Sweet Scotch Voices.

For real beauty of speech many ex-
perts think that we must go to the
glens that surround the highland capi-
tai. Sir Morell Mackenzie used to say
that the prettiest speakers were to be
found in the Badenoch district of In
verness-shire. A wider knowledge
would probably have induced him to
modify his views and give the palm to
the glen folk of the north and west of
Inverness-shire. The voices of the
highlanders are set low, and yet the
articulation is clear. distinct and dra-
matte. One inclines to liken their
speech to many beautiful things-to the
clear, mellow note Of a bell or the muir
muir of running water. The infection
Of the voice is singularly engaging, ris-
Ing and falling with exquisite cadences
like bewitching music, and this, be 1t
remembered, is the speech Of the COM
mon people.
