Subjective browning.

The dentists chair was tipped so far
back that escape for the village seam
stress lady of remarkable cOnyersa-
tiOnal ability, was impossible. Wads
of absorbent cotton were tucked be-
Meath her tongue, some patent appli-
ance held her jaws apart, and all the
lower half of her cOuntenance. except
one back tooth was concealed under
a decidedly damp rubber dam. The
patients mouth was full of water,
speech was impossible, and the poor,
naturally laxative lady was suffering
agQnies of discomfort
The engroSsed dentist paid no heed
to her squirmings or to the appeal i'll
her eyes. Fortunately, however, the
patients hands were free. Cropping in
the reticule that hung from her belt,
she brought forth paper and pencil and
wrote:
Help. Help. I'm drOwning."-

An old sailor was being examined in
an assault case by cute young law
yer, who questioned his veracity re-
garding a matter of time
you had no watch, and yet you are
positive that the defendant was only
ten minutes absent. l doubt if you are
able to estimate ten minutes of time
correctly" he said.
TRY me-" said the old tar.
The lawyer drew his watch from his
pocket and said, when l call out
Now you allow ten minutes to pass,
and when it is up call out Times up
The old salt nodded. and the lawyer
called out Now Slowly the time
passed, and the lawyer, with watch in
hand, tried to wheedle him into an ad-
mission that time was up. The sailor
paid no heed and exactly at the end
Of the ten minutes shouted, Times
up" The bewildered lawyer turned
round confused at the courts loud
laughter. and his eye lighted on the
courtroom clock behind him, which had
assisted the oil sailor in his task.

cold storage In Irish Boys.

For long it puzzled me to know what
the poachers did with the birds they
shot in July. There is no cold storage
in the north of Ireland, but they have
discovered an excellent substitute. The
birds are buried four or five feet deep
in dry peat, and, l am told, come
out perfectly fresh at the end of two
or three weeks. When one remembers
the bog butter dug out of the peat boys
in comparatively fresh state after
being buried for probably 200 or 300
years, it is not difficult to believe that
grouse might keep, under the same cir
cumstances, for two or three weeks

Our voices Deepen.

The primitive inhabitants of Europe
were all tenors; their descendants of
the present time are baritones, and fu-
ture generations will have semibass
voices The voice has a tendency to
deepen with age. The tenor of twenty
becomes the baritone of twenty eight
and the bass of thirty-six The inferior
races have higher pitched voices than
the more cultured. The negro has a
higher voice than the white man.
Among white races. the fair complex
Toned man has higher voice than his
darker skinner brother. The former is
usually a baritone or tenor, the latter
a contraltO or bass. 1t is asserted that
tenors are usually of slender build,
whereas basses are stout, but there are
too many exceptions to such rule for
1t to be reliable. The same remark ap-
plies to the statement that thoughtful
men have deep toned voices and vice
versa. The tones of voice are per-
ceptibly higher before than after 8
meal, for which reason tenors are gen
orally careful not to sing too soon after
dinner.-PearsOn's Weekly.

Rossinf's Laziness.

ROssini was one of the most INDECENT
of men and in his younger days used
to do most of his composing in bed.
Once he had almost completed a trio,
when the sheet fell out of his hand and
went under the bed He could not
reach it, and, rather than get up, he
wrote another. The lazy man, if he
works at all. does so by spurts, and
Rossini. working against time, wrote
1.-THE Barber of Seville" in thirteen
days. When DoniZetti was told of this
he remarked, ut is very possible. He
is so laZyr The overture to the ''GaZza
Ladra" was written under curious cir
cumstances On the very day of the
first performance of the opera not a
note of the overture was written, and
the manager, getting hold of ROSsini,
confined him i'll the upper loft of La
Scala setting four scene shutters on
guard over him. These took the sheets
as they were filled and threw them out
of the windows TO cOpyists beneath.

Henry C1ax.s ponn1ari.r.

The greatest popular idol in po-
litical sense the country has ever
known was Henry Clay. Only one
other American statesman ever pos
sessed the quality called personal mag
netiSm to the same extent that he did
and no other ever had a more enthusi-
astic personal following. He was an
aspirant for president from 1924 to
1913, but never reached the goal He
received 81 electoral votes in 1924, 40
in 1882 and 1O5 in 1914, but never
enough to elect him. Clay was elected
speaker of the house of representatives
on the first day of his term in that
body and was five times reelected. He
was twice elected United States sena-
tor, once unanimously by the Kentucky
legislature, and held several other high
offices. If there was ever a popular
idol in the politics of this country, it
was Henry Clay, but he could not be
elected president.-Indianap Jour

The old Plane Tree Of Cos.

In the island of Cos, in the 4Egian
sea, there stands, jealousy guarded, q
huge plane tree measuring nearly eight
cen yards in circumference. 1t is sur
rounded by a pOdium, or raised plat
form breast high, doubtless built to
support the trunk of the tree after it
had become hollow and weak from age.
The lower branches are still we'll pre-
served and have been shOred up by
pieces of antique columns, over the up
per ends of which the branches have
grown like caps in consequence of the
pressure of their own weight. Close by
the tree is a solid marble seat, which is
said to be the chair of Hippocrates, the
father of medicine, and it is supposed
that he taught the art of healing from
that seat. He was born at Cos AGO B.
G. This gives clew to the age of the
celebrated plane tree, which must be
considerably more than 1000 years Ole

Mr.. Gustaf Holmquist has won the
admiration Of his listeners every
where. His wonderful range, togeth-
or with ncxibility and thorough
understanding Of his work accounts
for the success that invariably attends
Mr.. Hilmquist's efforts. This rich
and powerful voice receives rccog-
milton from any audience; but there
is a charm Of manner to the artist
which adds greatly to the singing.
Last year at Sioux Falls, Iowa, May
Festival this comment was made OF
his work in "Elijah." "Supcrlativcs
only can be used in expressing our en-
joyment Of Mr.. Holmquist's work.
The most intense feeling was hown
i'll his rendition of ''It is Enough"
Mr.. H. Augustine Smith needs nc
introduction to the people Of this
section. He possesses a subcrb voice
Of wonderful brilliancy and power and
great range. Those who heard his
recital last year will not soon forget
his lyric voice, because the program
was one that none but all artist could
successfully give.
The power Of Interpretation is Mr..
Smiths greatest gift as singer. This
is no disparagcmcnt of his voice,
mellow, vibrant tenor, free from
throatiness and untrammelcd by
method"
But better than his organ is his
musiial appreciation and insight into
tho composers thought; his serious
ness Of purpose, which makes him
work; his intensity Of utterance, which
masters his audiences and holds them
to the song of the moment, be it the
Messiah" the "Redemption," ella
watha's Wedding Feast" or the simple
Scotch songs or oprea excerpts which
illumine his recital programmes.
