Man inherited from his immediate an
c%estors, the apes and monkeys, a voice Of
considerable altitude. in which the lower
tones were almost unknown. says Ndst's
Weekly. TIT monkeys chartered to their
fellows from tree to tree in shrill head
tones, the natural vocal expression of a
weak and timid race, in whose physical
FOL nation the head had begun to hold an
important place. The upper notes of the
register We're characteristic of the first
men. as they still are of savage tribes and
peoples and of the half civilized members
of modern society, whose voices nave

The voices of country people accus-
toned to magnificent distances anG con-
versation at long range are, if not keyed
higher. oftener used in the upper ranges
than those of the city people. who feel
obliged by the necessities of good breed
ing to moderate their tones. When a
man is self-contained be uses the middle

angry the voice u gradually to the

some other instruments of the kind. AL

AN AFTERNOON CALL.
During Which Miss Ross Showed
Her True Woman's Nature.

My mothers illness had kept us home
for months, but she was better and be-
ginning again to take interest in mag
azines and newspapers. In one of the
latter she discovered this item:
''Miss Marian Ross arrived Saturday
from Sparkling Springs, Va. She leaves
next week for Bar Harbor and other gay
centers."

''perhaps she will give you a Whit of
the ocean,"
Before I could demur she had rung
for George to bring around the cart and
ordered me out of the house.
1 chose a short cut to Ross hill. a
country road bordered breast high with
blackberry and elder bushes. There
was much up hill and down dale work
and many a loose stone over which to
stumble, but the pony was fresh, trees
shaded the road, wild grapevines waved
their sprays in our faces, and an occa-
sional breeze waited us the fragrance of
the elder blossoms.
Crossing a bridge and looking down
through the tree tops to the creek far
below I could see the cattle drinking
velvet skinned Attorneys, whose grace
full limbs showed pedigree in every line.
Skirting the base of Rose hill we
turned into the avenue and climbed
toward the gates, which formed a cres-
cent and swung from huge stone pillars
almost hidden by woodbine.
The gates barred entrance to the drive
way; otherwise the place was not in
closed by wall or ~hedge-the great green
hill stretched away in its beauty for
every n to see. A rustic seat was
placed Hospitality on the boulevard that
even a stranger might tarry and enjoy
the view far away over the hill and val
ley to that line of misty blue which
marks the end of vision. On my wav to
the house I espied a hammock under the
willow trees down by the spring. Surely
a white dress was 1uttering from it.
Bidding pony stand I ran down the hill.

Paying Court to Elderly Ladies.

A gentleman who enjoys great renown
as a purveyor of literary lidbits to a

the secret of the good liver; I mean that
he has discovered how to gu 10y rare BAN

evidence of a Columbus-like genius, of
course, as all the books that have

Inuerlig-ole Frice Marks.

AuCeAA1EA5Io 1r1ce N1afESs
Very few stores now adhere to the old
plan of cipher marking. Experience has
proved that a majority of customers
prefer goods to be marked in plain fig
ures, nc one liking the idea of two sets
of figures unless he is sure he is among
the favored mes who get the benefit of
the lower scale. 1t is said to be the
practice with the medical fraternity Of
some towns to grade their charges to
patients according to the style of house
in which they live, and the same idea
prevails SO much as to retail stores that
ladies have been known to send servants
down to stores because they could get a
larger discount.
Other ladies are careful never to dress
very well when shopping, and this shows
how firmly She impression prevails that
a genuine n price store is a novelty.
The easiest way to get over this i'm
preston is to have every article marked
in plain figures, so that the customer
may see that n price prevails for ALL
