CONTROLLING THE TONGUE.
II L. Its Misuse That Causes Many Psopa
to speak Indistinctly.

II Is Its Misuse That Causes Many People
to speak Indistinctly.
1t is a lamentable fact hat the ma
jority Of people speak badly and with
comparative difficulty, and it is equally
true that if they only knew how they
could enunciate well and easily. A
well-known writer gives some valuable
information on this subject in an arti-
Gle in q leading daily paper. He shows
that So common is this use of the vocal
organs hat it frequently leads to
chronic sore throat. The tongue 10
often accountable for the trouble.
Many people nave q habit, when talk
ing, of pushing the tongue SO far back
against the delicate membranes that
line the throat that irritation more or
less painful is caused, and II 1t con-
tinues any length of time, ulcers will
form, and SO will q DOCTORS bill. PeO-
pie who are thus afflicted, aud for the
matter of that, who are not, should at
once set about learning how to control
their tongue-that is, how to correct
the false and pernicious habits that IL
may have drifted into. The organ
| should be depressed into q hOllow-be-
fore Q looking -glass-at q point three
quarters of an inch back OF where the
tip Of 1t comes when IN a natural posi-
ton in the mouth, and At the same
time singing very light head tones.
The exercise requires some patience at
first, but the habit of keeping the
tongue down is soon acquired. Many
q hard working vocal student Is q suf-
ferer through not knowing this. He
NAV have been working unsuccessfully
for weeks in his attempt to produce
better tone, simply because his tongue
would not let him. In speaking or
singing it should not be allowed to
hoop up and I'll the mouth, thus inter
fering with the free passage of the
tones to the front Of the mouth, where
they should strike and then escape as
clear as q bell. This hopping up of the
tongue in the mouth Is h cause OF
much of the indistinct and slOvenly ut
terance which Is gall and NORWOOD
to the cultivated ear. In many people
the line from the point of he chin Il
the neck is In the form of a right an
gle. In a shapely throat this line form,
a curve just as a canary's does when hi
is carolling. The process of turning
this angle into q curve is well wortl
understanding, as it involves a hne de
velopment Of the throat, and excellen'
practice in tongue control. Stand be
fore q mirror SO that you may watcl
the throat swell out; now thrust you
tongue out as far as 1t will go, thel
draw 1t back quickly and forcibly, q
the same time bringing it downward
in the mouth as far as you can. Plac'
your thumb and forefnger against tn
larynx commonly called Adams ap
ple), and II you are making the RICH
movement you will feel the larynx pas
downward. For a week or two max
the movement lightly, after that pu
as much force into it AS you can. tn
exercise should be practiced for a fe,

consciously Obeys.
One Saturday evening recently the
gentleman whom the story names pom
dercd as to just how he could best
fool his wife, and decided that it
would astonish her greatly if he carried
home a box of candy, for as he was not
personally fond of confectionery he
had probably never made her a present
in the sugar line before, his gifts gem
orally being of more valuable charac-
ter. Providing himself with a o Of
bonbons, he started home, and arrived
there in company with the candy and
a chuckle in advance at the expense Of
his wife and the state of surprise she
would be in On opening the package.
Here is something for yOu," he re-
marked, handing over the bundle.
Yes" she replied, without even look
ing at the box, the character OF which
was concealed in brown paper. 1T
vas very nice of you to bring me this
confectionery from SIS. l was wish
ing all the afternoon that you would
do So"
Here's another ccoun of mind act
ing upon mind. A young lady WAS ex-
tremely anxious to obtain q Oair Of
mousquetaire gloves to match q certain
lavender gown, but could not find her
size-5 3-4-in the desired shade. After
visiting several shops, She went home
to fret because the ''lovely new suit"
would not be ready for wearing until
the gloves could be sent from the dis
ant city, and the dance came off the
very next evening! In the meantime
a certain young man had e racking
his brains for a suitable gift for her
approaching birthday. They had been
engaged very long, and many of her
tastes he was only able to guess at.
Strolling aimlessly into q shopon the
very afternoon that she was f~ruitlessly
searching tori gloves in the rival estab-
lishment of the village, q bright idea
from nowhere in particular darted in
to his mind, and he recollected that il
was allowable to give gloves ever to
girls with whom one made trifiinl
bets. 1t was only when the pert clerl
inquired, what size?' that he begaI
to be bewildered. And then his ststs
Of phase" did not last long.
Picking up q pair of suedes from {

ordered them wrapped up, and tina

A BIG JACKPOT,
Over Which the Judge Taught the Colonel
. Costly Lesson.

