The Charm of a Sweet Voice.

one Of the most seductive charms in a
woman, and yet how seldom one Is
found. The majority of women do not
seem to realize this, and ones cars are
constantly being tortured by the sound
of loud, shrill voices. AT restau-

away my appetite and sets my nerves on
edge. At recent afternoon reception
a handsome lady entered and began to
talk. AS soon as she began every one
else stopped and listened. for her voice
was SO loud and harsh that it drowned

she said was worth listening to, but it

Interesting rriplots in Alabama.

The case of the Georgia triplets is moi
more interesting than one seen by thu
writer near Pine Apple, Wilcox county
Ala, somewhat less than a year ago.
Perhaps description of them would be
OF some interest. | went to see them
last August Q897), accompanied by DR..
w. r. Chapman, physician to their
mother. From him and the parents to-
gether | learned the following facts con-
corning the case: The mother is the off
spring of genuine negress and a white
man, which makes her mulatto. The
father is the son of q mulatto on one side
and an Indian on the other, thus fur.
nishing to one issue the blood of three
distinct races. In one of these triplets
are seen all the cardinal characteristic
features of the North American Indian;
IN another are seen the distinguishing
marks that indicate the negro race, while
IN tho third the admirable features of the
Caucasian predominant.
Their mother, at tho time of theil
birth, was AZ years old. 1 do not re-
member the exact age of the father, but
he is an old man; his hair is very gray,
nearly white. The children are now
nearly years old. They arc all well
formed, and were in excellent health
when found them. In commenting on
them the mother said; 81 tell you it's
big task to nurse three babies at one
time" But both parents seem to be
very proud of them. w. Graydon w.

The spring races have occupied the at
tention Of the capitals upper and lower
circles for the past three days. and the
sports and fashion models have paraded
the lawn before the grand stand as they
might at any race course in western
countries. Pool tickets made and lost
dollars for the investors, and jockeys
were accused of all the tricks they can
ever play. Horse racing was a favoritd
sport of the daimios in ancient days. and
the modern Japanese takes most readily
to the foreign methods of starting tim
ing, handicapping and pool selling. The
Uyeno- race course is one of the most
beautiful tracks in the way Of its land
scape setting, the course describing a
great oval in hollow between two billy
ridges, and the middle space being occd-
pied by lotus pond. The young leaves
are just thrusting up their first shallow
blue green saucers, but in August the
pond shows acres and acres of enormous
leaves, starred with pink or white bios.
SONS. A few weeks ago the cherry
trees lining the track were masses
of pink bloom, and if the races could
have been held then it would have been
q most aesthetic festival By the enthu,
MaSm manifested by some of the ticket
holders, it is possible that neither stately
lotus nor the fairy like cherry blossoms
could draw much attention while the
scrubby little China and Hokkaido ponies
were flying round the course with dimin-
utive japanese jockeys clinging to theff
backs.
A feature of one days entertainment
was the riding of six japanese ladies,
and natives and foreigners were equally
interested in the spectacle. Toxic is not
behind other modern cities in a rage for
riding schools, and in addition to the
number of army officers and men who
learned the foreign style abroad, every
official or well-to-do citizen now aspires
TO lessons in equestrianism. There Is
Furnishing riding school near Shiba
Park, and q number of Japanese ladies
belong to the classes. They wear the
foreign riding dress, and look well In
the Amazonian habit, although French
tailor would groan at the outlines of
their figures, that are largest at the
waist, have no hips and the most slop-
ing shoulders. The six Amazons who
bounced in the saddle around the Uyenc
race course the other afternoon mounted
In the paddock, and the mounting was
unique. The bettos, or grooms, clasped
their hands together like cradle the
Amazons stepped on with both feet, and
the bette slowly raised them straight up
In the air until they reached the level Of
the saddle The feat was entirely the
bettos, and the man who holds the 100.

balls hardly equals them.Tollio Cor

The fact that at the recent national

illustration of the wide diffusion of that
tongue. There we're gathered at Madras

spoke nine different languages, and the
English was the only medium through
which the proceedings could be salts

When YVES In Antwerp l met with
person who interested me very much.
was In the picture gallery there, and had
walked through long line Of rooms 10
to the end apartment. There saw upon
an easel picture nearly finished, which
was copy of a very fine painting upon
the wall. I was attracted by tho beauty
of this copy, which seemed to me as well
painted as the original close by 1t; and
was going away when saw a tall, ell
derby man come into the room, and take
his seat upon stool in front of the easel,
he wore large, loose slippers, and, to my
Rston1shnlent the first thing he did was
to kick them Off Then l noticed that
his stockings were cut of little below
the ;nstep, leaving his toes exposed.
leaning back on his stool, he lifted up
MS two long and active legs and took W
ais palette and maui stick with his left
foot, putting his great toe through the
hole in the palette, just as an ordinary
artist would use his thumb. Then he
took brush between the first and SEQ
end toes of his right foot, and touching
St to the paint on the palette, he began
20 work upon the painting upon the easel
This artist had no arms, having been
oorn without them, and he had painted
Ghe beautiful picture on the easel With
Sis toes. 1t was astonishing to see him
ssaning back with appraised legs and put
ing the delicate lights and shades into
ias eyes Of the portrait on his canvez
With brush held between his toes. Us
has long been known as most skilfu,
snd successful painter in certain branches
and his beautiful work is not only inter.
sstins in itself, but it points moral
which We can each think out for ouI.

Pedestrians who are compelled to walk

their complaints Of the nuisance caused by
the use of hose-pipes washing vehicles in

This is the constant practice of the livery
men. Negroes who hold thenozzles OF the

scattering and drenehing people as they
pass. The sidewalk is narrow and badly
paved at the best, and it is kept in a
wretched condition. Ladies going to or
coming from the Exchange Hotel have fire.
