When YoE Write Abroad.

In writing to France or Italy, q post
master pointed out tho other dny, the
address should. be printed, for the
printed characters Of French, Italian
and English are alike, but Of the writ
ten ones this Is not true. The capital
letter T. for instance, Is written in
France and Italy like G.. The top
stroke Is made as with us, but the
downward stroke curves to the right
instead Of to the left. Our G Is taken
for y ehread. Our T Is taken for I
or J. 1t is important therefore to print
Instead Of to write proper names on
foreign letters. A letter addressed in
writing to. for instance, man named
Treat would be thought by the French
and Italian to be addressed to Treat,
and ia the general delivery department
OF the postoffice 1t would be placed In
the I instead Of In the r compartment.
Thus when MIR. Treat called for his
mail search OF compartment T would
reveal nothing for him, and his letter,
hidden among the I'g, would never be
delivered. -.
