Our Voices.

think our conversational soprano,
as sometimes overheard in the cars,
arising from group OF young persons
who have taken the train at one of
our great Industrial centers, for in
stance, young persons of the female
sex, we will say, who have hustled in
full dressed, engaged in loud, strident
speech, and who, after free discussion,
have fixed on two or more double
seats, which having secured, they pro-
ceed to eat apples and hand round
daguerreotypes-I say, I think the
conversational soprano, heard under
these circumstances, would not be
among the allurements the old enemy
would put in requisition were he get
ting up a new temptation of st. An
thony.
There are sweet voices among us,
we all know, and voices not musical,
1t may be, to those who hear them
for the first time, yet sweeter to us
than any we shall hear until we listen
to some warbling angel in the over
ture to that eternity of blissful har-
monies we hope to enjoy. But why
should I tell lies? If my friends love
me, 1t is because l try to tell the
truth. 1 never heard but two voices
in my life that frightened me by their

Lo, the Rich Indian.

The per capita wealth of the Indian
is approximately s2,130, that for other
Americans is only little more than
$1,000. The lands owned by the In
dians are rich in oil, timber and other
natural resources of all kinds. Some
of the best timber land in the United
States is owned by Indians.
The value of their agricultural lands
runs up in the millions. The ranges
which they possess support about 50O,-
600 sheep and cattle, owned by lessees,
bringing in revenue of more than
$272,000 to the various tribes besides
providing feed for more than 1,500, 900
head of horses, cattle, sheep and goats
belonging to the Indians themselves.
Practically the only asphalt deposits
In the United States are on Indian
lands.-Red Man.

Had Money In Jumps.

Charles H. Rosenberg of Bavaria
had Jumps on his shoulders, elbows,
and hips when he arrived here from
Hamburg on the Kaiserin Auguste Vic
toria. In fact, there was series of
smaller Jumps along his spine, much
like mountain range, as it is present
ed on a bas-relief map
The Jumps were about the size Of
good Oregon apples, and as Rosen-
berg passed before the immigration
doctor for observation, the doctor said
softly to himself, "See that lump"
Then he asked Mr.. Rosenberg to step
aside.
You seem like healthy man."
said the doctor, "but cannot pass you
until / know the origin of those Jumps
on your body" "Ah, 1t is not sick
ness" laughed the man from Bavaria.
Those swellings is money"
Taking off his coat he broke open q
sample lump and showed that it con.
tanned $500 in American bank notes
He informed the doctor that he had
$1,000 in all, with which he was 60
ing to purchase an apple orchard In
Oregon.
He was admitted to the country

New Process Of s,alnlna Glass.

The art of coloring glass has been
lost and rebound, jealousy guarded
and mallciously stolen so many times
in the history Of civilization that It
seems almost impossible to say any
thing new on glass staining. Yet a
process has been discovered for ma
king the stained glass used In windows
which is a departure from anything
known at the present time. What the
Venetians and the Phoenicians knew
of 1t we cannot tell.
The glass first receives its design in
mineral colors and the whole is then
fired in heat so intense that the col
oring matter and the glass are indis-
solubly fused. The most attractive
feature Of this method is that the sur
face acquires peculiar pebbled char
acter in the heat, so that when the
glass is in place the lights are delight
fully soft and mellow.
In making a large window in many
shades each panel Is separately mould
ed and bent and the sections are as
sempled in metal frame.

The Leaaue of PoIiteness.

The League Of Politeness has been
formed in Berlin. 1t aims at inculcat-
ing better manners among the people
of Berlin. 1t was founded upon the
initiative of Fraulein Cecelie Meyer,
who was inspired by an existing Or
ganization in Rome. In difference to
the parent organization the Berlin
league has chosen the Italian motto,
PRO gentilezza" This will be en-
blazoned upon an attractive little
medal worn where Germans are ac-
customed to wear the insignia of or
ders. The idea is that GLANCE at
the "talisman" will annihilate any in.

discourteous language. ANY polite

Miss Matte belonged to the old

guest Of distinction.
On the morning following his arrival
she told Tillie, the little colored maid,
to take pitcher of fresh water to
Mr.. Firman's room, and to say that
Miss Matte sent him her compliments,
and that If he wanted bath, the
bathroom was at his service.
When Tillie returned she said:

ture the elixir of life"
Further on he says: ''The beginning and end
of the matter is TO supply the lacking princi
pie, and In molecular form, exactly nature
furnishes 1t in vegetables, fruits and grain
To supply def1ciencies-this Is the only law of
cure"
The natural conclusion is that If Phosphate
of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
it, you have brain fag because It's daily loss is
not supplied.
On the contrary If you eat food known to
be rich in this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
branbuilding.
In the trial sneer was uttered because Mr..
Post announced that he had made years of re-
search In this country and some clinics OF
Europe, regarding the effect of the mind on
digestion of food.
But we must be patient with those who
sneer at facts they know nothing about.
Mind does not work we'll ON a brain that Is
broken down by lack of nourshment.
peaceful and evenly poised mind Is neces-
sary to good digestion.
Worry, anxiety fear, hate, &C., &C., directly
interfere with or stop the flow of Ptyalin, the
digestive Juice of the mouth, and also inter-
fere with the flow of the digestive juices OF
stomach and pancreas.
Therefore, the mental state of the individual
has much to do (mo-e than suspected) with
digestion.

some interesting facts came out.
Some of the chemical and medical experts
differed widely.
The following facts however, were quite
clearly established:

thority Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts,
Phosphorc Acid and Potash combined (Phos
phate of Potash), 2.91 per cent Of the total,
533 of all Mineral Salts.

phate of Potash.
Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus, (Which join and make Phos-
phate of Potash), Is considerable more than
one-half of all the mineral salts in the food
DIR. Geo. w. Carey an authority on the con-
stituent elements of the body, says: "The
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phosphate

albumen and by the addition Of oxygen creates
nerve fluid or the gray matter of the brain.

month the Koran-according to Mos

Gabriel from heaven and delivered to
men in small sections. In that month,
Mohammed was accustomed to retire
from Mecca to the cave Of Hira, for
prayer and meditation. In that month
Abraham, Moses and other prophets
received their divine revelations. In
that month the doors of heaven are

Politics aside, the case of the new
governor of Tennessee goes to prove
that the day of equal opportunity has
not entirely passed In this country.
The new governor signs himself Ben

who his parents were.
He was found ON the streets of
Knoxville and committed to the care
of an orphan asylum, whence he was
taken ten years later By Captain Hoop

his name and educated him. From
orphan asylum to the executive man
