The Neglected Voice,

The voice is the most common and at
the same time the most complex of hui
man faculties. When we listen to it,
we realize nothing of the many lnfiu-
ences at work In its use. Yet it repre-
sents the character, the mood. the TEN.
permanent and the health Of the individ.
ual when left to run In its own way.
II uncontrolled. it will develop much as
a flower garden will develop; the rank
and weedy nature will come to the
front. and the tones of exquisite beau
ty will be obscured. Bad daily habits
In the use of the voice will give II
many disagreeable qualities. If con.
trolled. the voice will keep its weeds in
the background and permit only its
beauties to be known. II cultivated.
the weeds will be taken out and the
flowers developed. -Pittsburg Press.

JACK TkR,s oRoWL.
A stsry Illustrating the sailors
Habit of GrumbIing

The author of "From Edinburgh TO
the Antarctic" writing Of the sailors
habit Of grumbling, says: The dinners
are all the same--that is to say, Mon
days dinners are all alike. and what
we have today we shall have this day
six months hence. Jacks forefather
this day 100 years ago had the same
menu and made the same uncompli-
mentary remarks about the dishes, and
100 years hence on this day Jacks chill
dren will growl over their salt horse
and plumless dun" The author also
tells this yarn" to illustrate that
Jacks habit of grumbling can't be
cured and must be endured:
Once upon time there lived skip
per whose wife said to him that If she
went to sea the poor men would never
find fault with their food. Her hus-
band took her with him on a voyage,
and the good woman attended to the
cooking in the galley herself.
The scouse was thick with fresh veg
etables, the bread was white and with
out weevils, the meat was good, and
the duff was almost half plums, but
still the men growled.
Then the shippers wife thought of
the hens she had brought on board to
lay eggs for her husbands breakfast.
She took them out of the coop, wrung
their necks with her own fair hands,
plucked them, roasted them and sent
them to the forecastle on the cabin
china.
''Now the men," she said to herself,
will know how much we think of their
comfort"
At eight bells she stole forward to
the forecastle to listen to the praise Of
her skill as cook. She looked down
the hatch and saw a big black fist
plunge fork into the hen and heard a
hoarse voice growl, II say, Bill. what
dye think this ere bloody fowl died

A skeleton In Every Closet.

The expression There is a skeleton
in every closet" is said to have its
origin in the fact that a soldier once
wrote to his mother, who complained
of her unhappiness, to have some sew
ing done for him by some one who
had no cares or troubles. At last the
mother found n woman who seemed
to have no troubles, but when she told
her business the woman took her to
closet containing a skeleton and said:

BEAUTIES OF A GLACIER.
Scenes That Are Likened to Visions
of a Glorified City.

of n Glorified City.
The destinations of a glacier are as
witching as they are dangerous. Apos-
tolic vision of a crystal city glorified
by light that never was on land or
sea" was not more beautiful than
these vast ice rivers, whose onward
course is chronicled, not by years and
centuries, but by geological ages, says
a British Columbia correspondent Of
the New York Post. With white DOM
ed show cornices wreathed fantastic
as arabesque and with the CLASSY
walls of emerald grotto rejecting n
million sparkling jewels, one might be
in some cavernOus dream world or
among the tottering grandeur of an an
cient city. The ice pillars and silyered
pinnacles, which scientists call seracs,
stand like the sculptured marble Of
temples crumbllng TO ruin. Glittering
pendants hang from the rim Of blush
chasm. Tints too brilliant for artists
brush CLEAN from the turquoise OF
crystal walls. Rivers that flow through
valleys of ice and lakes, hemmed in by
Hllis VI lCts SHlne WIN an dLule utptu
that is very infinity's self.
In the morning, when all tEaw has
been stopped by the nights cold. there
is deathly silence over the glacial fields.
even the mountain cataracts fall noise
lessly from the precipice to ledge in
tenuous, wind blown threads. But with
the rising of the sun the whole glacial
world bursts to life in noisy tumult.
Surface rivulets brawl over the ice
with a glee that is vocal and almost
human. The gurgle of rivers flowing
through subterranean tunnels becomes
roar, as of rushing, angry sea, ice
grip no longer holds back rock scree
loosened by the nights frost. and
there is the reverberating thunder Of
the falling avalanche.
Chinese ms Cooks.
Second only to the French are the
Chinese when it comes to culinary skill,
and with simple materials they will
contrive to put together a meal which
would shame an ordinary American
cook. In peasant families the wife or
daughter does the cooking, but in all
large establishments the cooks are in
variably men.
