Vulcss tbo voice sounds cordiality words are powerless; unless the voice attests self coulhh nee protestations do not convince; unless the voice speaks sincerity the apology is useless. It Is necessary that we should control the voice to a collection of that phase of mind and mood which we desire to present. When we would convince people of our olilcioney, we must not permit a v ; eak kneed voice to stagger under the words. When our heart goes out in warmth and affection, it cannot get far in a brass lined, iron liotinil voice. Conciliation is vain when t!ie voice rings defiance. Imagine yourself at a telephone when the Instrument whirs and wheezes. The most impassioned ap peal to John to come home to dinner and meet Cousin Mary is likely to prove Ineffectual. A message to “that brute of a dressmaker man” who wants ids money may he divided Into the receiver with all dignity of tone atul choice of word, but the wabbled reproduction at the other end does upt go. You may use all your mo. t dulcet tones and most expressive words when you are talking through the possessed wire to the business manager, but if the possessed wire is in a creaky fit the business manager does not get the right Idea at all. The truth is that most of us are al ways talking through a telephone. The honest will, the courteous Intent, the high heart of courage, speaks clear and sweet and strong, but the mufiled, wheezy, creaky, thin, unnatural, color, less result at our lips misrepresents us. and John doesn't, the dressmaker man Insists, and the business man- i ngp!' gives the other fellow the Job. j What can we do about it? The dllli- ! eully Is almost always first a voice I habit—a color the voice has taken on ' from some prevailing tint in our life, i This is so witl) almost every one. This stain of the natural voice color is not voice individuality; it is a modifying of voice individuality, an obscuring of it. It is a habit, not a characteristic. It must be got rid of. Only just what you want must go Into your voice. Think of that a lit tle. When you eail to the child who stamis on the edge of a fall, shall your paid** go into your voice or just the re- assuring'note of gentle authority that you know will bring the child to you instead of startling it over the dread ful edge? When you interview the in subordinate cook, shall your sense tiiat site very well deserves to he thrown out of your back door and her trunk on top of her prevail in your voice or your earnest desire to keep her in hand till after the impending dinner? When you face just the per sonality in your world who holds at the minute your fortunes in his gift, shall your sick sense that lie does not know anil may not believe In your fitness for what you are going to ask color your voice, or shall your firm belief that you can 11 li the place characterize it? That is the whole question. Shall your voice vibrato to such quality of your mood as you choose, or shall it bo at the mercy of just what will do you in justice in the mind of those who hear? —Werner's Magazino. Fire!

And these Irish regiments are freer from any admixture of for eign or non-Irish blood than probably any other seven regiments in her maj esty’s army. Not only are these Irish regiments composed of Irishmen, but the mixture of Irishmen in the English and Scottish regiments Is very material.

A few of them paid him cash but by fur the great er port ton of tin m said it was not convenient then but would pay later. A few month? passed And the man’s bunk account ran low. “How’s this,” ho said, “my ISO*) bushels of wheat t-houiJ have k< pi me In ullluet.ce until unothi r crop Is raised, but 1 have parted with th.) grain and have instead only a vu.-t number of accounts, so small and scattered that I cannot get around and collect thorn fast enough to pay expenses.” Ho ho posted up a public notice asking all those who owed him to pay quickly, but few came. Tho rest said “Mine is only a small matter, and I will go and pay it one of t!)*.*-..* days” forgetting that though each ac count was small, they meant a large sum to the man. Tilings went on thus, i'he man got to feeling so badly that he fell out of bod nnd awoke, nnd running to bis granary found tiie 18U0 bushels of wheat still tin re. He had only been dreaming; he had m.t sold ins w heat at ail. Moral: The mxt day the men went to the puplisher of his paper and saitl: “Here, sir, is the pay Lr your paper,and when next year's sub scription is due you can depend on me to pay promptly. 1 stood in Die position of an editor last night, and I know how it feels to have one’s hon- o.-tly earned money all over the coun try in small accounts,” Itelutu Hefero. p liitrl'>ite News.| Here is a fable for tho man who doesn’t advertise. “A duck which had laid several deze.'! eggs during the season, complained that while in r working record was more than tha' of the hon’d, tho latter had bonks and poems written in her honor while no one had a word of praise fort lie- duck A wise old rooster standing by said: ’’You lay an egg and then waddle off wilhout saying a wmd, while thut sister of mine rs one withon* letting everyone in the neighborhood know about it. If you want to cut any ice around here you must advertise.” If your bruin won't work right and you miss tho snap, vim and energy that wasonco yours, you should take PiucKLV Asm Bittkus.