Over which the Judge Taught the Colonel
. Costly Lesson.
There was a big Jackpot, with all its
glowing beauty of red and white and
blue chips, reposing in the center of
the table. 1t had been made for TWEEN
ty-fve dollars for a starter, and each of
the five players had sweetened Jour
times with a IS chip before there came
q pair Of jacks wherewith to split it
open.
After the fourth deal the colonel
picked up his hand carelessly and
glanced at the orner of the cards.
He smiled q little and said, softly: ''Ill
bust that for fifty" The next man
passed out. So did the next, and the
next, and the next. The judge, who
was the last to have a say had looked
at his cards carefully, and an express
sion Of supreme disgust had settled on
his face. He held the cards by the cor
Ter and made an involuntary motion
rs IL to throw them into the discard.
The cOlOnel's hands twitched nerv-
ously. 1t looked as il it would be a
case Of showing breakers and raking
in the rich stake. The Judge made an
other motion as il he were inclined to
throw up his hands. Then the colonel
said: what are you going to do,
judge?'
The judge went through his hand
again. The expression of disgust deep
ened. ''Ain't afraid to play, are you?'
inquired the colonel, tauntingly.
NO." replied the judge, slowly. 81
guess III see what you are doing this
on, anyhow" and he made good the
hfty-dollar opening bet.
They drew cards. The colonel took
two and the Judge, after much delibera-
ton, decided that one was about all he
wanted. The colonel bet another fifty.
dollar chip and the judge saw him
and raised him five dollars. The
colonel came back with an.
other ffty-doilar raise. and the
Judge laid his hand down on the
table, pulled out q roll Of bills and
counted of three hundred dollars. ''Ill
tilt that two hundred and fifty dollars.
he remarked calmly. The colone
grasped. He looked At his hand anG

PARENTS AND CHILDREN.
One View of the Obaigasioas Existing H.
tWeon Than.

Ons View of the Obligations Existing H.
tween Then.
It seems to me-, said . woman who
had spent q long life battling with UNI
favorable circumstances, that there 10
q grave Misrepresentation about the
obligation Of children to parents. I
think the first obligation should be
from the parent to the child. II pa
rents have children, they are by the
fact Of bringing them into existence
responsible for their mental, moral and
physical well-being up to their major
ity, and they should under no circum-
stances forget that such obligations
rest upon them.
In the FIRST place, they ought to be
morally certain that they will be in .
condition to give their children educs-
ton enough to At them for their posi-
ton in life. II the child shows any
particular talent, the parents are under
just as much obligation to cultivate
this as they are to give the little one
proper food and clothing. As they
grow up, the youngsters should have
reasonably good society and the sur
roundings to give them q proper famil-
iarity with the usages of the world. To
rear a child in total ignorance of the
good graces and courtesies of life Is lit
tie short of q crime. OF course, IL par
ents are ignorant themselves, they
have Just SO much to struggle with
and as children grow older special
pains should be taken to bring them
into contact with other young people
and to put them into society of their
W age.
OF all the melancholy situations in
life, that of a brilliant young person in
a community where there Ii nothing
congenial is about the worst. Such per
sons, especially girls, are bound In the
due course of time to marry, and many
times out of q hundred the marriage /,
uncongeuial. They do not expect II
beforehand, and when the awakening
comes it is altogether too late to hell
matters then.
There has always been Q good dea
of talk about . mellennium, but II will
never come until parents realize theil
responsibility to their children and
take some pains TO meet the demand
that the relation Of parent and chile
brings upop them,-N. Y, Ledger,
