ennth Of q fnll.sizad hnslness letter

length of full-sized business letter
sheet is about ten inches. The width
is about eight inches.
.. Quality.-While paper is as cheap
as it is now, it is poor policyto buy poor
paper, and for the sake of economy,
buy the quarter, half, or whole ream.
Thick heavy paper is not always the
best for letter writing: 1t should have
a smooth surface, and be fine and Aex-
ible.
5. Color. White paper, or that
which is very lightly tinged with blue,
should be used for business letters.
No one but a fop or dandy will use any
other color. "A solid merchant or
business man would probably reject
an application for a situation. even if
he designed to answer it at all, were
it written ON scented OF tinted paper.

the letter through the mail, only the
best quality of envelope should be Us

should he a little over one half its
length: say about three inches by five

8. SHAPE.-The envelope should he
az oblong, and the corners, right an

4. CoLoR.--No fancy-colored enye-
lopes are suitable for business purpos-
es. The color of the business enyel-
ope should be pure white, or bun.
INK.-No matter how good the paper,
pen, and envelope be, if the writer las
poor ink, he will be sure to spoil his
letter. Black ink, free from sediment,
is generally to be preferred.

EcIanm Communion Cure.

The greatest lung medicine ever
discovered. Overwhelming testimony
accompanies every bottle, proving it
to be the greatest medicine ever Of
ferred to the public. As an expec-
torant it has no equal. Eclegm Con-
sumption Cure invariably cures
coughs, colds, Group, hoarseness, and
is indispensable to orators and vocal
lists, because it strengthens the lungs
and imparts to the voice fullness and
clearness of tone that cannot be at
tanned otherwise. The Eclegm is
purely vegetable, and is natures best
assistant in curing throat troubles.
Price so cents.
