A Legend of the Violin.

An ancient legend tells us that one
day as Orpheus, son of Apollo and the
muse Calliope, was walking by the
sea, trilling in soft cadence Il song
taught him by the celebrated teacher
Limos, he was attracted by the sound
of sweet music, which seemed but the
echo of his own glorious voice. He
walked along, singing, and the sound
approached, as if to meet him. till fin
ally it sang at his very feet.
Glancing down, he saw the shell of
n turtle, which had been cast high
and dry upon the beach and left there
by the receding waves. The little
thing had died and dried up so that
only the sinews, shrive1ed to strings,
and the shell remained. The dried up
sincws We're tightly stretched across
the hollow shell, and the wind, as it
listed, touched the strings, causing
them to vibrate over the shell sound
ing board and give forth the sweet,
sad tones.
Enchanted, he bore his treasure
home and from it fashioned the vol
shell, with which he ever after accom-
panied his voice, and the nymph, Fury
dice, enchanted by its magic, became
his bride. p

TO THE Pl BLlc.

NY age is fourteen months or SO;
I've taught myself to walk,
But / am not concerned to know
How / shall learn to talk;
In fact, how any babe who lives
Both day and night among
His idiotic relatives
Can learn the English tongue.
And therefore would make it clear
(Nor deem the act amiss)-
What chance have we when all we hear
Is language such as this:
"Ze pecious singl" cor wootsy woots!"
His muzzer's tunnin' pet!"
"Ze itty, pity, witty toots!"
Now what does danma det?"
They tell me that drinks "dink;"
My fingers "fingies' are;
That think is "sink,f or also fink"
And that a cars "tar."
With "tumpty tump" and chow WOW
wow,"
And "diddly, diddly, dec,'
And other phrases that, | vow,
Are useless, quite, to me.
So when from mother, aunt and all
I've gained moments grace,
With none to clutch me lest | fall,
Or stare NE in the face,
Eve printed out this statement rude
(The letters learned with pain
From cans of patent baby food),
And hope It's not in vain
Edwin l.. Sabin, in the Woman's Home
Companion.

The self-conscious woman.

1t is no libel on the sex to say that
all women are instinctively fond of
dress. 1t is fact that is, self-evident
to everybody, even to the women them
selves.
1t is nearly as true, if not equally,
that all women are clothes-conscious
A man may be dressed either in his
best or his worst, and he is, apparently,
quite unaware of it. But a woman
never forgets any detail of the gar
ments which environ her. She is all
the time on the watch lest some ele-
ment of her clothing be out of kilter
or in a position or condition where it
cannot assert itself to the uttermost
or hide away most covertly, either as
the object may be display or conceal
ment.
Possessed of the idea that the plac-
quet of her gown is gaping, or that the
fastening of her belt is not as it should
be, you see her hand coming around to
investigate; then she has to feel of her
back hair to make sure that it is in
prcsentable condition; next her hat has
to be straightened or she is impressed
that her rear collar button is misbehav-
ing. And so if you walk in front or
behind woman, you will notice-if
you are of the noticing kind-that she
has her hands full and her mind occ1-
pied by her clothing.
1t is really a wonder that won IN
have any thought for other matters.
That they do think of other things
while apparently thinking of nothing
but the clothes they stand in may be
accepted as proof of their superiority
over the bfped, man. No man could be
as clothes-conscious as the women are
and attend to business. Columbus (O.)

vided with the latest novelty in dress
pair of cuffs on the elbow of her
sleeves. Cuffs are supposed to belong
to the terminal of the sleeve; one looks
for plain band at the wrist, or for
cuffs of different shape. The shoulder
epaulettes or sleeve caps" are often
cuffs in effect, only applied at the
armsize instead of at the wrist.
In its migration from wrist to
shoulder the cuff has now paused mid
way on the sleeve, at, or just above,
the elbow joint. 1t is only used where
the sleeve has bruffaut undersleeve,
or middle third, Stimulating this full
ness. The elbow cuff is placed above
the undersleeve, marking the point
where the upper arm sleeve descends
as a sheath over that covering the
forearm.
Two cuffs are commonly used at each
elbow. One is set slightly inside and
the other rises above it. Both are high
on the outside of the arm, and curve
down to an inch-wide strip at the in
side Of the curve of the elbow. Both
cuffs are of cloth, and are invariably
piped with velvet of the same shade,
or one slightly darker than that of the
cloth cuff. Sometimes the lower edge
of the undersleeve is gathered beneath
a similar cuff of cloth, piped with vel
vet at the wrist.

Care of the Voice.

The culture and training Of the voice
is one of the best means of promoting
the general health. This is due mainly
to the formation Of correct habits of
breathing. One cannot sing or speak
well without understanding the action
OF the lungs. These have been likened,
in their Importance and use to the
vocal cords, to the bellows of the
organ. The lungs are never emptied
of air in breathing. III ordinary
breathing very little of tho air which
fills them is displaced. In forced ex-
piration, such as accompanies singing,
the old, residual air." as it Is called,
is forced out, and replaced by fresh air.
This in turn stimulates the circulation,
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-12-28

and thus the whole processes Of the
body are helped and vitalized
The greatest injury is done to the
delicate mechanism of the larnyx by
frequent colds. The vocal cords are
thickened and inflamed, and sometimes
injured beyond repair by these repeat
ed indammations, many of which occur
In childhood. One should not be over
whimsical about draughts, but it is true
that they are injurious to the vocal
cords. The latter are also very suscep-
tible to the evil influences of irritating
conditions. Air laden with impurities,
such as smoke or dust, passing through
the narrow passage formed by the vo-
cal cords leaves its deleterious impress
upon them.-Dr. Grace Peckham Muir

A Military Touch on Gowns.

A military touch on gowns and sep
arate waists for youthful wearers is
brought out very prettily by using a
band of red velvet for the standing col
lar and trimming it with rows OF very
narrow gold braid, put on in tiny coils
or straight lines. The collar may be
all of red if the color of the waist will
permit it. This is illustrated on a
waist Of cream-white creped satin
where the collar is of red satin, nearly
covered with lines Of fine gold braid
and matching cuffs and pointed girdle.
