A good idea for one who likes TO
write interesting letters is to make
notes on the envelopes of unanswered
letters, jotting down things from day

when the time comes for the leisure
to answer the letter, the suggestions

Suicide Among German Children.

Why do so may German children
commit suicide? No one seems to
know, but there is no dispute about
the fact Indeed, it has been said that
the majority of suicides are those of
children, and experts seem inclined to
connect the grisly epidemic with the
educational system. That "the weak
must go to the WALL has become an
axiom that has been extended to the
schools, and the undeveloped mind of
the child seeks relief in suicide from
the Encouragement of failure. 1t
would be interesting to know if any of
the so-called heather countries of the
world have ever experienced such a
horrid social phenomena as that of
child suicide.

Makers Of Alcohol.

Had saloons never been discovered,

tray the effects of such a discovery,
all men, without exception. would de-
clare 1t impossible to conceive Of any
more diabolical plan for the degrade
ton and destruction of the human
race. Our greatest foes are the manu-
facturers and distributors of alcohol.
The stories Of injuries done by drink

of many of our greatest men; are so
evident throughout our land in squa-
lor, poverty misery, and crime, and
replete in prisons, warehouses; and
asylums as well as in domestic infelic.

intelligent, rational man can deny the

SERVING A DINNER.

Serving a dinner, like manners, can
not be done without daily practice to
have things run smoothly If the maid
who serves you is allowed to do 1t In
careless, shipshod manner when no
guests are present, she will blunder
and become nervous from too much to
remember when guests are present.
The daily habit of doing things as
nicely as possible can always be
read by those who run"
AS there is a vast majority of peo-
pie who have no maid, or who hire
one for an occasion, If she is well

tee will make it anything but bore.
In serving, do not overload the
plate. At large dinner no one will
ask for a second helping. 1t Is always
considered tribute to the cook to
ask for second helping If such has
been provided, when few guests are
present.
The dishes outside the subject,
otherwise "hors d'oeuvres." come
with the soup, and may be placed be-
fore the dinner is announced, which is
the usual custom. These consist OF
such things as olives, radishes, celery
and such accessories. Radishes are
usually removed with the soup, but
sailed nuts are passed during the en-
tire meal.
Foods that are hot should be served
on hot plates, and cold foods on we'll

is often entirely neglected and will
spoil an otherwise delightful meal
