About Letter-Writing.

As q rule, every letter written, unless
insulting in its character, requires an
answer. To neglect to answer letter,
when written to, is as uncivil as to neg
lect to reply when spoken to.
In the reply, first acknowledge tho
receipt of the letter, mentioning its
date, and afterward consider all tho
points requiring attention.
II the letter is to be very brief, COM
mence sufficiently far from the top of
the page to give nearly an equal amount
of blank paper at the bottom of the
sheet when the letter is ended.
Should the matter in the letter con-
tinue beyond the first page, it is well to
commence letter above the middle Of
the sheet, extending as far as necessary
on the other page.
1t is thought impolte to use half
sheet of paper in formal letters. As a
matter of economy and convenience for
business purposes, however, it is GUS
tomary to have the card of the business
man printed at the top Of the sheet, and
a single leaf is used.
In writing letter, the answer to
which Is of more benefit to yourself than
the person to whom you write, inclose
a postage-stamp for the reply.
Letters should be as free from eras-
ures, interlineations, blots and post
scripts as possible. II is decidedly bet
ter to copy the letters than to have these
appear.
A letter of introduction or recon-
mendation should never be scaled, as
the bearer to whom it is given ought to
know tho contents. ts.-Efchange

A Very Bashful Husband.

The following incident in the early
married life of q lawyer of q village in
New York State, who is as well known
for excessive bashfulness as he is for
eccentricity and good nature, is told in
the Boston Herald: So bashful was he
that, after bringing his ladylike and ac-
complished bride from the northern
part of the country, instead of intro
ducing her TO his acquaintance, after
the manner of proud young husbands
of the ordinary stamp, he actually
almost hid himself and her from his
most intimate friends. To get him to
go to church even was q task that his
wife, mother and sisters found so
extremely difficult that they could
only succeed by declaring that he
was ashamed of his bride. On
one occasion lecture was to be
given which his wife particular
ly desired to attend. Our friend,
in response to her request for escort,
told his wife that he knew she wouldn't
like the lecture, and for his part he
should enjoy staying at home with her
much better. She persisted and he ex-
hausted every argument to prove that
she would not find the lecture enjoyable.
At last the true reasonof her husbands
disinclination to go out flashed over the
wife's mind, and she said: "Well, my
dear, you can never convince me that j
don know but we had better stay at
home; if you should be seen out with
me too much at night it might create a
scandal" They went TO the lecture.

The Small Boy on Errands.

Tho small boy is going on an errand.
How do you know that the small boy
is going on an errandP
Because the small boy is in such q
hurry.
How can you tell that the small boy
is in q hurryp
can tell by the thoroughness with
which he examines everything about

Exceedingly; you sec that he has to

completed his survey.
But what is the small boy doing nowp
In order TO get to his destination the
quicker has jumped upon the passing
wagon.
But the wagon is going in the direc-
ton from which he came.
1t makes no difference. All roads
lead TO Rome you know, and all direc-
tons are the same to the small boy.
The only directions he is careless of are
those which were given him when he
started on his errand.
What is the small boy doing nowP
The small boy is playing marbles with
another small boy.
Then he has forgotten his errandp
Oh, no; he is only exercising his
memory. He is trying to see how long
he can remember his errand amidst dis
tracing circumstances.

tinationp

in which he is now crawling.

Literary Piracy in Japan.

Literary piracy would appear TO be
one of the institutions of the West to
which young Japan has taken rather
kindly. According to the Japan Gdz0tte,
the practice of pirating patents, stamps
and labels, in sorder to palm of spu-
rious limitations for the genuine article,
has been carried on for years, and the
evil Is extending in every direction. Re-
Gently a native company, called the
"Tokio Bookselling Company" was
established in the capital, and its chief
business appears to be the pirating Of
English and American school-books
Todhunter's well-known Elementary
Algebra, Euclid and other mathemat-
ical books have already been repro
duced, as well as several American
books, Mills Liberty" and other vol
umes. These are published as much
like the originals in size, covers, etc.,
as possible. The company affixes its
imprint to the title pages, but offers no
explanation as TO the publication in
Japan, and indeed they have no hesita-
ton in reprinting (probably through
ignorance) the foreign publishers no.
tices, such as Entered according TO the
Act of Congress in the year." etc., etc.
An examination of the reprint of Tod
hunters Algebra shows letters upside
down, wrong-font letters, letters mis-
placed, and words improperly spelt,
testifying to the slovenly way in which
the books have been printed. There is
said to be scarcely page in the book
which does not contain one or more er-
rors in photography, and the mathe-
matical formule, which always require
such care at the printers hands, must
be in bad state when ordinary words
are so neglected. The direct damage
to foreign authors, patentees and manu-
facturers by these petty thefts can not
be very great; the real injury is to the
japanese people themselves. Among
well-known English labels, that of Bass
e. Co., h9S for many years been the
subject OF innumerable dcpredations.
The striking red diamond on white
ground lends itself easily to imitation,
while to people who can not read
English letters at all, any strange
marks below the diamond are sufficient
to represent the names of the eminent
brewers. Large quantities of some de.
coction brewed in Toxic are thus passed
off in the interior as Burton ale. A
patent law is wanted in Japan, not so
much for the protection of foreign in
ventors as for the protection of the
pockets and stomachs of the Japanese
themselves. es.-Nature.

Legend Of Silver Spring.

Silver Spring is said to be the largest
spring in the world. 1t is the source of
the Ocklawaha River, which is sixty
feet wide at the start, ten feet deep and
with current flowing two miles an
hour. All this vast quantity of water
comes from the spring, whose only in
lets are at the bottom. It is about two
acres in size and its mysterious depths
have never been explored. There is an
Indian legend about Silver Spring, of
course. Wenona, the beauty of tho
tribe that inhabited the neighborhood,
won the love of Chullootah, hostile
chief. Her wrathful father slew tho
lover and then Wcnona drowned her.

In the early days of Michigan,
when one dealer was the source OF
supply for large territory, capi-
talist from the east suddenly bought
up all the tobacco and whisky to be
got hold of in the State. There was
no railroad communication it was
winter, and there was no navigation,
and everything promised big profit
on the speculation. Prices began to
creep up, and settlers to inquire and
protest, and the capitalist was rubbing
his hands and holding on, when some
thing happened. He was on his way
to church one Sunday, when he was
seized by a band of tough looking
pioneers and carried to the river,
where hole already had been cut in
the ice. "What is the meaning of
thisi :" he finally asked. at means
old prices fur whisky and terbackerp
replied the spokesman. "How ?"
They proceeded to enlighten him.
Two of the band gave him a duck in
to the water, and he was plunged in
and hauled out three times before he
got his breath and said: "Gentlemen,
tobacco has taken great dropw
"Give him some nlore," said the lead
er, and into the freezing cold water
he went again. When they hauled
him out, blue with cold and teeth
chattering, he observed: "And whis-
ky is ten cents a gallon less than the
old price. wall Street News.
