and wait minute. will lei you know
my decision SOON"
| That same room which had received
visits from the boys you have heard of,
among some others.
Jamie looked about him with admir-
ing eyes, but made no attempt to touch
either books or bottles. A magazine
which Frank Dennis had dropped on
the floor he stopped and carefully re-
stored to its place. He picked up a
stray bit of paper, and looking about
him for the waste-basket, stepped light
ly toward it and dropped in the paper.
Next he espied the glass fruit dish dam
gerously near the edge of the table,
drawn there by Emory Haines. After
apparently rejecting for minute and
measuring with his eye the probability
that jar from the opening door might
send the dish to the floor, Jamie step
ped to it and with most careful hand
set it back in ths middle of the table
where it belonged. Then turned away
and gave his attention to some little
children whom he could see from the
window
''i've got the place, motherT' this
same Jamie shouted gleefulIy, half an
hour afterwards. Don't you think, 1
got the place! l was awful late, and
didn't expect it at all; for l met Joe
Smith, and he said he and lots of other
boys had been there, and that Mr.. Dor
rance was a particular old fogy. and
he didn't believe he wanted any boy at
all. But | thought he was nice and
pleasant. He said he felt sure / was
an honest. careful boy. who would take
care of his property and do the best 1
could, But I'm sure / don't know
what made him think so, mother;
wasn't there but few minutes, and he
didn't ask me many questions. l don't
think he knows any thing about me-"
But Jamie was mistaken; and so were
the others.
The fact was, there was a tell-tale
mirror in the room where all the boys
had waited. 1t was so arranged that
although the boys supposed themselves
out of sight of every body, each
movement that they made could be dis
tinctly seen by Mr.. Dorrance himself
from the back parlor, where he went to
watch the effect of his experiment
For" said he to himself. elf boy
can't be trusted alone in a strange
house for five minutes, don't want
him in my employ"
The thought that stays with me is.
would not those boys have acted very
differently if they had known that the
eyes of the master OF the house were
on them?-Pansy.

arising from a mans mind, or body, or

"This? Why this is only your wife's
selfishness and laziness in another
form"
Then her story had to be told. Their
com bined afforts still fell short Of the
required sum, but she triumphantly
produced the deed to the Western land.
For a season there were caresses and
even tears of mutual love and thank
fulness.
''My precious wifer' he fervently

Western deed, and Henry Woodford

five hundred dollars jumped to thou
sands in sudden boom, he bought a
neat home. Margaret, the valued
friend, supplied their table with
produce from the farm. Eleanor WAS
never quite content till Harry had
looked up her two maligners and
brought them to the home where she
presided, and which her painfully
awakened energy had helped to buy.
In time she told her secret, and
thanked them for that ten minutes

THE HUMAN VOICE.
Its Essential Elements Described by g
MorrcI Mackenzie.

Its Essential Elements Described by Sir
Morrcu Mackenzie.
There are three essential elements
in its production: first, the air blast,
or motive power; second, the vibrat-
ing. reed, or tone-producing apparatus;
third, the sounding board, or reinforc-
ing cavities. These, to parody we'll
worn physiological metaphor. are the
three legs of the tripod of voice. De-
feet in or mismanagement of any one
of them is fatal to the musical efficiency
of the vocal instrument The air sup
piled by the lungs is nodded into sound
by the innumerable nimble little fin
gers of the muscles which move the
vocal cords. These fingers (Which
prosaic anatomists call fibers) besides
being almost countless in number, are
arranged in so intricate a manner that
every one who dissects them finds out
something new, which, it lis need
less to say, is forthwith given
to the world as an important discov-
cry. 1t is probable that no amount OF
macerating or tearing out with pincers
will ever bring us to "fnality" in this
matter; nor do l think it would profit
us much as regards our knowledge of
the physiology of the voice if the last
tiny fibrilla of muscle were run to
earth. The mind can form no clearer
notions of the infinitely little than of
h - inf oil fho mi
croscopic movements of these tiny
strips OF contractile tissue would be
no more real to us than the figures
which express the rapidity of light
and the vast stretches of astronomical
time and distance. Moreover, no two
persons have their laryngeal muscles
arranged in precisely the same man
ner, circumstance which of itself
goes a considerable way toward ex-
planning the almost infinite variety of
human voices The wonderful diver
sity of expression in faces which
structurally, es we may say, are almost
identical, is due to minute differences
in the arrangement Of the little
muscles which move the skin. The
same thing holds good of the larynx.
In addition to this there are more ap-
preciable differences. such as we see
in the other part of the body, The
larynx itself is as various in size and
shape as the nose; and this Is still
more the case with the other parts
concerned in the production Of the
voice. The most laborious anatomical
Gradgrind would shrink appalled, from
the attempt to measure the capacity
and trace the shape of the various
resonance chambers chest, throat,
mouth and nose. with the many intri-
cate little passages and cavelike spaces
communicating with the lattsr-yet
the slightest difference in the form,
size, or material structure of any of
these parts must have its effect in
modifying the voice to some extent. =

porary Review.

