EPISTOLARY AFFECTATION.
The Art of Letter Writing In the Olden
Times.
Not infrequently complaint is
made in the magazines and more
conservative newspapers that the
art of letter writing has been lost;
that the grace and charm as exempli
fied in the correspondence of writers
in other days find no parallel in
this matter of fact period.
Answer is usually returned that
the man or woman of today is too
busily engaged to permit of their in
dulgence in the epistolary affecta
tions of olden times. Certainly the
letter writers of those days enjoyed
the advantage of great leisure. It is
difficult otherwise to account for
their prodigality of phrasing.
Lady Pomfret, we are told, pre
sented to Lady Hereford a pair of
alabaster vases and received in re
turn a letter of thanks fitted to the
times.
“There is,” wrote the recipient of
the vases, “an elegance in them su
perior to anything I ever saw, and
yet, inestimable and beautiful as
they are in themselves, their being
a mark of your friendship enhances
their value to me even beyond their
merit. I sit and look at them with
admiration for an hour together. I
have not a room in the house worthy
of them, no furniture good enough
to fit with them—in short, I find a
thousand wants that never entered
my head before. lam grown ambi
tious all at once and want to change
my house for a palace and to ran
sack all the cabinets in Europe for
paintings, sculptures and other curi
osities to place with them.”
Even Lady Pomfret, who was her
self a pretty fair phrasemaker,
seems to have been a little abashed
by her friend’s enthusiasm.
“You quite confound me, dear
madam,” she replied, “with the en
comiums you bestow upon a couple
of alabaster vases fit only for the
obscurity of a grotto and very justly
make me blush for having sent so
trifling a present.”
This extravagant diction is equal
ed by that of the Princess Craon
when writing to Sir Horace Wal
pole. After thanking Walpole for
some trifle the princess says:
“The generosity of your friend
ship for me, sir, leaves me nothing
to desire of all that is precious in
England, China and the Indies.”—
Chicago Record-Herald.
A Delicate Distinction.
The architect of the new tewn
hall, which was almost finished,
wished to know what people thought
of it. So he strolled over to “Jer
rold’s Livery Stable, Boarding and
Baiting,” and nodded to the propri
etor. :
“Fine town you have here.” '
“Ee-ah, pretty fair.” |
“How do you like the new hall?”
“Fine, now that I've got used to
it. Looked a little queer at first.” 1
“What do people think of it ?”
“Most of ’em are satisfied, T
guess.”
“Do they say good things about
it?” |
“Pretty fair. When the walls first
began to show up and we could see
what it was going to look like a
good many folks was disappointed.
That was only at first, thouggx. Now
I guess you’d find there’s more com
ment than criticism.”
What Happened to Jones.
One day a tall, gaunt woman,
with rope colored hair and an ex
pression of great fierceness, strode
mto the office of a county clerk in
West Virginia.
“You air the person that keeps
the marriage books, ain’t ye?” she
demanded.
“What book do you wish to see,
madam ?” asked the polite clerk.
“Kin you find out if Jim Jones
was married ?”
Search of the records disclosed
the name of James Jones, for whose
marriage a license had been issued
two years before.
“Married Elizabeth Mott, didn’t
he 7’ asked the woman.
“The license was issued for a mar
riage with Miss Elizabeth Mott.”
“Well, young man, I’m Elizabeth.
I thought I oughter come in an’ tell
ye that Jim has escaped!”—Har
per’s Weekly.
Unfeeling.
A certain drill sergeant whose se
verity had made him unpopular
with his company was putting a
squad of recruits througg the fu
neral exercise. Opening the ranks
so as to admit the passage of the
supposed cortege between them, the
instructor by way of practical ex
planation walked slowly down the
lane formed by the two ranks, say
ing as he did so;
“Now I’m the corpse. Pay atten
tion.” ,
Having reached the end of the
party, he turned round, regarded
them steadily with a scrutinizing
eye for a moment or two, then re
marked:
“Your ’ands is right, and your
’eads is right, but you ’aven’t got
that look of regret you ought to‘
’ave.”—Pearson’s Weekly, |

An Evasive Answer.
“John,” said a'clergyman to his
factotum, “I shall be very busy this
afternoon, and if any one calls I do |
not wish to be disturbed.” I
“All right, sir. Will I tell them |
you're not in ?” |
“No, John. That would be a lie.”
“An’ what’ll I say, yer rever-'
ence ?”’
“Oh, just put them off with an
evasive angwer.”
At supper time John was asked
if any one had called.
“Yes, there did,” he said.
“And what did you tell him?”,
asked the clergyman. |
“I gave him an evasive answer.”
“How was that?”’ queried his rev
erence.
“He asked me was yer reverence
in, an’ I sez to him, gez I, ‘Was your
grandmother a hoot owl ? ”—Lon

Birds That Bury Nuts.
“Birds as well as squirrels bury
nuts for winter use,” said a Colum
bus teacher who is an amateur or
nithologist. “I have watched jay
birds at work in oak trees in the
fall very often, laying up stores for
winter use. They were as busy as
could be taking the nuts and bury
ing them under the leaves on the
ground. They seem to have instinct
that leads them to find the nuts
again. In fact, I have seen a jay
bird fly down upon the ground and,
thljowmg the snow aside, uncover
and secure a buried apple core.”—
Columbus Disvateh.
A BLACK EYE.
The Proper Way to Treat This Un
sightly Disfigurement.
A black eye is simply a bruise, a
black and blue spot, of the eyelids
and the parts underneath the orbit.
All these tissues being very loose
and spongelike in texture, the blood
which escapes beneath the skin in
all cases of bruising and constitutes
the black and blue mark spreads
very widely and causes great disfig
urement.
Sometimes, if the injury has been
severe, there will be an escape of
blood beneath the membrane cover
ing the eyeball, but the eyeball
itselt usually escapes serious dam
age, owing to its elasticity and to
the efficient protection afforded by
the bony ring forming the edges of
the orbit.
A short time after the injury has
been received swelling of the part
sets in, the skin is reddened and
hot, and there is a feeling of ten
sion, if not more or less actual pain.
This is the time to treat the bruise
in order to prevent as far as possi
ble the formation of the “black
eye.”
If nothing is done, the discolora
tion soon appears, first of a dark
reddish purple color and then al
most black. Later it fades off with
a play of colors, green, blue and yel
low, until gradually all traces of the
accident disappear.
The first thing to do, and that as
goon as possible, is to apply cooling
lotions to the part. A good way to
do this is to keep two small handker
chiefs in a bow! of ice water and
apply them alternately, squeezed dry
and folded four ply. As soon as one
handkerchief grows warm it should
be replaced by the other.
By the end of the first day the
cold applications will have done all
the good they can, and then Land
kerchiefs wrung out of very Lot wa
ter, in which borax or boric acid has
been dissolved, should be applied
and changed every minute or two.
At the same time the discolored part
may be stroked gently with the fin
ger for ten or fifteen minutes at a
time every two or three hours. This
is a tedious process, but it will short
en the sufferer’s period of embar
rassment by three or four days if
persevered in. — Youth’s Compan-
