EVOLUTION or THE VOICE.


The Subject Discussed by England's Great
Throat Specialist.
Darwin seems inclined to believe that,
as women have sweeter voices than men,
they were the first to acquire musical
powers in order to attract the other sex.
by which suppose he means that the
feminine voice owes its greater sweet
ness to more persevering culture for
purposes of Irritation. l do not know
whether the ladies Of the present day
will own this soft impeachment or
whether they will be fiattered by the
suggestion that their remote ancestresscs
lived in perpetual leap-year Of court
ship. Other emotions, however. besides
the master passion of love had to be ex-
pressed: JOY, anger, fear and pain had
all to find utterance, and the nervous
centers excited by these various
stimuli threw the whole mus
cular system into vio.ent con-
fractions, which in the case Of the
muscles moving the chest and the vocal
cords naturally produce sound-that is
to say, voice. These movements. at
first accidental and purposeless. in time
became inseparably associated with the
emotional state giving rise to them, SO
as to coincide with it, and thus serve as
an index or expression thereof. From
this to the voluntary emission OF vocal
sounds is an easy step. and it is probable
enough that the character of those
sounds was primarily due to the ''imi-
tation and modification Of different
natural sounds. the voices of other ami
mails, and mans own instructive cries. y

Science Monthly.

AN oLD-TIME QUILTING BEE.

Tes,we held grand reception and had every
thing in style,
With flowers everywhere and fruit n high -
we could pile.
The aristocracy was there, all gorgeously ar.
rayed,
And every body acted just as il twas dress
parade.
Lucinda-she's my wife-appeared in dresses
rich and rare,
With furbelows and nounces and with flowers
in her hair;
But somehow as looked Mt herI couldn't help
The scene when first met her at an old time
quilting bee.
How mem'ry win keep funning back TO other
days and scenes,
sometimes quite forget that part OF life
which intcrvencs
Between the years when all I owned was
youthful hope and health,
And later times which brought me more Of
worrimcnt and wealth.
And SO at the reception in the midst OF beau
tvs glare,
Her face, though old and wrinkled, was the
sweetest picture there
The one whose smile OF friendship has for
ever welcomed me
Since first met her glances at an Old-timc
quilting bee.
In those days which We old folks call the
'happy long ago"
The girls would in the morning meet and
gaily chat and sew;
They'd keep il up till evening. when the
neighbor boys would come,
And hold party or q dance before they left
for home.
And when the quilt was finished then they'd
take the old house cat
And place il in the middle while they loudly
holloed scat"
The two the cat would jump between, twas
said that she and he
Would be the first to marry who were ut the
quilting bee.
And so that night speak OF when the quilt.
ing all was done
The girls were eager then to see which way
the cat would run.
Iwont forget Lucinda as she stood there by
my side,
Nor how we blushed a crimson rs they called
us groom and bride.
i said it was an accident, and 20 I've always
said,
But anyhow before the year had passed We
two were wed.
And to this very day there are no scenes SO
fair to me
As mem'rics Of that evening ut an old time
quilting bee.

Out the Money.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 2.-The Louis
vile and Nashville train north-bound was
held up by masked robber half mile
north of Pensacola Junction early this
morning The safe was taken from the
express car, but the extent of the robbery
is not known.
Engineer Bob Sizer says that he was
pulling out of Flomaton and just as his
train, which is the through express from
New Orleans, got under way he turned
around and saw man standing near him.
Before he could ask a question or look
twice two revolvers were in his face. He
was told to run his train up to the Escam-
bia river BRIDGE some miles distant, and
stop on the bridge. There was nothing
left for him to do but obey, and he did SO.
There the train stopped on the bridge.
The engineer was told to get off his engine
and he did SO. Then the robber directed
Sizer to go to the express car and force an
entrance, at the same time putting heavy
mallet in his hand. Sizer did SO and burst
open the car door. Express Messenger
johnson was standing in his car with his
pistol in his hand, but seeing Sizer he low
cred it.
The next minute he was covered and
told to lay down his pistol and he obeyed.
Then the robber, standing in the car
door, compelled the messenger to open the
safe and hand him all the money. While
this operation was going on the fellow
was standing in the door coolly looking at
his victim and firing first to one side of
the train and then to the other to overawe
the passengers and the train crew. When
he got money the robber told Sizer to fol-
low him. The man showed the way to
the engine, babe Sizer pull out and with a
parting shot and yell dashed off in the
bushes and was lost to sight

A Small Attendance Mt Hampden
Park-Fairly Good Time Made
Two Events.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. 2.-The at
tendance at the races of the grand circuit
meeting on Hampden park this afternoon
was rather small, even for first day, not
over fifteen hundred persons being on the
grounds. The track was soft in spots, but
the average time made was fairly good.
There were but two races on the card both
of which were finished before O'Clock, the
favorites winning in each. In the first
heat of the $50 class Dandy and Soudan
had hot brush at the finish, but this was
the only real contest of the race. Stevie
would have taken the 2:20 race in straight
heats but for bad break at the wire in
the second, Mollie j. slipping in ahead.
Between the heats the four year-old stall
lion Governor Benton was sent mile to
beat his record of 2:24t and succeeded in
lowering it to 2:244 He went the first
half in 1:08a, but quit on the stretch.
Following are the summaries of the events
of the day:
