LETTER HEADS. 



A reader wishes suggestions as to the 

 best form of letter head. He finds that 

 some local people fail to understand that 

 he makes up funeral designs, but dis- 

 likes to put ■'Funeral designs a special- 

 ty" upon his letter head or card, as some 

 florists do. 



If he wishes to emphasize the fact that 

 he makes up fiftieral designs and does 

 not wish to mention them especially, he 

 might use the phrase "'Flowers and floral 

 designs for all occasions." 



If we were going to do a general busi- 

 ness covering all departments we would 

 have our card read something like this: 

 "John Smith, Florist, 223 Jones St., 

 Brownville, O. Flowers and Floral De- 

 signs for all Occasions. Decorations of 

 Plants and Flowers for House or Church. 

 Blooming Plants always on hand. Bed- 

 ding Plants in the Spring. Telephone 

 A 42." 



Maybe some of our readers can sug- 

 gest something better than this. 



PRONUNCIATION. 



Replying to (_'. K. tlie correct pronun- 

 ciation of Xephrolepis is Nef-rol-e-pis, 

 with the accent on the second syllable. 

 the o in that syllable having the soiuid 

 of o in not. A pinna (pronounced pin- 

 na, with the accent on the first syllable 

 and the a as in Persia) is one of the 

 primary divisions of a pinnate leaf such 

 as that of the nephroleipis. The plural 

 of pinna is pinnae (pronounced pin-ne, 

 with the accent on the first syllable and 

 the e long as in meat). Pinnate means 

 feathered. 



A pinnule (pronounced pin-ul, with 

 the accent on the first syllable and the 

 u long as in mute) is one of the sub- 

 divisions of a pinna when same is itself 

 feathered. 



The Manual of Business is the title of 

 a very handy volume issued by Daniel 

 Stern, publisher of the American Arti- 

 san, Chicago. It contains a vast amount 

 of information that is very convenient to 

 have where it can be readily referred to, 

 such for instance as the rules regarding 

 drafts, notes, banking customs, making 

 of contracts, liability of principals for 

 acts of agents, mortgages, judgments, 

 etc. 



Minister (to one of his members, a 

 venerable old gardener) : "You have 

 reached a great age, .John." John: 

 "Deed ha"e I, sir, for" gin I leeve till the 

 11th o' next month, I'll be an otogeran- 

 ium." — Glasgow Evening Times.
