WASHINGTON IRVING TO POE.
A Letter Full of Genial Criticism and
Friendly Counsel.

Poe had through life the habit of
sending his better tales and poems to
distinguished literary mcn and solicit
ing thereby their attention, writes Pro-
fessor George E. Woodberry in The
Century in presenting some of Poe's un-
published correspondence relating to his
residence in Philadelphia.
He kept the replies and was thus en-
abled to append to Hirst's biography of
him in the Philadelphia Saturday Mu-
scum long list of encomiums in addi-
tion to such as had been publicly made
The following letter from Washington
Irving was written in acknowledgement
of civilian Wilson," which had fol-
lowed the House of Usher," as a
means of introduction, and the sub
stance of it, much altered and some
what garbled, appeared in the list re-
ferred to and affords striking instance
of how Poe dealt with such correspond
ence:
NEwBURG, Nov. g. 1850.
DEAR SiE--Thc magazine you were so kind

nate habit Of procrastination, must plead my

could add for your private ear that think
the last tale much the best in regard to style.
1t is simpler. In your first you have been too
anxious to present your picture vividly to the
eye, or too distrustful of your effect, and have
laid on too much coloring. 1t is erring on the
best sdc-the side of luxuriance. That tale
might be improved by relieving the style from
some of the cpithcts. There is no danger Of
destroying its graphic effect, which is power
full. With best wishes for your success am,

The Small Things.

81 don't think any nation pays more
attention to military affairs than Ger
many, said a German citizen. Things
of seeming little Importance connected
with the army are investigated with the
greatest pains. Many years ago the mat
ter Of boot heels was taken up. What
height of heel was best for the infantry?
A commission was appointed One heel
after another was tried, and a record of
how far the soldiers could march a day
in each was kept. Years piled on years,
the commission carrying OH the investi-
CATION with the care and exactitude of a
chemical analysis. Constant improve
ments were made, and the distance an
army could march in day was thereby
increased. At length the suggestion of
a heel partly made of rubber was put
forth. 1t was tried-instantaneous sue
cess! 1t was found that a regiment using
such heels could march one third farther
a day and with less fatigue than when
the investigation was begun. A small
thing that to begin with, but what an
important part the improved heel would
play in war"-Louisville Courier.

CARELESS ABOUT THE TEETH.
The Great Majority Are Negligent In This
Important Matter.

Much has been and will be written
on the care of the teeth because SO many
persons do not appreciate these valuable
organs of mastication. If teeth are we'll
cared for and regularly inspected by the
dentist, decay will hardly have an op-
portunity to do great harm before it is
stopped. Decay often has its beginning
in bits of food sticking between the
teeth and forming the starting point Of
a diseased tooth.
The toothpick should be used regular
ly after each meal and after eating it
need not necessarily be employed during
a meal or be carried like a cigar in the
mouth after eating, but in the privacy
of ones room the quill toothpick should
search out each corner and angle be-
tween the teeth, and all foreign matter
should be removed; then the toothbrush
should be used, ard, as the spaces be-
tween the teeth are vertical in stand
ing person, so Tie toothbrush should
be used up and down rather than across,
so that fresh water may be scrubbed be-
tween each tooth.
are not desirable articles of the toilet,
for not only are the loose bristles a
great annoyance, but they may even
work i'll between the teeth and in the
gums and cause painful points. Such
loose bristles usually come from cheap
brushes or those used for too long a
time.
These injunctions about the care Of
the teeth have to be repeated again and
again, because it is such matter of
everyday observance that persons care
ful i'll other matters are careless about
their teeth. As the teeth are not only
very visible, and when i'll bad state
Vyiy prominent, but are aids to diges-
ton. and if imperfect may lead to dys-
z p~i2 end rdrcd troubles, they should
be .agupu y cared for.-Popular
