Breaking tho Voice.

The peculiar physiological causes Of
what is called the breaking of the
voice are not quite understood, but 1t
is known to depend Immediately upon
an organic change in the larynx, the
organ of the voice which occurs in the
male sex between the ages of IA and
16. Before that the larynx of boys re-
sembles that of girls, but when the
voice begins to break the vocal chords
become heightened at least one-third,
the angle Of the thyroid cartilage be-
comes enlarged, and the muscles
which connect the organs Of the voice
with the hypoid bone and the base OF
the tongue become elongated.
While the change Of form is taking
place the voice is untitled for singing
and should be used only with great
care. In other words, the breaking OF
the voice is due to the rapid devel'
opment of the larynx, which takes
place at certain ages and which leads
to change in the range Of the voice.
The peculiar harshness Of the voice
when it Is thus breaking seems to b.
due to temporary congestion anc
swollen condition of the mucous mem
brane of the vocal chords accompany
ing the active growth Of the whole

The nearest station to the east was
about ten miles distant. l moved to
the place with my young wife late in

following March l was attacked with
typhoid fever and was i'll for about
month But thanks to naturally
strong constitution, and the careful
nursing of a loving and intelligent
wife, l slowly recovered.
AS soon as l got strong enough to
sit up and walk little l told my wife
she had better take the cars and go
and visit her brother, who lived about
fifty miles east of us. She had been
taking care of me so faithfully through
my illness both by day and night, that

fail her If she did not rest while.

and his family would be very glad to
see her, and would try to make her
visit a pleasant one.
She hesitated about leaving me,
fearing l might need her care; but
after waiting a few Gays, and seeing
that continued to gain my health and

fortnight.
One night 1 exercised little beyond
my strength, and felt quite tired Mt
night and lay awake for a long time.
At last l fell into an uneasy slumber
and dreamed very curious and startl-
ing dream. l seemed to have gone
forward into the future a couple of
days, and instead Of Wednesday, the
Oath, lit seemed to be Friday, the Goth.
1t seemed in my dream that heavy
rain had been falling most of the day
and all the day before, but the even
ing was so clear and pleasant and not
very dark, though the moon was not
shining.
l seemed to be walking along the
railroad toward the east. 1 first passed.
through a wood about half a mile
wide; then for about a mile through
fields containing a couple Of farm
houses, one inhabited and the other
deserted. then entered another wood.
and, after walking about a mile and
half, l came to stream greatly
swollen by the rain, which had weak
tned the railroad bridge so much that
the passenger train, in attempting to
cross, had broken it down, and the
bridge and cars, completely wrecked,
were lying ON both sides of the stream
except portions that were floating
down. Some OF the passengers lay dead
or dying among the ruins, some were
floating in the water, and a few were
cl1nging to trees and bushes on the
bank. 1t was fearful and heartrend-
ing sight
The next day, early in the morning.
1t commenced raining, and continued
to rain through the day and following
night. l felt very lonely and uneasy
all day, which feeling was increased
by receiving letter from my wife saw
ing that she intended to come home
on Friday night by the express train.
l retired late, telling much worried on
account of my fearful dream. And to
add to this fear, presentiment. or what.
ever you may call it, the dream was
repeated, and even more distinct and
vivid than the first time
When l arose in the morning the
rain was still falling. This was Friday.
and therefore was the day on which
my wife was to start for home. There
were two passenger trains from the
east each day, one at O'Clock in the
forenoon and the other at 9 In the
evening. This last was the expires.

was coming.

Profanity Allowed For.

If there was anything the late Sen
ator Hoar disliked more than he did
another it was profanity.
The story is told how much shocked
the venerable Senator would be by the
infammatory Intersections of a GER
tain politician with whom he frequent
ly was compelled to confer. But on
all such occasions he would refrain
from censuring the culprit except in
the mildest manner.
One day when the politician came
to the Senator's committee room on
a subject of considerable Importance,
Mr.. Hoar indicated seat to him, and
Remarked: :
Nov, Mr.. Blank, before we enter
upon discussion of this question, we
shall assume that everybody and
everything is damned. Then we can
