The new preacher heard about it and
rang the bell that night himself for an

preached without notes from the text:
"Give and it shall be given unto you"

his heart. He spoke of the good Samar.

hand without the knowledge Of the left.
And this last appeared as an especially
applicable text, as it was not then and
is not now fully and satisfyingly known
to certainty how this peculiarly beau
tiful Christmas episode was brought
about-who thought of it, or suggested
1t, or prompted it, and just who carried
it out. It is referred to as the Plum

Jack, drew of his dusty, wrinkled
stogies, hung up his wammus and vest
and retired, leaving Aunt Dorothy Jane
to undisturbed thought of her boy Jake
and her pies.
Nothing very startling ever happened
at Plunkettville. 1t was prone to dead
levelness in events. A monotony of
situations was the rule. A funeral, a
marriage with it's attendant chivaree, q
barn raising or corn husking or par
ing bee were the dizziest heights it's oc-
currences attained, and between these
events and dissipations there were likely
to be long intervals of unbroken quiet,
and SO this recollection of mine par
takes more of the pastoral than story.
1t would be pleasant as well as profit
able to write good deal about this
schoolmaster that Uncle Sluman Able
saw on the bridge over Massogger run
talking with the Eaton boys and Jake,
but space forbids but one line of
thought now. He was sort of all-
around prophet to the neighborhood
who led the rather commonplace peo-
pie into land of better and wider liv-
ing. Especially to the boys and the
young men of his school had he been
of help in their present need, and it had
been great. He possessed the genius of
doing things instantly in season. He told
them many helpful things, but not all
ways pleasant ones. One fact he men
toned, without seeming to preach or
being superior to the charge himself,
was, that they were wasting a good
many good opportunities for doing
good. That, perhaps-and more than
likely they had the idea, if they had even
ever thought about it-that to do good
thing it must be a great thing great
as the world counts it. He made them
see that this was mistake and urged
them to think about it. That it was
time that they were doing something
worth while living for. They were big,
hearty, healthy fellows, and ought to
be ashamed to live just for the sake of
living, with no aim or object in life
higher than husking bee or spelling
school frolic. That God might forget
them just as they were forgetting their
duty to Him and their neighbors. There
were fair possibilities for every one of

them, probably no very great ones; but
no one could tell that. Every one of
them had it in his power, in his reach,
to do some good, and the quicker they
looked around and set about it the bet
ter and the more manly they would be.
He advised a bit of selfshness-
their work of well-doing, their charity,
begin at home, emphatically at home
right inside their own foolish, unthink-
ing, careless hearts, and from this start
ing point work out and widen and
lengthen their field OF usefulness and
Christian labor. They would find that
it would pay, and maybe in more ways
than one. He would suggest that they
get down to business without waiting.
And much more the schoolmaster said
one time and another, but mostly along
this line. There were many changes in
the social and moral life of Plunkett-
vile, and all were for the better. And
the changes are still going on. The be-
ginning was two years ago. There are
things that would be profitable to speak
Of because of their suggestiveness in
the way of help to other Plunkettvilles,
but only one incident or experience will
be mentioned, and that dates back to
last Christmas, which with the school
master as prime leader, ably assisted by
Jake and the Eaton boys, and a half
dozen others, was rendered bit dra-
matte, and it will be many years before
this particular Christmas is forgotten.

VOICES TO SUIT.

"A French Scientist Claims They May Be
Easily Acquired. es
Are you soprano, and have you
difficulty in reaching and emitting the
high "c?" Are you a tenor, and, if not,
do you want to be? Are you dissatis-
fed barrytone, and wish to become a
basso profundo? ~.
If SO there is no reason why you
should not. These questions and the
answer one DR.. Sandras, medical lu-
minary of Paris, makes the burden of
a song that is just now interesting
Parisians, and especially embryo Pat
tbs, De Reszkes and Plancons.
These latter naturally reply that they
do, and the disciple of Esculapius forth
with buttonholes them and proceeds to
explain the means by which they are
to accomplish the feat. He is quite sure
about his discovery being one of the
wonders of the age. He claims that in
order to modify the sounds of the hui
man voice one has only to inhale the
vapors of certain liquids and essences.
Thus, inhalations of curacao, according
to DR.. Sandras, will raise the voice two
notes, the aspiration of absinthe will
add one high and two low notes, and es-
sence extracted from pines will give
two low notes. A dissolution of coffee
beans in rum, he claims, will strength
en- the medium notes.
There are other odors that are said
to be even more efficacious, though
they have the disadvantage of not tick
ling the olfactory nerves so agreeably.
But no singer would stick at such
tritle as this, if he or she desired to
reach much coveted and hitherto un-
attainable note.
For instance, there are kerosene and
turpentine, ..yes-even strychninc.
The effect of the latter, according to
the doctor, is positively marvellous. He
claims that it raises the voice no fewer
than five notes, and will enable almost
anybody to deliver with ease Tamber-
lick's famous chest c, that never failed
to bring down the house.
But, declare jealous rivals Of DR.. Sam
dras, there are other vapors that have
a contrary effect--that Of aniseed, for
instance, which occasions hoarseness,
and herein lies danger to singers. I'M
agine the consequences to the great
Signora Uppersee if, when about to ego
cn' for the mad scene in "Lucia di LAM
mermoor," she inhaled aniseed, surrep-
titiously substituted for strychnine by
her jealous rival, Nine. Semibreve di
Minim.
But just as there is no rose without a
thorn, so there is no great discovery
that has not its drawbacks, and as the
contretemps referred to can be general
" guarded against, DR.. Sandras' theory
may soon be put into widespread prac-
tice. Then, when the lovesick Juliette
is seen ecstatically burying her nose in
2 bouquet thoughtfully flung to her
balcony by Romeo, the unpoetical Phil
istine in the audience will surmise that
she is only inhaling kerosene fumes
from a bottle artfully concealed among
the fowers.-Chicago Tribune.
