Ending Notes and Letters.

1t is passing strange that in America and
In England there should exist so great a
difference in the manner of sending a let
ter and in the application of the words
cordially" faithfully" sincerely, "
truly" and respectfully" The latter
expression in England is never used save
by tradesmen or domestic servants. "Cor-
daily is seldom employed, the usual term
beng 'yours truly" or 'yours sincerely, /"
especially in the case of informal notes. In
formal and official communications that
commence with the word sir or mad
am" English people invariably sign
themselves your obedient servant" or
"your humble servant" no matter what
the rank of the writer may be. Thus
Princess Christian of Sleswick Holstein,
that daughter of Queen Victoria who takes
the most active part in charitable schemes
Rnd benevolent institutj8ns, signs all her
circulars and letters as president of the
committees of management with the words
''your Obedient servant" preilXed to her
name, even when addressing retired shop
keepers. In the same way the merost clerk
who happens to receive Il communication
from cabinet minister perhaps acknowl-
edging the receipt of n petition, finds the
august writer describing himself as your
humble and obedient servant. New

ArraIgning the ROMANTIC Novel.

How unuttcrably flimsy and juvenile
romantic fiction such as Stevenson's tales
of villainous wrcckers and buccaneers,
HaggaFd's chronicles of battle, murder
and sudden death, Conan Doyle's accounts
of staggering savagcry and sickening
atrocities and ). r. Crockctt's sanguinary
records of Scotch marauding expeditions
appears to me compared with TOlstoi' 5
wonderfully vivid and mastery transcripts
of the life we all live 1t is the feudal
sentiment of good Sir Walter and his sue
cessors which makes our daughters despise
the democracy which their fathers founded
and dream of baronial castles, parks and
coroncts and marriage with u British
peer as the goal of their ambitions.
Half the novels they read glOrify these
things, and it would be wonder if the
perpetual Qualification did not produce its
effect. For the idea that literature of
amusement is neutral agency which af-
fects you neither for good nor for ill is per-
nicious fallacy. What you read, especially
in youth, will enter into your mental sub
stance and will and must increase or inn
pair your efficiency. Much you will out
grow, no doubt, but there always remains
a deposit in the mind which you will never
outgrow. 1t is because the romantic novel
tends to unfit you for the prose of life that
/ condemn it, and it is because the real
istic novel opens your eyes to its beauty,
its power and its deeper significance that
commend it.-Hjalmar HjOrth Boyescn in
Forum
