ANSWERING

People who read a letter, put ii
aside, and later attempt to answer it,
without reference to the contents,
should take TO heart what n writer in
the Atlantic Monthly has to say on
this shortening. We quote this pas
sage:
My dear old grandfather, who wrote
all his own letters in a hand which,
down to the day OF his death, was
almost plain enough for a blind man
TO read, taught me never TO attempt
40 answer a letter without placing 1t
before me and reviewing 1t scrupu-
lousy, paragraph by paragraph. Hun
dreds Of times have I devoutly bless
ed his memory for that lesson in the
common-sense Of correspondence.
Whenever, lured by the pellmell spfr-
it of the age. l stray from his pre-
cepts, l rue it; and 1 a feel the
flush Of shame o~verspread my face as
/ follow q first letter of response with
q second, rendered necessary by the
belated discovery Of q point left un-
covered. The old copybOok legend,
Haste breeds careleSsnesS,' is as true
as it was in the days when good pen
manship and good morals went hand
finland in the training Of youth. Ii
slam-bang and h%urly-burly have given
its coup de grace TO the once gentle art
of writing letters, is not that all the
more reason why, before it is too late.
we should rescue the half-dead art OF
reading them?

A HERO.

A great inundation having taken
place in the north of Italy, owing to
an excessive fall of 10Y in the Alps,
followed by a speedy thaw, the River
Adige carried off a bridge near
Verona,-all except the middle part,
on which was the house of the toll
gatherer. He, with his family, thus
remained imprisoned by the waves,
and in momentary danger of certain
destruction. They were discovered
from the banks stretching forth their
hands, screaming and imploring sue
cor, while fragments Of the only re-

1.-THE EATS" GETTING
SCARCE IN GERMANY

STOCKHOLM, January 22.-The
food situation in Germany has grown
much worse during the last six
months, according to the experience Of
an Associated Press correspondent
who has returned from a trip to Ber-
lin. Potatoes are so scarce that this
weeks per capita ration in Berlin was
less than four and a half pounds.
This is attributed in part to the farmer
Withholding shipments until February
10, when higher prices will be per
mitted, but it is not denied that the
potato crop is insufficient to meet nor
NAL demand.
No cheese has been on the market
since August and eggs are unobtaina-
BILE, except surreptitiously at 16 to 30
cents each. Berlin's daily milk sup
ply is about 100000 litres, against q
normal 100000, and it is impossible
to buy clothing, shoes, stockings or
blankets except by permission of the
police.
