A NEGLECTED CHARM.


Women of refinement and educa-
ton IN other directions often speak in
harsh, nasal or indistinct cultural
tones, showing an entire want of care
and cultivation of the beautiful art of
familiar speaking. A musical-speak-
Ing voice, with clear enunciation, is
one OF the most restful and subtle
charms of personality, and unlike
most precious things it is within the
reach of almost any one who care to
have it. Have you never, in some
sudden pause and silence, been star
tied by the echoing ring of your own
voice in your ears? 1t had been rails
ed too high, perhaps, in argument or
ssKggeftulf569%R 56% qet thsa y6u VeFst WE'RE and n full
of chagrin, for half hour after that
experience ! There is a comforting
truth about this matter. A pleasing
voice and manner of speech can be ac-
quired by almost any one who is will
ing to give little attention and prac-
tice to it. First, as 1 have said, lis
ten to your own voice as you speak.
Involuntarily you will lower and sof-
ten it. Practice with your sister or
other girl associates each in turn and
each trying to improve her own nat
ural voice. DO not initiate, do not
make unnatural or affected changes,
but having tried your usual voice
critically, decide where it needs i'm
provement, and hold yourself to the
reformation. If you are like nine out
of every ten American girls your
voice is pitched too high. Lower it,
and make constant effort to keep it
down. Speak from the chest, not
from the throat or head. Practice the
modulation of your speaking voice as
patiently as a singer practices the
scales. 1t is worth while because it
is for the pleasure and good of all
around you more than for your own.
In the effort to keep your voice low
and gentle you will make the first
practical move toward a calm out
ward demeanor, and success in this
will impress Immediately the person
to whom you are speaking NO.

DIR. GAUNTT A VICTIM OF CONTAGIoN.

Dr.. Franklin Gauntt, who died at
Burlington, N. j., recently, practi-
cally gave up his life as the result of
his devotion to duty. His death was
due to the fact that some poisonous
matter entered his system through
punture on his finger caused by the
prick of thorn while picking rose.
While the wound on his finger was
still open DR.. Gauntt operated on two
patients, one of whom was very
dear friend. One of the patients had
a fatty tumor on his back and the
other suffered from similar tumor
on the head. In opening the tumors
some of the pus found lodgment in the
slight wound in the surgeon's S finger.
In short time the finger became abb
normally swollen and DR.. F. Allen
Gauntt, a son, advised the amputa-
ton of the arm to save the life of his
father. "It is no use, Frank" said
the veteran surgeon, "this will be the
death of me-" The arm was not am
putated. Day by bay the aged doctor
4
watched the progress ofthe germ that
was fast poisoning his whole system.
He saw it creeping up his arm and
stretching toward the vital organs,
and commented upon it as calmly as
if he were the physician and not the
patient. Finally the end came and
the doctor died as he had always liv-
ed, wrapped in the scientific study of
his pet theory. DR.. Guantt was
among the first physicians to expert
ment with the germ theory, and his
death seemed to be a strange exem-
plifcation of that idea. During the
half-century that he practiced he gain
ed national reputation, but when he
first began to experiment with germs
and microbes, and declared that con-
tagion and disease could be thus con-
veyed, he was laughed at and many
of the wise doctors significantly tap
ped their heads. Later all his views
were substantiated by scientific study,
and later still his own death proved
the wisdom of his words.

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA.

A correspondent of the Mew York
W0'N, writing about the Celestial
Empire complications, gives some in
teresting facts about the great wall of
China. The writer says:
Emperor William, of Germany,
declared few days ago that he
would not rest until the German flag
floats from the walls of Peking.'
1.-The walls of Peking are, of course,
a part of the great wall of China.
There is singular impertinence, not
to say colossal cheek, in this jaunty
threat of the German Emperor to
plant his conquering banner on the
greatest military work every con-
structed.
"The great wallo China was built
in ten years, and was finished 2o5
years before the birth of Christ.
Twenty-one centuries have had
scarcely any effect upon it. It is as
enduring as the pyramids. Equipped
with mode1u artillery and manned
with soldiersarmed and drilled in the
modern manrer, it would be as i'm
pregnable as the day it was finished.
"The projecting masses of stone
and brick which form its huge but
tresses are alone estimated to contain
more material than all the dwelling
houses in Great Britain. Careful
calculation long ago demonstrated
that the Chinese wall contains mate
rial more than sufficient to cover the
entire circumference of the earth on
two of its circles with two feet thick.
1t is nearly fifteen hundred miles
long, and is carried over the highest
mountains, the deepest valleys, across
wide rivers and over all manner of
natural obstacles. 1t is a greater
wonder than any of the so-called
Seven Wonders of the World 1t
surpasses, not only by its inmensity
but by the ingenuity of its engineer
ing devices and its marvellous stabili-
ty, every other effort of human labor.
"When we remember that this vast
achievement in science and art was
accomplished twenty-one centuries
ago we ought to blush for the arro-
gance of the nations of Europe
mere youngsters by comparison
who talk of the Chinese and assume
to deal with them as barbarians and
heather who need to be taught civil
lization.n -

