PULLMAN, WASH,
Mr.. A. G. BUTCHER, March IL, 1895.
Colfax, Wash.
DEAR SIR:-At your request | thought
| would try and write short letter.
Though l am not used to letter writing,
| will try.
I am getting along nicely at school.
l am in the fourth grade. Our class
studies are arithmetic, reading, language
and geography. think that Mrs. Nor
rill, our teacher, is.kind and patient
we have learned very fast since she has
been our teacher. We are to have ex-
animation soon; hope l will be first. !
have been first every month but one.
They all try to be first. The weather
has been warm, but lately has been
cooler. All the children are glad the
flowers have come. l am sorry school
will close 80 soon, but as it cannot be
helped, there is no need to be sorry.
Mrs. Morrill, is going to teach school in
Spokane. l wish she was going to teach
us the est of the year. l am sure all
the scholars are sorry she is going, but
as she can get higher salary, and school
lasts longer, it would be better for her to
60.
This is short letter, but as l can
think of nothing more that will interest
you, l will close.
Yours Respectfully,
MAUD SPAULDING.

THE BEST LETTERS.
Public School Pupils Write Letters to
the County Superintendent.
The Winning Letters were Written by
Pupils of the Fifth Grade

Early in the spring Superintendent OF
Schools A. G. Butcher requested the
pupils of the public schools to each
write him a letter, he to have the two
best letters published. This week the
HERALD received from Mr.. Butcher the
two letters, which according to the ludg-
ment of the judges, were entitled to the
distinction az being "best." They were
both written by fifth grade pupils. The
letters were as follows:
PULLMAN, WASH,

Weather-C Bulletin.
Below is the weather-crop report for
the state for week ending April 22d:

Below is the weather-crop report for
the state for week ending April 22d:
WESTERN SECTION.
The week, excepting two or three days
at the close, was not favorable, except
for the growth of grasses. For four days
of the week there were almost constant
showers of rain and hail, and cold, cloudy
weather. The soil was rendered soggy
and unfit for working. and there was not
enough sunshine to make grain or early
vegetables grow. With 80 much wet
weather fruit blossoms would not fertil-
ize we'll. The Goth, 2lst and 22d, how
ever, were beautiful sunny days, and
favorable for the termination of seed,
and the growth of all vegetation.
Potato planting has been the leading
work of the farmers during the past
week. Red clover and hops are reported
to be doing finely. Oats are coming up
we'll. Fruits OF all kinds are said to be
promising, except apples; there will be
less than the average crop Of them, &C
cording to present indications. The
light frost of the Goth, which appeared
in some localities and missed others did
no damage to speak of.
More rain will not be needed for some
time, and with several days of sunny
weather like the present, all crops will
grow rapidly, and the farmers become
more hopeful. Such days az these are
splendid for planting.
EASTERN SECTION.
The two or three scattering showers
were beneficial to all crops, and were
badly needed, az the ground was very
dry. More would not have done any
harm. Sharp frosts following the rain
did little damage to fruits and early
vegeta bles, but nothing serious.
Yakima county men complain OF the
unusually dry spring and fear it will
prove unfavorable. Those in most other
counties consider it favorable spring,
although as yet trife too cool for the
growth of grain. The past three or four
sunny days have greatly improved things.
From Stevens county, the most north
ern and latest, come hopeful and favor
able reports. In Spokane county TALL
sown wheat is looking well, and spring
seeding 10 about done. Grass on the
range is in good condition.
From Lincoln county the reports are
not az favorable as last week; cool and
frosty nights have checked growth. In
Okanogan county the prospect for fruit
il said to be good. In Whitman county
there has been slow growth, on account
of the cool weather and frosts, but all
though spring and fall sown grain have
neither made much progress, both are
looking strong and well rooted. Garden
ing 10 progressing, and more attention is
being paid to it than formerly. Through
out the southern counties vegetables,
where up, are doing well. Ii the warm
and sunny weather that has now set IN
continues for a week or SO everything
will flourish.

An Effective Ad.

Strength, beauty, originality and
truth are the necessary component
parts Of an effective advertisement,
one that will hold the reader and con-
vince. without these qualities the ad-
vertisement does not fulfill Its posi-.
bilities. Unattractively arranged ad-
vertising, either letterpress or news
paper, cannot bring returns, any more
than poor OratOrical delivery can carry
conviction to a popular audience. The
ideas and argument in both cases may
be Of the best, but the effect Is blighted
and destroying by hating, m~Onotonous
delivery, as illustrated by either poor
speaking or printing. The mental

