think that it is only the body which is to be buried. The bullet of the as- sassin could not send into the grave the noble and pious soul that inspired it's victims ac- tive career and enabled him, as Minister Low ell so aptly expressed it, to ''die well daily for eleven weeks" It did not destroy the grand life which had already been lived. It did not send to burial the lessons of that life, which will remain to inspire and elevate so long as this country has history, and it did not lessen the honor in which future genera tions will hold him who by virtue of his char acter and ability rose from the humblest place to the highest office in the gift of a free people, an office second to none on earth. Thank God, we say, for what the assassin's bullet could not do, and that though President Garfield is dead he yet speaks.
