power and beauty of a vocal tone
necessarily suffers.
If alleged specialists recollected
their acoustics and the physics of
sound, they would recall that any pro-
lection or obstruction, any rough and
rugged or jagged edge will interfere
with and crack the tones into noises.
When the soft palate is closed, on
the other hand, there Is a diminution
not only of volume, pitch and
strength, but also of the number of
overtones. Anything that interferes
with the smoothness and openness Of
the nose and upper air chambers may
eliminate three or four overtones en-
tirely.
Particularly weak and tremulous
will be the fundamental as we'll as the
few overtones left. If there is thick,
chemically inf1amed pharynx or ton
sils they will still further work havoc
upon the singing voice.
The voices of birds and women are
usually more silver-sweet and har-
p1onious than mems because the skull
cavities are less turgid, swollen or

birds head are more symmetrical and
less given to COMPOSITIONS.

Seven or eight years after Cornelius
Vanderbilt succeeded his father,
William H. Vanderbilt, as the execu-
tive head of the Vanderbilt systems,
l had opportunity to learn how great
was the sons mastery of detail. His
friends sometimes thought that he
permitted himself to become too
greatly absorbed with detail to have
time or mental vigor sufficient for
him to consider properly important
plans and especially highly import
ant questions whose answer would
affect the management of his proper
ties.
Some of Mr., Vanderbilt's friends
were persuaded that the mass of de-
tails, some of them slight, with which
he burdened himself served to sap
his strength and made him more
easily the prey of the disease which
at last was mortal. In the northern
part of New York State there had
been built up an important trunk line
system. 1t was known as the Rome,
WATERFOWL and Ogdenshurg Railroad
Company Those who developed this
property had ventured to build
railroad which skirted the southern
shore of Lake Ontario and made con-
nection at Niagara Falls with one OF
the Western railroad lines. 1t was
competitor of the Vanderbilt line and
for seven or eight years the Wander
bits had been anxious to gain pos
session of it.
There was a good deal of railroad
strategy on both sides before at last
the agreement, was made to pass this
system over to the Vanderbilts upon
terms which were satisfactory to both
sides. The final papers were signed
one Saturday morning in the spring,
and l was invited to call at the main
office of the New York Central, where
/ was told some important informa-
ton would be given to me.
When l entered the office Mr.. Van
derbilt came forward, and after a
greeting pointed to a large
map which lay upon broad table of
the directcrs' room. He said:

troll of this railroad system" Then he

duke and gave him his death blow.
The young duchess, overcome with
grief as she was, took the stricken
duke in her arms and refused to be
separated from him for the short time
that he lived. 1t was seven months
after this that the heir to the duke
was born. He became well known
later as the Duke De Chambord, ow-
ing to his Legitimist claims to the
throne of France. He was sometimes
known as Henry w." though, of
course, he never became king. The
Duchess De Berry was his most able
and active supporter in his claims for
this honor.
Two women known to the literary
world of America were also born on
November 5. These are Ella Wheeler
Wilcox, a native of Wisconsin, and
Ida Minerva Tarbell. of Pennsylvania.
Mrs. Wilcox gained her first distinc-
ton through the publication Of
Poems of Passion" which called
forth some serious admiration and
much sarcastic disapproval. In spits
of her many critics she has continued
to be ranked among the most popular
OF American verse writers.
Miss TarbelPs chief work has been
as an editor, but 1t is because of her

try wide distinction as a writer upon

No one can carry grudee against

A bitter, revengeful thought is a
boomerang which is hurled back to

Gilbert Il Chesterton, in the New YORK
Times
Every other country Except Rus
sia,) one may say, has been an ally
OF the Turk-that is, of the Mongol
and the Moslem. The French played
them as pieces against Austria; the
English warmly supported them
under the Palmerston regime; even
the Young Italians sent troops to the
Crimea. and of Russia and her Aus
trian vassal it is nowadays needless
10 speak. For good or evil, it is the
fact of history that Russia is the'only
power in Europe that has never sup
ported the crescent against the cross
That doubtless will appear an I'M
important matter, but it may become
important under certain peculiar con-
ditions. Suppose, for the sake Of
argument, that there were a powerful
prince insEurope who had gone osten-
tatiously out of his way to pay rever-
ence to the remains of the Tartar,
Mongol and Moslem left as an out
post in Europe. suppose there were
a Christian emperor who could not
even go to the tomb of the cruciied
without pausing to cor 3ratulate the
last and living crucifier. If there
were an emperor who gave guns and
guides and maps and drill IN
structors to defend the remains of the
Mongol in Christendom. what would
we say to him? / think at least we
might ask him what he meant by his
impudence when he talked about sup
porting a semi Oriental power. That
we support a semi-Oriental power We
deny That he has supported an en-
tireIy Oriental power cannot be de-
MED. no, not even by the man who
did it,
But here is to be noted the essen
tial difference between Russia and
Prussia; especially.-by those who use
the ordinary liberal arguments
against the latter. Russia has a
policy. which she pursues. If you will