Sights in a Big Town,

London is celebrated for the fog that
envelops it in an impenetrable veil during
the cold months. In summer OCCASION
ally there is sunshine, and even if Old
Sol persists in hiding there is a clear at
mosphcre that makes traversing its streets
an agreeable pastime. But with Deem
Der arrives the season of fogs, of gas
lamps burning every hour of the twenty
four and other discomforts arising from a
hazy atmosphere that borders between
darkness and light. And there are degrees
in this atmospheric condition as there are
in pretty much everything else. There is
the black fog, the bottle-green, the yell
low-green and the white mist. The black
is the most dreaded and fortunately the
most rare. The vapor takes on a dark
hue and transforms the glare of midday
into the blackness of night. 1t brings the
activities of a mighty city to a s%tandstill,
makes outdoor movement perilous and rem
ders invisible the hand held an inch from

to be led by tOrch-bearers and pedestrians

suiting the action to the word threw
down on the counter a cent. Mortified
and abashed, her first impulse was to

better Judgment prevailing she picked
1t up, thanked him and left.
Without going further she returned
home and told her mother that she
would not ask for anything more and

the mother said, land show what you
can do with it." She followed this adj
vice and bought a small china doll,
and. dressing it In some scraps which
she had, sold it to a friend for her little
daughter. Having increased her CAPT
tai 400 per cent. she invested it in q
spool Of c%rocheting cotton, with which
she worked several small articles, and

clean cars, open the entire length, and
daylight as long as it lasts-nOt cooped
up in narrow and uncleanly compart-
ments as in London. The smoke nuisance,
however, is the most Objectionable, as it
is ever present on the journey. The sta
tons are in long tunnels and you are hard
ly out in the open before the train plunges
into another subterranean cavern so that
the cars make breathing uncomfortable at
all times. This prevents the asthmatic
from using the railway. Until electricity
or some other propelling force is substi-
tuted for coal the smoke objection will
prevent the road realizing all that it's pro-
%jectors intended. The underground has
no connection with the roads built beneath
the Thames and which have never return
ed its owners anything owing to the smoke
that filled the cars in transit. There are
W tunnels below the river, the last one
built a few years ago.
The Bridges.
The bridges that span the Thames are
massive and the builders meant that a
dozen centuries should elapse before they
would crumble. The river is three-eighths
of a mile wide in London and the cost of
piiuSlhS / uuo Dctl cLoI niOuS' Ii Ncul-
cles are closely packed on these viaducts
pretty much all day and the tramp of 20O,-
900 pedestrians in twenty-four hours
across some of them make a very spirited
picture, the like of which is not to be en-
countered elsewhere. London bridge is
the best known and most used; Black
friars comes next. At 7 o'clock in the
morning and at 6 in the evening they are
damned with vehicles and the passage
ways crowded with h%urrying toilers to and
from work. The teams are three abreast
going and coming, and the ~refugee-the
rounded stone six-inch elevation in the
roadway with uprights to keep off the
horses-is of inestimable value in cross
ing the wide approaches to the bridges.
Until these refugees were instituted it
was not uncommon to kill a person a day

tiously if he would avoid contact with the
fellow going in the opposite direction. This
haze makes the street gas lights look like
pin heads with a corresponding reduction
in Illuminating power. White mist com
pletes the variety and is more in evidence
than any of the others, and the least an
moving. Singularly enough. these fogs do
not rise more than 200 feet above the
ground and from the top of the dome of
st. Paul the city is hidden from sight by
the vapor that enshrouds it. The duration
of fogs vary. A few hours of sunlight are
sufficient to dissipate some of them; again
they last a fortnight. The most depress-
ing are those caused by the west wind,
which conveys the smoke from the burn
ing Of soft coal from a million chimneys
to the eastward in a long train sometimes
extending thirty miles. Suddenly the
wind changes and this vast volume of
smoke is driven back over the city, where,
reinforced by that emitted from the chin
neys, settles over and constitutes the
greatest drawback to living in the city.
The Underground.
The metropolitan or underground rail
road answers for rapid transit and bears
the relation TO London that the elevated
occupies to New York. The speed is
about the same, but here the resemblance
ceases. In London you enter a dingy
and filthy station from the street, buy
your ticket and make you descent to the
platform below over dirty stairs to the
waiting rooms, which are chilly, ill-smell-
ing and so dark that gas has to be burned
all day. The odor of smoke is very much
in evidence and you feel a sense of relief
as the lighted bulls eye in the locomotive
rounds the curve and the train comes to a
halt. Then the smoke from the engine
fills the station and as you enter the COM
partment you quickly close the door to
save being suffocated. 1t is so thick you
can scarcely discern a person through the
glass partition on the doorway. While
one fare gives you the best on the ele-
waited, you must choose from three classes
on the underground. The best is much in
feriOr to the elevated, and the atmosphere
between smoke and the foul-smelling

Is no escaping them. 1t is as though
q child had set some complicated ma
chinery in motion and was incapable
of stopping it. Professor NOrdau does
not say it, but the secret of this failure
of civilized humanity lies in having too
much Of everything; too much Of pleas
ure; too much Of m%addening work; too
much Of emotion, which the moderDs
now cultivate as if it were another
form of genius and a gift from heaven.
