The YOUNG VOICE.

a Woman May LOOfs ola and Act old,
INT still De Youthful.
With the summer hotel assurance q
number of women were spcculating
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.
for 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 1 know
by her voice. There's rarely any mis-
taking nor Disgusting that. II is one
of the few things that is nearly always
certain test of years. The girl of
whom you speak has a young voice.
1t is undeveloped; certain notes in it
have neverbeen struck. Its deepest and
highest registers have not as yet been
called into play. 1t isn't a 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
abilities and innocence and joy in the
untried and unknown. Ii is a voice
with a future, and as nothing else does
it let's us know that the girl is one with
future. Scientists say that every
thought, emotion and experience is reg
istered upon the voice-that the eyes
themselves are not more impressionable
10 such influences. by the voice alone
the trained observer can tell you more
about a persons character and eondi-
ton 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 involuntarily
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
as yet no artifcer has been able TO catch
and keep and sell at so much per bot

is said TO be purely conjectural. as no
such move has taken form thus far by
the exchange OF notes. II is accepted
as settled that no more ships intended
for the American navy can leave the
ports Of those countries which have de-
clared their neutrality. This result Is
most serious in the case Of the cruiser
Albany. now at the Armstrong yards,
Elswick, England. The view among
diplomatic officials is that neither the
Albany nor the torpedo boat Somers
can leave, even though the United
States flag was raised over them before
the proclamation OF neutrality was is
sued. 1t Is said the raising of the flag
cannot avoid the manifest uses of the

Most PeriIous rart OF Painting the
brooklyn bridge.

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. tbs done while the men are on
scafrold that hangs underneath the
bridge structure. A fall from almost
any place on the bridge means death
90 the painters, and IL matters little to
them where they are at work, so far
as an unsteadiness from the fear of fall
ing is concerned. But when they are
at work swinging underneath the
bridge they must keep an eye open for
danger that confronts them in no ether
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 by springing from their
scaffold to the beams Of the bridge II
was on September IL 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 masts. The
men ut work on the scaifold happened to
look around at the right time. They
saw that they were in danger and leaped
to place of safety. The topmast came
along, tore one end of the scaffold loose,
and left it hanging by the other end.
The paint pots went into the river, as the
vessel swayed TO one side. Had the
workmen 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 riggors. 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 IL was
needed.
About 50 men have been at work in
painting the bridge for nearly month
The work viii be completed about De.
cember l. The painting is done by tho
days work system. Superintendent
Martin said that he did not know what
the cost of the renovation would be.
1--WE buy the material" he said, "ant
pay the men their wages. After It is al
done we can figure it all up"
Haven't you any approximate idei
as TO the cost?' he asked.

Don't you remember about what i
cost four years ago-whether IL wal
| $4,000 or S1o0,O002'
Really, couldn't tel you. II it wal

Mr.. Martin at first said that he didn'
believe that the mast Of any. vessel hai
swept the scaffold Of the painters fror
under the bridge. He made an inquir
at once, however, and found that sucl
an accident had occurred, but had no
been reported TO him.-N. Y. Sun.

Aguinaldo goes as their representative.
He VIII take charge OF the insurgent
forces at Manila. Commodore Dewey
has issued strict orders that no barbar-
GUS or inhuman acts are to be perpe-
trated by the insurgents.
"The primary object is the capture Of
the Spanish fleet, which Commodore
Dewey thinks more important than cap
turing Manila. He is determined to
prevent It's preying upon American YES
sells. on reaching Manila he will de-
mand it's capitulation within half an
hour Of his arrival. His men are IN the
best spirits and excellent health. There
have been nine desertions, including six
Cinnamon, one italian and one German
during the fleets stay at Hongkong.

The ships are cleaned and painted for
battle, and the general opinion is that
the fight in these waters viii result in
an easy victory for America. Her ships
carry 122 guns as against 80 or there
abouts in the Spanish fleet.
"The cooperation Of the American
fleet with the rebels has been kept a
strict secret. The latter await the ar
rival of the fleet, when Manila must
soon succumb. It's defenses are In a
wretched state. The Americans in the
Philippines are anxious to see British
rule established there, and the proposal
has been favorably received here. The
Manila press, on the contrary, says
there is great enthusiasm among the
population of Spain and that an obsti-
nate resistance will be offered TO the
Americans, but the papers qualify this
! bold allegation by referring 10 the
phlegmatic character Of the natives
which prevents any excited expression
OF opinion. These journals say, too,
that the treason of a few hundreds or a
/ few thousands of the rebels does not
affect the virtue of the race, and they
haughtily add that the Philippines will
prove worthy of Spain"
