The Gentle Art of Letter writing.
The classic age of letter writing. like
that of chivalry, is gone, although no

splendid funeral Grafton. Correspond

fill the bag of the letter carrier. The
love letter, we presume. still holds its
sway and, if we are to judge fr0m the
revelations of breach of promise cases,
il is full of sugary SentimcntaliSm as
in the days of Lydia l.anguSh. But
the letter as il has passed into litcra-

DEATH OF COLONEL mApLEsoN.

The death of Colonel j. II. Maple
son In London removes from the world
OF music the last and. in some respects,
the most picturesque OF the old-schooi
opera impressarios. All his contem-
poraries. Lumley. Ullman, Grover. ia
cob Grau, Maretzek, the Strakosh
brothers, and De Vivo, died some time
ago. Maurice Grau. the most promi-
nent of the Italian opera managers of
today, can hardly be called one of the
old school. for he was a ticket seller
when Colonel Mapleson was in his
glory.
1t were useless to deny Colonel Ma
pleson's great service to the opera
goers OF this country. For eighteen
years he was the leading operate pur-
veyor, and during that period he pre-
sented nealy two score of the most
famous artists and introduced many
new operas to the American public at
considerable expense to his patrons
and at considerable loss to himself,
for he was nearly always on the verge
OF bankruptcy and sometimes over the
verge. His financial straits, however,
nowise abashed or distressed him. In
some mysterious way he always came
out on top and continued year after
year to present operas In lavish style
and pay most extraordinary salaries.

SUNDAY AND THE FAMILY.

President Roosevelt is to be COM
mended for announcing that Sunday is
to be reserved for his family and that
business callers will not be received
that day at the White House.
The executives example is worthy
imitation by every man so situated
that he can call one day in the week
his own and custom has 50 ordered life
in this country that the day most con-
veniently reserved for rest is the first
day OF the week.
One Of the students of waywardness
among American boys insists that
lack of home love is bred in the ma
tive boy by unconscious or willful es-
arrangement between American parents
and their children. They are not al
ways mutually companionable. The
parents often find their own pleasures
and leave the children to enjoy theirs
In isolation or neglect. A contrast be-
tween European and American home
life is frequently made by travellers in
this country to our disadvantage. The
American father. 1t Is alleged, is so
engrossed in money-making all his
life and every day In the week that
his children grow up strangers to him
and seek away from home the COM
radeship they ought to find at home
and with their parents until marriage.

SAFEGUARD OF THE NEW WORLD.

The speech OF Mr.. Alfred Cahavero

the United States for the preservation
Of her independence. In the second
place. Mr.. Cahavero showed that Mex

Cahavero. I'VE are bound by similar

bellion. TO establish European en-
pire in Mexico and thus break down
