everyone feel at home, whether he had

building. Large donations OF hneh'

When Leaves Fall.

The call to the country is never so
strong as in autumn. Custom and
commerce and society have conspired
to call men back to the city just when
the heat has passed, and the mellow
ing air and the coloring world is most
alluring in the country. When the
haze hangs over the hills, and leaves
are green and gold and scarlet, and
soft sunlight of Indian summer fills
the world, then the west wind stirs in
man the half extinct memory of his
hunting ancestors and he longs to
strike the trail for the unknown woods.
Then it is his primal instincts prompt
him 10 build wood fires and sleep un-
der the starlit skies. But, alas! stern
necessity or feverish night of winter
gaiety call most men back to the nerv-
Gus grind of the world as 1t is But
only if we could strike the long trail
and answer the call of Indian summer,
what wonderful high adventure, what
keen delight, and restful health we
might find over the rim yonder-from
whence the west wind comes.-Har-

Physician Should Have Good Voice.


1t is not always the ablest and best
trained physician who gains the larg-
est practice and the greatest fame.
Many reasons have been suggested for
the failure of large numbers of gradu-
ates of the best medical schools and
Dr. T. d. Crothers, superintendent Of
a Hartford, Conn.,. hospital, finds a
new one in what he considers the Ia
mentable lack of musical, well trained
voices among members of his profess
sion.
knowledge alone does not constitute
the difference between failure and sue
cess, says DR.. Crothers, but the per-
sons capacity to apply this knowledge
in practical way. Such applica-
ton is impossible unless a man can
express his thoughts effectively and to
do this requires a good speaking
voice.
The greatest musical compositions
of the world if presented on broken,
discordant, inharmonious instruments,
would attract very little or no atten
tion. In the same way the human
voice, out of tune. broken, jarring, un
trained, can never convey facts and
thoughts in their proper setting.
The human voice is capable of as
thorough training and as high a de-
velopment as the intellect. 1t is an
instrument of marvellous capacity, al
most beyond our power at present to
realize. Yet In educational circles,
the tradition that the voice needs no
cultivation persist. and so far as sys-
tematic training goes. 1t is the most
neglected of all the functions of the
body.
Hundreds of graduates of the best
medical schools show a complete lack
of training in voice and expression.
They speak in harsh. broken, dis
cordant tones and with nasal inflec-
tions which are unpleasant and some
times positively repeilent.
This. DIR. Crothers believes, inter-
feres seriously with their success.
Voice culture, he urges, should begin
in the medical colleges and every stu
dent should be taught that his voice
is an organ worth cultivating and that
1t can be of far more practical value
to him than many other resources
that are considered essential in his
profession.
good voice not only creates a ia
Vorable impression of a doctors abil
ity, but it is often of positive benefit
to his patients. AS DIR. Crothers
points out the physician with a musi-
cal voice is much more welcome in the
sick room His soft tones bring re-
newed courage to the patient by strik-
ing, like the harmonies of music, re
sponsive chords in the brain and nerv-
Gus system.-Spokesm Review

Uses for Gold Filled Wire.

Since the advent of gold-filled wire
in the commercial jewelers. trade it
has been put to an almost countless
number of uses. It's durability and the
pliancy with which it may be handled
has made it an especial favorite in
many classes of work which hereto
fore were considered arduous and nee
essarily We're expensive.
Gold-tilled. wire is equal to gold in
durability. In fact it has many quail
ties not possessed by the solid" al
loyed products. Especially has gold
wire been found of unusual value in
the manufacture of spectacle rims. 1t
is easily worked 8aa5at9 oaN
AS evidence of the great amount en-
ployed it is We'll to recall that one
factory alone uses s1.0o0,0o0 worth OF
gold a year and about half of 1t finds
it's way into goldwire spectacle rims.
Gold filled" is in reality filled gold,
for it is a gold shell filed with an al
10y. Filled gold generally is made by
pressing gold sheets upon either side
of a sheet of baser mstal.-The Argus
