SPEECH OF SOUTHERN WOMEN.


An Author who Thinks 1t Is the Most
Pleasant In America.
Mr.. Theodore H. Meade has publish
cd little book on "Our Mother
Tongue, in which he takes occasion to
criticise the speech of American wom-
en-, saying, among other things, that it
is really notable thing, something
that is instantly remarked, when an
American woman in speaking has a
pleasant voice and uses it with good
meditation.
But" he continues, there are
women in America who, as rule, even
in eonversati IN, have quite sweet voices
and method of speaking which could
be made at once pleasant and correct.
| allude to the women Of the southern
states. This is due, no doubt, to the
pure and more soaorous use of the VOW
els by southern women than by their
northern sisters. and to the less harsh
employment of the consonants. The use
full but dangerous 'r, which plays such
sad havoc in the speech of the majority
Of Americans, is all but ignored by
I southern women, ana many OF them are

proper use of the vowels-froin giving

WHY PIGS sOuEAL.

The true wild boars and the sferal hogs
which have escaped from captivity in

nation of the original use of the shrill
voice of the pig. ana OF his readiness 10

In fact, whenever YOU hear a pig sQueai-

deeds of his race in the past, as elo-
quent and emphatic as a Fourth of July
Grafton. In the wild state 1t was his
appeal for help, to which he knew his
brethren, one and all. would respond
with splendid loyalty and courage.
Many a hunter has had to climb a tree
to save lis life after wounding one of a
herd Of peccaries. Now the hog would
not expend his breath in ear-splitting
sdueaks unless he selt pretty sure of gee
ting some benefit from SO doing. Hts
~squeasing. therefore, amounts to a lively
expression of faith in the noble moral
qualities of his brethren. 1t conveys pre-.
cise,y the same sentiment as do the
words of "a stump orator when he says:

INGERSOLL's RAWLINGS.
Crfticfzes the Bible In the Academy
of Music Last Night.

Colonel Robert Ingersoll talked to a
very much interested and amused au-
dience last night in the Academy of
Music about 1.-THE Bible,'' and in his ac-
cushioned vigorous way ridiculed the
doctrine of its inspiration.
Many well-known people We're among
the audience and most of the boxes
were filled. In the upper left box Mr..
Charles Broadway Rouse, the eccen-
trio New York merchant sat with a
party of friends, and made himself com
spicuous with Hear, hear" That's
true,,' Good" and other words of APP
prevail.
The doughty colonel kept his audience
waiting for half an hour and then saun-
tered onto the stage, wiped his glasses,
looked at his audience with q irst-class
baby stare and simply said hat some
body ought to tell the truth about the
Bible. Preachers dare not, he. said, be-
cause they would be driven from their
pulpits: editors dare not. they would
lose their subssribers; polit i ieians dare are
wealthy men dare not because it would
cost them something"
He said that every person had in his
brain a little light called reason, which
swayed and fiickered during prejudice,
steadily while he talked. The. Bible,
he said, was made by man. and those
who claim%s,d It to b inspired ahg g,ia
