Great singers are born, not made. Many singers have temporarily strained their voices by trying to do too much.

The method outlined is simple and promises success, but the most encouraging feature orHha scheme is that it should have occurred te the sleeping car companies that their coaches are not already perfect in construc tion and management. Perhaps it may now penetrate their minds that the same covering is not equally pleasant for their unfortunate patrons in the tropical nights of midsummer and iu the arctic nights of midwinter. At preseut the "sleeper" is provided only with clammy linen sheets and heavy double blankets. It would seem that in the ' prevailing fashion of woolen clothing the companies might think of furnishing a. pair of light, loosely woven blankets, one or both of which could be used as occasion required. Such achange, with a little pure air, would make a night in a sleeping car a less hor rible expsrien thaa lt i now. New York Times. , ...
