AN Excellent Thing in Woman

There are girls who seem to fancy
their friends are possessed of gutta-
percha ear drums. If there is any one
thing that a girl can do whichwill make
her unattractive sooner than talking in
a loud voice IL has yet to be discovered.
She is branded as uncouth, uncultured,
un-everything. Voices are like gowns
as long as they suit the occasion they
are correct and their impression always
good. Good common sense must direct
where the force should be applied. one
of the greatest faults in talking is COM
mitted by placing the force incorrectly.
How often the word and" OF so little
real Importance in the sentence, is made
most conspicuous. The secret of really
effective talking lies in placing the
force on the words of most meaning in
the sentences. Care can cultivate this
power. The pitch of voices exercises
the greatest influence over us. We inn
medately read the character OF a
high-voiced person as irritable and ner-
vous. pitched voices seem TO i'm
ply a strong and even temperament. No
end Of pleasant things are written about
high. clear voices silver tones and
ringing laughs, hut brought into con-
START -uyu THESE sometimes beautiful
tones degenerate into shrillness. or even
squeakiness. For all-around. everyday

high has the best wearing qualities

While the weary woman was grind
ing, the Italian went on tour with an
oyster shell. Mr.. FAINT dropped penny
into IL. not because he liked music. but
because the little 'un liked it. and the
other scribes contributed a ha'penny
apiece for very much the same reason.
For the little 'un patronized them all.

Mr.. FAINT was first favorite. She had
taken To him from the outset, and dur
ing the twelve months of their ac-
quaintance had shown such a marked
preference for his society that the 9TH
ers had facetiously christened him
Uncle" and she unhesitatingly ac-
cepted the relationship.
Generally speaking. Mr.. FAINT was
not expansive or genial, but the sight
OF the little 'un and the touch of her
wheedling hands thawed the frozen
heart OF him mlraculOusly, so that ne
would laugh with her, and play with
her. and chatter TO her in baby Eng

There had been a time when the 1T

given to preposterous and incredible
rumor concerning Mr.. FAINT, which
shall be repated for what IL Is worth.
The little 'un lived down Buffers

North Star. Mr.. FAINT did not live down
that court. and was never seen TO go
into IL. Nevertheless. IL was alleged
against him by indefinite persons that
he had been observed TO lurk in But

tor as he came out of a certain house
there. Further, IL was represented that.
taking advantage OF the door OF thas
house being always open for the con-
venience Of tenants, he had been de-
tected lodging In and upstairs I'm fur

grapes in his hands, and his pockets
bulging with oranges. Worse than this,
IL was said that IN order 10 justify his
visits he deliberately passed himself off
on the little .uns mother as the school
board man, and was not discovered in
this outrageous hyprocracy until the
little 'un got we'll enough TO denounce
him.

Gloucester TO the Iowa.

any other man has lost i'm modern times,
stepped on 10 the quarter deck. the
crew of the Iowa broke out into cheers,
and for fully a minute Admiral Cervera
stood bowling his thanks. 1t was the
recognition Of gallantry by brave men,
and the recipient of IL was fully aware

Hawallans Want too Much.

Washington, September 11.-Admiral
Bradford, chief of the bureau of equip
ment, and General Wilson, chief of the
engineers, have been in consultation
respecting the improvement of Pearl
harbor, Hawaii, with view to the es-
tablishment of naval station there,
as directed by congress. An unexpect-
ed and serious obstacle to the execution
of the project has been encountered in
the shape Of refractory real estate
holders. Having exhausted all other
proper methods the officials have de-
termined to proceed to acquire the nee
essary lands through condemnation
proceedings, having satisfied them
selves that this can be accomplished
under the Hawaiian laws as they stand
today.
