4 Woman May Look OLD and Act OLD.
hut stin lie Youthful.
With the summer hotel assurance a
number of women were speculating
upon the age Of another woman not
long ago, when one Of the group set
tied the question by saying: "Yes, it's
true that she's not young looking, nor,
Tor that matter, young behaving. She
both appears and acts like one of years
and experience, but for all that she is
young. and I'll tell you how | know
by her voice. There's rarely any mis-
taking nor Disgusting that. 1t is one
of the few things that is nearly always
a certain test Of years The girl OF
whom you speak has young voice.
1t is undeveloped; certain notes in it
have neyerDeen struck. Its deepest and
highest registers have not as yet been
called into play. 1t isn't case of years
without opportunity, either for it
hasn't any of the fiat tonelessness that
that insures. Young through and
through, it thrills with hopes and pos
sibilities and innocence and joy in the
untried and unknown. 1t is a voice
with a future, and as nothing else does
it let's us know that the girl is one with
a future. Scientists say that every
thought, emotion and experience is reg
istered upon the voice-that The eyes
themselves are not more impressionable
to such influences. BY the voice alone
the trained observer can tell you more
about persons character and condi-
tion in life than the average individual
would discover in a half hours conver-
sation. Haven't you now and then met
one OF ripe years whose voice has by
some magic retained its youthful, art
less freshness? And haven't you in
stinctively started at the sound as com
ing from such a one? These exceptions
are very rare, though. Most of us fol-
low the natural law and,involuntari,y
express in our voices whatever time
has seen fit to bestow upon us. There
are nowadays many tricks by which
one may seek to outwit nature, but

HAVE MOUTHS OF GOLD.
Thousands of Dollars OF the Metal In
Teeth OF London.

Thousands of Dollars of the Metal In
Teeth OF London.
The expression "IIe has a heart OF
gold" will soon be changed to "IIe has
a mouth of gold" if the opinions Of
London dentist are not exaggerated
He says;
From variety Of causes teeth ap-
pear to decay much earlier and much
more rapidly than they used to do. In
consequence the study Ct dentistry has
progressed by leaps and bounds, until
now it is really astonishing what can
be done in the way of arrcsting decay
and in surmounting the affection when
it has run its course.
"In one sense there are people whose
mouths are veritable gold mines. Speak
ing broadly, the people Of London carry
no less than 10000 or $4,000 worth
Of gold about with them in their
mouths representing something be
tween two and three hundrcdwcight.
It comes in books, each sheet being ham
mered out to the thinness Of tissue
paper. The books cost about g each.
but each book represents a tremendous
amount of dental worls-work which
might be estimated at about C 20. The
demand for gold :lling and stopping is
increasing year by year. In spite Of
other substances which have from time
to time been tried for cconomy's sake,
gold still stands supreme. Aluminium
was at one time spoken OF as a rival
which threatened TO oust the more pre-
cious metal from use, but the deEa-d
for gold has steadily increased, and no
doubt will continue to do so. The
amount annually spent by the people Of
London on their teeth is very little less
than half a million sterling. \ member
of the profession recently volunteered
his opinion that in two or three years
time the people Of London would be car
rying'in their mouths gold TO the value
Of & $4,000. just think of that Then
bear In mind that such an amount Of
gold represents nearly half a million
sterling in dental work."-Chicago

DANGER FROM TALL MAsTs.
Most PerIiOus Part of Painting the
brooklyn Bridge.

Most PcriIOHs Part of Painting the
brooklyn Bridge.
The most hazardous work in painting
the Brooklyn bridge is not done while
swinging from arigger's seat up among
the strands that hang from the four big
cables. 1t is done while the men are on
scafrold that hangs underneath the
bridge structure. A fall from almost
any place on the bridge means death
70 the painters. and it matters little to
them where they are at work, so far
as an unsteadincss from the fear of fall
ing is concerned. But when they are
at work swinging underneath the
bridge they must keep an eye open fora
danger that confronts them in no other
place on the structure. They must
watch for the tall masts of vessels lest
they be swept away through the neglect
of a skipper to lower his topmasts.
One such accident has occurred al
ready this fall, and the painters saved
themselves 10y springing from their
scaffold to the beams of the bridge. 1t
was on September II and not far from
the Brooklyn tower. The tide was
high. but the skipper of tall-masted
vessel bound up the sound thought he
had room and to spare to clear the
bridge without housing his nasts. The
men at work on the scaffold happened to
look around at the right time. They
saw that they were in danger and leaped
to a place of safety. The topmast came
along, Tore one end of the scaffold loose,
and left il hanging by the other end.
The paint pots went into the river, as the
vessel swayed to one side. Had the
worlSmen remained on the scaffold they
would have been thrown into the water,
and undoubtedly that would have meant
death to them.
The bridge is painted from top to
bottom every four years. The work is
/ done by what are known as bridge
painters. They are men who receive the
/ ordinary wages of house painters,' but
get more constant employment through
being able to work in hazardous places.
They are sailors, most of them, and all
are practical riggers. They work on
elevated railroads, church steeples, flag
poles and any place where their COM
bined trades as riggers and painters are
/ in demand. Superintendent Martin, of
the bridge said the other day that there
was no difficulty in securing a supply
of this kind Of labor whenever it was
needed
About so men have been at work in
painting the bridge for nearly a month.
The work will be completed about De-
cember 1. The painting is done by the
days work system. Superintendent
Martin said that he did not know what
the cost of the renovation would be.
I'VE buy the material" he said. "and
ray the men their wages. After is all
done we can figure it all up"
Haven't you any approximate idea
as TO the cost?" he asked.
Not the slightest"
Don't you remember about what it
cost four years ago-whether it was
$4,000 or S1OO,OOO?"
"Really, 1 couldn't tel you. If it was
a contract job I'd know at once"
Mr.. Martin at first said that he didn't
believe that the mast of any vessel had
swept the scaffold of the painters from
under the bridge lie made an inquiry
at once, however, and found that such
an accident had occurred, but had not
been reported to HMM. Y. Sun.

