Begging Letters,

1t is said that tons and tons of beg
ging letters go through the mail each
year OF the great quantity. it is said
that three-fourths OF the epistles are to
wealthy and influential persons asking
for loan of money with which TO Sc
cure an education or learn some profess
sion or, what is more often the case
seeking aud for employment. OF the vast
majority of these letters few, if any. are
ever given a reply. And if the letters
are answered the work is done by private
secretaries who reply in a few type
written words, acknowledging recent of
letter, etc. then the incident is forgotten
Despite the fact that it is well known
that these pleading appeals for help and
Succor are never answered only at rare
intervals. nevertheless they continue to
fit here and there over the country. 1t
Is sad thing 10 note the thousands and
thousands Of aspiring youths in our land
who are eager to be educated but be-
cause OF nome conditions must get out in

what education they can between times.

Laws for Wife Protection.

The rights of wives and mothers to
protection from the inbumanity of those
TO whom they, theoretically at least. look
for support and shelter from the ills of
life, are recognized more and more ev-
cry day. not only by individuals. but by
the authorities and by the aw-making
bodies, This is right. The constituted
authorities and the powers that control
owe protection to the defenseleSs and
about the most defenSeleSs persons in the
world are the wives and offspring Of men
who seek to shirk duty and responsibility
by deserving them. In Maine the Legis-
ture recently in session enacted severe
law in this relation. 1t provides that
any abe-bodied man who refuses or neg
leCtS to support his family, or fails to
try to do So. may be prosecuted before
certain courts. and upon conviction may
be fined or imprisoned al hard labor, III
the discretion of the court w here the
fine is imposed the court may IN its dis
erection cause half the amount to be paid
to the family. Where imprisonment Is
imposed. the county commissioners shall
pay to the family 30 cents a day for every
day of the term for which the offender Is
sentenced. One arrest and one sentence
shall he no bar to successive and re
peated punishmentS for continuance OF
nou-support. The court is made the sole
Judge of a mans ability to support his
family. Indiana also has a new law,
which has just taken effect, It makes
wife desertion a felony. punishable by
imprisonment and fine, and provides
methods Of procedure These and other
laws meet a growing evil, especially III
the large cities. 1t is an easy matter
for man. when family obligations grow
burdensome. to walk off. leaving the wife
to bear them OF course good men do not
do this. but then there are men. and
many of them. who. even while claiming
10 be good citizens, conveniently argue
themselves into the idea that they are
i'll used at home and have a right to
fee from their ills, leaving the wife TO
carry the load Of which the husband has
tired. These men even make themselves
believe that it is best for all concerned
for them to run away. They will think
twice before being governed by such
spccious reasoning with a prison sentence
staring them in the face.-Woman's Ma
tiona Daily.

VANISHING PUBLIC LANDS.

At the beginning of this government
the public lands amounted to 2.291 600.

When Girls Forget.

II is common fault when girls are

yes. a fault, for confidence can be greatly
abused and it leads to some very embar-
RAISING things sometimes. Things repeat
cd are never as they were first spoken,
and the girl who tells little things she
Ils been told. sometimes told not to tell.
an -57grryp- -~fet of trouble There are
some girls who never want but one girl
friend. They cling to that one girl .sV4t44-
tenacity; she is the recipient of all her
condolences, her sorrows, and joys. Then
does the friend impart the news to one
Of her countless friends, and there is a
misunderstanding. 1t is lovely to find
two girls who are bosom friends. yet it
is really better when they are compan-
ionable with number and not wholly
confidential with any. Condolences once
disclosed have fairy wings and travel
fast when they return home they are
wretched little affairs and have so com
pletely changed that the owner does not
even recognize the story as being her own
original confidence. The truest. loveliest
and best girls are those who, when they
say they will keep a promise, do so. 1t
is said women cannot do this but women
can and do and even when the ties of
friendship are broken will not. and do
not. tell the little secrets told them in
confidence. This kind of a girl is a

The Importance of Conversation.

Conversation may become the center
around which ones reading and informa-
ton are grouped. The habit of memoriz-
ing, with definite aim in view, and the
consciousness of having something to
say, give a sense of power. Practice
arouses and strengthens the habit of
ready selection and quick and accurate
application.
True culture carries with it an atmos-
phere of breadth--the world and not the

breadth was said to betray in her con
yerSation her narrow limits of mind.
bounded in the north by her servants. in
the east by her children. in the south by
her ailments and in the west by her
clothes" Some one has observed that
the three Ids" are not discussed in POI
lite socety-dress, domestics and dis
eases.
1t is better to be dull than pedantic.
Not exhibition, but service, is imposed
by superior talent or advantages. Some
persons give an opinion as though their
version were absolute and final.
One must guard oneself from the
temptation of talking shop and riding
ones ''hobby." The retailing of family
affairs also comes under the ban of bad
taste. Whatever sets one aside as
capital 81 should be avoided, such as
personal anecdotes and troubles.
1t now is a well-substantiated and ac-
cepted canon of good form that only
pleasant things are to be said of any one.
An ill-natured criticism is a social blum
der as well as a moral error. Gossip,
too is going out of fashion. Any one
self-convicted hastens to retract what
ever may give the impression that one
has INDUCED in anything so vulgar and
plebeian. 1t has a corrective and inspir-
ing influence to imagine the persons
spoken Of to be within hearing.
1t is a form of helpful influence to
pass on in conversation whatever one
has read or heard that may be useful or
inspiring to others. Many an important
resolve taken in the course of ones life
has been influenced by what one has
heard in a chance conversation
