Early Envelopes,

He would be thought an eccentric
person who should at this day fold
and seal letter so as to leave q
blank outside, and thereon write the
address, discarding the envelope. But
the time is easily within living recol-
lection when one Of the things which
went to the making of an accomplish
ed lady or gentleman was knowing
how to fold letter neatly in oblong
shape, the vacant space coming out
side for the direction, and the edge be-
ing secured with sealing wax, or often
er with waters. 1t is difficult to un-
derstand why envelopes came into
common use at so late day, for they
were devised and in some instances
made use OF at a very early period.
Their first appearance seems to have
been in France, where letters were en-
closed in envelopes as long ago as the
reign OF Louis XIV. in the last half of
the seventeenth century. Specimens
dating as far back ms 1858 have been
preserved to this day; and a letter
written, sealed and addressed by the
most Christian King himself to his
natural son, the Count of Soulouse,
in April, 17O6, was enclosed in an en-
velope, and is still in existence.
Other envelopes possessing historical
value are those which contain letters
written by Madame de Pompadour in
1760, by Frederick the Great 1766,
and by Sir James Ogilvie to the Brit.
ish Secretary OF State in 1896.

purple and swollen, but all to no pur.

Turning short curve in the road,
she saw another large tree lying di.
rectly across her path. Then she
knew her fate. She had often heard
OF frightened horses running headlonc
into stone walls, and she knew her
horse would not stop till he had
hurled himself, against that fallen
monarch of the mountain.
She closed her eyes in terror. Then
she felt a sudden stacking OF her horses
speed and opened her eyes to find
Tom Neville holding the bit in an iron
grasp, while the horse still struggling
forward, trampled under foot the
manly limbs. But Tom never let 60

For a moment Violet hesitated; and
then, remounting her still trembling

Tom Neville sank back senseless, for
both his legs were broken.
When Tom returned to conscious.
ness he found himself in his own roo ON,
in bed, with both legs confined in

eyes met.

Amerlea,s Natiyes peserlbed.

This description Of the natives as they
appeared to the English colonists in
Maryland was written in 1868:
They are very proper tall men Of per
son; swarthy by nature, but much more
by art; painting themselves with colours
in oyle, like a darke red, which they doe
to keep the gnatts off. As for their faces
they have other colours at times, as blew
from the nose upward and red down
ward; somewhat contrariwise, in great
varietie and in very gastly manner.
They have no boards till they come to
be very old, and therefore draw from
each side Of their mouthes lines to their
cares to represent a beard. Their ap-
parell generally is deere slsyns and some
furre, which they wear like loose man
tells; and yet under this, about their
middle, all women and men, at mans
estayte, were rounde aprons of skyns,
which keeps them decently covered, so
that, without any offonse to chast eyes,
we may converse with them.
All the rest of their bodies are naked,
and at times some of the youngest sort
of both men aud women have Just moth
ing to cover them. The natural wit of
this nation is very quick and win con-
ceive a thing very readily. They excel
in smell and taste and have far sharper
sight than we. If these people were
once Christians (as by some signs we
have reason to think nothing hinders it
but want of language), it would be a
right virtuous and renowned nation.

In the old range cattle boom days,
when money from foreign lands was
pouring into the west like water, there
were a good many sharp tricks prac-
ticed in delivering cattle. 1t is recalled
that the Marquis de Mores, who tried to
cut such a conspicuous figure as a revo-
lutionizer Of the American meat trade,
and who later became notorious as a
duelist, was badly sold While in Da-
kota he bought 10000 head of cattle
from two Englishmen. They were first
class cattle and cost forty dollars a head.
When these two Britons delivered the
COWS they worked one of the neatest
''slSin" games that was ever heard Of
Medora, you know, sits in a valley, with
table lands on each side.
Well, the Englishmen ran 5000 head
of cattle inon the marquis and collected
for 10000 The way they did it was by
running the same 1000 twice around the
hill. De Mores never "tumbled" until
he had paid his 100000 and the merry
cockneys were bound for South Amer
lea. 1t was a clear steal of S200,000 but
the marquis didn't make much bones
about it. He had plenty Of money and
