Cultivate the snccinl Charm.

Every woman has some special charm,
which She should find out and cultivate.
1t may be her eyes, her mouth, her hair,
her brow, her form, her mind-or her
foot. It may consist in some trick Of
smiling, or Of dropping lid; some grace
of speech or of silence, OF laughter or
of motion. There are ugly beauties as
ugly and as irresistible as that famous
countess in Berlin OF whom Lola Montez
used to tell. She had dull eye, a rough
skin, dumpy form and pug nose.
But she had an exquisite voice and she
understood the difficult art of conyersa-

lay, and she cultivated her two gifts to

An Artificial Larynx.

Gussenbauer, of Prague, invented
an artificial larynx. through which
Billroth's first successful case was able
to breathe. and by means Of which
speaking could be done, and, strange
" enough. the words were Ineligible.
The artificial larynx consists Of tubes
with vibrating membranes within,
through which the air must pass to and
from the lungs. The natural voice
consists Of tones or sounds produced
by The vibrations RI the vocal cords in
the larynx but modified by the throat,
tongue. nose mouth, teeth and lips.
So it is easily understood that articula-
ton does not occur In the larynx. In
the artificial continuance the menu
branes are stretched so tightly that
when the air is passed between them
with some force tone is produced.
As these membranes can not be rem
dered tense or lax the tone is always
the same, an unnatural, monotonous
SQUAD, but the organs engaged in
articulation are able to produce the
necessary notifications in it to be un-
derstood as words with definite mean
