a Business Boom.

There ought to be no better criterion
for Judging of the condition of trade than
by the number of commercial travellers
who daily visit the city. The registers at
the Harper and Rock Island houses show
larger arrivals of these transient guests
within the past four weeks than has been
known before in five years. Of late it
has been the rule with both these houses
that every room has been occupied

Something About speech and Song
fgo,tcmrorarv Reviaw1


Speech differs from song as walking does
from dancing speech may. Toe called Ih'
prose. song the poetry of vocal sound.
Mr.. Herbert Spencer has defined cong az
emotional Speech but this term might
with greater Justice be- used 20 designate
the hysterOeplleptic OratOry which threat

definite variations Of tone and regularity
Of time. But. just as there may be
"songs without words" so there may
he speech without voice. Us in whispering.
Sound. as we have already seen. is produced
in the larynx. but articulation, or the trans
formation Of meaningless sound INTO
speech, IS performed in the mouth; III
sleaking, therefore. tho two parts
work together. the larynx sending out a
stream of sound, and the mouth. Nv
means Of the tongue, cheeks, palate,
teeth. and lips, breaking 70 UP INTO
varOusly formed jets or words. Ia other
words, the larynx supplies the raw material
of sound which the mouth manufacture
into speech. Time, which - an essential
element Of song, is altogether dlsTegarded
IN tUtftAs WuAt Au' AA4N'A '"A' "a -
SO irregular as 70 defy notation, and are
filed up with number OF lntermedlate
sounds instead Of being sharply defined.
The voice glides about at its own sweet
will in speaking, obeying no rule what
ever. while in song 1t springs or drops
from one tone to the next over strictly
measured gaps. In singing short syllables
are heightened out and cease. IN fact, "a

dramatic singing and in recitatiye) the &C.

on the c0nsonants. In speaking only the
lower third Of the voice IS employed a. a
rule, while in singing the greatest eject y
generally produced. except IN the case OF
contraltos and BASES, by the use OF the
upper and middle notes. In speech the
range of tone, even IN the most excitablo
persons. hardly ever exceeds half an
octave; in singing the average compass
is two octayes. Singing tends 70 pre-
serve purity of language, the rules when
