They Got Lo,cer Berfhs.

Two men whose clothes, pipes, monocles
and accent forcibly announced their nation
ality called at the ticket Office of the South
ern Pacific railroad and asked for two lower
berths on the train to San Francisco.
''They are all gone. You can have uppers,
though" was the response.
ooh, no. Doncher know, me friend is i'll,
and he cahn't 90 unless he has lower berth.
He must have one, doncher know"
The agent was sorry, but as he only had up
per berths he could do nothing. Then the
spokesman insisted on seeing Mr.. Crawley,
and that official again explained the absence
ofany lower berth only to receive the reply,
"Aw, yes, but ne must have lower, doncher
know"
"All right, if you must, you must" an
swered the official" "They will cost you
just S26S. We have an extra car here and
can put it on for YOU at that figure if upper
berths are not good enough"
"Aw, yes Thanks, awfully."
They paid the money, the empty Pullman
was coupled onto the train, and the boys at
the depot say that before the cars left the
EngIishmen had made the porter make up
every berth in the car. They said they had
paid for each of the sections, and they pro-
posed to come as near as possible TO getting
their moneys worth"

Interior Of The Parthenon.

How was the interior lighted Some have
thonght by species of clear story, and
much learned lumber" has been imported
into the question. To little purpose, how
ever, for, like most ancient buildings, it was
either entirely hypaethral, open to the sky,
or, more probably, partly so velarim or
thick awning being drawn over the opening
to shield the temple from very hot sun and
perhaps from the rare downfalls of rain
The gold and ivory statue of Minerva Par
thenos stood just inside the western doors of
the building and in the Opisthodomus or
western of the two chambers of the interior;
here, also, the treasure of the city was kept,
under her special care, as all good Athenians
believed.
The remains of color found on the build
ing indicate that light blue and deep red
figured largely on the external sntablature
whether the shafts of the columns remained
in their native hue, or were stained a light
lemon color, is uncertain; it is believed,
however, that the capitals were gilded.
From bronze nails under the triglyphs,
garlands hung on festal days; shields cap
tured in battle were suspended on the east
ern front and perhaps elsewhere; the
groundwork or field of the tympana, be-
hind the statuary, was blue. The wall be-
hind the columns was not an expanse of
bare marble, but painted with heroic figures
of the deeds Of gods and men; all around
were statues of bronze, silver and even gold,
while the city at its feet and other temples
added to the mass of color, the bright sun Of
Southern Greece flooding the entire picture
with light-an extraordinary scene. Not
its least remarkable feature must have been
been the quick, eager, restless crowd of
Athenians themselves the captives,. the
traders of neighboring nations, the slaves;
everywhere life and movement, everywhere
the critical, curious ways of people always
intent upon seeing or hearing "some new
thing g"-T Temple Bar

IVoman's Soprano Voice.

The scientist who discovered in the hui
man larynx the anatomical reason why
woman has a soprano voice and man a
bass was woman, Mrs. Emma Seller, says
the Buffalo Times. She was German, born
in Wurzburg. Left willow with two chill
dren to support, she resolved to become a
teacher of singing, but suddenly lost her
voice. Then she determined TO find out
why, also to discover, if possible, the correct
method of singing so that others might not
lose their voices. For this purpose she stud
led anatomy She dissected larynx after
larynx and spent years in her search, trying
to find for one thing why women's head
tones could reach high c while men had no
soprano tones. At length her search was
rewarded. She discovered under the micro
scope one day two small wedge shaped carti-
leges whose action produces the highest tones
of the human voice. She made her discoy-
cry public. 1t excited great attention among
scientists. Her own brother, a physician,
praised the treatise in the highest terms till
he found his own sister had written it. Then
he dashed it down, saying in a rage that she
would better be attending to her housework
Nine. Sellers portrait, a marble relief, is in
possession of the American Philosophical
Society. of Philadelphia, of which she was a
member. She wrote, among other books,
"The Voice in Singing" and 'The Voice in
Speaking" She died in 1886.
