THE LATEST ABOUT LETTER WRIT
ING.

Begin your letter to woman friend
without amy prefix of endearment at all,
says the Royal Letter Writer by Appoint
ment to her Majesty Mrs. Grundy. For,
with logical severity reasons, this not-to-
be-contradicted authority, dt is hence
forth to be considered both vulgar and
tmpertinent to call mere friend or &C.
quaintance your dear" The letter-writer
directs his pupils to begin their notes
or epistles with easy, friendly sentences,
and conclude with the words esteem, re-
spect, or "a new cut-and-dried phrase:
I'm hopes of an early meeting, 1 am
yours, etc." or, sin pleasant anticipa-
tions of seeing you soon, 1 ann yours,
etc." 1t Is distressingly inelegant to
write, pursues Mrs. Grundys master of
the pen any letter over four pages long;
that is, just one full sheet of letter paper.
Leave half-inch wide margin to the
left of every page, and by writing an
artstocratic hand, of medium size, all
there Is necessary to communicate by
post can be said in the fixed space The
model letter-wrlters in the politest per-
iods of society never require greater
space in which to make their cleverest
mots or convey most interesting news.
For this reason the new letter paper Is
ASNAAJ a AOOt SqullCt OhuAy SAOu6ut
the authority quoted recommends men to
study George Washington's penmanship
as the most elegant, graceful and manly
model. An aristocratic hand, be 1t i'm
pressed upon those who follow the laws
issued from Mrs. Grundy's throne, is one
which for women shows no crossed "t's"
or dotted 'Y.s" and is written in clear
purple ink. Black ink is meant for trade
and legal documents only.-From "Socie-
ty Fads," in Demorests Magazine for
August.

Ladies' Home Journal.
One of the most unfortunate elements
In our American life. and l say 1t frankly
and boldly, is what is called our free
press" What was intended to be an
honorable opportunity for the expression
OF homes. convictions on the part of
journalism has degenerated into jour
nalism that must sooner or later meet
with the autspoken indignation Of every
respectable man and woman in the coun-
try A great deal of this spirit of free
criticism to which we are so prone has
been injected into our lives and natures
by the newspapers of today. Any fair
minded person who looks at the matter
calmly will agree with me that no single
agency dn this country has done so much
to spread this evil among all classes as
the modern newspaper. And when l say
the newspaper / speak Of 1t as an in
stitution. There are exceptions, and not
able ones, thank the Lord, which are
managed by men of upright motives who
have not abused the freedom impaired to
them. But these are exceptions. For the
most part, the newspaper in this country
has degenerated into a vehicle for the
calumny of people whose work brings
them before the public. And the greater
the man, the greater the abuse heaped
upon hdm. There Is scarcely anyone who
has had any work to do In the wrld, OF
who has amy circle of friends whom he
loves and cherishes, but what has felt
the sting of American journalism as It is
carried on in so many instances these
days. One of the most disg-aceful feat
ures in our northern style of journalism
is that the president Of the United States,
whose very station should command re-
spect for him, is made a constant target
for disrespect. 1t makes not the slightest
difference whether we admire OF do not
admire the man who occupies the presl-
dential chair He is placed there by
the expressed suffrage of the people, and
when he is so placed and is the occupant
of the high office, he has a right to the
respect of the people Of the country over
which he presldes. A Democratic parent
will sit at his table before his children
and heap abuse upon a Republican presi-
dent, and vice versa. ] have seen dis
cusslon OF a presidents motives carried
to such an extent at the family table
that the children have sat with open
mouths staring at their father as he
poured forth his calumnious opinions
about the citizens OF the republic. And
he had imbibed this spirit from the news
papers. We must put stop to wilIful
and reckless criticisms of other peoples
dolngs and motives.

eacn day OF the voyage.
An exchange says: Archibald Ross Col
quhoun, the well known explorer, has lust
returned form a several months mission
to Nicaragua, where he Thoroughly in
spected the Nicaraguan canal route and
VISITED the Panama canal. Asked IL the
scheme was practicable, Colquhoun en-
phatically replied: Undoubtedly 1t Is
practicable. feel certain of that; but
uhere are many points of engineering im-
portance requiring consideration and full
discussion. The American commission is
composed of men of the highest ability
and viii, 4 believe issue an impartial re-
port, not in any way based on party
lines. 1 had long conversations with Col.
Ludlow and the other members of the
commission with him, and also with Com
mander A. G. Menocal, late chief engineer
of the Nicaraguan Canal company, who
has been writing about the scheme for
the last twenty years, and who Is, in fact
Its originator. The project is, from an
engineering point of view very fine one.
There will be only 20 "a miles of actual
digging to be done. The climate of Nicar-
aqua Is immensely superior to that of
Panama, and, far from suffering, I have
benefited in health from the visit. AL
though working during the very hottest
season of the year, found the climate
quite pleasant and mere bagatelle to
climates experienced while in Burmah
IndoIChina or Africa. From what I have
seen of Nicaragua and from a heightened
visit to the United States, especially the
southern states, l am more than ever
convinced of the immense Importance to
the United States of this project, and
feel sure that it is only under the aus
pices off the United States government
that that great enterprise can be carried
Through as it should be- That is, over
coming all difficulties in regard to execu-
tion and throwing the proposed waterway
open as an international channel to the
worlds commerce. The canal, in nv
opinion, will be universally of greater i'm
portance than the Suez canal, and largely
revolutionize the shipping routes of the
world. For the United States the canal
will not only have the effect of developing
the trade of the Pacific slope and south
ern states, but will more especially open
up the magnificent timber land of the
Mississippi at present lost to the COM
merce of the world"

The steamer Coquitlam was consider
ably damaged when she came in from
the Haddington island stone quarry yes
terday, says the Colonist. Three of her
plates on the forward part of her bottom
were badly injured and a portion of the
keel more or less battered. When she
was last week going up Johnston straits
struck rock, but being light, the blow
was not so severe as it might have been.
The Coquitlam was able to proceed on
her trip for stone, but it is probable
she will be laid up for repairs and that
the Capilano will come down form Van
couver to replace her.
