Theories Concerning the Voice.

One very interesting theory held by
some vocalists is that the natural
register of the speaking voice indicates
the individual character of the speaker
as do the lines on the palms of the hand.
For instance, high soprano voice ex-
presses JOY and merriment. Complex
natures, who carry on two qualities OF
thought at once, speak in harmonies,
with several notes at a time, and have
magnetic voices. The minor voice be-
trays lack Of confidence, the major voice
indicates intense vitality. The mental
attitude shows itself in a voice with a
sliding downward scale, as in most
teachers voices. Other instructors
methods go so far as TO say that all who
can talk may sing, if willing faithfully
to devote their time and energy to tho
cause.-Fannie c. W. Barbour, in Chau-
tauquan.

Water in the African Desert.

Artesan wells sunk in the African
desert appear to find an abundant sup
ply Of water without going very deep
for it, and this fact may in time put
new face on desert conditions, in
yolving important political, climatic
and economical consequences. The
English have begun sinking them along
the Berber-Sualtim road, finding water
there as abundant as it was in the re-
gions near the Nile when their first ex-
perimental wells were put down. Flow
ing under the Saharam sands there NAV
be water enough TO fertilize cases all
over its sterile expanse and rescue it in
a measure from its historic barrenness
and desolation. Some years ago n
French engineer proposed to cut a canal
from the Mediterranean to the lower
desert levels, thus creating a new in
land sea, or, rather, restoring an old
one; but for some reason the project
was abandoned. Local irrigation nv
means of artesian borings is a more iu-
1icious eXpedient, and the English
having pointed the way in this direc-
ton the French are quite likely to fol-
low 1t. Only a narrow desert belt sem
arates their possessions in north and
middle Africa, reaching from the Med
iterranean to the Niger, and it is quite
worth their while to fertilize it and
plant it with palm groves and date or

woe water enough to supply their pres
ent caravans and perhaps their IN ture
loeomotives.-Chicarn Trihnnn

FARM ERS' PLANS.
The Wise Farmer Plans to Raise Home
Supplies.

Let us outline, if we can, how a wise
farmer plans. First and foremost he
arranges to raise home supplies-his
bread, meat, milk and butter, chickens,
turkeys and ducks. He sees clearly
that TO raise cotton to sell and buy
these he has TO pay profits and commits
sion TO other farmers who raise them;
to merchants who buy and ship them;
to railroads which haul them; to his
merchant who sells them to him for
at least four profits over and
above the first coast of produc-
ton, and he see no reason
why he should not pocket those profits
himself, for every dollar saved is dol
lar made. lie will raise not only
enough supplies for his own family,
but for his laborers also, for if these
have to buy from merchants the labor
ers will have to pay the four profits
mentioned above, and he might as well
secure those profits for himself. lie
will raise not only enough supplies, but
variety of them, knowing that varie-
ty is not only pleasing to the palate,
but con tributive to health and vigor,
and may save him many doctors bill.
The bill of fare of farmers generally is
too limited and not varied enough
good as far as it goes, but too much
sameness about it. After these general
considerations, let us particularize
