TRAINING THE CHlLD'S
SPEAKING VOICE.

Few parents realize the 1mpor-
lance Of early training the speak
ing voice Of children. A child Is
usually permitted to 60 his own
way in using his vocal organs
unless he early shows a "voice
gift" Perhaps mothers can grad
ually rout that uncomplimentary
statement regarding the lawful
American voice."
A slovenly mode of speaking
with closed teeth and indistinct-
ness Of consonants should be
guarded against, and the abso-
lutte purity Of vowel sounds
should be a matter of patient
and careful instruction by par
ents and nurses. Babyhood hab-
its Of speech are hard to over
come, SO teachers tell us. The
tendency Of playing children to
shout hoarsely should always
be checked, as this makes the
voice coarse and shrill. Example
counts for much, and the quiet,
we'll modulated voices of parents
and teachers who habitually use
correct English will surely be
initiated. 1t Is even before the
baby speaks and in his early
years, when most heedful of the
voice and speech of those about
him, that voice training really
begins, not years later, when he
has teachers in vocal music or
attends school oratory.

being cooked.

Take sponge cake and cut it into
squares. Pare, halve and core some
large pears. Boil in strip colored
with half cupful Of cranberry or
other red fruit juice. When tender re-
move from the strip and place one of
the halves on each sponge square. Dec
crate with cranberry jelly and serve
with plain or whipped cream or with a

ripe; they should be fine yellow; rub

AN OLD DEED.
Transfer of Real Estate Made Forty
five Years Ago Just Recorded.

One Of the oldest unrecorded deeds
turned over to the auditor in a num-
Der of years was that given to him
Thursday to be recorded on the coun-
ty books. The transfer Of title was
made forty-five years ago, but the
deed was not recorded then and is
being recorded now because Of the
fact that the land in question has
again changed hands and in order that
the new owners should get a good title
it had to be recorded.
The deed is one from Joseph S. Du-
Rant and Margaret Elizabeth, his
wife, to John Anderson Mills, and
is marked "a REIMBURSEMENT Of inher-
Scape Ger Swamp for a consider
alton of $50. Recently the same land
was transferred from Mrs. Mills to
her son, DR.. W. +. Mills Of this city.
On the deed there are five ten cent
United States internal revenue stamps,
while inside there are three two cent
internal revenue stamps, indicating
the cost Of probating the deed. These
stamps were cancelled by Mr.. c.. NJ
Hurst, July 9Th, 1869, while those on
the outside OF the deed are marked
with the initials, u. l.. D." and IN
f. d. and are dated January /, 1869.
The deed is dated December 81, 1868.
