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 scmibasS
voices. The voice has a tendency TO
deepen with age. The tenor OF twenty
becomes the baritone of twcnty-cight
and the bass Of t|hirty-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 Il higher voice than his
darker skinner brother. The former is
usually 4 baritone o T n tenor, the latter
4 contralto or bass. Il il asserted that
tenors are usually OF slender build,
whereas baSses ar. stout. but there are
too many exceptions to such a rule for
II to be reliable. The same remark APP
plies to the statement that thoughtful
men have deep toned voices and vice
versa. The tones OF a voice are per-
ceptibly higher before than after a
meal. for which reason tenors are gen
orally careful not to sing too soon after
dinner. -Pearson's Weekly.

The Old Plane Tree Of Cos.

In the island Of Cos. in the .Egian
sea, there stands. jealousy guarded, 4
huge plane tree measuring nearly eight
e yards in circumference. 1t is sur
rounded by n podium. or raised plat
form breast high. doubtless built 10
support the trunk OF the tree after it
had become hollow and weak from age.
The lower branches are still well 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 I've 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 ut Cos AGO Il.
G. This gives a clew TO the age Of the
celebrated plane tree, which must be
considerably more than 1000 years old.

This Peculiar World.

This is a peculiar world, says an ex-
change. One is struggling for justice
and another is fleeing from 1t. One
Ia is saving to build a house and an
other is trying to sell his for less than
cost to get rid of it. One man is spend
ing all the money he can make in tax
ing a girl to the theater and sending
her flowers, with the hope Of making
her his wife, while his neighbor is
spending what gold he has in getting a
divorce. one man escapes all the dis
eases that flesh is heir to and gets kill
ed on a railroad. Another escapes with
a scratch and dies with the w%hooping
cough. One man stands off his credi-
tors and goes travelling while another
pays his debts and stays at home.

Demand for MdCdrOni

A consular report just issued from
the state department at Washington
states that the Mediterranean region has
been made to realize that the material
for its favorite macaroni is an
important product ofthe United States.
Being deprived OF its usual supply
from Russia, the Mediterranean turn
ed to this country and it's faith has
been rewarded. 1t has consumed
$3.50, 900 bushels OF American mac
aroni wheat since the last harvest
and about all of it was grown in the
two Dakotas.
The macarOni eaters OF that ancient
corner OF the earth declare that the
Dakota product is so satisfactory in
quality that they will be inclined %
prefer it to the macaroni OF the old
world, even when there is an abundance
in all sections.
The drawback to the cultivation OF
macaroni wheat in the northwest has
been the absence Of a market and
the uncertainty of price because there
was no market demand. Now that
the northwest has gained entrance to
the macaroni marts OF the Mediterran.
can region and a reputation for its
product, it will be induced to grow the
crop habitually, for it fiourishes in
our fields and has no insect or disease
enemies.
When the secretary OF agriculture
introduced the macaroni plant to the
sparsely watered plains of the vest,
he predicted that it's grain would
become a staple article OF expectation.
After but a few years, this prophesy is
meeting fulfillment.

The greatest popular idol in a pc.
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
1S4S. but never reached the goal. He
received 81 electoral votes in 1924. 40
in 1882 and 1O5 in 1874. 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. II there was ever a popular
idol in the politics of this country. il
was Henry Clay, but he could not be
elected Observation-Disclosures Jour

audience insisted on hearing her
again to which she responded.
1t was told Mrs. Morrow that Prof.
Mathews, the newly elected mayor,
was present. He a asked to say a
few words. His brief speech made the
temperance people feel very friendly
toward the new mayor. Mr.. Quincy
Lee Morrow was asked to tell us some
OF the most recent victories for tenn
perance. Mr.. Morrow responded in
his happy interesting style deserving
special mention did space permit.
A general laugh was caused when
the white Ribboners brought in their
dollars and their poems telling how
they earned the money. About twenty
five dollars was added to the treasury
with the promise OF more to follow.
Mrs. Morrow asked the audience to
remain for a social hour. Refresh
ments were served and everybody
seemed to have a good time.

INTERPRETATION.

The recommendations of the board of education must be excellent, We made them, and we have had many years of experience in unsyinpathetic, inhuman, impartial judgment on school mattersl We tell you, noble citizens, that 1t is absurd that teachers should know what is best for them! How can they estimate their value to us? Look at that half mile of them waiting to aid us in keeping them where they be- long on the mere existence line of life! Teachers are human; of course they do not appreciate such business methods. The average female teacher has @ weakness for wanting to live, but we (members of the board) are not called upon to consider their need of living. For us their existence alone counts. It does not concern us where the teacher who works only 19O days digs out the means to pay board and clothes, and often doctors bills, for the rest of the year, as the result of exhaustive labors. We need to give no reasons for our judgments, as we are the only wise ones.

NEW TRACKACE RIGHIS
VALUABLE NH. ROAD
Practical Monopoly of New England Traffic Gained
 from N. Y. Central.

The trackage rights recently acquir- ed by the New Haven road from the New York Central are over several parts of the Boston and Albany line and parts of the Harlem division of the Central. They are divided into four contracts between President Mellen and the New York Central road-irst, from Boston to Ashland, twenty-four miles, over the Boston and Albany line; sec ond, Pittsfield, Mass, to North Adams, twenty-one miles, over the Boston and Albany; third, Boston Corners, N. r., to Chatham. two miles, Harlem divi- sion; fourth, Springfield, Mass, to AL bany, 1OS miles, over the Boston and Albany.
 The first part provides for the con meeting of the two branches of the New Haven road from Pennington north to Lowell and Fitchburg with Boston in- stead of sending this traffic via Boston and Albany line between Pennington l and Boston, as now.
 The Pittsfield- North Adams trackage rights will bring the New Haven line from the south, now connecting at Pittsfeld north, to North Adams on the Fitchburg division of the Boston and Maine.
 The Boston Characterization line connects the Central New England with the Boston and Albany,
 Most vital of all is the 100 miles from Albany to Springfield This connects the Central New England and, besides gives the New Haven a new outlet fol traffic from all it's southern and easterr lines through the Albany gateway. This will greatly relieve the main New York | line.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Mayor Studley Lives Within Block of
 Contagious Hospital.

Contagious Hospital. To Editor of the Journal and Courier Tn the discussion of the location for a hospital for contagious diseases, some of the residents, both of the Fair Ha- ven section and the Derby avenue To- cation, seem to be extremely anxious about the contagiousness of such a building and it's injury to property values.
 Few people, perhaps, know that there is already hospital for contagious diseases right in the midst of our city. No one, so far as I have heard has complained of it. No one has moved away from it's immediate neighborhood. No one has complained of injury to the neighborlng property. In fact, I don't believe any one living nearest to 1t has ever, for a moment, considered it in any way injurious.
 The Ives cottages for contagious dis eases, located on the corner of Platt street and Edgewood avenue, within a block of the mayors residence, has been used with great benefit by the New Haven Orphan asylum, and with no complaint by the people nearest to it on account of contagious or injury to real estate.
 Tn fact, rents in this neighborhood are eagerly sought, and real estate val ues are on the increase.
 Very truly
