Nature and Treatment of Felons.

The SO called feion Is an acute inflamma-
ton of the sheaths of the tendons or of the
coverings of the bone. 1t is ACCOMPANIED
with very severe throbbing pain, great
tenderness, and often much constitutional
disturbance, as indicated by fever and rapid
pulse. This affection is not only very dis
tressing, but is also attended with some
danger In persons debilitated and sickiy,

American and European Voices.

It is a well known fact that the American
voice is pitched higher than that of the Eu-
ropean; and it is said the pitch has been
gradually rising during the past century
Indeed, our musical instruments are keyed
higher than those of European manufacture.
But don't let any woman deceive herself
with the thought that there are good and
sufficient reasons for raising her voice higher
in conversation. It is one of the regrettable
things about American women that they can
be recognized by their shrill voices in the
most mixed and cosmopolitan companies in
any city or country of the world
1t is a marvel to English women that
American women talk so loud and have such
resonant voices. A low voice is not only
counted q sweet thing in woman but one
certainly expected in lady. 1t is virtue
to be cultivated, if one has it not, and in
time it will abide with her who wooes gentle
speech. Some women have laryn1 that
seems lined with velvet, SO softly fall all the
words from their lips; not that there is any
muffied sound to their clear consonants and
open vowels, but rather atrounder, richer
swell and fall to each pulsing phrase than
thin Tipped, nervous, emphatic women arc
ever capable Of The latter, if perchance
they assume the grace Of low speech, take
sort of sibilant whispering tone, more irri-
tating than their natural high strain. With
the low, rich voice goes a musical, genial
laugh, and smile that lights the eyes as it
curls away from the GpS-St. Louis Repub-
lie.

Growing Cp In Corsets.

The assertion has an odd sound, but it is
probably true, that lot ten women out of a
hundred have the faintest conception Of
what it would feel like to have a natural, un-
fettered body. Within a few weeks the
writer has asked twenty-eight women at
what age they first put on corsets Thirteen
of them said they could not remember time
when they had not worn them. Their eerli-
est recollections Of themselves and their
dress included corset waists and corset lac
ings. One New York physician estimates
that city girls are corseted on an average
when years old. Another said that her in
quiries would lead her to put it at 9 years.
Women grow up in corsets and harmonic
with their environments. They put on cor
sets in the morning before they do their
shoes, and would not think they could comb
their hair without stays. They hive in cor
sets, and would be thoroughly uncomfort-
able without them. They haven't developed
muscles to get along without support. And
yet tho corset might be made, at least, less
obtrusive. 1t used to be the proper thing to
wear an under bodice of shape and thickness
to hide or disguise the outline of the contri-
nothing of the sort seems to be thought nee
essary. The corset is as prominent as if pa
raded outside the gown. The fashion plate
marks its top and its bottom distinctly, and
as for the woman herself, look at the next
one you see on q horse car and you can sketch
her corset very accurately on the margin of
your newspaper.-New York Mail aud Ex-

In q recent report Of the German statisti-
cal bureau, the director expresses the opin-
ion that population has not overcrowded any
part of the empire, and that its resources,
properly husbanded, are adequate to the sup
port OF an enormous addition TO Gerinany's
5000, 900 people. 1. is inaccurate to say that
any part of Europe is overpopulated When
the most Of Germany was succession Of
barren plains, and large part Of Holland
was under water, those countries could have
supported only small part OF the people who
now inhabit them 1t would have been q
ease. however, not of excessive population,
but almost wholly undeveloped resources.
SO long as human ingenuity can add to the
productiveness of country it should not be
called overpopulated
Mr. Cadell Of the Geological Survey OF
Scotland has recently shown that while the
British public complain OF overpopulation,
and look with favor upon schemes Of state
aided emigration, a vast deal can yet be done
to enrich soils, reclaim waste lands, develop
new industries and improve methods Of hus-
bandry, all of which would add greatly to
the resources of their little corner of the

Dutch are still recla1nling from the sea an
average of 800 acres year, and Hollands
resources are more than keeping pace with
its increase Of population Though there are
343 people to the square mile, tho Dutch live
in comfort and few en1igrate.
China proper has only a little over one
third of our area, though her population is
six times as great as ours; and yet, though
the industrial knowledge of the Chinese is in
many respects extremely primitive, China is
far from being overpopuiated. The Chinese
treat their fields like gardens, gather fertiliz-
ers from every conceivable source, sow their
grain in burrows, and hoe it as we do corn,
wasting nothing in the processes of sowing
and harvesting Give the Chinese modern
agricultural implements, enlarge their scien-
tifc and technical knowledge, and with their
consumnate painstaldnga still greater popu-
la.ion may live within their borders

Unhappiness Among the Married.

The Edinburgh Review takes a view quite
contrary to Walter Besant. It says that,
however we may try to conceal it, there is
vast amount of unhappiness among married
people of all classes The fault is not with
the men nor with the women, but it is in
volved in our social system. 1t obliges her
to sell herself to Inan-that is, secure hus-
band before her salable commodities, youth
and beauty, are gone from her. As there are
more women than men the woman has prac-
tically no choice, and some women no chance.
even to sell themselves. The remedy, it is
suggested, lies in giving the woman work and
money-in other words, equality of position.
Probably the instincts Of the sexes are by no
means SO easily disposed Of as this writer
supposes. establishments.
