Youngish mothers of well-grown'

what was held to be a proper hand
writing for a woman twenty years ago
is no longer taught in the schools. The
queer angular hand that women still
affected ten years ago has given place
to a handwriting with curves, and the
vertical writing of a dozen years ago
is disappearing before a moderate
slant
The woman whose handwriting is
marked by the extreme form Of the

for a person no longer young as the
woman who persists in the fashions OF

AN ENDURING FEE.
+.s.I.s


The number Of marriages in & cOun-
try parish during a year is seldom
large enough to make the fees much of
an addition to the minister's slender
salary, and the fees themselves are
sometimes of a curious nature.
One New England clergyman tells Of
a wedding fee which lasted ten times
as long as any other he ever received,
and which, he believes, has never been
duplicated.
The wedding was that Of a thrifty
widow to an elderly bachelor, who was
sadly in need of just the care and the
feeding he would receive at the widows
hands. The wedding was a lively one,
and as the clergyman was about to de-
part the bride stepped up to him and
whispered:
II sent Henry over with your fee
half an hour ago. He wasn't in a po-
sition to give you one, but l told him
he could lug it over, and that would
show his good will. hope you'll like
it; you always have"
W uSn the Iedc1lCu his house
he was greeted by his wife, whom the
six-weeks-old baby had kept at home
that evening.
1.-The bridegroom brought over your
fee a while ago." she said, in a voice
shaking with laughter. II had him put
it out in the kitchen"
That's a pretty place for a wedding
fee!'' cried the minister, as he hur-
ried out to the kitchen, followed by his
wife
There he found his fee-two dozen
glass jars, bearing neat labels which
set forth the nature of their contents
six of "currant jell," six of "spiced cur
rants" six of grape jam" and six Of
sweet pickle"
1--WE laughed over that fee more than
any other" said the minister, 'but we
also had more solid enjoyment out of
it than out Of any other I've ever re
ceived."

John Burroughs, the delightful writer
on nature topics, was a pioneer in the
fight on the nature fakirs," and of
course he strongly approves the Presi-
dents campaign against them. He has
indorsed every word of the recent mag
aZine interview with Mr.. Roosevelt on
the harm done by the use OF too much
Imagination in alleged descriptions Of
the wilderness and of animal life, and
has associated himself with the demand
that the "Munchausen yarns about our
wild animals" be stopped forthwith.
The campaign against Inc mature ia
kris will be welcomed by every friend
Of the animal kingdom. Indeed, it may
be regarded as a natural extension of
the warfare on cruelty to animals. We
may, in self-defense, be compelled to
kill q bear or q wolf occasionally, and
even in the interests Of healthy sport
and the physical and moral courage OF
the human race big game" may have
to be sacrificed. But the least we can
do is to stop slandering and misrepre-
senting our wild animals. The fact
that they cannot protect themselves
against literary attacks should make a
popular appeal to the sentiment of JUS
tice. Besides, we suffer enough from
unbridled romanticism and sensation
alism in fiction dealing with men and
women to endure the carrying Of these
tendencies into wild Africa or wild
America, and into so-called nature
studies. We take up nature books
largely to secure relief from the de-
ceptions and hypocrisies of convention
al and third-rate noveltists, and we are
entitled to the truth, the exact truth
and to nothing but the truth, in the
stories about animals. Away with mis-
placed romaticism Let us be true to
nature in books about nature, if we
cannot be true to nature in any other
class Of literature If the Roosevelt
Burroughs protests against the mixing
Of fact and fiction and the perversion of
natural history shall fall on deaf ears
and fail to discourage the nature fax
irs," it will become necessary to ask
the publishers to divide their nature
books into realistic and romantic and
properly label them. We have pure
food laws to protect the body why not
pure mental food laws to protect the
mind?

cars went smoothly along without the
horses, his son said:
