The Voice.
Dr. Ward, of New York, says on this
subject, of the many agents which have
more or less influence on the voice the
four principal are climate, drees, diet
and exercise. Change of climate may
cause some slight deleterious effect on
the larynx, but this influence is greatly
overestimated. The present fashionable
style of dress is decidedly unhealthy.
The chest and abdomen are unnaturally
confined, the lungs and other organs
acting abnormally. All clothing should
be loosely attached to tne Doay, anu mo
dross worn high. Avoid as much as
possible appearing in full dress. The
throat should not oe wrappeu w.
forters, boas, etc. Chest protectors
should not be worn, and the feet should
be guarded against wet. The diet of the
singer should be bland as wen as nuvn-

For the full development and preser

must be observed. The exercises must
be regularly and systematically prac

never be made use of when the vocal
organs are attacked with cold, no matter
how slight. Always practice Bnuiuiug

the lungs and accessory vocai uibub.
Bodily exercise is especially beneficial
to the singer. In short, learning to
sing is learning to be healthy.

At the beginning of the war he made up
his mind firmly that he would never
come out of it alive. (After reading me
the telegram announcing the armistice,
one of the first things he said was :
" Well, perhaps I won't get killed after
all.") With this idea firmly fixed in
his mind, that his death was only a
question of a few weeks or months, his
ono thought was how to best use his
life so as to make an impression on his
men, and gain such a control over them
that they would follow him anywhere.
In everything that he did ho tried to
eliminate the idea of danger from their
minds, and to make the most dangerous
exploit appear as an ordinary every-day
affair. Russian Army Life.
