WASHINGTON IRVING TO POE.

A Letter Full of Genial Criticism and
Friendly Counsel.
Poe had through life the habit Of
sending his better tales and poems to
distinguished literary men and solicit
ing thereby their attention, writes Pro-
fessor George E. Woodberry in The
Century in presenting some of Poe's un-
published correspondence relating to his
residence in Philadelphia.
He kept the replies and was thus en-
abled to append to Hirsts biography Of
him in the Philadelphia Saturday Mu-
scum long list Of encomiums in addi
tfon to such as had been publicly made.
The following letter from Washington
Irving was written in acknowledgment
of William Wilson" which had fol-
lowed the House of Usher" as a
means of introduction, and the sub
stance of it, much altered and some
what garbled, appeared in the list re-
ferred to and affords striking instance
of how Poe dealt with such correspond
ence:
NEwBuRo, Nov. O. 1880.
DEAR SIR-The magazine you were SO kind
as to send me, being directed to New York,
instead of Tarrytown, did not reach me for
some time. This, together with an unfortu-
nato habit Of procrastinaton, must plead my
apology for the tardiness Of my reply. have
read your little tale Of civilian Wilson" with
much pleasure. 1t is managed in a highly pic
turesque style, and the singular and mystic
rious interest is well sustained throughout. l
repeat what have said in regard to previous
production, which you did me the favor to
send me- that cannot but think a series of
articles Of like style and merit would be ex
tremely well received by the public.
I could add for your private ear that think
the last tale much the best in regard to style
1t is simpler. In your first you have been too
anxious to present your picture wildly to the
eye, or too distrustful Of your effect, and have
laid on too much coloring. It Is erring on the
best side-the side Of luxuriance. That tale
might be improved by relieving the style from
some Of tho epithets There is no danger Of
destroying its graphic effect which is power
full. With best wishes for your success, am,
my dear sir, yours respectfully,
WASHINGTON IRVING.

CARELESS ABOUT THE TEETH.
The Great Majority Arc Negligent In TIL
Important Matter.

The Great Majority Arc Negligent In This
Important Matter.
Much has been and will be written
on the care Of the teeth because SO many
persons do not appreciate these valuable
orgaus of mastication. If teeth are we'll
cared for and regularly inspected by the
dentist, decay will hardly have an op-
portunity to do great harm before it is
stopped Decay often has its beginning
in bits of food sticking between the
teeth and forming the starting point of
a diseased tooth.
The toothpick should be used regular
ly after each meal and after eating. It
need not necessarily be employed during
a meal or be carried like cigar in the
mouth after eating, but in the privacy
Of ones room the quill toothpick should
search out each corner and angle be-
tween the teeth, and all foreign matter
should be removed; then the toothbrush
should be used, and, as the spaces be-
tween the teeth are vertical in stand
ing person, SO the toothbrush should
be used up and down rather than across,
SO that fresh water may be scrubbed be-
tween each tooth.
The toothbrushes that shed bristles
are not desirable articles of the toilet,
for not only are the loose bristles q
great annoyance, but they may ev.l
work in between the teeth and in the
gums and cause painful points Such
loose bristles usually come from cheap
brushes or those used for too long q
time.
These injunctions about the care of
the teeth have to be repeated again and
again, because it is such a matter of
everyday observance that persons care
full in other matters are careless about
their teeth. As the teeth are not only
very visible. and when in bad state
very prominent, but are aids to diges-
tion, and if imperfect may lead to dys.
pepsia and kindred troubles, they should
be scrupulously cared for.-Popular
