The Eyes and the Voice.

A physician in London, DR.. William
Martin Richards. has had occasion to
observe relation existing between
the eyes and the voice and has re,
Gently made 2 statement Of two cases
that came under his treatment where
actresses who had lost their voices
completely recovered them when
treated for defective eyes and fitted
with proper glasses.
He tells Of one young woman in
whose family eye diseases were hered-
itary who found herself at the age
of twenty-five losing her voice. Her
eyes were found to be in need Of at
tention and when she had been sup
piled with glasses she promptly re-
covered her cinging voice.
When she discarded the glasses
some time later and her eyes were
once more neglected her voice also
relapsed into a husky state that pre-
cluded all singing. This practitioner
has observed a number of similar
cases and the discovery of the rela.
ton between the eyes and the voice
should certainly be valuable to stage
folk and others who depend largely
upon their voices for their status in
the world.

Manuscript of Thirteenth Century.

While reading a French book OF
the sixteenth century In the univer,
sity library, st. Andrews, the German
lecturer, Or. Scnaaffs, noticed some
fragments of an Old French poem
which the binder had pasted on back
and covers of the book.
After loosening them he removed
the glue and out of the four pieces OBJ
tanned composed two larger pieces,
parts, of two leaves of a manuscript
written in beautiful and clear type
In two columns of thirty-nine lines
each, 144 in ALL with red and blue in
itials. The names occurring in the
text leave no doubt that the frag-
ments contain parts of the old French
chason lie Roman de Girard de
Viane," and from the language and
the script it appears that the manu-
script was written between 1850 and

Comparison of Interest to Ameri-
can Workers.
Reading This Statement From Lon
don, Can Any One Question the
Wisdom of Republican Partys
Protective Policy?

A London dispatch announcing the
intention OF the Reuter- Telegram COM
pany to substitute boys for girls in it's
messenger service after the 9th of
this month throws incidentally a light
on the low compensation of labor in
Europe, when it quotes as follows an
explanatory statement of the manag-
ing director:
1T Is purely a matter of expense.
Our experience of girl messengers has
convinced US they are from fifty to
sixty per cent. dearer than boys The
wages of girls vary. Some are earn
ing twelve shillings and others eleven
shillings a week Their hours are
from o'clock in the evening. They
finish early Saturday afternoons, and
not begin work again till the follow
ing Monday. On the other hand, the
boys-and there are two separate
stats, one for day work and one for
night work-take messages to the
newspaper Offices. Their wages
range from eight shillings up to ten
shillings weekly"
Think of what these wages mean in
American money. The compensation
of the girls, which now, it seems, is
considered too high, is 1915 and SO
per week. The wages for which boys
can be got to do the work are 81 a
week to s2.50. Is it wonderful that
Europeans crowd into the United
States, attracted by the higher wages
and better conditions of living which
have existed in this country under the
system of protection to American la
Dor that the Democrats have underta-
ken to supersede. Is it wonderful that
there are American manufacturers
who feel apprehensive of what may
follow the attempt to compete with
foreign rivals who hire labor at wages
far below those which prevail here?
There are signs that recently this fear
has begun to extend to the ranks of
labor. 1t always has been the claim
of advocates of the protective system
that no class of the community is
more concerned in the maintenance of
protection than the men who work for
wages.