The Order of Elks has done itself
credit by suspending the lodge which
elected to membership that big bruiser,
Bob Fitzsimmons, and then refused to
expel him when ordered to do 50 by the
Grand Lodge Of Missouri. Fitzsimmons
is in no sense an actor He is nothing
more than a pugilist who finds it profit
able to exhibit himself in the guise of
an actor. We have no doubt that local
members OF the order are as well

TAKE 1T OUT OF POLITICS.
We have always Thought that both
Mr.. Cleveland and MI Mckinley were
ill-advised in opposing the passage Of
the joint resolution recognizing the
belllgerency OF the Cuban insurgents.
In our opinion nobhing was to be gain
cd, and TO our knowledge nothing has
been gained, by leaving the question
open and so keeping ii alive as an agent
OF excitement and irritation. IL would
have been FAR better TO receive such a
measure, and to veto Ii in terms that
would have admitted Of NO misunder-
standing. The former president should
have met and uhe incumbent president
should now meet the issue fairly,
squarely and courageOusly. IL is too
hate for Mr.. Mckinley to resort to the
eXpedient Of receiving a joint resOlu-
tlon of Congress and SELLING the occa-
sion Tor a frank and full declaration OF
the administration policy That op-
porunity has passed, and the miscnlef
now threatening us must be aVerIed, IL

IsHAM g. HARRIs' HONESTY.

An incident in the career of the lat

i'm most of his obituaries is so illustra
tive of the senator's character that II
deserves recalling and remembrance
When the Confederacy fell there was /
his possession as governor of Tennessee
500. coo In gold belonging to the state
school fund AS an ardent Southern
svmpathizer. Governor Harris was de-
sirous of preventing this money from
falling into the hands of "Parson'
Rrownlow and the other officials of the
new state government. He took it with
him, therefore, when he avoided capture
by flight to Mexico and, after remain
ing in that country for eighteen
months, carried the treasure to Eng
] land. Many another Confederate offi-
Ger. state, municipal and military, did
much the same thing with public funds
but not quite all Of them, if rumors
can be trusted. initiated the subsequent
course of Governor Harris. After he
had been in England a year, affairs had
SO quloted down in the United States
that he could safely return. So back he
/ came. and with him he brought the
/ SlOO. 600. still in gold, and turned every
cent Of Il into the Tennessee treasury
OF course this was only simple hon
esty. but IL must be remembered thai
Harris had lost every penny of his OWL
! large fortune i'm the rebellion, and thai
he might have used the argument which
others i'm his position are said to have
i found valid, that Confederate money

SAVE MONEY AND SAVE BOYS.

We doubt the expediency or business
sense OF the Levy Court in permitting
the Ferris Industrial School die for
want OF financial support It has be-
come practically a pubNc institution. 1t
is an annex to New Castle Jail. Within
its walls the young who have criminal
tendencies are confined and taught les
sons, which are calculated tomakegood,
law-abiding citizens of them If they
do not go to the school they will nat
urally drift to the Jail. and If they once
drift to the Jail their surroundings and
associations will be very apt to convert
them into hardened criminals, and they
will probably be on the county nearly
all their lives.
If the Levy Court can now have them
cared for and redeemed for $4,000 a
year, it is cheaper than having them
cared for at the Jail and ruined for all
time to come. This is the selfish way
OF looking at IT, The Jail at New Castle
is already crowded with prisoners. TO
drive these boys from the industrial
school to such a place would of itself
be a criminal act on the part OF the
members of the Levy Court. We be-
lieve that when they consider the mat
ter in all its bearings they will come to
the conclusion that the demand Of the
managers for the appropriation denied
them last Spring is not only just, but
in the line OF economy and justice.
Il means not only the saving Oi
