!- 'he cae of both classes of V'tifinpR the sentimental and the . the earliest manufactured valentines those of mor t! ii, a rentury ago were preceded by home-mnde valen- '. which had voguo during a considerable ern. So gentrii as the exchange of these home-made valentines that u. i- in tho form of "Valentino Writers" or books of approp".i'' en.es wero regularly published for the Inspiration f young poojile who desired to prepare such epistles. Just as ":i:mrs of r ady-prepared letters yot find some sale among i u''.n youths of little imagination who desire to appoar to te Usit advutitago as sentimental correspondents. Most of t. f taintirn- writers" were designed for tho sentimental of th.- public, but there were some prepared especil y for the scribblers with a sense of humor. Fur instance, there was published along about the last il igbteenth century "The Quizzical or Satirical Valent'!.' Writer." the character of which may well be surmised f-o:n tlip title. This, allko to most others of Its kind, hoenmo nr. nt.nual publication nnd was looked forward to each year

) tni as me appearance or tne aimanac ior mu rw ear was anticipated with keen interest. Ar.uthor of these forerunners of our present-day mir valentines was published In London during the same period and bore the highly slgnlflant mio- "Hymen's Revenge Against Old Maids. O .1 Ha belors. and Impertinent Coxcombs; or a Nf-w Valentine Writer. Being n Collection of Val-T.tifi-8 Humorous and Satirical, chlelly original. rutin expressly for this work." S"tno Idea of the caustic ammunition prod by these helpers of the composers of valen'T.fs may bo formed from the following spedfr.iti u-rse addressed "To a Lady Who Squints:"

I had threo good doctors but none of them did any good. I then used one box of Cuticurn Olntraont and threo bottles of Cuticura Resolvent and was completely cured. My hands wero raw all over, inside and out, and tho eczema was spreading all over my body and limbs. IJeforo I had used one bottle, together with tho Cuticura Ointment, my sores wore noarly healed over, and by tho Urao I had used tho third bottle, I was entirely well. To any one who has any skin or blood dlsoaso I would honestly advlso them to fool with nothing else, but to get Cuticura and get woll. My hands havo never given mo tho least bit of trouble up to now. "iMy daughter's hands fhls summer became perfectly raw with eczema. Sho could get nothing that would do them any good until sho tried Cuticura. Sho used Cuticura Resolvent and Cuticura Ointment and in two weeks they wore entirely cured. I have used Cuticura for other members of my family and it always proved successful. Mrs. M. E.

The Cagey Bachelor. The woman who wanted the bachelor to come to dinner called him up at his rooms. "Hello." she said, adding in the irr! tatlng way of women, "do you know who this is?" The tactful bachelor didn't, but In was too diplomatic to admit it. "Ht'llo, beautiful lady," he made an swer.

the pulling of a string changed the whole aspect of the picture In that the head of the woman was suddenly replaced by that of a parrot. Later tho manufacturers of comic valentines struck what might be termed the standard form of grotesque, highly colored caricatures which has endured to this day with only such changes as have been dictated from time to time by the edicts of fashion In dress, etc.

Robin Redbreast's Valentine

One of the most novel features of the begine ns of the comic valentine craze was the aph.r;inre of tradespeople's valentine writers con- ' Mng all sorts of verse especially designed to oi ; ly to devotees of tho various vocations and I rs of mercantile trade. Such a reference work t ade a good-sized volume, for, In order to bo ' rajlete. It had to embody verses for every ir aglnable trado and occupation. There were s "tue sentimental tributes Included In each volune of this character, but for the most part the C' tifonts consisted of more or less humorous ft fi rrnccB. The system was certainly a convenient one. t r not only wero gibes and nppenls provided, ' t there was also nppended favornble and unfavorable replies for each such advance, so that tbe recipient of ono of tho valentines thus de- ' d had only to consult the book In order to certain tho proper reply. For Instnnce, a gror could nddress his lady love as follows: Your breath la ftll-nplce 1 declare. And you're no neat nnd linndy. That you're as weet, I think, my fair, An plums or 8UKir candy, fie favorable. 1 Implore, These versen kindly welRh; And If you will my heart rentore, 111 treat you to some tea. However, the lovelorn grocer was liable to "ply to this effect: Your letter I've weighed. Am truly nfrald Mnn pounds you're deficient In weight: An no Mr. Grocer. I'd have yot know, Sir, 1 rare not n flu for your treat. With tho Introduction of manufactured valn'lnes tho comics kept pace with tho sentimenvariety. Among tho earliest and most Intering or the humorous products of the early valfi'liio manufacturers wore transformation pictures, which convoyed hidden or doublo moan,n8 A notable example waB tho design which presented at first glance the figure of an attrac