What an awful price many people
pay for the determination to get
square" with those they fancy have
injured them.
They do not seem to realize that no
matter what others do to US, every
bit of retaliation, every bit of injury
we do to them, every blow intended
for another really wounds ourselves.
| recently read a private letter from
soldier fighting in Europe, In which
he said that the great motive of his
comrades was to punish the enemy, to
get square with them, to shoot them.
butcher them. to destroy their prop
erty in order to get even for what
they were trying to do to them.
Trying to get square, has been the
cause of large part of the horrors
of history. The passion for revenge,
for retaliation, has done more tn
stain the pages OF history than any
thing else.
Think of the millions of men who
have gone war mad, whose worst
upon slaughter and all sorts of de-
struction.
Aroused by the appeal of their
leaders to their loyalty, their pa
triotism, and by the suggestion that
others are aiming to injure then. that
cruel enemies are trying to get the
better of them and rob them of their
rights, men of the same father mother
God have gone out to shoot, butcher
and slaughter one another, to wreck
homes, public buildings and factories.
and to sack cities which have been
built up by many generations of hard
work and thrift.
What must be the thoughts of those
cruel mutilators when the war Is over
and the war passion has cooled, when
the brute has gotten off the throne
and reason and justice reign again?
Can anything be worse than their re-
morse for such crimes?
But it is not only the men in the
ranks, but men and women employed
in the quiet pursuits of life who as
well are paying a terrible price for
their revenge-a price which often
staggers their advancement, kills

t. was a surprise to me when
coyoe face to face with the fact that
40 wild. nonadic tribes of the Sa-
bara use tablecloths. Of course, not
every Arab uses this appurtenance
of civilization, still it is surprising
that even the chiefs should make use
of such a thing when they are out
~, the desert and every pound OF
extra weight they carry is heavy
burden. Naturally these tablecloths
are not the kind that we know.
The Arabian tablecloth is an in
genious and rather odd, affair In
the first place, 1t is not made of
linen, but of red leather, and it is
not square but round. In the second
place, it is made like a cushion, and
is divided by thin strips of yellow
leather into equal segments, like a
pie is cut, with q large yellow de-
sign in the exact centre. The Whole
cloth is edged by a black cord, maxi
ing rather gay and attractive de-
sign.
/ puzzled over the reason for this
symmetrical design until dinner was
served, and then learned the reason
why the tablecloth was divided into
equal segments. Each Arab took his
place opposite one of the divisions
that was his place at table.
A dish OF ample dimensions filled
with a stew made of fowl, vegetables
and oil. and placed on the design II

A Lost Wager.
From the Boston Herald
In little company of exceptionally
ladies and gentlemen where
the talk was about the awful foreign
cataclySm, of course, the host offered
a small wager that none of his guests
could give accurately the family rela-
tlonship or relationships existing be-
tween the rulers of the three empires
now at war among themselves. The
wager was accepted, but it was not
won by any of those who accepted it.
In order to win it would have been
necessary to trace the several rela-
tionships as follows: King George of
England and Kaiser William of Ger
many are first cousins, King Georges
father and the kaiser's mother having
been brother and sister. King George
and Car Nicholas of Russia are also
first cousins, the kings mother.
Dowager Queen Alexandra, and the
cars mother, Dowager Empress
Dagmar, being sisters. King George
of England and Alix, czarina of Rus
STA, are first cousins the. former
father and the latter's mother having
been brother and sister. Kaiser VIII
lam of Germany and the czarina Of
Russia are also first cousins, the
kaiser's mother and the czarina s
mother being sisters Thus the kaiser
and the czar are first cousins by mar
riage. Frederick VIII. of Denmark
is brother of the Dowager Queen
Alexandra and the Dowager Empress
Dagmar, and is, therefore, uncle to
both King George and Gar Nicholas.
There are various other collateral
relationships existing between the
reigning families of England Ger
many and Russia through the reign
ing families of other European coun-
tries but those here given are thu
| closest. Having in mind all these
close relationships existing between
the rulers Of the three great empires
now at war among themselves, II
seems quite permissible to calculate:
| What q horrible family row!"

from the bank on her letter of credit

$40 and $40 bills, lay on the table in
her sitting room. The son was in a.
bad humor, and he suddenly caught
up the stack of bills and threw them
out of the open window. None of the
money was recovered.
