Singing Into a Photograph.

when singer is up before an audi
ence he or she can tell whether the
effect Of the voice is pleasing or not by
watching the countenances of the lis
teners," says Thomas A. Edison in
Popular Mechanics. when, however.
one sings into a dead instrument, like
the phonograph, without the slightest
recognition as to whether the voice is
properly tuned and pitched, the singer
becomes rather nervous. know some
very capable singers who can sing
splendidly before an audience, but
when it comes to getting their voice
into the photograph they are dumb. l

Case of French Grip.

Paris now boasts a man with steel
hands" Admitted to a hospital the
other day at his own request. he was
examined by student and pronounced
to be absolutely well. He thereupon
seized the students hand and squeezed
it till he literally crushed the fingers to
intelligence.
On being removed to police station
he broke a thick log of wood in two,
bent pair Of pinchers with his fingers
and burst a rope wound ten times
round a barrel. One would hardly
blame the acquaintance of this man if
he reverted to the savage greeting of
rubbing noses.

Falsehoods in the business world:
They nest and thrive especially well
In the haunts of barter and gain. They
greet you at the opened doors Of our
large department stores. They pic
torialize themselves in circulars and
newspaper advertisements which are
bent broadcast over the cities and coun-
try districts. They pose in fictitious
reports of our large corporations and
exaggerate the annual dividends. They
have for their passports white slips OF
paper, purporting to represent bona
hde stock. whereas the gold and silver
and copper mines are purely imaginary.
They enthrone themselves in the pits"
OF the produce exchanges. They finger
the keys OF the telegraph instruments

Untruth Is Cowardly.

A lie is a lie, against whomsoever
told. A lie is especially cowardly when
it is told against public men. especially
cowardly because for the most part the
victims must writhe and twist under
the insinuating and poisonous attack
and suffer in silence. The nature Of a
lie is not changed by Harvesting ii to a
qualifying adjective, nor is a political
lie less heinous than other lies. A lie
told to besmirch a political candidate
or to benefit political party is an Of
Tense in the sight of God which will
Syve to be accounted for in the day of
judgment. "All liars"-there are no
exceptions TO this rule-"all liars shall
have their part in the lake which burn
eth with fire and birthstone, which Is
the second death"
Falsehoods in the social world
Why? Because. as David in his haste
grossly declared, All men are liars g
oh. no. Because most people would in
tentionally and deliberately rob an In
nocent man of his character as a sneak
thief might snatch a womans pocket.
