LETTERs-wRITTEN AND
RECEIVED.
RY IsoBEL M, TAYLOR

BY lSOBEL
When penny postage was first adopt
ed by the people Of Great Britain, many
feared that letter writing would be-
come ore of the lost arts. These fears
have been greatly augmented by the
almost universal use Of the type-writ-
ing machine by business and profess
ional men, making as it does the
actual penmanship of letter laborious;
and yet without that penmanship
much of the personal magnetism con-
veyed in letter is lost. To prevent
these fears becoming facts our rising
generation will neec to be on its guard
against the formation of those careless
habits which are engendered on the one
hand by dictation, and ON the other by
the feeling that because It only costs
two cents anything written anyhow is
good enough to be posted. If those
peers among correspondents, Cowper
and Scott, are ever TO have any sue
cessors, it will be necessary TO remem,
ber that letter writing is talent to be
cultivated, and not gift bestowed
| In its full maturity. OF course it
must be admitted that temperament
has great deal to do with letter-writ-
| ing, for some people seem born to nse
the pen as surely az others to WELD the
sword, and again others have to strive
to attain at best only Indifferent sue
cess; but these are exceptions to the
rule, for q poor letter writer, by con.
slant, careful correspondence, may be-
come a good one, and good one. by
neglecting to use this talent, will lose
it as the man In the parable lost his,
because be hid it in the ground. The
individuality in the different members
of one household can easily be discern
ed by means Of letters, and this forms
an interesting study. For example,
when tWo brothers travel together, it
will scarcely be credited that they are
in the same place, for while one sends
home letters POLITICALLY describing the
the majesty of snow mountsins, the
grandeur of the ice views, or the filmy
veil like waterfalls, the other will fill
his sheet of PAPER with terse incisive
prose to tell OF odd characters and bad
dinuerS.
Any one desirous Of writing really
good letters will need little thought
and g good deal of effort, for thepFesent
tendency 10 to do everything in hurry,

disaster, in the face of many unjusti6able
and iniamable publications, although

ever may be said or done by a few indi-
Yidnals that the great mass of our peo-
pie recognize that it wonld be as great
an insult to the brave officers who COM
pose that Court to take action in ad-
vance of the report of the Court as it
would be to judge and jury of any

him. Every preparation that wisdom

made to place our military and naval
forces in a position to meet any emerg-
ency that may arise. If there is to be
war, We shall be ready for it,and we

Another step forward was taken by
Speaker Reed " hen he ruled that it was
violation of order for member to
get the floor, when the House was sit
ting as COMMITTEES of the whole for
the purpose of speaking upon bill un-
der consideration and then to make
speech upon something entirely foreign
to the bill. Because it is an old Gus
tom for members to utilize any old bill
that happened to be out as basis for
partisan political speech, is no reason
that it was right. Of course, the Dem
ocrats claim to see in this ruling
fresh attempt on the part of the speaker
to suppress free speech, but it was
nothing of the sort. AS Representa-
tive Dingley stated, after the Demo
cratic howl which followed the appli-
cation of this ruling by Representative
Payne, who was presiding over the
house sitting as a committee, the en-
forcement Of rule against irrelevent
debate was necessary to correct grow
ing evil and to expedite public business,
1t does not interfere with the making
Of political speeches; only confints their
making to proper times.
