The Art of Letter Writing.

The art of letter writing has not been
conquered any more by men than by wom-
en-. In fact, a glance over the literature OF
the world shows that the truest and best
masters Of letter writing have been women.
And / am inclined to believe this is true as
it ever has been. A woman writes a fal
more natural letter than does man. She
may require more space wherein to do it,
where man would employ terseness. But
what man ever yet begrudged woman an
extra sheet or that Inevitable postscript
which so often says more than her whole
letter.
A man alwayswrites letter by certain
formula. A woman ignores all formulas
and writes as she feels True, woman's
way may not always be the safest, but it is
the most delightful all the same. It's just
the difference between spontaneity and
study.-New York Telegram.

The Oil Rub,

A sea salt bath, followed by an 'soil rub, -
is an excellent daily habit fordelicate wom-
en- who need vitalizing. Sea salt may be
bought in three or five pound boxes at the
druggists, and a half cupful dissolved in
boiling water added to basin of luke
warm water is enough for sponge bath.
The best way to take it is to stand in the
bathtub, and after sponging ones self from
head to foot pour the remaining water
over the chest and shoulders To be en-
tirely satisfactory the oil must be applied
by another person. Cocoanut oil is cheap
est and best for the purpose, and it should
be rubbed into the skin till no trace re-
mains on the surface. 1t is most beneficial
to have the bath and oil rub just before go
ing to bed, and in any case the patient
should rest in reclining position for at
least half an hour after receiving the treat
ment.-New York World.

The directors of school district No.
Is decided some time ago that it was a
good time for them to purchase block
of land upon which to build anew
schoolhouse. Several blocks were Of
fered to the directors, and out of these
the choice lay between blocks 81 and
60, in Shively's Astoria. Block 81 was
the unanimous choice of the committee
appointed to look into the matter, with
the exception of J. H. D. Gray, who
filed with the directors a minority re-
port recommending that it would be
cheaper to purchase block 60 on ac-
count of the extra cost of grading
block 81 and the streets around it. Af-
ter giving his reasons and detailed
statement of the number of yards of
grading, etc., to be done, Mr.. Gray
gives the following summary: Cost OF
block 81, 10000; estimated cost to grade
block 12 feet, $4,000; estimated cost 20
grade streets, $S,546.76; total, $1S.146.76;
or, estimated cost to grade block feet
only, $15,S46.76; cost of block 60, $105OO;
estimeted cost to grade block, 500;
estimated cost to grade streets, 800;
credit by value of stone on site, $1500:
difference in favor Of block 60, $4,S46.76,
if block 81 is only graded off 6 feet; If
graded off IL feet as think any COM
petent engineer would recommend.
$7,646.76.
The directors held meeting on FRI
day, and after deliberation decided to
accept block 60. The price paid is
SO, 500, cash, and the conditions of the
sale are as follows:
First, that said school district shall
not sell or dispose of said real estate
for period of so years; second, that
it shall cause to be erected on said
premises a school house to cost not
less than $4,000 within five years from
date of sale; third, that it shall OK
pend upon said real estate in grading
and otherwise improving the same, not
less than s2.4OO.
In case of failure or neglect to COM
ply with the conditions named. the
real estate conveyed will revert to the
grantor, Mrs. Nancy Welch, from
whom the property was purchased.
The block is 300 feet square, and is
bounded by West Sixth. Berry. Alder,
and West Seventh streets. and lays
one block east and one block south Of
the block on which David Morgan re-
sides.
