VOICE AND MANNER.

External gifts of voice and man. ner, apart from more solid acquire ments, may deceive and dazzle the unwary and make a slender stock of ideas go long way with an un- educated or half-educated auditory. But such superficial qualities in the long run lose their effect, even on uncritical ears, and to the better in- structed may even become offensive as a kind of tacit insult to their iudgment.-John Caird.

SANE DRIVERS DEsPiSE MANlAcs

There is no criticism of the sane automobilist-the majority, in fact, of those who make delightful use of this fine modern luxury. The wild recklessness of the dangerous automobi1ist is equally despised by other automobilists and by the rest of the public. The fact is shown by the formation and activity of such organizations as the Safe Roads Automobile association and the Au- tomohile Owners association.

LONG LIFE.

Dr. Wiley, the pure food man, says that in the last half century the average length of human life has advanced from thirty-three to nearly forty years, and he predicts that within 200 years it will have risen to fifty. The record is grati- flying; the prospect is most cheering, but Dr. Wiley with the customary conservatism has minimized the ex- pectations of improvment that he must naturally entertain.
