Tho Failing Leaves.

to the ground, looking so much like
great, golden butterflies, TIN thought

little folks would make if l should ask
What makes the leaves fall?"
That evening put the question 20

piled: "Why, the wind"
But. Alice. there is often so Iittin af'

AT this Charlie spoke, his black eyes

solved the problem, Il know! It's be-

Management Of tho Voice.

Professor Sieber has touched one of the
evils of the day when he declares thas
there prevails keenly felt dearth OF
thorough teachers who have devoted
their lives to the special study of the for
nation of the voice, and this remark ap-
plies just as forcibly in public speaking.
Our people have yet to learn that ready
flow of ideas and the gift of gab do not
constitute the sole and only requisite OF
the impassioned and eloquent orator.
Cicero, when he began his public ca
reer, soon found his voice and delivery
so inadequate that he gave up his pro-
fession for time, and spent number
Of years in Greece and Asia Minor in the
study of elocution When he returned
ard resumed his profession, his voice be-
came proverbial for its sweetness, COM
passand power, and his delivery Charmed
and delighted one of the most eloquent
aces in the worlds history. The severity
o. the cXercfses pursued by Demosthrasa
have furnished texts for even the wlio-
ing books OF our schools, and, asarcauic,
he so developed the cle.rness of his ar
ticHlation and the strength of his voice
that it enabled him tospbdue into silence
and awe those tuuIulJuous assc'Hl lies of
the Atheuian democracy. where thnE noise
and confusion were often like that on
tho lips OF the many soundiuy sea.
Professor Mciiyaiu, of Princeton coli
lcge, strikes squarely at the evil known
as clergymen's sore throat when Eo says
it would seem that lie who inaT!nes
himself to be preaching the gospel while
he violates almost every law Of oral
speech, deceives himself ard commits no
little sin-a sin which, like all others,
does not fail to punish itself. For those
wasting throat diseases with which cler-
gymen are afflicted more than any other
class of public speakers are often traced,
physiologically speaking, to bad manage
ment of the voice; 10 the vocation OF
those laws which nature has i"o ribbed
for articuiate sreaking-!a wh.1l, like
all others established by the God of ma
ture, can never be violated with i'm
punity. This view is confirmed bv the
fact that no more enectu&l preventive
for these diseases has been discovered
than thorough course Of sound elocu-
tionary training. ng.-1Iedical Classics.

The RIcr.st Cold Nngcet.

There have been big gold nuggets
found in various countries, but the largest
ever discovered was found in New South

weight was G40 pounds; height, feet 8
inches; width, 3 feet inches; average
thickness, 1 inches, and it was worth
S148,S00. 1t was found imbedded in q
thick wall of blue slate, at depth of $50
feet from the surface. An interesting
feature of its history was that the owners
of the mine were living on charity when
they found it.-Jewelers' Circular.
