inent people are enthusiastic in their praise of the high purpose of the book, whereas others declare it im- moral in tone. Everywhere that books are read "The Woman Thou Gavest Me" seems to be the sole subject of discussion, which re- solves itself down to the question: what constitutes an immoral novel? MT. Hall Caine, who expects to vis- it America shortly, in the following letter to his publishers, trenchantly illuminates the subject:
 q am quite pained and surprised to hear that a number of American libraries have placed ban on my latest book "The Woman Thou Cav est Me-, and have called it an im- moral tale despite the moral les son that I desired to teach. It, of course, makes little difference to me whether a few thousand more or less of my work are bought for li- brary circulation. What does mat ter, is that a novel which have written with all the resources of my brain and all the forces of my soul should now be denied an audience which specially desire to reach the large and sincere audience that depend for their literature on the great Free Libraries of your coun- try. I belonged to that audience myself in England in my youth and early manhood, and hence it would be a lasting grief to me to feel that in the judgment of even q few H- brarians I had written a book which was not fit for such readers as l was forty years ago."
 One of the grieYous errors of many people is to assume that if a book contains scenes of immoral ity it is an immoral book. That is by no means so. It is wrong to con clude that because you see in a book bad people or wicked scenes that book itself is necessarily bad and wicked. Unhappily there are many bad and wicked scenes in life, and to write them in the right way may be the most moral thing an au- thor can do.

YOUR OWN VOICE.
How You May Hear It as 1t Sounds to

How You May Hear It as 1t Sounds to
 Other Persons Ears.
 Laloy, who appears to have scien' udc.llly investigated the matter, as sures us that not only does one not see himself as others. see him, but that he does not hear himself as others hear him. Some interesting experiments were made by the French savant il" this connection.
 In order to ascertain whether a man really knew the sound of his own voice. Laloy has been at some pains to determine the facts. His experiments show that if a person record on phonograph disk a few sentences pro nounced by himself, together with oth- CTS recorded by friends, and causes the machine to reproduce these, 1t most frequently happens that the man more easily recognizes the voices of his friends than he does his own.
 It appears that the differences lies in the quality of the tone. One hears his own voice not only through the air, as do his auditors. but across the solid parts between the organs of speech and those of hearing. The sound thus produced has Il different timbre from that conducted to the ear by the mir above.
 If one entertain any doubt as to this let him try the following experiments: Take the end of wooden rod between the teeth and pronounce the vowel continuously. Let the other end be taken alternately between the teeth and released by another person who at the same time stops his ears. The lat ter will find that every time he seizes the rod in his teeth the sound will be stronger than when it reaches the ear through the air above and that it has different quality. The passage of sound through a solid body augments It's intensity anu modiies It's quality HarDer's Weekly.

ALL THE INFORMATION NEEDED
What the Bashful Girl Learned Froyr the Brutal Clerk In the Post
 office.

She was all dolled up in her gay est winter toggery and she advanced to the information window at the postoffice with a pink tinted missive in her hand.
 ''l want you to tell me" she com- manded between tell-tale blushes as she showed him the address on the envelope, ''how long it will be before l can get an answer to this letter."
 "That all depends" growled the cold, indifferent clerk, upon whom her charms made not the slightest impression. If he's in jail he can't write but once a week. or maybe once month. If he's dead broke he'll have to wait until he can raise the price of stamp, and l don't know how much of a hustler he is. If he's laid up in a hospital he may not want to send you his choicest heart lhrobs via third and disinterested person. If he's meanwhile died he'll be beyond the reach of the mails. If he's picked up new best girl"

 House of the Dalal Lama.
 The Dalai ama's late temporary residence at Kalimpong, the Bhutan Dunbar house, is now occupied by RaJa Ujen Dorjee's sister, the Kazini Wangmola. The Lama's three rooms, the audience chamber, sitting room and bedroom, are just as he left them.
 Hundreds of butter lamps lie about on tables and mantel shelves and, the windows being closed, the smell of rancid butter is sickening. A large shrine is being erected in the Lamas bedroom. This room will thus be- come kind of holy of holies in the estimation of the northern Buddhists. The dais in the audience chamber is beautifully painted in Tibetan fash ion, with gorgeous colored silk can- opy overhead.
 Colored Chinese silk canopies were also hung above his bed and couch. There was also some fine European furniture in all the rooms. The name of each room was written on the lintel outside in bold cursive Tibetan char acters.-Japan Advertiser.
