Only One Tone in His Voice.

Possibly as ludicrous thing as ever
happened was the experience Of my
friend, Professor Roswell Park, of Buff
falo, n. Y. A mans life had been saved
by the beautiful surgical skill of sue
cessful laryngotomy. When health had
been retored my friend proposed to the
patient the insertion of an artificial
larnyx, so that vocal tones, or true
voice. could be added TO the whisper
that necessarily resulted from the alb
sence of The vocal chords. This appar.
emily hiSlly desirable thing was done,
but the tone, of course was uniform:
there was no change of pitch possible

ELECTRIC CALLS.
Coneressmen Won't Have to Clap
Their Hands Now.

One item OF legislation quite escaped at-
tcntion In the hustle and excitement incident
to the closing scenes Of congress-. tits pro-
vision appropriating $1,000 to introduce an
electric call system In the house.
Ever since congress has been in existence
the members have called the pages by lightly
clapping their hands together. Members are
always calling the pages and this light clap
ping OF hands goes on whether anybody is
speaking or not, but tho old system Is gener-
ally most In evidence when member is ad-
dressing the house. This will be done away
with at the instance Of Congressman Cannon,
OF Illinois.
When the Fifty-tourth congress meets every
member will find a button at his desk which
will insure the coming OF page. An electric
wire will be connected with the cal-board
similar TO those used in hotels. When n
member wants page he presses the button,
an indicator tumbles down, showing the
number Of the coneressman's desk and the
waiting page darts OF TO answer the sum-
mons.

ers and the tight-rope gentlemen. He Will
not turn them from his door. There's a
place for them al his table, even at his
Christmas spread, for he is to dine 100
Of them on Christmas day in his great
spreading dining-room, one corner Of
winch IS large enough for his whole fam
lily circle.
Belt has kept no poor friends from his
humble beginning. II he has any, he has
either forgotten them or as his friends
declare, has pensioned them of. And
that IS why there is nothing TO stand in
Belts way in his march into London So
ciety.
Albert Belt lives in very good style in
London. He generally-for he is only a
visitor to the capital-Occupies bachelor
chambers in Trafalgar square, the most
expensive part of the town, and his din
ners are taken at the tables ofslords and
dukes, of counts and earls, yes, at the
board of princes.
Belts friends in London are the Duke
of Fife and the Prince of Wales. Another
close chum is Prince Adolphus of Teck
who has put the Duke Of Westminsters
gift into the African hot-bed of gold
pounds. Belt is a companion also Of Lord
Roseberry, who dabbles in kafhrs, and he
knows well everybody of Importance in
London except Lord Salisbury and the
old commoner William L. Gladstone.
These two old gentlemen refuse to learn
about Africa underneath her soil, and
resolutely try to forget the pronunciation
over London as the Kaffir gold flies
around.
Belt has received twenty invitations 10
Christmas dinners; if he has received one.
He told a friend that he should dine with
the Earl of Warwick, the man who put
him next the Prince of Wales a woek
ago. Warwicl1's Christmas board VIII
have, for holiday gift, the honor OF hold
ing the dinner Of man who could buy
half the world, and his chef will cook for
one who could purchase so many Christ
mas dinners that the whole world would
go dinnerless, unless he chose TO release
the trust.
The way this owner of the earth passes
his time is simple if you look at it in the
light of action and righteousness, II soft
ness is any criterion.
His last chambers in London We're Sc
lected because they were lined with a
ruddy material resembling a slumbering
fire. AT one end is a deep fireplace and
upon the floor lay softest rugs In a tall
chair with cushions in it sits the master
of the rooms. He is the man who can touch
the bell at his elbow and give command,
perfectly sure that some one else Will do
the rest quickly.
No man in London Is more temperate
than Belt. His tipple is ice water and
his hard drink is tea. At dinners he sips
claret, but again falls back upon the
water caraffe. He Is ashamed of his wa
ter drinking, the Kaffir king, and always
has a wine glass at his hand. Upon his
little table, too, there stands a tall, spiral
glass strangely Inconsistent with the
sparkling water bottle next b.-----a

his expenditures each day in London
are 1900. Considerable, when you reflect
that each pound means S., and that a
dollar there Will buy five times as much
as a dollar here. No wonder that the
newspaper, with his face upon II, swirled
IN a tremendous effort to show itself
to the public once more Its shame was
that II beat against the man whose Christ
mas dinner viii be a window pane ana
whose host viii be the Wind-swept street.
Ihere is man in New York who never
mad Christmas dinner, and never had a
dollar in his life. He never owned a new
nat or whole suit of clothes, and the
softest bed he ever found was a bed Of
sand in a new excavation. His Christmas
dessert this year will be in reading the
signs in the windows and his dinner will
be served when the cook carries platter
out to scrape IL in the ash can.
Albert Belt is said TO have gone Bar

better; and If you want to know just
now he viii spend Christmas day, place
yourself in front of a fireplace with a
gold dollar in your hand. and fall asleep
with the flames magnifying il to a lapfuI