A girl and a boy wandered forth into a fair, pleasant garden that looked like fairyland, although It was wintry weather. Suddenly the girl spoke. "I wish St Valentino had had tho snowdrop instead of tho crocus dedicated to him." And as she spoko she knelt down and, raising one of the white, drooping flowers, sho gazed lovingly nt Its pure white petals and nt the delicate green tracery of the leaves of Its Inner cup. "Ah!" said she, "what have you been waiting for so long? . w "Under the mow, tinder the snow. With your Ivory heads nil bendlni? low. How many secrets you must know!

The boy' looked at her wonderlngly.l "How can the flowers know anything?'

asked. "Everything knows something," returned Leila, dreamily; "but the flowers are dumb and cannot tell ono their thoughts only their benuty speaks, and their frngrnnco breathes sweet thoughts Into one's heart that one tries to put Into words. Dut that Is almost Impossible." "Of course It Is," answered her companion. "Now, It Is qulto different with tho birds; they can mnko themselves understood. They sing songs of thanksgiving and their note of Joy or mourning Is easy to tell. They scold nnd chatter as the Jackdnw and rook, or screech like tho owl, or sing n serenade as the nightingale And ono of them spenks even more clearly, for when he cries 'cuckJ, cuckoo,' we know that tho summer Is coming. No wonder St Valentine cared for the birds, and you seo that they are all fluttering out and Blnglng a Joyful socg In honor of his birthday." "Yes," said Leila, softly The birds In prlnx Sweet chorus sin To good SL Valentine. "See, thcro are two sitting on a bough whispering to each other of tho spring nnd summer dnvs and all that Is going to happen; where they shall live and how they shall build their nests And thero nro two more flying toward them and two more always In pairs.

Young girls appear to experience no tatlgue after It They will not miss a single waltz, polka or square dance, but If the pulse of one of theso Indefatigable devotees Is felt after the dance Is llnlshed It will be found In the majority of cases that the number of pulsations Is far In excess of the normal, nnd from this It may bo Inferred that the condition of tho heart must react prejudl dally upon tho entlro organism, and It Justifies an apprehension of danger to delicate girls.

on Valentine's day each bird chooses Its mata. "Of course," answered tho boy. "And the snowdrops aro nodding their heads, as if they wero keeping time to the birds' song." continued Leila. "Doubtless they have been waiting to do honor to St. Valentine. They havo been lying patiently under tho snow nnd now thnt the warmer day has como they nro saying, Ve belong to tho wreath that tho flowers weave for Valentine's day.'" WHY WE GIVE VALENTINES.

Long ngo thero lived a priest named Valen

tino. This good mnn wns noted in nil tho coun-

d for his kindness. Ho nursed tho sicK,

comforted tho sorrowing nnd was nlways ready to give help to anyone who was In need. Valentino dearly loved tho children and those who went to him for food or clothes wero never turned away. After this kind priest became too old to go among his people ho was very sad becauso he thought ho could no longer bo of any help to them. Then he remembered that he could write loving messages to tho sick nnd sorrowing. Soon his friends began to watch for tho kind words that wero sure to como whenever Borrow or Joy entered their homes. Even little children would say, when they wero sick, "I think Father Valentino will send mo n letter to dny." Dut after n tlmo no moro letters wore revived and soon tho news wont abroad that good old Valentine was dead. Then every ono said that such n man was good enough to bo called a snlnt and since then ho has been known as SL Vnlentlno. It was not long until people celebrated his birthday by sending loving messages to their friends. Tho notes nnd letters containing theso messages were called valentines. This all happened years ago, but good St. Valentine Is still remembered on tho fourteenth of each Februarj'.
