proper breathing is so essential in
voice production that it must receive
first attention, and the first requirement
is to keep the mouth shut, writes
Katharine E. Junkermann in The Wo-
man Home Companion.
.Of course no tone can be either
strong or pure if the lungs are cramped
so that the air cannot find room. In or

unwarmcd air entering the lungs the

The chinaman's "Roll."

Of all the men who make their way
about on the streets or in the street cars
in this frosty weather, John Chinaman
is the most comfortably clad, and, there
fore, the most comfortable. He does not
look it, but the Chinaman has the knack
of getting lot of warm quilted cloth
ing next to his yellow skin. His blouse
is, of course. of heavy material, and the
thick soles Of his odd shoes keep his feet
warm.
Neither does John have to fdget
around and inhibition his clothing, ex-
posing himself to the cold blasts that
blow through the street car. to fish out
his nickel for fare. Before he leaves
home he sticks nickel in his ear-right
handy to reach when the conductor
comes around.
In just what part of his odd clothing
John carries his money is problem not
even the long and the short men have
been able to solve The average China
man carries a bundle "big enough to
choke horse, as the saying is. but,
though often tried. no hold up man has
ever prospected successfully for the roll
in his victims mysterious wraps, and
the average thief would just as soon

as a Chinaman. Chicago Chronicle

A VICTIM OF TELEPATHY.
His Absurd Derusions Finally Ban-
ished by TIE Hypnotic Route.

Ills Absurd DeIuStOns Finally Ban
fshed by TIE Hypnotic Route.
There came to me late one night o
stranger in widest despair resolved to
commit suicide that night if I could
not help him, says Professor Munster
berg in The Atlantic. He had been O
physician. but had given up his prac-
tice because his brother, on the other
side Of the ocean, hated him and had
him under his telepathio influence,
troubling him from over the sea with
voices which Knocked him and with i'm
pulses to foolish actions. He had not
slept nor had he eaten anything for
several days, and the only chance for
life he saw was that new hypnotic in
fuence might overpower the mystical
hypnotic forces
soon found the source Of his trou-
BILE. In treating himself for wound he
had misused cocaine in an absurd way,
and the Authorizations Of voices were
the chief symptom of his cocainism.
These products of his poisoned brain
had sometimes reference to his brother
in Europe, and thus the telepathic sys-
tenn grew in him and permeated his
whole life. hypnotized him, and sug-
gested to him with success to have
sleep and food and a smaller dose of
cocaine. Then I hypnotized him daily
for six weeks After ten days he gave
up cocaine entirely, after three weeks
the voices disappeared, and after that
the other symptoms faded away. Itwas
not, however. until the end that the
telepathic system was exploded.
Even when the voices had gone he
for awhile felt his movements controlled
over the ocean, and after six weeks
when I had him quite well again. he
laughed over his telepathic absurdities,
but assured me that if these sensations
came again he should oe unable, even in
full health, to resist the mystical inter
probation, so wildly had he felt the
distant influences.

Something very strange and unusual
has happened in Havana, Cuba. The
finance department of that province re-
ports a surplus of $5S4,966 after paying
all expenses, and the Havanese are
overwhelmed with establishment. Dur
ing all the years of Spanish regime this
department never once showed sur
plus, but on the contrary deficit fol-
lowed deficit. All of which furnishes
an extremely interesting commentary
upon the difference between American
and Spanish methods in the way of con-
1ucting the business of the govern
