The president's .mail is of such pro- portiqns that be cannot, like the busi- ness man, read all his letters as a part of the morning's routine. By a care- fully developed system, however, the contents of the White House mail are In substance laid before him each day. The work of doing this falls upon a corps of confidential clerks, who open the letters and give them a first read- ing. Then they are carefully ssorted. Many of them, of course, need not 80 to the president at all, since they are simply recommendations for office. These, after courteous acknowledg- ment, are referred to the proper de- partments and placed on file until they may be taken up for consideration. Many of the president's letters arq purely formal or contain requests for something which' cannot be granted. These the clerks answer and the presi. dent's secretary signs. The requests for charity aré so many that a special "form" has been drawn up for answer- ing them. Such communications as the presi. dent'ought to see are carefully brief-- that is, a slip is pinned at the top of each letter, and on this is a typewrit- ten synopsis of its contents, telling who the writer is and what be has to pre- sent. Frequently the president is suf- ficlently interested by the brief to cause bim to read the whole letter. Some- times the communication is referred to a cabinet officer, in which case the slip is retained at the White House and filed. a z When a large number of persons write on the same subject the letters are bunched and the brief at the top gives the names of those who present one argument and in another list the persons who offer a different view.-- 'New York Press. ' VARIETY OF THE BIBLE. Vivid Descriptions, History and Storfles ¢ of Adventure. One of the striking things about 'the Bible as a single piece of literature is the variety of its literary forms, suffi- clent, indeed, to appeal to the most widely different tastes. There are ex- cellent examples of the short story all through the historical books, such as the absorbingly 'interesting account of Joseph sold into slavery and afterward elevated to a position next to Pharaoh himself and the intensely realistic story of Paul's shipwreck, which, were it not too well written, might be an ex- tract from some book of adventure. The' books of which many of these short stories form a part constitute a body of most intimate and fascinating tribal and national history. Wedged in between two ofsthe historical books we find the story of Ruth, a "prose idyll," as delightful as any of which profane literature can boast . The Book of Esther, though not in form a drama, has a plot of dramatic power, J.er's shop. in which Haman, who is raised to tri- umphant satisfaction at the thought of hanging Mordecal upon the gal- lows, becomes himself the victim of his own vengeance. v At the end sfinds that wonderful Apocalypse, which is at once an in- spiration and a mystery, full of bean ty and rich cadences.

What are the odds against a drjaper's assi assistant becoming a peer of the realm and a millionaire? ~What- ver the odds, they have been sur- ted by Lord hen, who shas entered upon his eighty-fourth 'year. The first Colonial Peer, his father was a journeyman carpenter in the little Banffshire town of Duff- town. It was there that the future baron was born, and in the small par- ish school he was educated. As a lad he herded cattle in his native glen, going after a time to serve an apprenticeship in an Aberdeen Buh Aberdeen < Flas W'Was & natural. step, rom ona farther "Sooth" @ still more for the ambitious young, ment in a big city« ouse which' did business with the colonies. One day a customer from Montreal looked in, and the smart young Scot was de- puted to wait on him. The purchas- ing finished, the assistant made out an. order, .angd signed, it in: the usual way. The man from Montreal, notici the signdtare, suspicious, proceeded to ask a few questions. The upshot of it all was that in the sales man from Banffshire the colonial found' a cousin. An invitation to Can. ada followed, and in very few months George Stephen became his cousin's partner in the latter's business. From that moment success followed him. Abundantly gifted with racial gift, he rose in time to be president of the Bank of Montreal and head of the ' Canadian Pacific Railway. It was in Lord connection with the latter that Mountstepher's best work was done with Canada, and it was for this that he received, first his Baronetcy, and later his Peerage. True to the land that gave him fortune, he took his title the great mountain--named after himseli--which looks down upon the railway as it winds its way through the Rockies, Lord Mountstephen has - inherited all the quiet humor of his race, He tells one capital story against him- self.

Farmer Should Treat His Boy as Well as the Hired Man. ? It is all very well for Senator Camp- bell, in Parligment to lament the exodus of our young men from the drudgery of farm life to the so-called gentlemanly occupation 'of the city, and to advocate that the Government should do more to make farming life 80. attractive to the sons of our agri- culturists that they will, in choosing a life occupation, decide to remain on the homestead. The greatest hind- rance to keeping young men on farms rests more with their fathers than with any paternal Government. At Lome, when the lad is spending 'part of his time at school, it is a plemsant relaxation to him to fill up his spare bours doing chores, and looking after the horses and stock in a yish fashion; but when the time arrives for him to leave school altogether, and he takes a regular place on the farm as a helper, after the first gloss of novelty has worn off, f life its fascination, and hé yearns for pome employment that will not only be less laborious, but more re. muperative, to himself. He sees ag hired man receiving wages, and work- ing only a limited number of io per day; but he sees himself, save in very exceptional cases, the recipient of a. miserable allowance of pocket money, doled out, of! ili at. uncertain times, neglects or refuses to perform. working hours have no limit, and his recreational periods are spoiled for him, because he is too tired jo, Dap. ticipate in any enjoyment after he is through with his own work, and has cleared up the arrears left by others.

The man His drap- remedy must be provided in the home; the son must be put on no lower plane than the hired help; he must be encouraged to like his work; and, so far as possible, the charms of his i aspirations must be made a continous living feature of his every-day life. Then, but not until then, the exodus from the land will be no longer accepted as a necessary evil.--Calgary News-Telegram. %¥ Luminous Fish Found.
