It should be no longer necessary to warn the speaker to breathe exclusively through the nose when not actually using the voice. While speaking he must so completely control the breath that not a particle of it can escape without giving up its equivalent in sound. "Clergyman's sore throat" is the result of improper use or overstraining of the voice.

Our Neighbours: which might lead you to expect a gossiping book, or at best something like Annals of my Parish tout au contraire; it is sketches of family life, a romantic family, admirably drawn some characters perhaps a little overstrained, but in the convulsions of the overstraining giving evidence of great strength beg, buy, or borrow it, if you can, and if not, envy us who have it.

That in one and another way the cruel competition for the dollar, the new and exacting habits of business, the racing speed which the telegraph and railway have introduced into commercial life, the new value which great fortunes have come to possess as means towards social advancement, and the overeducation and overstraining of our young people, have brought about some great and growing evils, is what is now beginning to be distinctly felt.

The neglect of this most important principle usually results in overstraining the vocal cords and throat muscles. The cause of a tone's being too sharp is the dwelling too long on the resonance of the head cavities, where the tone should already have been mixed with palatal resonance.

No, Master Gridley said, he always wanted to have a hand in it; and, besides, such a little body as she was could not lift those great folios out of the lower shelves without overstraining herself; she might handle the musketry and the light artillery, but he must deal with the heavy guns himself. "As low down as the octavos, Susan Posey, you shall govern; below that, the Salic law."

The bulk of her musical education should be acquired in the vacation time, when she can give two hours a day without overstraining. The same general rules hold good of dancing, painting, the acquirements of foreign languages, a special course of reading, or any other work undertaken in addition to the regular school work.

Two of his poems are worth reading, one because its versification is well managed, and the other because its story is simple and naturally told. It is a relief after so many pages of overstraining at words, and it shows that Mr. Voldo can be really pleasant, if he will only be simple. Well, two out of fifty is above the average!

Here the whole population never succeeds, all summer long, in completing all their tasks in season; and not only are there no idle hands, but a vast quantity of property is ruined for the lack of hands, and a throng of people, children, old men, and women, will perish through overstraining their powers in work which is beyond their strength. How do the rich order their lives there?

The brain, as the ruling organ of the body, requires a healthy, rich development; and this can only be secured by regular exercise and training, fully using but not overstraining its powers. The usual accompaniments of intellectual study are the cause of this false prejudice.

In the government of Ireland, his administration had been equally promotive of his master's interest, and that of the subjects committed to his care. * Bush. vol. iv, p. 145. Bush. vol. v. p. 120, 247. Warwick, p. 115. * Nelson, vol. ii. p. 45. Rush. vol. iv. p. 124., Warwick, p. 115. The springs of authority he had enforced without overstraining them.
