THE WONDER OF TIE WORLD
The Telephone is Faint Hesemr
lance OF the Voice that Moses Heart
ON Sinai.

The Telephone is n Faint Resemb-
lance OF the Voice that Moses Heard
ON Sinai.
The wonder of the world is the tec-
phone. Everything else can be &C
counted for and explained, but when
explanation is made in full of how the
telephone works, the mystery still re
mains, for, 10, tho voice Of friend
hundreds OF miles away comes sound
ing beside one, rs though face to face,
and the fact is mado clear that there
Is divinity In that voice that dis
tance, and roaring storms and all the
clamors of a mig h 0y world cannot break
one tone Of. 1t Is as when the Infinite
spoke to Moses On Sinai, as when, after
all the clamors had passed, tho still
small voice smOte upon the ears Of the
seer and he know that God was nigh.
One asks question, his own voice
dies away in the room in which he
sits, but a moment later out Of the
darkness voice replies, and he knows
that his question has penetrated all
the space for hundreds OF miles, and
| that the answer has come and brought
with 1t all the tones that love or friend
ship would demand for Identification.
1t Is easier than formerly to believe
that the prayer preferred Is recorded
on the receiver of eternity and in somo
way is proof of mans dominion over
not only the earth, but all it's elements,
and that he has been from the first
possessed o Of divinity which is sufficient
to command and make servant OF
mere matter, thai his place is, after
all, only q little lower han the angels,
and that when the environment Of this
world shall be cast of he will find thai
instead of death being close it is bu
the opening gate to higher and frccl
life. We hear q bell, and voice tina
we have not heard for months or year!
responds, and go we know that voice Ii
still, with all the old tones, to b.
heard. Who shall say that when an
other summons comes we shall no
hear voices that we thought had gon'
out forever In whispers, hear thcn
with all the old rythm sweetness
Listening, there Is brought to US tn,
music OF an orchestra playing hun

shall we hear when the fiual key |

mountains, the boom OF cataract

OF them interpose any barrier
what will be that music that will COM
to us when all the barriers are re

strikes the far-of mighty, but incom
parably sweet refrain?

HEROES Or. THE TIsANSVAAL.
Seven Brave Soldiers Gave Their
Lives That Their Comrades Might
ESCaDe,

Seven Brave Soldiers Gave Their
Escape.
The story on the wires Of the re-
markable matyrdOm OF sevon bravo
Boer soldiers is winning the attention
of the civilized world today, says the
Augusta Hera d, and has caused to
spring up anew In many an American
breast the hope that the Boers may
not be wiped out as nation by the
helming force that is crushing
down upon them.
At the Elandsgaate battle q command
OF Beers were caught on the rocks by
u large force Of British. The British
were advancing slowly. Should they
corner tho command ali would be
taken prisoners who did not fall in the
attempt OF u hundred men to over
whelm Thousand. There was but
one chance Of through an
open space, and, while the mon were
exposed TO an open lire in passing
through this opening, the British
could NOW them down. 1t was neces-
sary to resort to strategy.
Suddenly the British were amazed
to see eight Boer infantrymen make q
sOrtie on the space between the fight
ing lines. Standing erect they com
menced q deadly fire into the British
lines. lB d moment every British
rifle was turned upon them. They re-
turned the fire as best they could.
Finally seven Of them fell in death,
cut to pieces by English rifle balls.
But shout WAS heard to ring out.
The British advanced in its direction,
1t came from the beleaguered Beers
on the rocks. When the British fire
had been sent after the eight patriot
martyrs, the Boer command had clear
ed the space and had escaped. These
eight mon had go gone out to give thei'
lives that their comrades might ei
cape. They knew they were going t
certain death.
This act was grander than Hobson'
which Americans have lauded and al
plauded greater than that at Thel
mopylae, which world has told of /
song and story. Such devotion to
cause, such martyrdom, such self-sacrl
fee, wins admiration for and devotee
for any cause.
An English general withdrew from
the continental war when he found 81
American general subsisting solely OF
sweet potatoes. If that spirit live
now in Her Majesty's army, there will
in consequence of this martyrdom, bt
retirements from the Transveal.

PRACTICE READING ALOUD.

ut will surprise every girl who has
not already grown to a realization of her
shortcomings in this direction to hear
how little of the authors thought she
brings out when she reads aloud
writes Katherine f. Junkerinan Civ
ing instructions on The cultivation
of the Speaking Voice" in the June
Woman's Home Companion. THE
mcnotony of her voice will surprise
her, too. and her throat will grow
tired. She will stumble or hesitate at
unfamiliar words even though she
knows their meaning thoroughly, just
as one who reads music readily Will
display it from lack of practice. OF
course, you think you understand about
what you are reading. but When you
read abound you must not only do this:
you must make it clear to the listeners.
The eye can travel more rapidly than the
voice, so that it is easy to read a few
words ahead and get the meaning before
the voice needs take up the words. BY
doing this, continuity of expression is
insured, consequently continuity of
thought on the part of the reader is pos
sible.
1T is a very rare thing to hear a good
conversationalist who does not read we'll,
and they are the first to acknowledge the
help their reading has afforded them. In
reading aloud new words are brought to
us, and we familiarize ourselves with
them, and also with the mechanism of
~pronouncinG them, so that the risk in
using them when we talk is small In
reading graCes of expression ana new ar
rangement OF words come to our notice,
and we can acquire them; depth and ver-
satility of thought grow to be ours
by assimilating the thoughts of others,
and that most desirable thing of all,
a large vocabulary. also becomes ours,
What girl has not stumbled and blum
dered vocally seeking an apt word to
express her thought? And who among
US has not listened to the e~xtravagant
How perfectly lovely!' applied to all
sorts of things, from the newest in
shirt waists to a snoW-capped peak of
the Rockies? If girls read aloud more
they would acquire a better idea Of the
value of words, and use them more APP

NOBLE SUPER.

NJ. Foutet, hairdreser n wigmaker of
the Coincide Franchise and other theaters
of Paris, has been sporting a narrow vio-
let ribbon for the last few days. He has
been decorated by the Academy. NJ. Pou-
tet has made wigs for all the leading act
ors who nave played in comedy for the
last so years.
One day Poutet had to find a suitable
wig for a super who was called upon at a
moments notice to take an actors place
in a drama. He was to play the part of a
king, but he had nothing to do except to
lead a procession across the stage.
The scene represented a church on the
right and an inn on the left. The process
sion was to enter the church, but the SUI
per was stricken with one of those
spasms of genius which sometimes illum-
mate great actors and great kings. Dr.
was it Foutet's wig that had turned his
head? Who can tell? The fact remains
that instead of leading the cortege into
the cathedral, he boldly entered the caba-
ret, followed by his noble lords and
armed retainers.
The director behind the scenes was wild
with rage.
What have you done. villain?" he
cried.
Why do you ask me that?" replied the
super, with a majestic bearing. Il am
a king, and do what pleases mel"
