HABIT'S CHAIN. Certain Habits Unconsciously Formed and Hard to Break. An ingenious philosopher estimate that the amount of will power necessary to br- ak a life-long h.ib.t would, if It could 'be transformed, lift a w Ight eif many tons. It semietinies requires a higher degree of heroism to break the chains of a pemleious habit than to lead a forlorn heipe In a blenidy battle. A lady writes from an Indiana town: "From my earliest childhood I was a lover of coffee. Before 1 was out of my teens I was a miserable dyspeptic, suffering terribly at times with my stomach.
