Art in EnVeIODe-MakinR,

The envelope, as we have it now, is
a modern invention. The old custom,
before the cheaper postage system was
introduced, was to close by means of
sealing wax or waters the sheet Of pa
per the letter was written on. With
cheaper postage and the development
of the postal system the world over, to-
gether with the rule preparing postage,
came the idea of making a more con-
venient covering for letters. An i'm
mense industry very soon sprang up.
The skill of the inventor was turned to
the making of machinery which would
cheaply and rapidly manufacture en-
volopes of all kinds, sizes, shapes and
cost, combining slight cost with neat
ness and strength of covers. The wa
fer and sealing wax became in a few
years articles which few used, and then
chiefly formal and public or legal docu-
ments, but the people ceased to use
them altogether. This branch of manu-
facture is now carried on extensively
in the West, as we'll as in the East, in
large factories and paper mills, and
the trade of the United States is in
creasing with the extension Of the pos
tai system and the enterprise Of COM
mercial travellers to an extent almost
incalculable.

What Griered the Bride.

farm to become rich or famous in the
cities. A convention of county super
intendents has agreed upon this as
necessity if the country schools in that
State are not to become extinct from
want of pupils. Whether this educa-
tional movement will have any effect
upon the Illinois country boys is uncer
tain. If it were possible to secure a
census of the country boys who have
left the farm to swell the poverty and
crime of the cities instead of improv-
ing their condition, the chance of
checking the migration from country to
town might be improved. Unfortun-
ately, the country boys of Illinois, like
those of other States, read and hear
only of the small minority who achieve
conspicuous success. The names of

Teaching agriculture by scientific meth
DDS will doubtless make farming more
profitable and less irksome to the boys
who remain on the farm, but the sure
way for the Illinois school teachers to
check the migration from farm to city
will be to convince the boys, if they
can, that it pays better, on the whole,
to be of some account in country
neighborhood than to become an un-
counted unit of city rabble

The Family Library.

The library Is now within the reach
of all classes. Competition between the
publishers and the multiplicity of au-
thors has forever banished the day
when a small volume was a luxury, and
the book-stalls have placed treasures
of literature where the poor may reach
them. The poor in purse may become
the rich in spirit. Books are so cheap
that they often materialize in the hands
of those who love them; and sometimes
the possessor hardly knows how or
whence they came. So the library has
not only become feature of the home,
but a necessity. The collection of
books is bound to be made. 1t comes
without effort. There is always room
for one more book, and the first thing
you know there is a caseful, and by
and by the case runs over and another
materialized from somewhere Maybe
the family carpenter nails it together,
and some one else gives it a coat of
paint; later on the books crowd that
case; finally there is a roomful, and
10! you have library. You make room
for the books you love.-Woman's

A JAPANESE SCIENCE.
Ski1lfu1 Arrangement of Stems, Flow
ers and Leaves.

The chief difference between the ar
rangement of flowers in this country
and in Japan is that whereas in this
country the art is merely considered as
a pretty accomplishment for gentle
women, in Japan it ranks as science
and a philosophy, which can only be
mastered after several years Of close
study.
Far from being practiced only by
ladies, this pretty Japanese art has
among it's devotees princes, scholars,
and other prominent men, who, having
retired from the cares of political life,
are in search of a hobby which will af-
ford not only amusement, but will also
offer intricacies and obstacles worthy
of their trained minds.
All cultured people in Japan are pro-
ficient in the science, just as the better
classes among Western nations cult
vate taste in dress, or in the artistic ar
rangement Of their household goods.
The Japanese term for a flower
hana-also implies a blossom-clad
stem, and even the stumps or branches
of flowerless trees and shrubs; and
their science of flower arrangement
consists not only in grouping flowers.
but more particularly in grouping
their leaves and twigs according to pre-
scribed formulate. The blossom Is
looked upon as a minor detail in the
artistic composition, and of very small
value if separated from the parent
stem, whose sweeping, though arti-
fetal, curves emphasize its beauty. The
whole science is, therefore, reduced to
obtaining curves which, though really
distorted, have the appearance Of being
true to nature.=PearsOn's

make a complete revolution in the char

He Was Among Strange Liars, but He
Made Them Ashamed.
A tall, thin man, better known on the
st. Lawrence in the bass season than
anywhere, stepped from the steamer
one noon recently at Santa Catalina
Island, California The boatmen who
own the stands along shore, and who
have keen eye out for a prosperous
looking visitor with rod, did not give
him a second glance. A dark-eyed tuna
fisher moved up to give the stranger
ton. Some one had just landed with
catch Of forty barracudas, and he
was discussing it.
But you should see the Florida bar
racudas. 1 killed one in Bahama some
years ago that measured eighteen feet
in diameter"
The stranger shifted his seat nerv-
ously.
Its teeth were like young bowie
knives, and dozens Of men are killed
by them every year. This one I took
on a reel; it was sort of arrange
ment fixed into the stern Of the boat
and turned on a crank, and when we
hooked the fish began to work on it,
and for ten hours 1 wound and worked,
during which that barracuda towed our
boat from Bull Pup key to Punta Cor
da, distance Of ten miles. where we
finally killed it on the beach. 1t weigh
ed 29O pounds, and its bite was deadly
poison" -
THAT is a remarkable story" said
the stranger, who did. not seem espe-
cially pleased, "but it is nothing to
what 1 have seen in the Gulf of Pa
mama, where the sharks are so thick
that when you go fishing you have to
dynamite the bay to kill them off. But

of the first mate of the Mozambique

fired at big sulphur bottom, the gun
harpoon striking it on the tail, passing
directly along the spine, and coming
out at the mouth. When the animal
was hit it turned around so quickly to
see what had struck it that the har-
pooh, in coming out Of the whales
mouth, struck the unfortunate man
and killed him."

was to clear the dense forests for

for export as lumber. The largest
tree, eight feet in diameter at the

''The American soldiers, in physique
and intelligence, are superior to any
other troops in the world" said Lieu
tenant Colonel Lee of the British army
to an astonished House of Commons
recently. The speaker was military at
tache of the British Embassy at Wash
ington during our war with Spain, and
accompanied our troops to Cuba. AS
close student of military affairs, he was
familiar with the personnel of the
armies of the world, and was disposed
to think the British soldier second to no
other. His Cuban experiences led him
to hold and his candor impelled him to
utter the compliment above quoted.
Our soldiers in China, serving side by
side with the best European troops,
have been Outclassed by none in dis
cipline, self-control and courageous de-
uOtion to duty.
