another party of the same general ap-

..Smart? He's the smartest drummer

nodded his head at this very happy il

conversation was ended, when lone

An alarm ng state of affairs exists
in Hartville, wy. t., and many de ds
of violenc i, of which the outside world
knows little or nothing, have been com
mitted there of late. Cowboys and
other rougLs keep peaceably disposed
citizens in a constant state of terror by
discha G ng their pi tolls promiscuously
in the street, compelling citizens to
dance in the highways, shooting at
door knobs, wagon wheels and other
oh ects, and en- 0, ing themselves gen
orally about town in that lawless fash
ion which they are proud to call pecul-
iarly their own. The trouble arose out
OF the question whether Hartville should
or should not have a school house. A
committee of tizens decided in the af-
firmative, but the cowboys say no.

The Physiology Of Talking Through the
Nose.

"Ta7kin9 ttr0 oh the nose" when a
person has cold is in reality talking
with the nose so stopped that less rath-
er than more than the usual quantity of
vibrating air can pass through the nasal
cavity. In producing certa n articulate
sounds those which oc ur in English
are represented by m, 10 and ng-all the
vo, al air escapes from the pharynx by
the nose. The nasal air-passa ehas the
general form of q resonator, and there
can be no doubt but that it has cor
RESPONDING influence, and that the
sounds produced by the air passing
through it are strengthened by its reso-
nance. The larger the ma al cavity the
more power ul the resonance, and con-
sequently the re enforcement expert
enced DV the tone. Sounds uttered
with the nasal resonance, part cularly
the nasal vowels, are fuller and more
ample than the same SO nds when
strengthened by the resonance of the
cavity of the mouth. and it is for this
reason that third-rate tragic actors like
to give nasal re onance to all the VOW
els in the pathetic speeches of the he
role parts. The resonance of the nasal
cavity plays part also in the formation
of non-nasal ticulate sounds; then,
however, appearing only as re-en-
forcement of the resonance of the cavi-
ty of the mouth. The directly excited
nasal resonance sometimes plays an i'm
mediate part in the formation of all ar
ticulate sounds, producing the nasal
''twang" But the general conception
Of this mode OF speaking is by no means
scientifically correct, every spec es of
pronunciation in which the nasal ele-
ment asserts itself with undue promi-
nence being called talking through the
nose" 1t may, however, arise from
two unlike causes; firstly, from stop
page of the nasal cavity; or, secondly,
from incomplete closure of the poster or
entrance to this cavity. If the nasal
cavity is obstructed, as when a child's
nose is pinched and he is told to say
pudding" an accumulation Of air
forms in the back of the mouth, being
unable to escape through the nose. and
in the end is obliged to find exit tn ough
the mouth. The resonance is also al
tered, and the nasal sounds are, there
fore, 70 med imperfectly and falsely.
The same disturbance is produced by
the partial obstruct on of the nasal cav
ity which is experienced from the swol-
len condition of the mucous membrane,
and from its increased secretion, during
a "cold in the head. -. A. Feanald,
