ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS, Cr . ntby Mouse. — Whai a &F.d. sad slory, my d«ar frienct. ?fo wonder it dwelt in" your thoughts, end letu&ed to be shaken off. This puzzle of life und death — the ''"two women gimding coin, cno shall be taken and tho other left" — is as inscrutable to-day as m that ancient tune. Nor is thea-a any word '.f comfort in all our boasted vocabukuy meet that gi'ence. Taav.k you for your' letter. I am sure you know ht.v/ much pleasure it always gives me to hear from you. L]:x.— Thanks, Lex. for your letter. It was so nice of you to write and tell me the kind Ihoughts of me that another had expressed. I think somehow you tinderstandl that in such woik ps mine there luipt always be periods of dci»ies«ioii and misgiving as to the real success of that v.-ork. At such times it is "inpo«i&ible to over-rate the charm and true value, my dear Lex, of such letters as yours. Indeed, I have long since ceased to wonder at your enthusiastic devotion to Emerson, and frankly confess that it was you who in the first place implanted my ever-growing admiration for his writings. Incoknu.— Why, dear, I thought you badi indeed for£aken vs — slipped into the "unknown" of indifieience. I am so glad to welcome you onco more Ted — Yes, dear heart, a ltttei —nothing less will expiess all 1 want to say. A. M.- — To remove stains fiom ivory, .take a piece of fresh lime, slake it by sprinkling- it with water, then mix into a paste, which apply with a soft brush. Allow it to dny perfectly before removing it, using a soft bimsh to do so. Should it still remain discoloured, lepest the process. Urgent. — I do not answer questions on law, dear. Your letter has been handed! to the legal editor, and you will find a reply m the "Notes and Queries" column.
