Sinoina and Garelins.

Singers do not give away their Sc
crets of the voice. | know, however,
that some of the tenors and prima
donnas use an a%stringent gargle when
ever their vocal cords become so re-
faxed that very high notes are difficult
to emit. One famous little tenor used
cold tea that had drawn a long time.
Such a gargle, though. does not i'm
prove the quality of the voice, even if
it does raise the pitch temporarily.
The popular gargle among opera art
lists is the solvent. 1t loosens crusts
which form in the throat and nasal
cavities and remove mucous which
cannot be got rid of by coughing and
hawking. A common wash is twelve
grains of chlorate of potash to a wine,
glassful of warm water. Many singers
and orators in order to render thei1
voices clear and mellow use a gargle
containing ono s%easpoonful. of common
salt n one h baking o d in a tum-
blerful of water. These gargles are i'm.
proved by further adding some aro-
matte substances to stimulate the mt
cous membrane with which they CONF
in contact.-New York Press.

The First Test of 5aby's Mind.

Just as the germ OF the flower is
contained in the tiniest seed and will
reveal itself with an absolute certainty
as will rootlets and leaves when prop
er conditions of heat. moisture and
light are accorded, SO the germ of the
mind of Il child is present in his little
body and will develop and unfold it
self with the growth of the latter.
The only way to stop the growth of
a child's mind is to stop his body from
growing. Appetite is the mother of
the mind, and muscle is it's father.
At its lowest estimate the body with
It's brain is the tool of the mind, and
good work cannot be done without
good tools.
The first test of muscular vigor, the
hand grasp, is an Indication of the
mental possibilities as well. Not one
child out Of a hundred who at ten days
of age grasps firmly and clings to a
finger or pencil rubbed against his
pink little palm will ever fall below
the average intelligence of his race

OF the late Mrs. NJ. l.. McCaslin. TO en-
phasize the fact that while women were
few and far between in those early
times. they had wide influence.
Amusements were different then. horse
racing. dog fighting and kindred sports
being common on Sundays. He and
Mrs. McCaslin were not brought up in
that way and began to organize Sun
day school. He was surprised at the
results. as people came from far and
near in OK carts. or otherwise, to at
tend 1t. They had few books. but
dubbed together and sent to the Mis-
souri, river for library. which came

Proposed New National Parks.

A new national park has ben de
cided upon to embrace the wonderful
scenic region at Wagon Wheel Gap. on
the ID. 4 X. G. railway. in Mineral
county. Colorado.
Whether 1t will include the hot
springs and the gap" itself where the
Rio Grande river cuts through the high
cliffs before 1t debouches into the San
Luis valley is not yet announced. The
new park will take in the marvelously
beautiful rock formations comprising
an area OF go acres. 10000 feet above
sea level. The proposed naticnm park
is located about eight miles north of
Wagon Wheel Gap station on the ID. &
II. G. railway.
The government has had viewing and
surveying parties there from time to
time and after final inspection short
time ago decided to set aside a park
which is to be known as the Wheeler
National Monument" in honor of
Lieutenant Wheeler. an early explorer
in southwestern Colorado. Within the
next few months President Roosevelt
will publicly proclaim the district as
a government reservation. The coun-
try around Wagon Wheel Gap is al
ready famous for its hot springs.

Friend Of the Farmers wife.

The farmers wife will now feel that
there is one man in the country who
understands her position and be the
highest In authority. Farmers wives
grow old before their time and farm
ers' daughters cannot help noticing It
and dreading to follow in their moth
ers' footsteps. III you have to drop
some one. drop one hired hand rather
than the hired GIRL said the presi.
dent. The advice is good. but the
trouble is to get the one hired girl in
the first place. The distaste OF domes-
tics for country life. and especially
life on the farm, has greatly intensi-
fed rural problems, and that as much
as anything has helped to depopulate
the rural sections. The housewife OF
to-day. remarks the Boston Transcript.
is thus in worse plight than she was
40 years ago. We believe this is a
transition period and that a remedy
will be found. though as yet II is not
plainly in sight. Leisure. recreation.
social intercourse are the right and
the need of country mothers and
daughters. and not until some way OF
securing these in reasonable measure
is found will the farm problem be
solved.

The victims OF leprosy are now the
only physical detectives who are
treated still as they were in the medi-
eval times. They inspire an almost
superstitious terror in the clean of
flesh. More scientific study is re-
quired and more humane method of
dealing with the sufferers. There Gu
be no doubt that leprosy is much com
moner than is generally supposed. for
its period OF incubation is unusually
long, and it often fails to announce
itself definitely for years. Until ade-
quate provision is made for the vic
tins. however. declares the Chicago
Record-Herald. they will continue to
spread the plague among their neigh
bors. State governments have been
slow to make the necessary provisions
for their comfort The federal authori-
ties would seem to be in a better po-
sition to deal with the situation.
