ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

There has lately been a revival of talk concerning the probable starting of a new weekly paper on what are called up-to-date lines. The following strange document, which was picked up in a main street yesterday, would seem to be an Answers_ to Correspondence column designed for insertion in some paper or other. It does not appear to fit the style and purpose of established journals, and is only published here for its quaintness. B.W. (Christchurch).—Unable to say what is Mr. Massc.v's favourite flower. Better ask him'. . . ; . F.M.B.jj'.—Not much greater proportion of Suratura consumed in Invercargill and Oamaru than in other centres. Suratura is drunk everywhere as the regular beverage of the~household, independently of liquors, consumed" to pass the time aqd retard the course of business. . . . J.J.N.—No; modern conditions prevail now. The spicy breezes of Ceylon are being gradually extirpated by the Health Department. .. . Mary P.—ln a thrifty household the child would not have been allowed to swallow money. Hold the baby deteiw minedly upside down and shake gently till you get a refund. .. . A..R.B.—Sir Joseph Ward will bo 29 next Martinmas. He was never in opera, except as an amateur. ... Jessie M'Kay.—To make potato salad,' gather the potatoes young with the dew on them. Wipe gently with an old silk handkerchief, peel till they are quite white, and boil twenty minutes in water into which you have dropped four teaspoonsful of sal volatile. Slice and sorve cold with whipped cream, slightlv flavoured with garlic. Garnish with hard-toiled recent eggs. (2). Suratura Tea is an excellent corrective for poetic seizures or any othernervous disorder. Two cups, thrice daily. . .', C. Wilson.—"D" quality at 2s. or "X" at 2s. Id. should suit you. (2) Certainly not; all alcoholic liquors are injurious to very young men. . . . N.M.—Sorry j-ou can't sell your other sorts. But Suratura is pure Ceylon, without any cheap admixture, and the public have a way of finding these things out. 8
