American Voices In Masses.

Let 1t be acknowledged, and frankly, that
American meE of the educated classes man.
age their voices far better than women.
When raised in talk, bass, or even a tenor
voice, may smite the ear with needless
force, but it does not pierce the drum like
fine wire. In masculine masses where
many are speaking at once the effect is that
of billowy roar or deep hum. From a
talkative assembly of the gentler (not soft
er) sex arise shril sibilations, reminding
one of the stormy hiss of hive of angry
bees. In conclaves of whatever sort-as
these affairs are arranged and conducted in
our country-wherever the feminine ele-
ment predOminates one must shrek if she
would overbear the commingled shrieks Of
the rest. Our old women, in such circum-
stances, cawlike crows, aud our young ones
scream like jays. An afternoon reception
is high keyed Babel; woman's lunch, if
large, is a talking match where victory de-
pends upon strength of lungs. She who
from nature or principle keeps her voice at
a rational conversational pitch might as veil
be dumb and wish heartily that she had
been born deaf.
We nesd toning down all along the line,
and in nothing more than in our language
and voices. The one is forid; the others
are loud and unframed.
In general society, too, many of our best
dressed women suggest inevitably and ludi-
crously an English novelist's description of
peacocks, who "Were attitudinizing and
conversing in the high key in which they
always proclaim change of weather and
their innate vulgaTity to the world -Marion

the skin on the back of his hands, aud had
in vain sought relief of the best local medi.
cal talent, also of some of the most noted
specialists in New York, and as last re-
sort spent some months in Paris, France,
under treatment of the physicians there,
and had secured only temporary relief.
After all this treatment he was finally cur
ed, sound and well, by Swifs's Specific.
Another customer, Mr.. B., had Suffered
for many years with Blood Poison, and
thought he had been cured by mercurial
treatment, but the disease returned, accom-
panied by Rheumatism of bad type. A
