Forged Autographs.

To forge autographs is one Of the
fine arts, more lucrative than some,
and harmless as any. A vast amount
of indignation has been lavished on the
professors thereof by enthusiasts, and
not a few may have repented their IN
genuity in prison but the public has
regarded this form of evil doing with
charity and diversion. 1t Will be
rather amused than distressed or
Infatuated by the announcement that
a series of forged letters ascribed to
Thack cray has been bought at a
shop in london, and it would rather
like to see a copy. They are chiefly
addressed to a certain "Dear Ned"
and the imitation of the handwriting,
as is admitted by Mrs. Ritchie-the
brilliant satirist's brilliant daughter
"is distressingIy clever, ;" but they
betray themselves. One bears the
address "Kensington", at a date when
the family lived in OnsIow Square
and a second has the postal letter W.
in 1919, while the district initials
were only introduced in 1853. No
prophetic power has been attributed
to T~hackeray which would enable
him to foresee the arrangements Of
the General Post Office. 1t seems
almost a pity to the outside world
that these letters are proved spurious,
for one of them, published, is full Of
matter, if severe, and another is
quite as funny as could be expected
in a private communication, although
Mrs Richie pronounces it "Iudicrous-
ly unlike anything my father could
ever have written" The moral of the

The " Times" on COUnteFU0iEing
Duties.

1t il maintained by the opponents OF
the bounty system, and the advocates
Of counteryailing duties that the
reduction IN the price of sugar
through the operation of the bounties
amounts to e. a ton. They appear,
however, to have scarcely realized
what this means. AS Mr., Giffen OBJ
serves, it is neither more nor less than
"a gain" of over $4,000, 900 annually
to the people of the :" United King
dom" Against this gain is to be set
any injury that may be proved to be
done to the West Indian sugar grow
ing business and the refining industry
at home. Bat the total value OF the
annual production of sugar in the
West Indies is only G4,500,000, or
half a million less than the yearly gain
to English consumers by the estima-
ted reduction in price. The amount
of the fixed capital invested in the
sugar refining business is only
G2,11O,0O0. These interests are not
comparable with those of the con-
sumers and of the manufacturers who
rely upon a cheap and abundant sup
ply of sugar as raw material. 1t
does not seem from the official sta
tistics that even in the refining bust
ness there has been any falling off in
the demand for skilled labour, but
even if it were so, the cheap and plen-
tifuI supply of sugar has developed
other industries which more than,

JONES always remembers to forget tho
articles which his wife tells him to buy.
His memory is excellent for that. He has
tried a new plan lately, and it works an
well as could be expected. He writes all
the things on paper, and then-torgets the
paper.
THE greater longevity of women as
compared with men appears to be we'll
borne out by the statistics Of every coun-
try that have yet been examined. This
shows that, after all, it is not tight dresses,
heavy skirts, and thin shoes that kill. 1t
is paying for them.
AN exhibitor Of wild beasts in Paris

his animals, and he has never lost a penny.

WESTERN LIFE.
Aymer.

With only team and few dollars the
emigrant determines to make himself home
in the wilds of Nebraska. His first care is to
build sod house, as he must have shelter.
That done, about the middle of May he COM
mences breaking prairie, and if he has a
good horse team, succeeds in getting from
forty to sixty acres broken by the middle of
June A few acres of the first breaking are
usually planted with corn, dropped into cut
made through the sod with an axe, which in
cision is closed upon by the foot of the
planter This cannot be cultivated, and is
wholly at the mercy of the season. Half the
time it is failure, but of favorable season
yields twenty or thirty bushels to the acre.
Melons, pumpkins, and sqashes usually do well
on sod, and turnips sown in midsummer
seldom fail. In the fall he "back-sets" his
ground with his breaking pillow, taking an
inch or so of ground from below the spring
breaking. The ground should not be plowed
deeper than it is thoroughly rotted. The
ground is now ready for the crop, and his
wheat is sown the last of February, or in
March. He has plenty of work to do, and
hard work at that. No chance to make
money escapes him. The first year or two is
almost invariably one of hardships and priva-
tions for the average homestead. The weak
or shiftless ones usually give way in despair
and turn eastward. The resolute ones stay,
and soon have comfortable homes But no
young man should go west unless he is pre-
pared to work hard in the face of many diff
culties.

The husband of Mrs. Macrea. who died
suddenly at Montreal of drink told the coro-
ner that he could give the corpse to the medi-
cal faculty for dissection, as he did not
want it.
If the wives of all the husbands who g die
OF drink should make similar disposition
of the dead bodies of their "liege lords the
medical schools would not be driven to dis
reputable methods of obtaining subjects
for dissection, as they are now, at times.
There would be an ample and continuous
supply.