DROUGHT.

From, week to week there came no rain
The very birds took flight,
The river shrank within its bed,
The borders of the world grew red
With woods that famed by night.
No rest beneath the fearful sun,
No shelter brought the moon;
Lean cattle on the Teeded fen
Searched every hoe for drink, and men
Dropped dead beneath the noon.
And ever as each sun went down
Beyond the reeling plain,
Into the moching sky uprist,
Like phantoms from the burning west
Dim clouds that brought no rain.
Each root and leaf and living thing
Fell sicklier day by day,
And L that still must live and see
The agony of plant and tree,
Grew weary even as they.
But oh, at last the joy, the chance;
With sudden Sigh and start
woke upon the middle night,
And thought that something strange and bright
Had burst upon my heart.
With surging of great winds, lull
And hush upon the plain,
A hollow murmur far aloof,
And then roar upon the roof,
Down came the rushing rain.

I'd put the dime in them, and then L should
say:

day;
So put on your hat and go right down the
street.
And buy some nice chocolate candy to ca
You'd run, and come back and you'd jump and

To give me a dime and just see how I'd run?'

ABOUT BEES.
Curious Facts About the Hard-Wof -
Honey manufacturers.

| Curious Facts About the Hard-WoR =
Honey manufacturers.
l have seen a single bee clinging to
smoothly dressed board with its front
feet, and supporting a living chain of
twenty-five bees. thus supporting
twenty-five times her own weight. for
an indefinite time. There was time
when was puzzled to know how the bee
could hold on to the smooth board and
sustain such a weight But the magni-
| flying glass reveals a finely curved claw
at the extremity of each of the front
pair OF legs, and these enable the bee
to cling to the wood in any position,
with its back down as we'll as other
wise. But how does the bee manage
to run up pane of glass or a sheet of
polished metal? Her sharp claws will
not serve her in this case. Well, ma
ture has provided for that in a wonder
full way. / once had theory to account
for this wonderful feat. But when
commenced to study the anatomy of
the bee under the magnifying glass
my theory was found to be wide of
the mark. The glass shows an in
'fnitesfmal gland in the soles of the
feet, which secrete a substance of suffi-
cient tenacity to enable the bee to cling
to the smoothest surface that it is likely
to come in contact wish.
The mandible Gaw) of the honey
bee, when seen under the glass, is real
curiosity. They not only open and
shut, like the jaws of any other animal.
but they have backward and forward
movement. and each of the pair is indie
pendent of the other in its movements.
The old class of naturaliSts believed
that the honey bee, as an artist and
builder. was a 'mason." Bat such IS
not the fact in the case. The honey
bee is smith" She draws out her
work, using her mandibles in the place
of the smiths hammer. it would be n
simple imposibility to build wall as
thin as that of the honey comb by any
other process. Beeswax is the result of
digested honey, just as talOw results
from the digestion of the food of the
OK But the beeswax. instead of adher-
ing to the flesh, as in the case of fat
animals. passes out of the body of the
bee, through one of the six false pOck-
cts on the under side of the abdo-
men, in the form OF thin scales
or pellets, and while they are warm and
pliable the bees seize them with their
mandibles and weld them to the rims
of the cells, and continue to draw out
the combs until the proper depth OF the
cells are reached. The cell walls are as
thin as the finest tissue paper known to
the art of paper-making, and would not
have sufficient strength to support the
tiny weight Of tiny bee were they not
strengthened by an exquisitely-formed
rim around them, supporting their
frail walls below, precisely as does the
wired rim around the top of Il tin ves-
sci. That these thin walls are not
drawn ont, and not built ON to, is
proven by the fact that the riip around
the cell is as we'll defined when the
work is first begun us it is when the
comb is finished, and is present through
the whole process of construction. e
