Have You Written Home!

When I was leaving for Austral.
Ia, every day for weeks before I
sailed, there came to me letters
from all parts OF the country, en-
treating me to inquire for sons and
daughters who had gone away, and
Of whom nothing had been heard
for months, sometimes for years.

grow the roses about the porch !;
and every day as the postman pass
es there comes the mother to the
door; the roses have faded from her
cheek, and the light has gone from
her eyes. She hears the words so
often spoken:
Nothing for you today, ma'am."
I see her creeping back to the kitch-
en-, and setting her arm against the
old blackened mantel-piece, she
rests her head. The freight glis-
tens In the tears, and her heart
swells with pain. Lads and maid

Light on n Mystery.

Hartford Courant.
A reader of the manuscripts sub
mitted to IA large periodical says:
eff the writer is so unfortunate or
careless as to make one slight gram
NAUTICAL error In the first paragraph,
his fate is settled so far as that pc
riodical Is concerned. The reader
goes no further, and the manuscript
Is returned"
This goes far to explain the dull
ness and commonplaceness of much
Of our magazine literature. There
was never good novel written with
out slight grammatical errors, and
one of these might be in the first
paragraph as well as anywhere else.
A man who reads chiefly for gram
NAUTICAL accuracy cannot possibly
judge ofliterary merit. Scott, Thack-
cry, Dickens, and George Eliot are
not exempt from grammatical err
rors; In fact, quotations from those
authors are largely used in modern
rhetorics as examples of faulty SEN
tence-construction. The search for
careless spelling or grammar should
he left to the proofreader.

Higher Prices for Silver.


Greensboro Patriot.
The price Of silver has been ris-
ing for some months, and is now at
"a cents an ounce-the highest
price reached since February, 1897.
Since last December there has been
8 rise OF II cents. The upward
movement is due to an improved
demand from the East. China has
been taking more silver, since the
troops OF the powers need it for To-
cal purchases, wages of coolies and
the like. Chinese merchants pre-
fer silver to imported goods. The
Indian Government since establish.
ing the gold standard has found in
creased use for silver rupees for
improved retail business The con.
sumption Of silver in Europe for
industrial purposes has also been
large.
