A Healthy Voice.
a 4
From Health.


A strong, sweet, beautiful voice Is greatly
to be desired for every one. In some cli-
mates. like Italy, for instance, the voices
are almost all fine. In other places where
it is cold and moist the voices are too often
bad In the country where the young grow
up in an out-of-door life, where they can
"holler' and even yell" the voices are
much better and stronger than in the city,
where a young person must suppress him
self and always speak in gentle tones
Thin, throaty tones or those with a nasal
intonation are bad enough to the sensitive
ear when used in the key Of ordinary con-
yersation When 1t is needed to expand
such voices to the declamatory point, then
lack of volume and mellowness is evident.
Faithful practice may do much to correct
faults of emphasis and infection but the
most sanguine coach will not undertake to
make over a poor voice in a course Of three
or even six weeks rehearsals. The possi-
bilities Of the speaking voice are besinning
to be understood. Parents are discovering
that it is a wise plan to cultivate In their
children an agreeable voice. Instructors in
the art Of developing the exquisite mech
anism and wonderful capability of the hu-
man speaking voice are sprinstng up on
every side. It cannot be long before II
will be positfvei reprOach for q woman of
education, at least, to speak In shrill. nasal
or unplaced tones. The voice is a mirror
Of the mind. A coarse harsh. disaereeable
voice can best be cured by improving the
mind and heart.

Australian Oranges.

What apple culture Is in England that of
the orange Is In New South Wales. the
Parramatta district near Sydney, being to
Australia what Kent, with its countless
luxuriant orchards is to the united king
dom. The scenery Of the Parramatta river.
remarks our Sydney correspondent, is not
unlike that of the Thames above Rich
mond. only more romantic and beautiful.
especially during springtime, when the
wonderful profusion of wild flowers i'm
parts an additional charm to the picture.
Even the masses of rock which in many
places rise boldly from the edges of the
stream, are decked with bright-colored
clusters of Australian native flowers of
the most lovely and varied description The
trees also claim large share of admira-
ton, not only from the lover OF the beau
tiful In nature, but also from the Iitfli-
tartan, for they include the orange with
it's bright green foliage and dainty white
flowers or rich golden fruit, both often
being seen on the tree at one and the same
time. The orange is not only picturesque
adjunct to the garden. but also more than
repays the trouble and cost of cultivation.
In the Parramatta district rich and lus-
cious oranges are as plentiful as blackber-
ries In an English country lane during the
autumn time.

The Well-Dressed Man.

rTOm vogue.
During the summer months when low
shoes are SO generally worn, particular
care should be given to the selection of
hose, and it is well to choose with some
regard to the color Of ones shirts, ties
and trousers. Black is always good style,
and it will harmoniZe with any color, but
light-colored stockings are still worn bywell-
dressed men. Red, unless of a dark deep
crimson or maroon, should not be worn,
and on very warm days almost any other
color is better. Dark blues and blacks,
with design in color are among the best
looking, and in order to secure the smart
designs one must go to the first-class
shops. Occasionally something pretty may
be picked up at the less expensive haber-
dasheries for so and 75 cents. but most
of the striped and spotted varieties of hose
sold at the cheaper furnishing shops bear
the stamp of vulgarity. and are not worth
the little they cost If one cannot afford
to pay for really sn.art-looking fancy hose,
it is much better to wear only plain black,
Clocks on stockings has never become gem
orally popular, and for that reason
good style. The more fancy designs seem
to appeal to the middle-class man, and the
cheap shops do not as a rule carry in stock
the clock pattern

German and British Sea Speed.

From the London Daily Graphic.
The best Atlantic running of a German
mail steamer is now precisely one and one
half knots an hour swifter than the best
run of any British mail steamer. And the
best passage of the swiftest British At
lantic steamer was made more than six
years ago, in June, 1895, while the best
German steamer run was completed few
days ago. Never before in the history OF
Atlantic steaming was the swiftest ocean
steamer SO far ahead of the best sailing
under any other flag. The Americans held
the field from 1850 to 1856, but their best
boat was never more than half knot
swifter than the best Of the Cunard line.
were the swiftest, but their best was never
more than a knot an hour swifter than the
best of the German steamers running dur
ing those years. From 1869 to 1879 the In
man and the White Star lines held the first
place as regards speed, but the Germans
were still close behind them Then from
1870 to 1884 the Guion line. which might be
called half American, held the first place
with vessels which were built in Britain,
but the Cunard was close upon It's best.
Then the Cunard got it's innings till 1888,
when the Inman again came to the front
with the swiftest German about knot be-
Star got turn, and In 1893 the supremacy
came once again to the Cunard, and finally
in 1897 the Germans triumphed, and have
held the post of honor, as far as speed Is
concerned, ever since. But never till now
has the difference between the best Ger
man and the best British been as much as
a knot and a half an hour.

