Secretary United States Civil Service Commission, T would be rash to hazard a prediction respecting the future ot women in government employ. It is too early to pass judgment on what she can do in competition with men in the higher fields of business endeavor. She needs a generation or two in which to get to her enfranchisement, to practice her untried powers and to rise out of centuries of self-effacement, repression and insufficient equip- " ment. She needs time perfect her gradual approach to man’s powers in mental work. She has done well in the ordinary clerical grades. The women who have failed im these grades were not appointed under the | competitive system and do not fairly represent the capacity of the sex. Thosé who have been appointed because they stood highest in competitive examina- tion are earning an increasing shave of promotions and commendation. In the government service she is finding a career and opportunity for the development of her powers Uncle Sam, with all his faults, is the best-natured and most generons of employers. He does not cut wages to a starvation basis nor unfeelingly dismiss dependent women like an unscrupulous sweater or con tractor. ’ The positions to which women have been appointed in the governmeat service are of various kinds—too many to enumerate here. As I write I learn that there no men eligible for physician, although there are vacancies waiting to he filled. There is, however, one woman eligible and her appointment is under consideration. Among the kinds of places to which women have been appointed in the past year are the following: Artist, assistant microscopic? computer, industrial teacher, hospital attendant, -baker, cook, laundress, com: positor, press feeder and document cataloguer. Instances of examinations shortly to be held for filling existing vacancies, and to which women may be admitted, are: Piecework, computer in the Naval Observatory and also in the Nautical Almanac Office, architectural designer, photographic assistant, chemi: cal clerk, department assistant in the Philippines (especially in book-keeping, finance and chemistry), preparator and modeller in the National Museum. Upon registering her name with the Civil Service Commission any woman may receive the announcements showing the scope of examinations to be | held in the lime of any special qualifications she may possess. She may alsc receive a Manual containing appointment, with specimen questions in ex aminations.—Coliier's Weekly. Ct Rn HL RK The Care and F.ducation of the Voice. By Harold G. Henderson. S® apr BT is hardly necessary in these days to call attention to the desire I bility of voice culture, because its importance is generally recog: bi nized among professional men and women; but for the benefit of 5 Ri those who are not informed on the subject I will make a few sug: a kl gestions that may be of service to them. joer Every voice has some one quality more nearly normal than rR others, and it the object of the teacher to build up or build down e others through the whole gamut until the voice is thoroughly developed. The scale of a piano may be used as an iliustration. cach key in succession. If the tone of the note is weak, he strengthens it to correspond with others, If it is too heavy, he must experiment #ntil the tone produced harmenizes in volume with its neighbors. So with the human voice. Under ordinary circumstances it has weak spots that must be strengthened. The rough quaiities must be made smooth, and such improvements made in the others as will produce a well rounded, full instrument, capable of meeting all demands made upon it. The first great requisve for a good voice is a good pair of bellows—the lungs. You cannot produce full tones in the vocal pipes unless the wind supply 1s ample and well controlled. Pecple with narrow voices, because the air is forced through the passages in the throat is insuf- ficient in volume to act on the vibrating chords. The firct thing to do in voice building is to develop the capacity of the lungs. This can be done by various exercises, all of which have one pur pose—ihe filling of the lungs with air to their actual capacity and controiling its exhalation.

Poverty is not crime, but, then, neither is it anything of which to be proud, although we hear it boasted of so often that we are in danger of forgetting that poverty is not the badge of honesty and more than wealth is the seal of corruption. Peverty is sometimes a blessing, since it enables a man to tell who his friends are. It is also a blessing because it serves to make wealth endurable to those who possess it. Where would be the fun for rich people in making a splurge if they hadn't any poorer friends to watch the show? What should we do with our old ball gowns if we hadn't any poor relations who never go to balls? How else could we secure the ten-dollar glow that comes as the result of five cents worth of charity if we bad not the poor always with us? Poverty is never monotonous.

By Frank Munsey. gIRECTED physical mcvements similar to those taught in the gym nasium should be begun in very early life in the home, hoth as a matter of mental enteviainment and to invigorate the body. Such exercise should be accounted as play by the child and should be should be shared by the parent as far as possible. The tendency of children to fall into bad habits of posture in 7 FF standing and sitting is one of the overcoming of which parents and teachers should bend their energies with great earnestness. The correction of such habits when established reacts upon the thought-life of the child help fully.

A Post-Mortem. A certain knight of the quill in a gov- ernment office once upon a time asked for a week's leave that he might go to bury his father. This was readily grant- ed. A day or two afterward there ar- rived a visitor who wished to see Mr. A——, the orphan. Mr. A ’s chieli explained that he wasn't to be seen— in fact, he had gone away to bury his father, “But,” said the stranger, “I am his father,” : | “Well,” replied the official, a man of few words. “I don't know anything about Mr. A——'s private affairs; I only know he has gone to bury you.” At the end of the week of mourning Mr. A——— returned, looking very dis- consolate. When asked by his chief how he had fared he pulled a very long face and said he had had “the melan- choly satisfaction of seeing the last rites properly performed,” and so on; add- ing that of course he felt very deeply on the subject, but that no doubt time would lighten the load of his affliction. “Ah,” replied the otfer, "I can sym- pathize with you. I los father when I was a young man. Eien you lose your father you lose your best friend. I hadn't the pleasure of your poor fath- er's acquaintance during his lifetime, : but he called here a few days after his death, and I had a short conversation with him. Now, this wast most irreg- ular; and my object in sending for you was this——when next the poor old gen- tleman dies, do, if you possibly can, arrange to have him buried, and be back here to meet him in case he calls again. That's all.

The sensitiveness of the families of distinguished men as to the early occu- pations of their ancestors is somewhat Recently an author was asked to write a brief history of the life of a man who had done service to Like Lincoln, this man had been a woodchopper, a fact to which his historian gave prominence. “Don’t say he was a “woodchopper,” “That will never do.” r “What shall I say then?” asked the author. “Say—let me see now. Just say that he was connected with the iumber busi- ness. Ind.zestion, congested liver, impure blood, constipation, these are what afflict thousands of people who do not kihow what is the matter with them.
