Famine Il FinIa q a.

A serious famine prevails in Finland,
and advices from several sources state
that a large portion of the inhabitants
of that country are perilously near
starvation Two hundred thousand
persons Of total population of two
million are entirely daaHtute, and be-
fore the winter ends it is expected that
One-fourth Of the whole number of IN
habitants VIII be in a similar sad
plight. The Firms have hard work to
make a living at tho best of times, be
sause OF the poor soil and rigorous eli
mate. Last summer the potato and
rye crops were either destroyed or seri-
ously damaged by constant night frosts
In July, August and September. Many
districts shown to be in great distress
SIRE now isolated by snow and ice, and
In others the inha bitants are existing
on bread composed largely or wholly
Of birch bark. The Finnish senate has
voted several million marks for the re-
lief of the sufferers, and government
eommittee is trying to cope with the
distress but il is said further help Is
urgently needed by the people.

The art of ''patter" may be best de-
scribed as one of the lowest forms Of
oratory; yet it is surprising how easily
q crowd may be drawn together by a
skilled possessor of the gift. Foremost
among the few requisites of the street
seller, no matter what the nature of his
wares, is the ability to "patter" well,
and one starting in business without
this necessary gift of CAB" would most
likely prove failure at his calling.
Many of the London street patterers
let drop things which are worth hear
ing, either on account of their wit or
their novel audacity. There is one
gutter merchant who comes before the
public nightly with stock of penny
bottles of hair restoror, ard in recon-
mending it he boastfullg claims that
through the fast growing adoption of
his specific the occupation of the wig
makers will soon be entirely gone for