A PLAN THAT FAILED.

"My wife is mad and I don't blame
her, and I'll tell you Why" said
Jones yesterday. eve have kept
house for twenty years, and I have
figured that during that time we have
had at least eighty hired girls, good,
bad and Indifferent, but mostly bad.

brag about it around the neighbor-
hood, with the result that one of the
neighbors enticed her away under
promise of paying her higher wages,
and my wife has not forgiven the
woman that did it to this day. Ever
since she has had dream that some
day she would be lucky enough to
draw another prize in the hired girl
market, and when she did she had her
plans all laid to keep her.
"Well, the other day the jewel was
secured, and Mrs. Jones simply hug
ged herself with delight when she re-
allied what a treasure she possessed.
"The girl had only been with us
one week when Mrs. Blank, one of
our neighbors, called and casually re-
marked that she saw we had another
girl.
"'Yes, answered Mrs. Jones, with
sigh, I'm only going to keep her
till 1 can get another. She is simply
unbearable She is insolent, lazy,
slovenly, impudent and doesn't know
enough to start the kettle boiling.
She"
"'You'r loir, mum T burst upon
her astonished ears, and there stood
the new girl in the door with all her
Irish up. An I'll have we to under
stand, mum, thot I'll not stay an
other minute in a house where they
blackguard a poor, hard-working
CUR rl's character 7 and with that she
flew to her room and packed up.
"Mrs. Blank has the girl now, and
she never loses a chance to tell what
treasure she has, and how Mrs.
Jones abuses her girls, which makes
my wife simply wild"

ASK FOR YOUR OLD HORSE SHOES.

Upon recent visit to blacksmith
shop, correspondent observed a
huge pile of old horse shoes, which
started him to think of the large num-
Der of generous customers who volun-
tarily contributed their old horse
shoes to this pile, and incidentally to
the gain of the blacksmith.
Have you ever thought that these
shoes had value, and that their
value should be your gain, and not of
the t i horss Piss Sh9s5i Shas5i that ths ela custom
and unreasonable? The shoes were
bought and paid for, and the old shoes
are consequently the property of the
purchaser and not of the blacksmith.
The average weight of set Of four
old shoes would be about four pounds
these at the present prices of scrap
wrought iron would be worth II to
I6 cents per set, thus making it an
item worth looking after.
You would not think of throwing
II to I6 cents on a pile on the black
smiths floor, or of allowing any one
to take that much money from you
then why should you allow the black
smith to take the old horse shoes from
you, without proper consideration,
and without asking your consent, or
without thanking you for them?
The blacksmith should pay you the
value of the old shoes, and if he will
not, ask for them, and take them
home with you and let your children
have the benefit of their value as
spending money.
Few people, perhaps, have any
idea Of the profit in horse. shoeing; it
will perhaps be sufficient to say that
the average horse shoer makes at least
one dollar clear profit on each new
set of shoes, and proportionally on all
other work thus you will see that
the pay of the average boss horse
shoer is considerable, which makes
the injustice of them taking posses
sion of the old shoes, without consid-
Grafton or consent, still more pro-
nounced and grasping .-Exchange.

WAIT TILL THE HARVEST Is DER.

