Habits.

Imagine Hercules as oarsman in 8
rotten boat; what can he do there but
by the very force Of his stroke expe-
dite the ruin of his craft? Take care,
then, of the timbers of your boat, and
avoid al practices likely to introduce
either wet or dry rot among them.
And this is not to be accomplished by
desultory or intermittent efforts of the
will, but by the formation OF habits.
The will, no doubt, has sometimes to
put forth its strength in order to
strangle or crush the special tempta-
ton. But the formation of right hab-
its is essential to your permanent Sc
curity. They diminish your chance Of
falling when assailed, and they aug
ment your chance of recovery when
oVerthrown.-John TyndalI.

To Hear Yourself as Others Hear You.
An English voice specialist has in
vented a machine which enables a
singer to hear his own voice, just as it
sounds to- his audience. The demand
for such a contriYance has been so
great that countless adaptations of the
photograph and of the telephone have
been tried out in the endeaYor to
obtain correct reproduction of the
voice of a speaker or singer, so that he
can criticize his own delivery, and
modify his tone to obtain the best re-
suits. All these devices lacked in
some essential feature, but the new
machine called the "critophone," is
claimed by the inventor to overcome
objections urged against other models.
