Street Cries m Minor Key. *
1 “Street erica are nearly always In ;
•the minor key,” *ays Hie Paris Jour
•nal d*s Debate. And an Pnglish com
mentator avers that this key is main
tained in onr own street cries—such
ns i't'cct lavender." And he thinks
the explanation is that the minor key
involves less strain on the throat that
has to emit the saute cry all day loug.
Hut London cries are few of them In
the minor key of the Parisian boy
i who heralds the evening on the boule
vards with “Volla. Le Soir. M Our own
I newspaper boy hr*3 cultivated'the rau
cous monotone that collects politics
nn.l tmJrders into one simple yell.
There is nothing of the miner key
abont the milkman's announcement.
An i perhaps the least musical of all
cries is that of the man who hawks
coal about the street. He does not
shout ’‘Coal.'* 'No stranger would sus
pect him of coal. Ho emits only a
stngio bellow, rerented at short inter
val, a bellow without ferm oi comeli
ness; it is the least • u.u j ucaoiai
nntcr of the s 4 re.M cry.
