MRS. CLEvELANO'S NOTES,

Heavy Correspondence.

II is rule rarely, il ever. broken in
any of the departments and bureaus OF
the Government at Washington as well
as in the Executive Mansion that all
letters received which do not in them
selves violate the rule of courtesy,
shall be answered in some manner,
even if only 10 acknowledge the fact
that they were received.
Mrs. Cleveland, on whom no official
obligations rest, voluntarily follows
this rule of replying to all the letters
she receives, so far as is possible. Shs
is very prompt. too, in writing her an
swers 10 letters whenever practicable,
and has remarkable facility in express
ing herself in few words. while
seeming to say all that is necessary.
Her handwriting, while as stylish in
appearance as that of the ultra
fashionable quill-pen-affecting scrawl-
ers. is still (unlike that of tho
ladies of that class) perfectly
legible. She does not lay herself open
to the charge bright man recently
preferred against the fashionable
women whose writing no one can
easily read, if at all, to-wit: that mot
knowing how to spell. they purposely
write so that their failures in orthogra-
ply can not be readily detected"
A gentleman who was takenthrough

high with letters she had received, and
said to her:

Green street. and in ore Of the curious
old shops there found large crystal
seal with these armorial devices on
the three faces. The old shop-keeper
explained the devices. which were the
arms of one Of the Oldest. and mosl
celebrated families in Great Britain.
On one face was a thistle and harp,
which he said indicated that In an
early day two Irish and Scotch families
had come together. There were
numerous Latin Inscriptions and l
can't tell what not engraved all over
the three faces Of that crystal. In
fact all the blue blood Of Great Britain
must have been in this family, if that
stone told the truth. The story was
good one, and l believed it. The
crystal also reminded me OF my own
charm, and l proposed to trade. The
next day hunted up the topaz. went
back to the shop and as my stone was
worth dozen Of the others I had no
difficulty in striking a trade But !
had no idea that some Of my oil
friends from home would be the first to
pick up the seal l had tried to lose in

APPLYING MANURE.
Winter the Best Season In Which to d.
This Important Work.

Winter the Best Season In Which to d<
This Important Work.
The proper time to apply manure il
in the late fall or winter Our grand.
fathers used to think there was nc
time to spread manure but in the
spring. They were right then. but il
wo think so now. we are wrong. Whyl
Things have changed since then. They
had more snow in winter and
more rain in summer, both Of which
have n great effect upon the soil. Then
the winter was n very busy time OF
the year; besides their chores, they
had husking and thrcshing to do,
which was done with the old-fash-
ioned fail. There was wood to chop
and countless other things to do by
hand, which arc now done by ma.
ohincry.
Very many objections will be raised
to winter application. Some say ma.
nure spread in the fall loses great
part Of its strength. How can itP It

would evaporate does not amount

the manure will wash off in the spring.

thawing at the same time. and II takes
up the plant food as fast rs it comes

Facts CONCERNING Cabinet Woods.

A handler of veneers thinks that birch
is not appreciated at its real merit. For
veneers he considers birch nearly, and he
can almost say quite, as good as cherry.
Birch is coming to be more highly APP
preciated than it was, and may not be
surprised to see a boom in it before long.
When birch becomes fashionable every
body will want it.
In the foreign wood trade prima vera,
the fashionable light mahogany, is very
scarce all over the country. The princi-
pal foreign wood house in Chicago has a
stock of only 5000 feet on hand, and out
of this New York orders are being sup
piled with the prospect that shortly not a
plank will be left in the sheds. 1t is a
curious fact that mahogany is being
shipped from the depository in Chi,
cago to New York right along, when
the same stock was brought from the
same seaboard city. A carload of ma,
hogany was lately shipped from that city
to Germany.-Boston Budget.

How Forest : :royed.

\ good authoi..y on our American
forests Writes that he has seen over ST.
600, 900 worth of lumber burned by the
careless fire of a gang of railroad work
men. Such fires are constantly raging
somewhere, and the enormous loss can
hardly be estimated. lie urges that only
by making such c~arelessness criminal
can there be put an end to it. What we
should learn is to preserve the forests we
have by proper legislation, by educating
and appointing foresters of intelligence
to care for them; by publishing informa-
ton on the subject, such as farmers and
timbermen can easily understand and
