: A Century Aae,

One hundred years ago the British
,fleet on Lake Ontario, having partially
succeeded. in the expedition against
Oswego, set sail for Sackett's Harbor.
in command Of Sir James Lucas HYeo.
The purpose of the British was to
establish q strict blockade Of Sack
ett's Harbor, where Commodore
Chauncey was fitting out new Amer
lean squadron. The appearance Of
the British annoyed the Americans,
for their new vessels were Just ready
for their guns and cables, which could
not be brought overland. and the ar-
rival Of which by water was now
seemingly blockaded. In this emer-
gency the Americans. conceived and
successfully carried out . plan for
transporting the great cable for the
flagship Niagara overland. on the
backs OF men. X "A few weeks later the
British ships raised the blockade, and
disappeared down the lake. <::

rich vowel sounds, but the Engisn
speak the same language and nasal
speech is much rarer with them, PROB
ably because they give the vowels .
deeper value than Americans do. But
this habit Of using chiefly the muscles
in the back Of the throat for speaking
makes for nasal tones and overstra1ns
those muscles SO that hoarseness ana
colds result. w. r..t 2G.f2H
"You speak with your breath instead
OF on It, that Is, you use your breath
to help to enunciate words instead OF
letting the words float out on the
breath. -
Every one who has studied singing
with q reputable teacher knows that
the placing Of the voice and its very
quality, almost. depend upon correct
breathing. But the great majority OF
Just average people go about speaking
nesally or otherwise unpleasantly ana
attributing the fact, II indeed they pay
any attention to It at all, upon the
way God made them. But It IL really
due to the way they made themselves

70 Destroy Anti.

The warm, damp days always bring
ants. The only way to get rid OF
these insects is to destroy their nests.
But it is often dincult to locate them.
A good plan is to place little mounds
of coarse ground sugar around. The
ants will each take up grain and
make their nest with It, so should be
watched. When the nest is found,
drench it with kerosene or strong
solution OF carbolic acid. Ants dis
like the smell Of camphor. This scat.
tered around will keep them away.
but as they are usually around food,
camphor is scarcely practical, because
Of its strong odor, which the foods
may absorb. In such case try sprink-
ling with red pepper. q
