1t is a curious fact that the tones of
civilized races are louder and harsher
Than those used by savage tribes. In
deed, among people who are Classcd as
civilized, it will commonly be found that
the more highly cultivated, up TO a Ger
tain point, speak in the sharper tone. Of
course, when cultivation and refinement
have reached the point that the tones Of
h voice have become n matter of attcn-
ton and care, the rule no longer holds,
for then low, well mOdulated tones are
acquired as an accomplishment.
The philosophy OF this popularity
seems to be hat the same energy and
vigor which give certain races the leader
ship in advancement are accompanied by
unusual nervous strain, and we are well
aware how plainly nervousness is indi-
Gated in the tones. The people Of New
England speak in a sharper and shrillcr
voice than their cousins in old England.
They are also intense in feeling and
more eager in action.
That this difference is not due to the
influence Of climate is apparent upon u
comparison Of people with those Of
the dominion to the north and east of us.
1t is only as climate or other agencies
may affect the entire character of n peo-
pie that it has anything to do with the
tones in which they speak. Commonly,
as we approach the tropics, we find tic
voice lower and softer; but, then, this is
only in keeping with the whole life of
the people, which shows less of force and
earnestness than that of people who in
habit the temperate It suggests
that they are too indolent to raise their
voices.
The writer recalls that he has more
than once been asked by persons from
Brazil and from the Spanish countries Of
South America, who were new corners
among us, whether those whom they
overheard were really Seeding, for they
discovered no petulance nor i'll feeling
except in the tones Of the voice Such
questions are calculated to awaken profit
able reflections.-Youth's Companion.

The Glenrock Graphic contributes this
bit of information: 1T is reliably re-
ported that men recently sent here by the
Burlington & Missouri Railroad company
negotiated a purchase of the Searight or
Goose Egg ranch, for TOWNSHIP purposes,
the consideration being $1,000. 1t is said
that surveyors are now plating the town,
and that the Burlington & Missouri now
at work in the southern portion of the
territory will head for and pass through
tue mountain range near the newly pur-
chased ranch. In this event the Bur
lington & Missouri and Wyoming Central
will form a junction at said place. The
Goose Egg ranch is forty and one-half
miles from and west of Glcnrock."

THE strike of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe engineers adds a new and SER
ious complication. The reason given for
the strike is that the Santa Fe continued
to handle Burlington freight. So far the
entire movement has been adroitly man
aged and no disturbances have occurred to
influence public opinion against the en-
g%ineers. The sentiment is rapidly gain
ing ground that the questions in dispute
between the Burlington and ITS. employees
should be submitted to arbitration. At
present neither side 10 in the least dis
posed to recede from its original position
and the strike may be prolonged to a
r%uinous length. Arbitration, there
fore, seems the best method OF bringing
the strike to a speedy and satisfactory ter
mination.

1t was not until last year that the
Aioors would permit any examination of
the Cliff dwellings which have long been
known to exist some days journey south
west Of the city OF Morocco. This strange
city of the a Y jewellers is almost exactly
like some of those in New Mexico and
other territories which a~rchmologists have
explored. The dwellings were dug out of
tho solid rock and many Of them are over
2l) feet above the bottom of tho valley.
The face Of the cliff is in places perpen-
d~icular, and it is believed that the troglo-
dytes could have reached their dwellings
only with the aid Of rope ladders. Some
II the dwellings contain three rooms, the

Chtl within n few years only n small

Titles, wealthy people began to use them
Tor decorative purposes. Elegant screens,
some with the feathers spread thinly on a
cloth surface, and others, which were
more costly, with the feathers closely
scwed together; fans with silver handles,

Of the brilliant plumugc. The feathers
were even used in the decoration of walls,

Tho Dog wnshIng prnfc.s Ior.

There nrc all sorts of ways of earning n
living in n big city. One of the most re-
cent that has come to my notice Is that of
dog washing. There is n Frcuclmnn here
who makes II comfortable income by
washing dogs. He has II graded scale of
prices, and is rs busy rs he can be all day
fong. For large dogs, st. Demands,
mastifTs and Ncwfoundlnnds, he gets 81
for each wishing; for settlers, coilics and
dogs of that size, seventy-five cents; and
for pups md other toy dogs, fifty cents.
He has his own towels, combs and
brushes, but the owners OF the dogs sup
ply the soap. AS most dog soaps are eX-
pensivc, and ns 1t takes nearly n cake to
wash Il st. Bernard, his is a wise ar
rangemcut. lie also makes n speciality
of destroying ilcas on dogs, but for this
he asks n special price, as it is n tedious
job, for Ec catches them flea by flea, and,
as every one knows, this is no mean task.
A few years & people not only did not
keep dogs TO the extent they do now, but
they did not take the same care OF them,
aud there were very few who would have
spent fifty cents or 81 n week for dog
wusi ing. Now there are any number
who hrc very glad TO get it lone for the
price. In the eyes of a dog lover there is
nothing more melancholy than an un,
cared for dog.--New York Letter.

While, to make q great captain. all the
mental and physical Qualities must exist
IN the greatest possible strength, varieties
Of these in combination, 10 Il greater or

erals Of less or greater reputc in the

generals are only brilliant upon the battle

Influenced many Of their victories. Many

Of battle highly developed in him. as was
couspiouously shown at the battle of Fort

genius to succeed in these efforts. Ma
