cry on the outside at the pointed
end au initial letter, a bird or tiny
spray of flowers.
The way to make the rings is as
follows: Cut the linen in strips about
two and quarter inches wide and
eight inches long, which allows ct
one-quarter inch turning ell round.
A true half square point is made at
one end of each eight-inch strip before
the rings are made up. The en-
broidery is also done on the upper
piece before putting together, and the
design placed near, but not too close
to the pointed end, so that when but
toned the design will be uppermost,
thus enabling the members of a family
to distinguish their own rings at
glance.
The embroidered piece is then
sewn TO a plain piece for lining. turned
through the square end, smoothed,
pulled into shape, the square blind
stitched up, and tiny trail of French
briar stitch of French dots carried oil
around the ring to keep the edges in
shape. A buttonhole is worked III
the point and the ring completed by
button at tia other end.
With regard to the button which is
placed on the square end, it is not
necessary to have very elaborate
one, as anything neat will serve the
purpose as we'll. When selecting o
button it should not be too small, as
most people, especially the male por-
tion, like something substantial to get
hold of. Anything from q linen or
pearl to neat enamel button will look
extremely we'll, or if buttons with
shanks are used, the shanks can be
sewn in place on an eyelet hole made
at the square end of the linen, and the
shank put through and secured by a
ring or small tape tie on the under
side, this being great advantage
should the rings require washing. The
same rings, made little larger, make
very handsome handkerchief OF music
holders, and are really very nice
birthday presents. -Woman's Life.

Tn Terror of the Laws.

A young wheelman, n friend of mine,
was pretty we'll scaredthe other morn
ing when riding down South Pearl
street by the city building. Ee had
attached to his wheel q newly patented
bicycle lamp that burns pyepared
carbon and throws o powerful light a
good distance. Chief Higgins saw the
rider approaching and noticed ; the
lamp. He hailed the rider and sasked
him to stop. My friend feared that he
had transgressed some city ordinance
ana stood trembling while the chief
examined the lamp, commented favor
ably upon the wheel and said 1"That
seems to me to be good kind of lamp
for us to adopt for the department. i
think will investigate it and report
20 the board" My friend felt relieved
and passed on to his home. Albany

OUR PECULIAR NA' al TWANG.
American Inrynsolosicn1 Society
Studying Our National Habit.

American Inryngologicn1 Society
Studying Our National Habit.
Just why Americans have peculiar
nasal twang has never been satisfac-
torily explained, nor has tie twenty
first annual congress of the American
Laryngological Society, which has just
been concluded; thrown much light on
the subject. The opinions expressed
by the various throat specialists upon
the subject were so diverse and scien-
tific that the layman is left but little
the wiser
One point, however; received univcr'
sal acceptance, and that was that the
climate was not the cause, OF, at any
rate, not the sole cause, Of the twang
that is invariably described with the
term "Iankee." The nasal twang Is
not limited to the New England States;
but has spread all over the continent,
and as the climate varies almost to ex-
tremes throughout the country, 1t was
scarcely fair to ascribe to it all the
changes that take place in the larynX
and vocal chords, and which produce
the unpleasant twafis.
DR.. Shedson; Makuen Of Philadelphia
told the association that he attributed
the high tension in the voice to the
high tension of American life. When
person is excited OF hurried the voice
always becomes high pitched, and it
does not take long before the habit IS
formed, and the voice assumes nasal
twang. ,t.
To show that it was not question of
race that would account for the twang
Of she American voice, like the cultural
voice of the Dutch or the peculiar type
Of nasal voice of the French, 1t was
pointed out that our English cousins
had voices of an agreeably low pitch.
Comparatively few Englshmen suffer
from nasal catarrh or affection OF the
larynx. while it is the exception to find
an American who Is unaffected by
some similar affection. 1T might very
we'll be the case that the nasal twang
is the cause of the larynI being af-
fected instead of what is generally be-
lleved-the nasal twang being caused
by the nasal catarrh.
Still another specialist DR.. Thomas
Hubbard of Toledo. advanced the the
ory that high pitched voices were
caused by the endeavors of peole to
make themselves heard in noisy cities.
In order to make ones voice heard
above the din and hubbub Of d noisy
town or city 1t was necessary to use
top notes. This forced high pitch OF
ly, and an unpleasant voice is acquired.
the voice Is soon initiated unconscious
An enforced domicile among people
speaking with nasal twang. soon
leads one to acquire the habit. An
Engllshmen visiting this country in the
SPACE Of n few weeks acquires high
pitched voice. A European trip taken
by an American will often have the ef=
feet Of causing his voice to change
from high pitched to low pitched
tone. and the change will be perma-
rent so long as he refrainS from mix
ing with people who speak with n pro-
nounccd nasal twang. Unconscious

A Courageous Woman.

Mrs. Fowler, the wife of the keeper
Of the North Dumping Light, near
Fishers Island, has recently received
u letter of commendation from the
United States Lighthouse board for
her courage and thoughtfulness. 1t
happened that Mrs. Fowler was left
alone in tho lighthouse when the ma
chinery broke down, and after haz.
ardous climb she managed to ring the
lighthouse bell and so call assistance.
The lighthouse board expressed its
gratitude for ker thoughtful courage,
and stated thaS-it expected that, brave
:, and thoughtful men would be found in
its service, but to fnd woman able
at a perilous time to assume the duties
of an absent man and thus prevent

Apple-p1ants on the seashore.

the western shores of Null and Iona.
Thousands of apple-seeds have taken
root along the high water-mark of the

brador were strewn in much pro-
fusion. The stems are already from
two to five inches high, and the plants
are healthy and vigorous. The croft

The Gracious Lady of the White House.
. Very much has been said and writ
ten of Mrs. Mckinley, and yet the
half of her gentleness and beauty of
character has never been told, writes
Mrs; John A. Logan. Her most
charming characteristic is her perfect
sincerity and thoughtfulness for
others. No day passes over her head
I. without her doing something FOR some
sone. If she hears of m atfliction of
! any kind orertaking any one-no mat
ter how much stranger-she will i'm
mediately ordet something sent to
that person, if nothing more than
bunch OF flowers or cheering mes
sage; in some way she conveys her
sympathy and good wishes. Her
/: friends endeavor to keep from her
knowledge many instances of illness
or sorrow, because she Immediately
makes personal matter of them, and
is untiring in her interest until nil is
we'll again. No one ever heard her
utter complaint about her ill-bealth.
She is always bright and cheerful,
never in any way alluding to herself,
or to the affection that has held her
captive for more than twenty years.
Her refined face, sweet smile and ten
der expression, reflect the spirit of
resignation and loveliness which suf-
fering has wrought. She is interested
in everythings with the enthusiasm Of
the most vigorous and active of wom-
en-. Her busy fingers haze wrought
much for charity. Some time ago she
had finished more than $500 pairs of
knitted slippers for ladies' and chill
dren, all of which have been given to
friends or for charity to iuvalids.
Many of these slippers have been sold
sfor large sums at church and charity
fairs. It does not require an expert
to figure that by her own hands Mrs.
Mckinley has earned consider; e
SUI: for benevolent purposes. Her
example of continuous employment
demonstrates that occupation is the
surest defense against ennui and de-
preston of spirits and morbidness
from enforced confinement, most OF
the time within doors. Frank Les
