Treads on His Own Toes.

IT IS most unfortunate that Senator Tom Wat
i cannot control his temper 1t is unfor-
tunate for him and for the country. He is man
OF very decided talent and Of marked ability which
he himself renders valueless The habit of total
loss of dignity is at least to total loss of in
fuence. An entire absence of consideration of the
rights OF Others sacrifices the respect of others and
merits this loss.
The Senator's most recent TRADE against Gen.
Bethel and Maj. Cocheu would be amusing but
for its essentially serious side Those who know
these officers can appreciate that the snap of their
jaws, when not relieved by enthusiastically
kindly smile, and their ability to look straight
through even a hard-boed conscience and make if
spill its contents, may, if used upon the Senator.
have made him quite uncomfortable provided his
own conscience was, not crystal clear. But his
threat of personal chastisement-he Senator should
get over this habit; it is hardly becoming and
might result in some being spanked
He has serious business before him, business of
his own making and he must produce at least a
fairly respectable case to uphold his accusations
which for more than year he has spilled along
the wayside, or what he says in the future will
have no other effect than that of annoyance at a
spoiled child immune from other discipline than that

VOICE CULTURE.

VOICE CULTURE
 One of the first things you must learn when you. study voice culture is the correct way to breathe. That is the only point I want to make today in this Chat, which is the third of a series on vocal culture.
 You must keep three things an
 Practice for breath control,
 Practice for breath capacity,
 Learn to inflate the whole lung tract.
 Some people, when they breathe in fate only the chest. Some people breathe more deeply and fill the lower part of the lungs with air, but do not seem to expand the chest at all. The correct method is to breathe so as to get the air deep down in the lower part of the lungs and into the upper part as well.
 Always breathe in through the nose. Dust and impurities are strained from the air and retained in the nasal pas sages. These also regulate the moist ure of the air and give the voice 8 pleasing sound.
 When you practice breathing exer- cises, be outdoors or near an open window so that the air is fresh. high, breathe in through the nose while you count five, breathe out through the mouth while you count five Practice this for awhile, with out making any sound as you breathe. Be sure you get enough air to fill first the lower part of the lungs around the diaphram, and secondly the chest. One breath should fill all your body. The breathing exercises

Beauty Chats By Edna Kent Forbes

should be done at least once a day.
 Next week, I will give some of the special exercises for developing re- sonance of the voice.
 A Reader-The best advice that can give a. self-conscious person, either a man or a. woman, is this forget yourself. You can probably only do this by forcing yourself to become extremely interested in the person you are with. Another piece of advice is to go out in company as much as possible. You may have to and at first it will be very difficult, but in the end you will find it the way to overcome self-consciousness.
 EXpectation-You can make the eyelashes longer and thicker and a little bit darker by rubbing them with castor oil.
 Corinne-The little lines under the eyes are not due to bad disposition. The people who tell you that are only teasing you. These little lines are sometimes called laughing wrinkles and they appear at various ages. You are probably a little run down at the present time, because of your school and house work.
 All inquiries addressed to Miss Forbes in care of the Beauty Chats department will be answered in these columns in their turn. This requires considerable time,s however, owing to the great number received. So if a personal or quicker reply is desired, 8 stamped and self-addressed enveI- ope must be enclosed with the ques- tion.-The Editor.
