WRITE LETrERs WELL.
They Are the Truest Index of Our Best
Thoughts.


Thoughts.
The most delightfully."- worthwhile,
writes Mrs Roger A. Pryor in the De-
lineator, of all accomplishments is, to my
mind, that of writing charming letters.
However sweet song may be, it is
evanescent as a breath, and survives as
a divine ms mory only. Conversation re-
qures the actual presence Of those who
engage In It, and the pleasure 1t gives
depends upon many things-a melodous
voice, an attractive appearance, maybe
cheerful rooms, congenlal surroundings
freedom from the cares and Interruptions
Of life But 1t matters not how co!d
and bare a garret home may be, nor how
forbidding its outlook upon the chimney
pots under a windy sky; or whether
the lodge be in a wilderness or foreign
land; given some measure of leisure, good
stationery and q convenient possoifice, ali
the world may be ours. We may daily
send forth, on white wings, our highest
thoughts and most gracious words, and
fun mead of appreciation will surely re-
turn to us.
Such correspondence may be inde-
pendent Of the formaligies of an introduce
tion No third person is needed lf we
wish to express our gratitude to a phi
anthropjst, philosopher or poet These
dweilers in the realms of Thought are
peculiarly susceptible to this delicate
form of hattery. Momentous corse-
quencss have occasionally been the out
growth Of acquaintances thus begun l
knew a happy marriage to result from
such corresondence with a poet, and
we an have known Friendships, ending
only with llfe which have been nourished
as they were begun by letters only.
OF course in the high thinking that must
govern correspondence bringing about
such results, formulas of expression ana
matters Of stationery are quite swept into
the background. And yet, l fancy, the
initial letters in most cases must be
mmaculate-prlm, trlg libtle affairs, neat
and trim as an eplgram, producing some
thing Ike the impression one receives
from a perfectly gloved hand extended
for It's first greeting, The introductory
letters must be happily worded-cela va
sars dlre-but I am sure they should also
be nelsiy written. . . One should
have an alcohol lamp or a roll of the
wax tapers sold for the purpose, and
still air in the room TO perfectly seal let
tiers. With The seal and envelope before
you, turn one end Of the stick of wax
rapidly Ovtr the flame, not near ough
to ignite 1t, until 1t Is creamy aad ready
TO drop, then deftly rub 1t round and
round over the point of the envelope flap
until enough Is deposited, when the dab
of wax may be held a moment imme,
dlate.y over The flame. Then firmly press
the sal 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.
wec-cut seal will never stick, and
practice Will insure firm impression,
wlth ;he wax nodded neatly and evelly
around The seal, In all this pray be
careful. Blazing wax in some hands is
dngerOus. Remember Mrs. Longfellcws
sad Fate from yhe lace of her gown cltch-
ng fire as she sealed her letters

1t Is shown ny an analysis of census
figures that more than half the men
IN twenty-eight of the forty-nine states
and territories are engaged in agriculture,
and that farming is the leading pursuit
in all Of them except New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Raode Isiand, Connecti-
cut and New Jersey where manufdctur-

There are in the United States 9,6OO,OOO
men engaged in agriculture to 100000
In other forms of business. The steady
growth of this country is sufficient proof
that intelligent farming pays.