Another Exploration of It's Antiuui-
ties to BE Made.
Berlin Letter to London Standard.
The reports Of the important discoveries
made by the German explorers Drs. Belck
and Lehman among the ruined cities Of
Asia Minor, especially in Armenia, induced
Prof Virchow to ask the Berlin Anthropo-
logical Society to send out another expedi-
tion. This task has again been intrusted
to DR.. Belck, who will soon leave Berlin
for Asia Minor. With regard to the aims
of this new exploration, Prof. Virchow has
told me that he hopes, above all things, for
new disclosures in connection with the Hit
tites the locality Of their settlements and
the extent of their dominion and influence
He hopes, further, to ascertain whether
there is any definite proof of the hypothesis
that they formerly occupied the whole of
Asia Minor. He is Of opinion that during
the most ancient period of their historical
existence the Hittites were certainly in
possession of the countries. including As
syria, where cuneiform inscriptions have
been found.
There is another question, also, to be
solved Of considerable Importance from the
archaeological point Of view, namely, how
far the empire of the ancient Chaldees ex.
tended to the north and how far 1t was in
fiuenced from the north. On the advice Of
Prof Virchow, DR.. Belck will first pro-
CeeQ TO CdppdQOCld TO SedTCn CQere IOr the
former seats of the Armenians. The pro-
fessor is convinced that he will find AS
syrian and Hittite bilingual inscriptions,
cylinders and other documents. In his
opinion the traditions of the Armenians
themselves and the statements of many
classical writer's. hitherto incorrectly in
terpreted, clearly prove that the Armenians
lived mainly in Cappadocia from about 1000
to 600 B. c., their capital being Caesarea
and the metropolis of their kings Adj Ga
mach, to the west of Erzingjan. After
that time they were Joined by Cimmerians.
and, with them, moved southwark, invad-
ing all Cilicia and the north of Syria as
far as Palestine, then Samosata, whence
they crossed the Euphrates and occupied
all Mesopotamia about the time of the ac-
cession Of Cyrus The Berlin municipal au
thorities intend to erect 'Virchow
House." after the model Of the Langen-
beck House, In commemoration of the
eightieth birthday Of their honorary citi-
zen Prof. Rudolph Virchow. All the
German universities and several scientific
and political societies are preparing to
sist in the celebration of the professors
birthday, which occurs on October 49, and
subscriptions to the Rudolph Virchow fund
are already pouring in.

The Eyeless Congo.

From the LONDON EXPRESS.
French Congo is without Frenchwoman,
and there Is gnashing of teeth in local off,
cial circles. 1t appears that last year the
colony was frightened by the presence Of
thirteen ladies, wives of French officials,
but these soon sickened, and the govern
ment, finding the cost Of transport too
much, informed it's colonial servants that
they would not be allowed to take out their
wives at the national expense. Now, de-
cree of December, 1897, states that mas
much as wives ought to follow their hus-
bands to the colonies their fares backward
and forward would be betrayed by the colo
NAL Office. Therefore the recent govern
ment order is Illegal, and to get over the
difficulty the colonial office will be COM
PEELED to send out only bachelors to the
colony.

SANK LIKE A ROCK.
The Lass of Life and Large Pa.sen-
ger tesmer


The first authentic information oon-
cerning the wreck of the steamer City
of Paducsh of the St. Louis aud Ten.
nessee River Packet company, which
occurred at Brunhort Landing, ILL.,, late
Sunday night was obtained upon the
arrival of the steamer City OF Clifton
at this port early Wed net day.
Fifteen ptrsols lost their lives, six
whites and nine blacks.
The dead:
DIR, s. w. Bell, Of Cubi Landing.
Tenn.
Miss Msble Gardiner, of St. Louis.
Charles Johnson, aged 81, deck
Satchmsn.
Frank Gardner, Texas tender of Pa
ducah, Ky.
Two white firemen, names unknown.
Grant Woods, colored, boat baker.
Eight c,lor,d rou4tabouts, names
unknown.
The S Gamer City of Psducsh stop
ped at Bruu khorsts Landing st 30
o'clock Sunday night and took on a
load of corn. When in the act tf
backing away from the wharf he boat
swung around and struck tte bank
heavily with the stern. A snag im
beded in the bank tore an enormous
hole in the hull through which the wa
ter rushed with frightful rapidity. She
at once began to settle and at the
end Of three minutes nothing but her
roof, Texas deck and pilot house re-
mained about the surface. The eff q.
GERS acted with great GOODNESS and as
the boat settled, helped the startled
passengers to the cabin roof from
which the boats were lowered and car.
ried ashore.
Miss Mabel Gardiner of St. Louis
was asleep in her ststeroom and when
the shock came she probably rem,ined
to dress. Her body WAS found in the
forward part of the cabin. The body
of DIR. Bell has not yet been recovered
and it is supposed he was drowned
In his ststtroom. The crew and their
roustabout helpers being on the lower
deck in the midst of the cargo when
the vessel struck, were placed in pc-
sition Of most awful peril. As The
steamer oareened in setting the big
cargo, consisting chiefly of sacks Of
corn, shifted and before the men could
escape half of them were pinned down
and either crushed to death or held
until the water rose about them.
The passengers lost all of Their be-
longings, and had to be supplied with
clothing by those on shore.
The City of Paducah lies in about 80
feet Of water and the loss will be total.
She was valued at sl5, 900.
