POWERFUL VOICES.
Some Historic Shriekers Who Ante
dated the Famous StentOr.

The question has often been asked,
"Who was the most loud voiced man
of history" The answer usually is
that it was Stentor. OF whom Homer
says his voice was as loud as that of
fifty other men combined and from
which we get the phrase "stentorian.
voiced" But we have record of two
historic "shrekers" anterior to Homer.
We read where Simeon and Levi fought
against the twelve men of the city OF
Sarton and that Levi beheaded one
man with his own sword. In chapter
IS, verse Al. of the book referred to the
story is related in the following words:
And the sons of Jacob seeing that
they could not prevail over the twelve,
Simeon gave u loud and tremendous
shrek, and the eleven remaining men
We're stunned 10y the awful shrek"
In chapter 80. same book. verse 10,
we find the following account of the
battles of the sons of Jacob with the
inhabitants of the city of GaaSh. 1t
seems as though the battle was both in
the front and in the rear and that the
warriors on the wall were throwing
spears and hurting stones upon the
sons of Jacob. What next occurred, as
related in chapter and verse above
cited. is recorded in these words:
And Judah, seeing that the men of
Gaash We're getting too heavy for
them, gave a piercing and tremendous

terrified at Judah's cry, and men fell
from the wall at the sound of his pow
erful Shrek, and all those that were
without as well as those within the
city were greatly afraid of their lives"

The Great vniue of Saving Time.

Thrift of time is as necessary as
thrift of money, and he who knows
how to save time has learned the Sc
cret of accommodating educational OPP
portunity. Men who regard it as sin
full to waste money waste time with
a prodigals lavishness because they
do not understand the value of short
periods of time. Society is full of peo-
pie who might enrich themselves 4
hundredfold and make their lives i'm
mensely more interesting if they learn
ed this commonplace truth.-Ladies'

CHELSEA'S NOTED BUNS.

However religious observances may
change in England. the eating of hot
cross buns on Good Friday is not likely
to die out. Still, enthusiasm in this
particular has considerably declined

many people were in the habit of flock

eat hot cross buns that On one occasion
10000 persons assembled there, and
$3.50 was taken in the day for buns

Chelsea protested against the noise and
disturbance this caused. and Mrs.
Hands, fearing to be restrained by the
law, issued in 1893 a quaint proclama-
ton, stating how, "desirous, therefore,
of testifyiug her regard and obedience
to those laws by which she is happily
protected, she is determined, though
much to her loss, not to sell cross buns
on that day to any person whatever,
but chelsea buns as usual"
This Mrs. Hands was something of a

family and many of the aristocracy
used to visit her in the morning, and
Queen Charlotte even presented her

The Word TrencIe.

The word treacle has undergone an
odd modification. At first it was applied
to such decoctions of roots or other sub
stances as were deemed beneficial in
medical practice; then. as these were
frequently sweetened. it came to mean
any sweet connection or confection
and lastly, as molasses was the sweet

Slicing Bacon.

In SO small a thing as the slicing of
bacon the trained hand will distinguish
between the right and the wrong way.
The bacon should be put on the table
or board with the rind down. Slice with
a sharp knife and as thin as possible,
but do not attempt to cut through the
rind. When enough slices are cut, slip
the knife under them close to the rind,
and they will fall off together easily.
