GENERAL HINTS.

Write proper names very plainly.
Write on only one side of the sheet.
Be brief in statement and sparing in COM
ment.
Write with ink-not with pencil, when it
can be avoided.
The most convenient sized page (manu-
script for compositors' use is what is
known as ''commercial note"
When you have nothing to say on any
subject, say nothing. Don't string words
together for the purpose of filing pages OF
manuscript.
''Short items and lots of them, was the
homely rule given by country editor to a
correspondent, once upon time; and it is
capital one.
Avoid 'puffs" for this one and that, and
save the editor the trouble of ''cutting
them out" of your letter. A puff that he
doesn't write himself is an abominstion to
the editor.
Don't attempt 'tfne writing" and don;
Gf you have any regard for other peoples
feelings) say ''eve" for evening, "scholar'
for pupil, ''pants" for pantaloons, gents
for gentlemen, or Sabbath" for Sunday.
You can keep the authorship as nearly s
secret from the public as you please; indeed
nobody need know you write for the news
papers, unless you choose to let them know
yourself. The editor won't tell-rely upon
that.
Don't be Influenced too much by the ad
vice (Which will be freely offered-depend
upon thatD of people who don't know any
more about it than you do, as to what yor
shall put in your letters. Be sure you arr
right-then go ahead.
Always calculate upon your letter reach
ing the editor at least the day before hiI
paper goes to press; then if anything i'm
portant occurs, and you can send it in tim'
for that weeks issue, send it as a post
script or addendum. Many good lettel
has been lost to the world because it reach
ed the editor too late to have it put in type
Remember that it is the privilege of thu
editor to omit any portion of your letter hi
may not care to print-that whoever writel
what appears, he is responsible for it, an'
has the right to say what may and Whs
may not go into his columns. His view o
propriety or e1pediency is from a stand
point altogether different from yours, anC
however he may misjudge he will be prett.
likely to assert his prerogative.

IMPORTANT DECIsIoN-BUILDING AND
LOAN AssoCATIoNs.-The Superior
Court of Cleveland recently decided
Building and Loan Associations un-
constitutional. The case was appeal
ed to the Supreme Court, and a de.
cision was rendered affirming the le.
gality of the institutions, but decid-
ing that they cannot charge interest
on the premiums paid for prece-
dence in getting loans, or fines fol
non payment of interest, or extor
tionate fnesfor non-payment OF dues
That one reasonable fine may be as
sessed for each failure to pay one in
stallment of dues, and that in fore
closure of mortgage, given to secure
payment of dues, interest, premium
and fines, it is error to calculate II
the Judgment for fines and or Other
dues to accumulate beyond the time
of rendering the Judgment.

Nh. Ed Dimes came over from
Greenfield Saturday night on the
freight train. He didn't have time
to wait for the passenger train. The
fact is, the Highland County Sheriff
was around looking for two or three
more jurors to listen to the evidence
in the Dunn case, and as the '-sit
gave promise of being one of some
permanency, when the Sheriff came
in Dimes front door, he vanished
through the rear entrance, and didn't

Circulars vs.. NEWSPAPER ADvERT1s-
Ne-An experienced business man,
who knows what he is talking about,
says:
ga paper is always opened and
read, while four out of five circulars
are destroyed unopened"
ga retailer should advertise in
every legitimate way Ifby circulars,
they should contain but very few
lines, and ought to have something
about them to attract the reader.
But the retailer should invest ninety
nine dollars in the columns of his
local paper, to every one that he ex-
pends for circulars, hand-bills, or
cards. His name should be constant
ly before the public" +"
THE OBJECTION TO CIRCULARS
is that they are sent in open envel-
opes, and the receiver knows it to be
a circular before he opens it, and
many times they are thrown into the
waste basket unopened. To over
come this, or rather to get the infor-
nation before the trade, there IS no
thing so Ual,sa6le as a reading mat
ter notice in the newspaper. During
the year I gave to enquiring about
advertising among my customers,
and to watching for evidence of their
having read circulars, etc, I found
that marked article in the newspa-
per was never passed over.
"The proper way, and the best, is
to have an appreciative notice writ
ten of the house, embodying the
facts you would naturally have put
in q circular, only have It dressed. ND.
as a local There is nothing equal to
this in value.

Paris Modes

A PARIS correspondent writes to the
Philadelphia Telegrapb: THE styles this
year, save in the matter of cloaks, present
no striking points of difference from those
of the past season. Brocaded and mate
lasse fabrics are very generally used. The
latter comes not only in solid colors, as
last year, but in two tints, such as laven-
der and black, white and black, etc. II is
to lie seen in wooden materials ms well as
in silk. \ very elegant dress which ! saw
at the Maison Gagelin was composed of
slate-colored and lavender mate,asse and
slate-colored silk. The front of the skirt
was covered with bias folds of the mate
lasse, put in to simulate three scarfs, each
edged at the lower side with deep sewing
silk fringe. The lower part of the skirt
was of silk, covered with plisse flounces;
this plisse ran up each side of a draped
matelasse overskirt behind, which opened
to the waist, so as to give passage to a
train of the slate-colored silk. The corsage
was of cuirass form of the matelasse, the
sleeves almost tight and of silk, sashed at
the elbow with full pufis of the matelasse
held down by the bands of the silk, very
much after the style of the sleeves worn in
the days of Henry ". Sleeves are TO be
worn much narrower, in fact almost tight.
Another dress was white and black
hAatNSltiHoS dLlN VI DltIh Sllh. nG llOuL VI
the skirt was composed of broad and bias
bands of the two materials, put on alter
nately, and finished at either side of the
skirt by broad band of black silk dis
posed in three folds this band was con-
dnued the whole length of the skirt The
cuirass corsage was cut open behind, so
as to give space TO q plated, fan-like deco
ration that matched the side bands. The
train was in black silk, with drapery of
the matelasse falling over it. A very
effective travelling costume of the same
kind was made of dark-brown woolan mat
elasse and CLOTH the bands on the front
OF the skirt, as well as til tightftting
jacket, were edged with braid full finger
length in width. Cloaks are to be worn
either very long or very short They are
either halfloose sacques, falling below ths
knee, or else iaunty little half-ftting
jackets, very short behind and falling in
long pointed ends in front Velvet and
dark brown or black cloth are the mate
rials chiefly used, the light, fanciful drabs
and grays and fawns, once so much in
vogue for outdoor garments, being ap-
parently discarded Cashmere has lost
its vogue, and is replaced by a host of
heavier and more fanciful woolen mate
rials, such as thin mixed cloths and plaids
in neutral tints. Rich dark brown and
slate color will be among the fashionable
tints for outdoor wear and demi-toilet."

THERE are more bay windows in San

A GENTLEMAN living up the bay says
that negro man with his wife and four
children were forced to take to tree to
save themselves during the late storm.
The tree swayed to and fro with the vio-
lence of the wind and threatened to fall
with its heavy burden. The old couple
concluded that some one must be sacri-
feed to save the rest. After a consulta-
ton the old woman said she was not pre-
pared to die and urged the old man to
drop himself into eternity. But he, too,
wasn't ready, and the matter was compro-
mized by launching the two youngest
children into the surging waters. A few
hours after they were rescued, and the
old negro told the story himself to those
who saved him.-GdIceston (TeT.) Meas.
