Changes In the Hamas Vote.
The human voice changes least of any
thing about the Individual affected by
time. Who has not recognised an old time
friend merely by tbe sound of his voiceF
When tbe face and figure are wholly for
gotten, or havecbanged so much by reason
of "age and disease as to be uo longer at
once recognizable, the voice recalls the past
and works successfully upon the memory.
From the hour when youth breaks in upon
tbe piping treble to that when old age re
news it the voioe remains about the same,
affected by neither sickness nor health,
poverty nor prosperity. Friends have rec
ognised each other by the voice when not a
landmark of individuality was left to tbe
eye.
I saw a man wholly anahle to recogniie
another at the Fifth Avenue botel the
other evening after thirty years, and upon
tbe first sound of his voice call him by
name instantly. The recognition was mu
tual, ft is the fault of many not to be able
to readily remember names. A few words
will almuKt certainly recall tbe name aud
urroundiugs-rthat is, if there was ever
any earlier familiarity between the indi
viduals. 1 have successfully tried that
method repeatedly. A little attentlou to
this peculiar characterisUc, the voice, and
you can name anybody you have known
very well without swing him. no matter