A farmer came in to his dinner one day,
Very tired. disheartened and sad;
There was smut on the wheat, and the crop
wouldn't grow,
And everything turning out bad.
"Well. Mary" said he unto his good wife,
II know not whatever we'n do;
I've planted and sowed, but the things will not
grow,
1 can't think how to manage. can you?''
She gave him smile as she turned from her
work,
She, too. had her trials and woes;
Don't be so sad, John. the lane may soon turn,
And things all be righted, who knows?"
Weeks have passed by and the harvest is o'er,
And the barn running over with grain;
And everything growing so BEAUTIFULLY now,
For there has been bountiful rain.
When the farmer came in to his dinner that day,
His face was so bonny and bright;
"Oh. Mary, our wheat has turned out so well,
And the corn is a beautiful sight,"
She looked at him then, with a smile on her face,
Nov, John, let me say to you this,
IF will but wait till the harvoaf 10 o'cr,
We many heartache will miss"
And tits not only thus in the work-a-day world,
But in most other things may be so.
If we only can wait to see the outcome,
There may be no need for our woe.

THE ANCIENT NAME OF SMITH.

Among the yet unpublished Curl
osities of the Petrie papyri is list of
names connected with the manufac-
ture of beer, which we know to have
been apopular drink in ancient Egypt.
These names have figure after each
of them, so that the document is evil
IDENTIFY an account of what each had
done, or of what he had to supply.
Many of the names are so odd, and so
unlike either Greek or Egyptian
names, that we suspect them to be abb
breviations, which merely indicate
the full name, and perhaps the fa-
theirs name. Even so, the slight
variants we find in the often repeated
list gives us but occasional help.
There is one which appears regularly
in the same form, and of which we
can give no further explanation. 1t
is the name of Smith-unmistakably
written. We have never found any
thing like it before, and it is surely
worth telling the many distinguished
bearers of the name that there was a
man known as Smith in the twentieth
century of the third Ptolemy, 227
B. c., and that he was occupied in
brewing beer or in selling it. Is
there any other English name COM
parable to this in antiquity?

AGES OF MAN.

A babe with sunny eyes,
And cheeks like budding rose,
A look of sweet surprise
So much he knows!
And then
A lad with happy mien
And careless, thOughtle6s ways,
Filled full of life's serene,
Untarnished days.
And then
A youth, erect, alert,
With eager, mannish air,
To learn, confront, exert,
To do, to darel
And then
Young manhood, full of hope,
Life's battle to begin,
With friend or foe to cope,
And love to win.
And then
A man, sedater grown,
To whom success is sure;
Home, honors-all his own
And peace secure.
And then
Achievements less and less;
Not now so much life's race
AS loves caress!
And then
Infirm, undone and lone;
Remembering things long past;
To live a burden grown;
And death at lastl
And then
And then All, we know naught;
Perhaps sweet repose,
And bliss beyond all thought
God knows-God knows
What thenl

ADVICE TO sNEEzERs.

Never turn your head when you
sneeze, or you may rupture a blood
vessel in the brain and go off as did
good Mr.. Samuel Halper, of Derby,
Most persons do their sneezing at the
dinner table, after vigorously pepper
ing their food. They should push
back their chairs when they feel the
emotion coming on and turn their
bodies away with their heads. To
twist the head around is to compress
certain muscles, veins and arteries.
have known two men to die sneez-
ing. In ancient days it was not un-
usual to see healthy citizens drop
dead in the street in the midst of this
involuntary convulsive action. Hence

you. "-Vcto1 Smith.

TO KEEP STOVES IN SUMMER.

"Let me give you pointer in put
ting away your room stoves for the
SUMNER" said an accommodating
stove man to reporter.
"In the great majority of cases peo-
pie pack way there small stoves in
their cellars for the summer. Cellars
are more or less damp, and the CRATES
and stove lining rust and in some
cases actually consume themselves
with rust, for one summer in damp
cellar does a a stove more harm than
its steady use during the winter sea-
son. In such cases never clean out
the stove. A good quantity of ashes
in the stove is the best possible pre-
servative of the inside of the stove.
The ashes and cinders absorb the
moisture which otherwise would at
tack the CRATE and other Innings.
In the same way it is better that
the bed of cinders in the furnaces
should be kept in them during the
summer. Careful housekeepers are
right in most things, that when pack
ed away for the summer they should
be clean. This rule, however, does
not work we'll in the case of stoves
and furnaces. This is not theory,
but the result of many years expert
ence, and when once observed will al
ways be followed. 1t will be found
that it will pay.
"WILL YOU have piece Of the ap-
pie pie ?" asked the landlady of the
Irish boarder.
"Is it afther bein' 'houlsome 7"
asked Pat.
"To be sure it is,' she replied.
"Why do you think it otherwise?"
"Faith, an Oh had an uncle wanst
who doied av apple-plexy, an Oi
thought this moight be something av
/ the same koind."
