A comparison OF the record of build
ing operations for this city and for
Los Angeles is interesting and also in
structive and will be especially so to
the person who believes that San
Francisco is not going ahead fast
enough and that other cities are more
progressive. The papers of Los Angeles
point with some pride to the fact that
according to the report of the chief
building inspector, the valuation of
new buildings for which permits were
taken out in May again crossed the
million dollar mark. The total was
sl.oo5.6o5, which was only Slightly be-
low the record for the corresponding
month last year" In this city the
building operations for the month of
May compare favorably with the
southern city. They were: Frame
buildings. S1.7S1.e7s; brick. s2,516, 6,944:
alterations, S2,5os; total, s4,3Sl 431, or
Ss.S75.72s more in value than in Los
Angeles.
Despite the fact that it was compar-
atively a dull month for the real estate
operator the record for this city
shows that there were 755 sales of real
estate. which represented q total value
of S2.66S,zT0, distributed as follows:

Of which S760,000 was for salaries and
vacations, $4,000 for maintenance and
supplies and $4,000 cor new apparatus.
Shaughnessy said:
II told Gallagher that he ought not
to be expected to pay for engine houses

LEARNING TO TALL WELL.
Women Have Instituted Glasses In
Voice Culture.

So many ugly things have been
said about the American woman'S
voice hat her pride has been aroused
and she has now set herself the task
Of abolishing all grounds for criti-
cism of her use of her vocal organs.
Glasses in voice culture are the
latest thing. The pupils are not
learning to sing. They are learning
to speak English beautifully and
unsteady.
They are taught to breathe prop
erly, to enunciate clearly, to speak
in mellow, throaty tones and other
wise to correct the "nasal, whining,
shutting speech whereof they have
been accused.
The exercises may be practiced at
home. They include particular care
to speak deliberately and with pre-
cision; reading aloud to ones self
a good hour each day, and closing
the eyes and focusing the thought
upon the voice while practicing to
make it so delightful that if one
heard it coming from the next room
one would desire to meet its owner.
With all these ~practicings a nee
essary thing is to keep mind and
body in good condition, for the voice
is quickly affected by a sluggish con-
dition of either. An unpleasant,
meandering, irritating manner of
speech rarely, emanates from a per-
sonality that is keen, direct and
wholesome.

ROUGH ON DEPEw.

Mrs, Depew, wife of the senator,
tells a story of her wedding tour.
They had among their fellow passen-
gers a stodgy, slow-witted Scotch
man who liked the conversation of
the orator, though he did not know
him. "That's as Chauncey Depew
always tells the tale" said Mr.. De-
pew, finishing off one Of his stories.
"What like is this Chauncey De-
pew" asked the Scot, my dear"
said the humorist, turning to his
bride, "what does Depew look like ?"
Every much as you do, l imagine"
answered the lady. "Surely, madam.
you do your husband an Injustice. "
answered the Scotsman, with a ges-
ture Of expostulation and protest.

CLERK osEyED THE ORDER.
Beautiful. Example of "Red Tape"
Comes from England.

The Aldershot (Eng.) News mar
rates a curious occurrence at Worth
Camp, Aldershot, due to the recent
removal of the war Office from Pail
Mall to the new building in White
hall.
The officer in command Of a bat
TALON quartered on the Marlborough
lines was amazed one morning to
find on his parade ground a traction
engine and several trucks. Stones,
gravel and material were deposited
on the ground, and in due course of
time the engine and trucks returned
with more.
Going to headquarters for an ex-
PLANTATION, the commanding officer
was informed that the instructions
had come from the war office to send
tine material there. Not satisfied
with this explanation, the officer
pursued the matter further, with the
result that the original requisition
for the material was produced and
was found to be dated 1856.
In moving out of the old offices in
Pail Mall a clerk had found the
requisition in a pigeon hole, and see
ing that it was for 100 tons of road
material he had the order executed
and the material dumped on the
only available spot at North Camp.
