NERVE FAG AND THE VOICE.
.lust why the condition of one’s
nerves should be reflected in the hu
man voice may be an abstruse ques
tion for analysis, but brushing aside
such matters as cause and effect, we
have the bald statement of a dis
gruntled husband that it is a dis
agreeable fact, and the main charge
in his divorce proceedings.
This husband tells the court that
he is close to nervous prostration
through listening to his wife’s queru
lous voice. When he should be resting
front the fatigue of the day’s labor,
says this husband, he is instead un
dergoing a var’ety of nerve cruci
fixion which leaves him in a condi
tion of chronic exhaustion.
There is an irritating tone quality
in the voice of a person afflicted with
nerve fag, especially in moments of
excitement, that grates on every ear.
The subject matter under discussion
is of small consequence; it may be
inconsequential, or it may be con
troversial, but the key in which the
voice is pitched impinges upon some
hidden spring of resentment in the
listener, and the spark of irritation
is kindled, mten leading to serious
breaches of domestic amity. Ilut this
peculiar voice condition is by no
means confined to women. It is ap
parent among men, in the marts of
trade, on the street and in every de
partment of human activity.
A woman busied in ner pressing
and often trying domestic duties be
comes an easy prey to nerve fag
and curious vocal reflex. Men load
ed with nicotine and business cares
fall easily into this querulous condi
tion, and impose their discontent up
on those about them. In the sordid
affairs of business this defect is not
so noticeable as in the home, where
peace and restful quietude and the
relaxation from daily cares are so
desirable. Woman’s voice, we are re
minded. should be ever soft and low,
this being a most excellent trait in
women. i
But it is much better to realize
the physiological cause of this diffi
culty and to endeavor to modify it
than to appeal to the divorce court.
Touples having no other important
differences than the irritating quality
of the wife’s voice should be able to
adjust the trouble by a mutual tol
eration.
Many husbands might go much
farther in the quest of a wife with a
soothing voice, and fare worse.—Se
attle Post-Intelligencer.
COMPULSORY TRADE BY STAND
ARDS.
In Philadelphia, under compulsion
of local law, there is to be forth
with a change in trade customs of
long standing. It has been brought
about by the activity of the head
of the new .bureau of weights and
measures, who is seeking to.protect
the people against their own habits
of improvidence. Under this rule no
dealer is hereafter to be permitted to
sell anything by the “5 cents’ worth”
or "10 cents’ worth,” or any other
system involving the use of the mon
ey terms instead of the terms of
weights or measures.
The vendor is obliged to explain to
the customer, who puts his request
in such terms, that he will sell him
for the price referred to a certain
portion of a pound or of a quart, or
whatever may be the particular unit
of weight or measurement for that
particular article. Thereafter the
prescribed amount must be weigh
ed out or measured out to the cus-.
tomer, using standard weights and
measures.
No dealer can hereafter sell a “b<&
of candy.” He can sell a pound or
some portion of a pound of candy,
and is penalized if he gives less than
the prescribed amount-. The "baft of
peanuts for a nickel" no longer can
exist. A man may get a pint or a
half pint of peanuts duly measured
out to him.'
Furthermore, in all measurements
or weighing the receptacle must, be
left put when the article; is being
weighed. The head of the new bu
reau insists that the people of this
country have been mulcted out of not
less than $5,000,000 annually in paying
for the wooden dishes on which but
ter, lard and some other commodi
ties are served to them at the prices
per pound at which the contained ar
tides are sold.
All' of which may be very true,
but the fact remains that the average
American, male or female, will look
upon the new rules as making more
bother to them than the .saving is
worth. — Kx.
