Personality in Handwriting.

Persons writing naturally do so
without thought regarding the peculiar
construction of their writing. The
hand operates the pen as it were auto.
matically. through the sheer force OF
habit, by which all the innumerable.
personalities are unconsciously i'm
parted to writing. Learners and forg-
ers think respecting their writing, and
hence, the more stiff and formal style
of their work; there is wanting the
easy, graceful flow, apparent in
thoughtless or habitual writing. Lines
show more of nervousness and hesitan-
cy while the whole construction of the
writing is more exact and formal; and,
besides, every different handwriting
abounds in we'll nigh numberless habit
ual peculiarities, of which the writer
himself is unconscious, and cannot.
therefore, avoid. Thus, two other in
surmountable difficulties are placed in
the way of the forger: First, to observe
and initiate all the characteristics of
the writing he would simulate; and,
second to note and avoid all the habitual
characteristics of his own hand. Habit
in writing becomes so fixed and arbi-
trary (not to mention the great artistic
skill required to exactly initiate an I'M
practiced hand), that / do not conceive
it to be possible for anyone to simulate
the writing of another, or to so dis
semble his own writing, in any consid-
cradle quantity, as to defy detection
through really skilled expert exami-
nation.-IHe Counting Room.

The Coaching Craze.

Why, then, do well-brought-up young
ladies find coachmen irresistible? Some
of our most fashionable men, the repre-
sentatives of our oldest families, devote
their entire time during the summer to
driving coaches. In order to initiate
more closely the professional coachman
they condescend to receive pay for
their work. When Maj. Able drives a
coach and carries passengers for dol
lar each from one roadside hotel to an
other he is admired for the thorough
ness of his efforts to initiate real
coachman. Ladies, young and old who
take passage in his coach are delighted
with the closeness of his resemblance
to real English coachman, and young
men who have neither the time nor the
ability to drive coaches, regard him
with the utmost respect. For the last
three years fashionable society has
shown that it regards an amateur
coachman as the noblest work of-of-
well, as particularly noble work, and
the more indistinguishable in dress and
manner the amateur coachman is from
the professional coachman the more he
is admired. Now, what is the natural
effect of this state of things upon the
daughters of fashionable society?
They are inevitably led to believe that
the professional coachman is the high
est type of man.-Nes0 York Times.

Marvellous Slate-Writing.

At Mofitt's gallery we saw photo
graph taken from some writing on q
Slate. This slate, which by the way is
a double or pair of states, belongs to
a well-known citizen of so years of
age. He took the pair of states to Bos-
ton, after having first tied them to-
gether tightly and attaching sealing
wax in four places. Calling upon a
spirit medium there he asked for a gen.
uine test of spirit-writing. He did not
let the slate leave his hand once. He
was told to place it on his head and
hold it there with one hand, taking
hold of the mediums hand with the
other. lie could hear the writing 60
ing on. In ten seconds the writing was
done He left Boston and came to a
relatives house in Springfield. Not
till he reached his sleeping-room did he
break the sealing-wax, and then he saw
the message. The handwriting was
instantly recognized as that of de-
ceased sister and brother. The citizen
is an honest man, and would not know
ingly be a party to any imposition.

A Wonderful Dog.

Philip Baird, man about 40 years
of age, arrived in the city to-day on his
way east, and told pitiable tale of suf-
fering in the western part of Manitoba.
In his own words he says:
81 had only got my harvest done
when one night l awoke to find my
room brightly illuminated. l under
stood its meaning at once, and made
all haste to dress and get my wallet OF
money, nearly $4,000, and get out of
the cabin. 1t was as l suspected, the
dreaded prairie fire. Away in the hor-
lion could notice its rapid advance.
l knew that my only way of escape
was in hasty flight. My horse was
roaming over the prairie, and [ could
not afford to look for him, so along
with my faithful dog Iplodded my way
as rapidly Us possible toward the Bow
River. The distance was ten miles,
and whether could make it or not I
did not take time to consider, but ran
as never did before. How lasted
the distance is problem to me. l
reached the bank of the river as the
raging flames were within hundred
yards, and as l was standing there
dazed my dog took hold of me and
with a sudden jerk pulled me head
foremost into the river. The cool wa
tiers revived me, and l stayed there I'M
til the flames leaped the river and were
licking up the dry grass on the other
side. Several buffalo were in the river,
having been driven by the flames. I
had no home any more, and knew not
what to do. wanted to go back and
look at the place where my home was,
but knew there was nothing there for
me any more. Then the first thought
dawned upon ME that had no means
of Sustenance, not even tirearm to as
sist me in securing game. l started
down river, intending to keep by. its
course until reached the Sasketche-
wan, thus making sure of something
to drink if nothing to eat. The route
was good deal the longest, but the
safest, and plodded on. That night
was tired and hungry when laid
down to rest. Strange to say l slept
sound and awoke with prodigious
appetite. To appease it my dog had a
fine prairie rabbit in front OF me. He
had not touched it himself after killing
it, but bv the wishful way he watched
the dead animal l knew he was as hun

On the 4th of January last the stu
dents of Paris made manifestation
before M. Chevreuhs house. with their
flags flying, in honor-anticipating the
daY by a few months-of the one hun

delegates from the body were received
in person by NJ. Chevreul, when NJ.
Deicambre, President of the Association
of Students, spoke in eulogy of the
great sarant by whom France is honor
ed. and who, reaching his hundredth
year, still remained robust and valiant,
and preserved all the force of his gem
ius and his old energy in work. In
concluding his address, NJ. Delcambre
said: .'Illustrious and beloved master,
the students of all the schools have
ioined in this manifestation because

progress of humanity; as Frenchman,
YOU have added to the grandeur oi

touched by this demonstration, and
thanked the students with a voice
marked by emotion. NJ Delcambre
