from their places old catalogues and

Let them cut out pictures of trunks

After that have them hunt through the
catalogues for articles to pack in

WOMEN WRITE BEST LETTERS
Men Would Consider Trifles Is
Given as the Reason.

The art of letter writing is consid-
cred by the French an essentially
feminine gift, probably because for
years Ii was the only means of liter
airy expression open to women. But
the real secret of womens ability to
write good letters is that they are not
ashamed to record tribes.
Men feel after they have described
the weather and the state OF their af-
feetions that they have done their
duty. A woman will tell what anoth-
er woman wore, what her best friend
said, who Is rumored engaged to whom,
what two best enemies are not speak
ing. and add, maybe the breakfast
menu. In letters women give a little
of real life and their correspondence
is really written conversation.
Letter writing is a delicate and diff
ieult art, for, aside from its charm
ing features, more harm has been
done by the written word than by all
the foolish converse in the world.
Unkind remarks written are hard to
erase from the heart. A foolish pro-
testation of affection is shame and
grief forever to the writer. Every in
discreet written confidence is q curse
that viii come home to roost with the
inevitability of the barnyard fowl.
Letter writing should be an art
the art of trifles. 1t should be the art
of being interesting, but not compro-
missing.

Unfortunately 1t (the emerald) is
seldom free from flaws, and were this
not the case an emerald would be of
greater value, carat for carat, than the
diamond. Today a good diamond is
worth about $3.50 to $400 per carat,
according to its purity and size, While
an emerald varies in value from $3.50
TO 5000, increasing very rapidly with
size. Flawless emeralds weighing
more than four earats are among the
raiest of jewels; a perfect stone of
four carats is practically priceless,
whereas diamond would bring only

WELL is NATURAL IcEH0USE
Montana Man Has Taken Advantage
of Freak Which Scientists Are
Unable to Explain.

At Thompson Falls In western Mon
tana there is well from which a
small current of air constantly flows.
In summer the air is at 30 degrees
Fahrenheit. which is about that Of a
scientifically constructed refrigerator.
The owner of the land on which the
well is found has built small room
of tightly-fitted lumber over the well,
which is right beside the house in this
room he keeps ali the perishable food
that his family uses. His store is not
far away, and he has built room in
the basement of that building that is
connected with the well by an under
ground pipe. In the pipe there is a
damper that can be closed or opened
by means of chain that runs up
through the floor to the Office above.
There he keeps all the perishable
merchandise that he has for sala
The current of air is very nearly
constant in temperature, the Youths
Companion states. In the winter it is
warmer than the outside air. and the
storeroom can be used to keep articles
from freezing.
No satisfactory explanation of the
reason for this current of air has been
found. No open passage was encoun-
tered when the well was dug, but the
current seemed to come from every di-
rection through the gravel at the bot
tom. At the opening In the basement
of the store the force is sufficient to
blow a handkerchief, held in both
hands, straight out; and hat placed
in the entrance of the pipe is at once
