The murderer was one of the regulars

there, so that the picture has its very

The Devil Had Her.

A little Cincinnati girl was at the sea-
shore during the summer with her pa
rents and was very fond of putting on
her bathing suit and going into the water
along the beach. She was cautioned
about the danger of going near the water
alone, and, though she was often dressed
in her suit and allowed to play among
the sand, she was forbidden to venture
in the water, even to wade. One day she
was playing on the beach and, forget
ting the motherly injunction, she waded
out ankle deep in the tapping waves.
She met her mothers reproof later with
disturbed countenance, but had no ex-
cuse to offer.
What made you wade into the water"
asked the mother, when had told you
not to do sop
"Oh: the devil made me, mamma, :"
was the reply.
YES" pursued her mother, "but why
didn't you say to him Get thee behind
me, Satan?'"

began to gather in the little eyes; "and,

Confederate Bills Utilized by Edison

did you ever know what has become
of the greater part of the Confederate
paper money, with which this country
was flooded some years back" asked a
local business man, who had just re-
turned from a trip to the Atlanta expo
sition. mo? Well, neither did | until
I struck Atlanta few weeks ago. In
that town 1 found an old man, who
makes a business of quietly gathering in
all the Confederate banknotes he can
find. You know the stuff was issued by
the ton during the war, and there is any
quantity of it, still floating around. When
the old man gets a big bundle of the pa
per he sends it to Edison, the inventor,
who pays a good price for it. Edison
uses it to make carbon for incandescent
lamps. The paper upon which the Con
federate notes were engraved was made
of the pulp of sea-grass. This branch of
the paper making industry has since be-
come dead art. Sea-grass paper, when
chemically treated by Edison, has been
found to make the best sort of carbon
for incandescent lights, and so there is
always a demand for the Confederate
bills. Philadelphia Record.

CLOSING A LETTER.
| A Bit of knowledge Which Many Stand
in Need OF.

A Bit of knowledge Which Many Stand
in Need OF.
Someone once saidsthat the three need
full things for perfect love letter were:
Good grammar.
Good paper
and sincerity.
Nowadays we are apt to think of the
spelling, too, and the writing, the neatly
divided paragraphs and the general style
and getup of the missive, for all letters
are not love letters, and everyone has
not the excuse of disordered heart and
a beda zzled mentality for careless
scraWl.
One should have an alcohol lamp or
a roll of the wax tapers sold for the
purpose, and still air in the room to
properly seal letters. With the seal and
envelopes before you, turn one end of
the stick of wax rapidly over the fame,
not near enough to ignite it, until it is
creamy and ready to drop; then deftly
rub it round and round over the point of
the envelope flap until enough is deposit
ed, when the dab of wax may be held
a moment Immediately over the flame.
Then firmly press the seal into it. If
drop of the hot wax is first placed under
the point Of the flap the seal will be less
likely to break. A well-cut seal viii
never stick. and practice will insure a
firm impression, with the wax moulded
neatly and evenly around the seal. In
all this pray be careful. Remember
Mrs. Longfellow's sad fate from the lace
of her gown catching fire as she sealed
her Philadelphia Times.
