Child OF Genius.

An actor was talking at the Play
ers' Club in New York about David
Belasco's skill as stage manager.
"Belasco." said the actor, has a
superhuman sense Of the harmonies,
the illnesses of things. This enables
him to carry out stage scene to
such small details as no man ever
dreamed of before.
q "Belasco, even IN his childhood.
possessed this unique sense of har-
mony. An uncle once gave him a
couple of chocolate cigars, then said
to the little boy:
What are you going to do with
them, David?'
"Ill go. and eat them in the smok-
ing room" was the prompt reply

Good in Low-voiced Reply.

We have discovered in our home
that if the table talk gets too noisy
one Of the family may bring the rest
to order by speaking in sudden whis-
per- Parents often sacrifice much to
give their children dancing and music
lessons, but the most lovely accom-
plishment of all, soft and pleasant
speaking voice, is something they may
themselves develop in the children
find that child reflects almost in
stantly the tone of voice of one who
speaks to him. A very gentle and
low-voiced reply to an excited or an
cry child reduces his next remark to
half in volume. To answer the vexa-
ton of little child in a whisper
catches attention, often brings a laugh
and is far better than to stamp the
fretful tone deeper by mimicking 1t,
as parents sometimes do. Example is
better than precept. Parents who have
themselves learned self-control, and
that it is never necessary to raise
ones voice In order to speak with dig
nifty and authority, are teaching their
children priceless lessons. That a
soft answer turneth away wrath is a
cardinal maxim for the household

the Davis torpedoes will he fired against
this catsson. and to insure their hitting
the mark fairly they will be run along a
wire cable attached to the caisson at one
end and to the vessel which discharges
the torpedo at the other.
Experts from both the navy and army
ordnance bureaus have been ordered to
witness the tests which were to have
taken place this week. but have been
