May 2O.-Spitc fences so-called are
not unknown in various parts of the

structure on record. This remarkable
fence, built of steel construction. is
already 40 feet in height a figure
which will be more than doubled be
fore 1t is finished. The cause for the
erection of this l00-foot fence, said to
be the highest in the world, may be
laid at the door or entrance, of III.

BETTER FACILITIES
RAILROADS AT MEMPHIS PRE-
PAIRING FOR BIGGER LUMBER
BUSINESS FROM RIVER.
Frisco and Illinois Central to Put in
Additional inclines to Com
pete With Cairo
and Joppa.

The Frisco and Illinois Central are
moving to increase their facilities for
handling lumber from the river at
Memphis. The Scimitar of that city,
in IS issue of Wednesday, had the fol
lowing:
The Frisco railroad already has a
large incline for handling lumber at
Joppa, Ill.,, in connection with the
Chicago 4 Eastern Illinois railroad,
a par of the Frisco system, and large
quantities of lumber destined for con-
Germs in that section are towod there
aud then loaded on cars FOR delivery
20 their destination. Cairo, ILL.,. is
also another important point in con-
nection with the handling of lumber
by water. and large quantities of logs
are tOwed that point TO be transferred
to ears for delivery.
The Lumbermens club of this
city has been notifeS of the intention
of the Frisco. and will undoubtedly
make arrangements to take adyant-
ago of the increased facilities thus
offered for the cconomicai handling
of their business
The Illinois Central Will also have
an incline in the same part Of town,
as was announced some. time ago,
aud by means of these two improve.
mCnts he lumber interests of this
CITY will be greatly improved
building the incline will only take a
lew weeks time and will cost in the
ncighborhOod OF $1,000"

THE END.
PRESERVE CHARM OF VOICE
Proper Care Of Organ Which Nature
Has Bestowed Is Essential
Duty of All.

A sweet voice is powerful femin.
Inc charm. One also admires fine
masculine voices which are sonorous
and full.
We should, therefore, be careful OF
this organ which nature has bestowed
upon us, and improve it il possible.
Coarse, shrill and harsh voices may be
softened by care and study A woman
With peacock voice can never charm.
Speak in low voice, but distinctly.
Loud speaking denotes ill-breeding.
and sometimes shows domineering
spirit. Many people drown the voices
of others in discussion that they
may themselves attract the more at
tention. To keep the voice at proper
tone, never call from one end of the
room to another, nor from upstairs
down, nor at any distance where it
becomes necessary for one to shout
with all his might, as this coarsens
and roughens the voice and in time
ruins it.
There are persons who, when
spoken to, pay no attention, either
from abstraction or from Indifference,
to anything which may proceed from
others. The person who speaks is
then obliged to raise the voice and re.
peat, and thus the habit of speaking
loudly is frequently formed.
These things occur in families
where but little politeness is observed
between those who owe one another as
much consideration as is due to out.
siders.
One should never cry out under the
influence Of anger, Indignation or pain.
These cries forever destroy the har-
mony Of the vocal chords. Children
should be prevented from screaming
when at play.
