The Voice.

The voice that Is heard without
raising the natural speaking tones Is
the well-modulated voice which i'm
presses one with It's calm and its sim
cerity. Train the ear to recognize
pleasant sounding, agreeable voice,
and listen to your own critically. "A
shrill, parrotlike voice makes the
most beautiful woman trying com

the ear with pleasantness.

vicious in the extreme. He has worked
the natives with diabolical hardness
to get the greatest amount of india
rubber out of the country, and the
stories of the eruelties practiced upon
the poor negros TO make them bring in
rubber have shocked the whole world.
While he has filled his own Golfers
and those of his favorites to bursting. he
has plunged the Congo Free State into
an Indebtedness which spelled bank
ruptcy. He now proposes that Belgium
shall annex Congo as a Colony, but the
prudent Belgians. who are shrewd busi-
ness men, object to taking over an i'm
mense deficit. Unless this is done or
some other power assumes the payment
of the Congo bonds, those who have
been misled into investing in them will
lose their money. The King himself is
dead to any shame in this connection,
and his people are sorely at loss what
to do. Only fear of the reputation of
the Congo bonds and consequent i'm
mense losses to Belgians has prevented
the abdication of the King being forced
long ago.
