WELLS FURNISH POWER.

The use Of artesian wells for pow.

Georgia, it is said, has 400 such
wells, some Of which furnish power

furnish fire pressure for one Miss

CARE IN SPEECH THE HALL
MARK OF BREEDING
Use of the Voice, Choice of Words, Elegance of
Expression should be Constantly
Cultivated

THE noted modern writer, Henry
James. in commenting on the lack
o. voice-culture in speaking, remarks
that the question of its in the least mat
terlng how people may speak is absent
from American education. either of the
home or of the school Taking thought
and taking trouble are necessary if one
would cultivate careful speech. Things
are worth while when you stand or fail
by them. and it is not 100 much TO say
that men and women alike in Europe
stand or fall by their degree of mastery
OF the habit of employing their vocal
organs after the fashion of good So
ciety"
Cultivatfng the Voice
No one can afford u neglect the cul-
tivatioI of 4 well-modulated voice, care
full speech, clear enumeration and correct
pronunciation. The voice, language and
accent are the hest criterions OF educa-
tion and social standing.
A firm, sweet. low voice, with even
ness of tone and smooth, rich utterance,
is very pleasing 10 the car A high,
nasal, rasping voice IS disenchanting.
The honest desire and the resolve to
imp owe ones speech will be the quick
est way to accomplish it Patience and
persistence are needed.

have their hands in water, and do much
to save the hands from the roughening
and reddening of such work 1t is very
trying to the skin of the hands to put
them in hot suds and water and then
again into very cold water.
Those who do their own work should
be careful of their hands, not because
of the looks. but because of the comfort
for homework done without due atten-
ton to the hands will, especially in cold
weather, cause them to chap and cracl,
and bleed. Much dishwashing can be
done with the little mops that come, or
with the dishcloth on the end of fork,
so that the hands need not be wet. One
could write a chapter on the proper way
of washing dishes in relation to pre-
serving the health of the hands.
The Uses Of Rubber Gloves
When the hands must be in water pull
on the rubber gloves. In sweeping and
busting, and in working in the garden,
wear gloves. 1t is a good plan to grease
the hands well before drawing on the
rubber gloves. Wear large gloves while
working. SO that the hands will not be
cramped. Some wear Elittens made of
gray canton flannel

Speaking Tones

Aohcs
The full, free chest-tones should be
cultivated in speaking and the throat and
head-notes avoided. The voice in speak
ing may be trained to be as flexible and
melodious as the voice in singing.
Reading aloud is good practice, remem-
bering to open the mouth and utter
sounds clearly. Words are not to be
slurred over, syllables are TO be enun-
ciatcd carefully; vowels should have
their broad, full tones and consonants
should not be dropped.
Slovenly habits in speaking are in
closing the mouth and speaking between
the teeth. These bad habits, including
the hard. nasal tones, may be cured by
the simple and persistent practice, many
times day, of opening the mouth wide
and uttering the syllable dh from the
chest. No one can speak well who has
not the power to utter this sound freely
from the chest. Musical critics mean
this when they mention the pure and
free delivery of the voice"
The Broad "a"
The standard of pronunciation is and
must be the usage of those who are OF
the highest social culture, and must be
necessarily standard English. Faults in
pronunciation may be corrected by OBJ

cannot be pushed back far enough to

One should learn to do manicuring
for ones self. 1t is very easy, after
little practice. AT first soak the nails in
soap and water to which few drops OF
ammonia have been added Then raise
the cuticle about the nail and push it as
far back as it Will go. Trim the nails
with the scissors (the small curved
nail scissors are the bestD, and then use
the toughest side of the emery boards
which come for the nails, until they are
shaped properly.
Msnicuring at Home
Do not point the nails I think it is
IN very bad taste Fingers thus tipped
with nails remind one of claws. Use
blunt nail-cleaners or orange-wood
sticks to clean the nails Never scrape
them; it destroys the naturally polished
surface. and the nails will easily collect
dirt. If there are hang-nails, cut them
close to the skin. but above all things
do not cut the little selvage edge which
surrounds the nail. You will be troubled
with hang nails if you do, and it will
make it raw and bleed easily
Rub plenty of white vaseline into the
nails, or the carmine pomade that comes
especially for this purpose, remember
ing that it is not in good taste to make
the hnger7nails too pink with it. Then
take the nail-brush and with hot soap
and water scrub the nails, after which
you can polish them.

pass. 1t is a long, long ordeal, lasting
from before birth until the years OF dis
cretion have been reached by the child,
and :here are no periods of immunity.
| Unceasing watchfulness is the keynote
of good motherhood.
Selhshness, we are told frequently, is
the dominating influence OF our time.
Motherhood admits of nothing of the
kind Always the child should be the
first consideration, both on the part of
the mother and of the father. There
will be discouragements without num-
Der, obstacles innumerable. Always
there will be opposing influences to
overcome; but no battle can be won
save through fighting, and those who
would reap victory in having brought
into the world a man or woman Of
whom they may be Justly proud, must
struggle increasingly. The peace of old
age will be all the sweeter.

Mother-love IS, to my mind. born with
the child. Unfortunately there are cases
in which it dies from lack of nourish-
ment, or is superseded by simple affec-
ton through being choked by the weeds
OF selishness. distrust and ill-temper.
So many mothers who have loved their
babies come only to care for their
boys and girls.
And so many parents who have exer-
cised all the unselhshness their natures
were capable OF in behalf of their boys
and girls, have grown careless in their
attention to the welfare OF the youths
and maidens of their families Con-

Errors in Forms

Errors in Forms
Exaggerated terms are too frequently
used and are not in good taste, such as
G7Vfally nice, dwfHIIy pretty, beGstly
1Vedfher, perfectly splendid, etc.
Recently when reading a new and very
popular novel, | noticed a succession Of
errors in good form in the talk between
two OF the leading characters In nearly
every sentence the name was introduced
of the person addressed Whether the
talk was light OF casual, serious or emo
tional, there was running accompani-
ment of, Mr.. So-and-So," or, miss So
and-So." In the first chapter the name
of the man to whom she was speaking
came fourteen times from the lips of the
fair heroine; in another chapter the
name was repeated twenty times. This
error on the part of the author was as
tonishing and ludicrous in rs continual
repetition.

Secretary Ballinger explained that
his order directing that work should
be stopped was issued, first, because
he had some doubts as to the legal
authority of the interior department
|, to make the contract with the Water
Users association under which work
was commenced and, second, because
the reclamation service did not have
sufficient funds on hand or in pros
pectiye receipt to carry the work to
completion.
The contract with the Water Users
association contemplated the pay
ment by the members of the associa-
ton at this time of 100000 in labor
and material, as against like
amount to be furnished by the rec
lamation service, the association
members to be reimbursed by credits
upon future charges for water rights.
Secretary Ballinger stated that he
was not certain that such a contract
could properly be made under the
terms of the reclamation act. and un-
til he could be satisfied on that point
he preferred to have work suspended
upon the enterprise. He is having
the legal phase of the matter care
fully examined by the law officers
of his department and before de-
termining finally he will probably
submit the question to the attorney
general.
If it should be determined that the
contract is legal. the plan of coop

the Water Users association may be
