SHARP POINT OF LETTERS
Mail Clerk Complains of Pins Used
 in Epistles-Gets Many Digs During Day.

eff people must stick pins in their letters, I wish they would, cover up the points so they wouldn't push through" said mail clerk, whose hands were disfigured by tiny scratches, relates the New York Times. ''Ill bet get 100 digs a day from pins that sys- tematic folks use to hold their corre- spondence together. I never could make out, anyway, why so many letters need to be finished off with pin Of course, I understand that about half of those written by women have post script in>the shape of a sample of dress goods or newspaper clippings, which perhaps require 8 pin or two to hold them in place, but even that habit can not account for the large number of let 4ers that come through the post office with pin sticking out of one corner
 I have come to the conclusion that many writers so nail their manuscript with malicious intent. It may not be us fellows in the postal service against whom they hold a grudge, but we are the ones that usually get the benefit of those pins"

TRINoUET, ORIGIN oFTENNIs
Popular Game Game from Ancient Pastime Played by the Basque
 Peasantry.

Popular among the Basque peasantry is an ancient game known as trinquet. No one knows the origin of trinquet;
 like all Basque customs, it can be traced back and back till it's history is lost in a remote past. Nearly every court in the country bears the aspect of extreme age. The court at Bayonne Is believed to be 400 years old, and the one at St. Jean de Luz looks older than the one at Bayonne. When Louis XIV, who was married in St. Jean de Luz church, went down to the little frontier town to meet his Spanish bride he found the Basques of St. Jean de Luz energetieally play ing their ancient game; and he took the idea back with him to Paris, and from 1t largely modified comes the game of tennis. Tennis and trinquet are very similar, save that instead of racquets leather arrangement, known as a glove, is used for propelling the ball.

LUCK IN THE LETTER "B."
Worst Foes of Gardener Begin with "W''-"D" Related to Things
 of Doleful Mature.

A writer has discovered that many of the worst foes of the horticulturist be- gin with w" and he instances worms, weevils, wind and other workers of wickedness. This suggests a question as to whether there is any natural group ing of good or evil things under partic- nlar letters. Take "b,'' for example, and consider how many boons and blessings to man begin with 1t. The baker, butch CT and brewer bring him bread, beef and beer. For additional foods he has bacon, black bass, beans, bloaters, broccoli, broth, bivalves, bananas, berries, bis cults, buns and butter. After banquet of bonnes-bouches he may bring out his 'baccy while he bestrides his bicycle. These are but a few of the benefcent things included under that blessed letter "b." Now, as contrast, take d." and among the first words we think of are damp, dark, dreary, dank, dull, drowned, dismal, dirty, damned, dusty, dastard, daft, ducked, dosed, dragged, doubtful, .disgusted, doctor, diseased, doldrums, dungeons. depressed, despairing, dead, drunk. and so on, the very sound of which is enough to drive one into doleful dumps.

FLATS LACK GUEST ROOM.
New England Woman Makes Discov- cry That No Provision Is
 Made for Company

"One of my first discoveries" said a New England woman who had been transplanted to New York flat, accord ing to the Sun, "was that fiat dwellers made no provision for company in the way that had always supposed it must be done. Such thing as a guest room in an ordinary flat is apparently un- dreamed of This lack seemed very heathenish to me, and I insisted that one of my five rooms should be set aside as sacred to the chance guest. One day when was expecting two very dear friends I was moved to mention my pleasant anticipation to my next neigh bor, bride of few months. Her con- cern for me in what she evidently re- garded as a predicament was funny.
 Company she exclaimed. Going to stay two weeks? What in the world will you do with them? Why do you know, we've never even let my hus- bands folks know about our marriage just for that very reason. haven't any place for company-andI they're just the kind that would flock to visit us country folks, you know-Fred's peo- pie all live in Rochester"
