The primitive inihabitant s of' .Erope were all tenors. Their de4cenamti4 or the present 1i:ne are Inritones. ai rim ture generations will have seminaIss voices. The voice hs a tendency to deepen with age. The tenor of t wenty becomes the baritone of twenty-eight and the bass of thirty-six. The inferior races have higher pitched voices than the more cultured. The negro lis a higher voice than the white man. Amoig white races the fe!r cojuplex t1ROd 1 -. h 1 high" voie th:. his darker skinned brother. The former is usually a baritone or a tenor, the lat ter a contralto or bass. It is asserted that tehors are usually of slender build, whereas basses are stout, but there are too many exceptions to such a rule for it to be reliable. The same remark applies to the statement that thoughtful men have deep toned voices, and vice versa. The tones of a voice are perceptibly higher before than aft er a meal, for which reason tenors a-re generally careful not to sing too'soon after dinner.-Pearson's Weekly. Waiters Tipping Wekers.

When they had tin ished eating every last waiter tipped the fellow who had served him. I thought at the time it was a hint for us three or four nl Aliffars who hap ny there to ater that it aters.

The law of gravitation Is thus given in Newton's words: "Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force whose di rection is that of the straight line join ing. the two and whose magnitude IS proportional directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of their mutual distance."
