If it is iu tended to I founded upon the principles of co-operation, self government and self sup port. W orklng girla cannot Im forced Into club organised In their Interests any more than auy other people can la? driven Into a siarial club. They wish to know their proosrd trailers, and here friendship must lie at Ihe root of the matter, lo guard against the springing up of cliques It is well to have Ihe early memia-rs repre sent different occupations. Women of leisure, teachers, saleswomen, clerks, slen ogrnphrrs. ilrt-ssiimkers and mill and fac tory employees It at the start there la a mingling of these each will bring in friends, and a sisterhood of women will be tbe result, all interested in mutual alms but coming from different surroundings. Tb Importance of Impressing on member their Individual reaotiihUiiy to th club cannot bs too strongly urged. In Kurope a working girls club could not be started la-cause the principles of or ganization are not comprehended as yrt. In thia country organization Is understood because wage earning women breathe lb air of self government. Tbe class of girls tbat come into the clubs are women wbo are accustomed to Join other form of or ganization, such aa la-urllt as-ietlea, lodgca, sic. There are in this city an enormous number uf wage earning women, prrbapa 90,ttU or 4O,0m, who belong to Ibe women's bmnchna of tb Freemasons' organizations and other societies, and in these they bar already learned somethlug about the ben- Ota of associations. The rlulst are giving to girls an oppor tunity, and are doing for uue class what Soroaie, th Woman' I'reaa club, the Wedneaday Afteruoou club, etc, are doing for others.

Where are tbey f W bavt girla belongiug to our club who earn but H a week, girls wbo work for "sweaters. and who doth humblest kind of factory work, and yet w are told we do not reach tbe really poor girl. I received a miserable anonymous letter two or three day ago. aaklng why we do not devote our money lo better purtioaes than to New Y'sar's parties at lb Madison Square garden.

Tb principle of our movement are pene trating everywhere, and ran any one say that tb result are not good? I am asked by what right I am a mem ber of lb Working Girls' club, and why Mrs. Richard Irviu and others are admit ted. Th club girl settled that question themselves one evening at a diacusaioo. It waa decided that Mrs. Richard Irviu and others were working womrn, but tbey might be said lo be working with money, not for motley. It la not a question of dol lar and ceuta, or of th kind of work.

The Kulsetla Video. Mr. C Davidson i'ulitier. Mtu. Uac. Oxon., culls the attention of scientific men to an apparently unknown fact in connection with voice production. Thi fact has to do with the so called "falset to' voice. The general opinion about thi kind of voice ia that it is something altogether unnatural, and that it ought never to be used. According to modern cientihe theories, however, it U on of two or more registers, and usuprMated to be iutendod by nature to be Used only at the up-r extremity of the vihuI com pos. Hut it ia quite piawible to produce thi kind of voice at a much lower pitch (at leant an m tave lower) than that at which lingers are ever taught to use It. Produced in thi way. it mny I o weak and feeble oa to be practically use loss. Still it is possible so to tirialuce it. men and singers well know What they do not know and what scientific men appear to Iw totally unaware of, is that it may be developed at thi low pitch, aud not only deveload. hut com pletely transformed When thus trans formed it haw entirely it unnatural and eflleniinate character, and become a trong, manly voice, which is easily mis taken for what is commonly called "cheat voice." but which, unlike that kind of voice, it capable of U-artng throughout its whole it mi pass any strain that may be put upon It.-Kngltsh Mechanic Aa Old Tine HrhooUnasler.
