SOME ADVICE ABOUT READING.
when You Are Getting, Why Not Get
the Best

Let young men and women let othei
books alone, say, for five years, and
feed on Shakespeare, Milton and the
Bible--not nibble the choice parts
but thoroughly chew and digest. as
they read. and the highest mental
force and equipment will be the re-
suit.
By the way, it is not necessary even
to go out of Georgia to point the
moral of this little sketch.
Herschel V. Johnson was a great
thinker and great man. He said
Il know nothing of fiction"
But he knew much of Shakespeare,
Milton and the Bible!
Benjamin n Hill was a great think
err and great man.
He never read but one novel in his
life, and was not conscious of deriv-
ing any benefit from that mean
mental growth
But he knew his Shakespeare, his
Milton and his Bible. Why multiply
illustrations. Herschel V. Johnson's
state papers are models of the best
English. Benjamin Hill played upon

HOW TO CONTROL A VOICE.
British Officer Says Nature Is Moi
the Sole Regulator.

To a recent issue of the British
Medical Journal Major r. f. Il. Austin
of Imtarfa, Malta, contributed a paper
on commonly overlooked factors in
vocal mechanism, in which he asserts
that the universal idea that all natur.
ally possess either good, bad or indif
fctent voices Is wrong and contends
that nature is directly responsible for
one and only one of these conditions
and that the others must be attri
buted to mans unconscious departure
from natures laws.
II will be news to many that by
far the greater number do not possess
full control Of the adductor muscles OF
the cords and are therefore unable tc
place and keep the cords in the most
appropriate position quickly. The
author asserts that it is surprising
what number Of professional voice
users, as well as amateurs, fail in this
respect. According to his thinking,
the majority of voices are lost not
from overwork but as result Of I'm
proper emission.
Major Austin contends that in or.
der to obtain quickly the thorough
control OF any muscles or set Of mus
cles they should be developed by brisk
movements, which fully contract then
in the case of the adductor muscles
of the cords this can only be done by
using the voice in most inartistic
although physiological manner. That
is to say. words should be sung
or spoken quickly in acute pene-
trating tones "pat-a-wat-quack' be
given as an excellent phrase for
the purpose) The voice should be
extended up and down, note BY
note, in this manner until the limits
OF the compass are reached. Classl,
fication into oprano, baritone. etc.
should not be attempted before this
has been done.

under its forestry planting operations
for the season. Fifty thousand trees
are to be planted in the Pixies peak

supply crossties for the roads.
In cooperation with officials Of
New Hampshire. agents of the bureau
of forestry have commenced to make
maps of the southern part of that
state. which will show the timber
land, the agricultural land and the
barren areas suitable for tree-planl.
ing. 1t is proposed to map 1000 acres
this summer. Forest work in the
state will be done chiefly with the
view of advising farmers and owners
of second-growth forest as to the best
management for the production OF
pulpwood, boxboards, firewood, etc
Another object is to complete for.
