HABIT OF LETTER WRITING
One of the Best That Can Be Aequirsd and 10 Ono That Makes
 Friends.

Don't get into the habit of saying that you hate to write letters. Many a friendship has been broken by neglect ing to answer letters.
 Letter writing is decidedly not a forte with some women--they think it bore, and keep their correspond ence as far as possible within the very narrowest limits. Others don't trou- ble even to answer letters when they get them.
 "Oh! you know I'm a wretched cor respondent" they will say in excuse.
 The woman who can talk on paper to the person to whom she is writing, almost in the same way and with the same fiuency as she would talk to her were they together in the same room, Is by far the most successful letter writer.
 A good correspondent nearly always writes as she speaks.
 It is one of the unwritten laws of etiquette not to begin a letter with the pronoun .I."
 This is always a point which should be remembered in letter writing.
 It Is always a wise plan to answer letters within a few days. In this way

 Man-Drlven Planes.

Before the invention of the aero plane many attempts were made to invent flying machines in which man power alone would be employed. All these attempts, however, ended in failure.
 Mathematicians have now estimated that man is far too heavy to be sus- tained in the air by the power of his own muscles, no matter how large may be the wings that he fastens to his body. Among birds the weight limit is approached most closely by the Australian crane, which flies, al though 1t weighs 20 pounds.
 An aeroplane using three horse power can be built, experts say, which will sustain a man, but as the best athletes can exert only maximum of two horsepower for 15 seconds at a time, mans dream of initiating the flight of great birds can never be real ized. He always will be dependent on 8 machine.

WHAT LIGHTS THE VOLCANO7
Eruptions May Be Caused by Heating Water In the Follows of
 the Earth.

A volcano is a great hollow noun tain. It is named for Vulcan, the Roman god who was supposed to deal with fire, because fire comes out of 1t. A volcano has hole at the top called the crater, and this hole seems to lead down into the hot interior of the earth.
 The inside of the earth is always hot, yet volcanoes are by no means al- ways in eruption, as it Is called when they throw out fire and ashes. It must be, then, that something happens which sets the volcano in activity. The possible cause may be guessed from the location of the great vol. canoes, which, like Vesuvius, Etna and Hecla. are near the sea.
 It may be that the volcano commu nicates with the earth under the sea, and water passes into the hot interior hollow and creates vast quantities of steam or gas. This gas Is formed un- der great pressure. It must get out somewhere and so finds it's way to the crater and escapes with terrific force, sometimes carrying huge masses of rock high into the air.

THOUGHT HIM A PREACHER
American Diplomat Victim of an Amusing Mistake in the Yosen,-
 lte Valley.

Madame mann-Lindencrcne, author of the book, "The Sunny Side of Diplomatic Life" tells of an incl dent that happened when she and her husband-then Danish minister to the United States-were travelling in the West. They were spending Sunday in the Yosemite valley, when immedi- ately after breakfast a man knocked at their door and with huns and haws said he had been sent to ask MT. Hegermann-Lindencrone if he would read the prayers and preach sermon in the drawing-room of the hotel, "it being Sunday and you being a minis ter" J. was a little aghast, not ex- actly understanding, while was shak- ing with laughter at the other end of the room, and would not have inter- fered for worlds for fear of losing a word of the dialogue.
 I read the gospel!' cried J.
 Yes, sir. You're a minister, ain't yer?
 Well, yes, I am, but not the kind you mean
 "The little man said, condescending- ly: We are not particular as to sect. Whether you're a Baptist or Metho- dist, 1t makes no difference as long as you will preach
 U. had difficulty in explaining in his best English that preaching was not a speciality of his."

BROUGHT ACTION TO AN END
Appearance of the Deceased" in chancery Court Blow to Army
 of Lawyers.

It was a suit in chancery, and there was great gathering of the de- ceased's family. quarreling, as rela- tives will, over the division of the spells. The lawyers engaged chuckled, for the suit seemed likely to be pro- longed and complicated.
 There were many lawyers, too, and the judge marveled at the immensity of the deceased mans family as silk and stuff rose in rapid succession, in- troducing themselves with the usual formula: And I, my lord, am for the nephews, or nieces, or fifteenth cousins removed, as the case may be, of the deceased" The procession seemed in- terminable, but at last it came to an end. Then small voice was heard timidly saying from the back of the court, May I be allowed to speak, my lord?"
 There was dead silence as his lord ship adjusted his spectacles and asked, rather dejectedly, Who are you?"
 The answer was, to say the least, unexpected.
 'I am the deceased, my lord" said the modest voice from the back of the court. That ended the action.
 Quite unknown to his relatives, the deceased" had turned up from the wilds of Rhodesia Obviously a man of humor, he must have taken a de light in watching how "the best-laid schemes of mice and men gang aft agley."

 "Gold?" echoed the girl at the small hardware counter in tone of infinite scorn. Got gold? What I've got is as an iceberg to a small icicle when 1t comes to golds. But I thought had a good time getting it, M'ree!"
 "Howjuh do it?" inquired the girl with the robespierre collar.
 "Why. the Jolly Rover Social club gave midsummer party the other night" explained the afflicted one.

 We had the party at the hall," ex- plained the girl at the hardware coun- ter. And 1t would have been all right only something seemed to go wrong with the heating plant. The president of the club said he told the janitor to have it hotter than usual. but the jani- tor must have got mixed and done the opposite. So when we came in dressed in white organdies and such things everybody turned purple almost at once.
 Now, 1t doesn't help girls temper to know that she's a light heliotrope tinge and she cant be her own sweet self when she realizes that she has a bright red nose and goose pimples on her hands and arms! So everybody started with bad temper. Jimmy said stepped on his feet, but I didn't 1t was his last summer shoes that were too small for him and his feet were numb from cold, anyhow.

 Then we sat in circle and ate Ice cream and our throats froze up till we ought a called a plumber and every body said, Amt we having fine timer And Jimmy glowed till I was afraid his face would crack with the cold and everything. Then finally just as Percy and I were getting some more lemonade, Jimmy grabbed me by the arm.
 ".Say,' he hissed, I've had enough of that sissy fellow trailing after you!
 "Just as drew away, indignant like for nobody can boss me even if 1t is Hmmy-Percy sort of fell against the lemonade bowl and 1t tipped over and soaked Jimmy and me. I'd hate to think it of Percy, but I can't see how he could have upset that bowl without planning it.

He said there were no rules n regulations requiring con- ductor to delay service just because a passenger got frozen to the seat.
