Our Voice. Deepen.

The primitive inhabitants of Europe
were all tenors; their descendants Of
the present time are baritones. and fn-
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-slx. The Inferior
races have higher pitched voices than
the more cultured. The negro has a
higher voice than 1.-The, white man.
Among white races, the fair complex
Toned man has a higher voice than his
darker skinned brother. The former is
usually baritone or tenor, the lat
ter 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 applies to the statement that
thoughtful men have deep toned voices
and vice versa. The tones of & voice
are perceptibly higher before than
after meal, for which reason tenors
are generally careful not to. sing too
soon after d!nner.-Pearson's Weekly.

In a place in New Jersey the town
officers had just put some fire extin-
gulshers in their big buildings One
day one of the buildings caught fire,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. and the
extinguishers failed to do their work.
A few days later at the town meet
Ing some citizens tried to learn the rea.

After they had freely discussed the
subject one Of them said. "Alr. Chair
man, I make a motion that the fire ex-
tlnguishers be examined ten days be-
fore every fire."

ORIGIN OF THE KISS.
Its Earliest Form-The caress OF the
+ I,i Ancient IndSans.

It's Earliest F0rm-The-Ca ress of tho
+ I5 Ancient Indians.
At a recent session Of the American
Oriental Society Prof. Hopkins of Yale
read a paper on 1.-THE Snifr Kiss in An
cient India" Reduced to Its founda-
ton, the paper was a history of the kiss
as We know 1t. The learned Orientalist
traced 1t from Its birth and proved that
the earliest peoples and earliest times
knew it not. That there might be no
mistake he labelled the kiss Of to-day
"the genuine kiss" and 1.-THE perfect
kiss"
Oddly enough, he finds that the genu-
inc kiss was invented by a woman. The
description is given in the epic of an
cient India which treats of the science
of love.
"She laid her mouth on my mouth"
recltes the poet, "and made noise
which gave me pleasure" I
The early peoples" declared Prof.
Hopkins, "knew nothing of the kiss In
any form. Had they known of 1t they
would have told something of 1t in the
mass of records that has come down to
us, for surely an act which conveys
such pleasure could not have been for
gotten.
Even to this day there are races
that do not kiss. The AIongollans and
certain Of the tribes in central Asia
do not osculate, and the Esquimaux, we
are told, employ the kiss only as a
prophylactlc.
The earliest form OF the kiss Is
that which we know as the snlff kiss.
This is smelling, usually of the head.
The father of a newborn son shifted
his head that his days might be long
and that honors might come to him.
Returning from Journey, he shifted
the heads of his children In the same
manner.
Gradually with this snlfr kiss there
came also caress. a touching usually
of the head. Gradually, also, the en-
dearment came to be applied to others
than children. The rubbing Of noses,
which has persisted in some tribes, was
probably an intermediate process In the
evolution.
with the development Of the genu-
inc kiss the sniff kiss disappeared, new
er to reappear. 1t had served Its pur-
pose and soon was forgotten"
E Thus the sniff kiss proves the mother
sand father Of all kisses. Blessed be
the snif kiss.-Philadelphia North

E..eger.ted Pro,p.,,,x

1t is Republican fallacy that be..
cause the tariff makes high prices by
protecting the trusts, therefore goods
are more valuable because they are dis
torted by magnified prices and they
therefore boast Of greater imports and
exports. 1t Is very doubtful whether
on the whole this increase in foreign
trade has been materially greater than
the proportional increase of the popula-
ton, while with prosperous conditions
IT should have been much greater.
There Is no more wealth in a thousand
tons of the same goods when their mar
ket value Is put at million dollars
than when it appears as half or three
quarters Of that amount.

Burton was convicted of appearing
for pay before a government depart

ator rode from the station to his home
in an open carriage and his passage
through the streets was in the nature
of triumphal procession. The side
walks were lined with people who
lifted their hats as Burton passed.

tertained at dinner by County Treas
urer Schneider. Later they went to

ton depression for the last season
will be most efficient object lesson
for the members of the Union and re-
suit in much practical good for the
coming season. The executive COM
mittee of the Union constitutes the
advisory board of the Texas Farmers
Union Cotton Company. In this ca
pacity it has approved of the gen
eral plan Of organization and of the
plan outlined for the broader work
that is under contemplation for the
coming season.
The manner in which the affairs of
this organization has been conducted
is truly remarkable. There are now
more than 200, 900 members in Texas,
and so far there has been but little
friction developed in the ranks. In a
small section of West Texas there is
some agitation Of the matter of con-
fning membership to farmers exclu-
sively 1t is contended by some of
the West Texas membership that
there is being manifested something
of disposition to admit others than
actual farmers into the organization,
and a meeting is to be held at Lo-
raine, in Mitchell county, January j,
to consider this feature of the situa-
tion. President Calvin has announc-
ed his intention of attending this
meeting, and it is probable that other
leading members Of the organization
will be present. It is intended to
meet the opposition with clean and
clear-cut explanations which, it is
believed, will exert a pacifcatory eff
feet upon the situation and result in
the restoration of complete harmony
within the ranks.
The state legislature of Texas is now
in session at Austin, and many meas
ures are expected to come up during
the session Of direct moment and in
terest to the organization. Tn the
matter of a legislative committee to
look after these matters, President
Calvin has been appointed as the rep
resentative of the Union, and will re-
main in Austin during the greater
part of the time the legislature is in
session. If the situation should de-
mand such action, he is empowered
to call to his assistance any members
Of the organization, and for these rea-
sons no regular legislative commit
tee will be maintained at the state
capital.
