Letter Writing.

Letter writingis Of great antiquity
The sending OF letters by post was
originally established 10y the Roman
emperors for safe aud speedy trans
mission of public documents and in
modern Europe by Louis NJ. o.
France for the same purpose. The
first approach to a regular postal sys
tenn in England was in the time 0l
Charles l. Stamps for letters were
first temporarily used in France II
the time of Louis XIV, and in diff
ferent devices were afterward used II
Spain and Sweden. In the year lS4C
the postal reform was first put in op
Grafton in England, and was first useC
in the United States in 1917.

times who went into battle against Christ.
He hated Christ and he went into batE 0
fighting Christ but in the battle he got
wounded, he was struck by the arrow ana
fell, and as he lay with his facs up to the
sun and the life blood was oozing away, ne
put his hand to his heart and took handful
of blood from the wound and held 1t up %
the sun and cried out, "Oa, jesus Thou hast
conquered"
And if today, my nearer, struck through
by the arrow Of Gods gracious Spirit, you
realize the truth of what have been saying,
you would surrender yourself to the Lord

woMEN's CLUBS IN THE wEsr.

+ So deep and all.a5sor5Ing is the h1ld

manifestation of an essential element in
the feminine nature, has becom3 merely
IN incidental necessity. Wonln's serious

w. G. r. t., the power OF which lies in
the West, and its very nerve centre III
the city OF Chicago. In almost every in.
stance Temperance, as a matter Of morals,
became a question OF politics. This did
not deter women a whit. Now that they
arc in it, they take to politics like ducks
to water. The w. G. L. L. taught wo.
men the value of organization and how
to organize. Then the purpose of the
organization broadened into a stul of
literature, economies and the science Of
government. In the meantime, while
gaining knowledge, they were also ac.

HAIR ORES ING.

The variety offered in the matter OF
hair dressing is very great. There was
"a time when fashion settled the matter,
but nov the style of the face is stu1iei
iand the hair put up accordingly. Ore
thing is certain, false hair is bit very
linfrequently worn. Those women who
have but little find q way of continuing
to make the most Of it, aud those who
have an abundance choose snch forms as
will show it of. Curly bands are still
very generally worn, and it is to be hope1
that they will remain in favor, for thsy
arc far more becoming to every face than
the locks that are smoothed back in

pital records where Mr.. QUAINT was treated
and from the doctors who hal the case in

Let 1t be remembered that all this hospital
treatment was two and three years ago,
while his cure, by the use of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. has been effected
since last September, 1891. SO it is beyond
a doubt evident that his recovery is wholly
due to the Use Of these famous pills which

was recalled. The cornet solo by Mr.
Deuritt, accompanied by Mrs Hattie

The piano and violin solo by Mr. and

request Miss Dunster sang a solo, and be-
ing recalled, sang Three Old Maids of
Lee" She was heartily applauded. Pro-
lessor Dunster followed ialso by request)
with piano solo, which proved mas

AS VIEWED ABROAD.
BERLIN, March 25.-The discussion in
the American Congress of the silver
question has attracted much attention in
Germany. The newspapers nearly ali
agree in the belief that free silver VIII be
bad thing for the United States. The
Associated Press correspondent inter-
viewed DIR. Koch, President of the Impe-
rial Bank, the greatest financial institu-
ton OF Germany; DIR. Siemens, director
of the Deutsche Bank, the largest private
banking corporation in Berlin, having
relations with America, and other prom
lnent bankers, with reference TO the
effect of the proposed silver legislation
IN America. DR.. Koch said that I'M
doubtedly both Germany and England
would be willing to take part in an in
ternatoDal monetary conference, but felt
positive that neither country would con-
sent to bimetallic basis, although
Germany would doubtless agree to
some increase in the amount OF silver
used. Except a few agrarians. nobody in
Germany dreamed OF the decentralization
OF silver. Austria, which was changing
from paper to gold, would not take up
silver, and England also knew when she
was well Off. If America adopted free
silver, nobody there would be benefited.
The farmers would receive more for their
crops, but silver dollars would have less
purchasing value, and in the end they
would be worse OF. A change of cur
rency is always bad, but change to an
inferior currency would inflict especially
heavy losses on the country making il.
The continuous export of gold from
America was surprise to Dr.. Koch. He
said it was probably due to desire on
the part of foreign holders to realize on
the present high prices for American
securities. DR.. Siemens and other bank
ers hold similar views with DR.. Koch.
