chlIpREN IN TIE SEA.

10 the Hawaiian lslanhs II u consider
ed a. necessary for children To swim "a
to walk. Indeed most little Hawaiians
can swim before they can walk.
The manner Of teaching them the art
of natation IL very simple. The parents
go down to the seashore and throw the
tiny things into the water; not into the
water Of the ocean, where the surf Ia al
ways strong, but into the briny stiffness
Of some inlet or lagoon. As n rule The
bs bles swim at once. showing that the
human animal Is as well provided as any
other with the natural instinct OF self
preservation. II the infant be too tiny
or too feeble to swim the parents. much
chssrined, dive after II and take Il home,
hoping for better luck next time.
Among the Anglo-Saxons all children
love to wade or paddle by the seashore,
but some Of them make decided fuss
when expected To regularly 90 bathing.
A mother who had weak and timid boy
Of three, for whom daily sea bath was
recommended, settled the matter skill
fully. At the sight Of the big, cool ocean
the bov was so frightened that Il had 4
bad effect on his nerves. The mother was
equal TO the occasion. She had his tin tub
brought to the beach and filed with sea
water. There, except for the fact that
he had on tiny bathing suit, he WAS
tubbed by the nurse just as II he had
been at home. After few days he con-
ceived precocious idea that 1t would
worry his mother who took good care TO
be 10 the water ready for him II he
should jump out Of the tub and follow
her into the ocean. OF course he carried
his idea Into execution. exactly as she
had hoped he would, and her object WAS
achieved without nervousness or worry.

would build from 900 to 500 miles OF

that over 1000 prisoners are still out OF

To the advocates of good roads the
progress made in Europe is full Of en-
enlargement IL was about 1890 before
Macadam was able to arouse Scotch and
English sentiment In favor Of his prof.
ect. He had no army Of wheelmen at
his back to encourage him and to COM
pei the public to listen, but wherever
mile of macadam road was built the
sharp contrast between 1t and the
wretchcd roads about il compelled pub
Ito attention and approval. Telford. the
Scotch engineer, turned aside from his
great engineering projects and gave the
movement his powerful support In less
than 30 years the gospel Of good roads
was spread not only throughout Great
Britain, but through all the settled dis
tricts on the continent Now good roads
Of the macadam or telford type are
everywhere, writes G. NJ. Dickinson in
Home Magazine. Every day in the year
the peasant farmer Of Europe can haul
to market as heavy q load NJ he can
draw across his thrashing floor. He
makes one trip instead Of two or three.

Chauncey Depew, in banquet
speech, made the broad assertion that
bad roads are perpetual evil" The
remark was quoted by New York city
paper and commented on to consid-
cradle extent 1t spoke Of suburban
village not far from Greater New York,
declaring that it was type OF many
villages, as having roads that are liter
ally sloughs for weeks at time every
year. II is said that these village and
country roads are the kind where a
horse sinks at every step to the fetlocks,
frequently to the knees and sometimes
30 far down into the thick mud that it
is necessary to haul him out with dou-
BILE teams
That text is q suitable one from
which to talk on the good roads or bad

newspaper. in business circles, any
where, for every one knows that dad
roads are perpetual evil" No wonder
that the brightest and best young men
living in eastern villages aud cities
that are cursed with bad roads. and
with equally bad roads for miles
around them, have packed their trunks
and gone west. to the prairies, pineries

the pErscrIoN or FORGERY.
HOW EXPERTS DETERMINE A BOGUS
SIGNATURE.

A very curious fact about the philoso-
ply Of Handwriting ID this: That man
never writes his name twice In exactly
the same way, or In other words, one
signature ID never . facsimile Of any
other. So that, II an expert finds among
some genuine signatures one that CORE
spends In every detail with disputed
signature and such thing has happen

firet, that the latter really Is bogus, aud,
second, that he has before him the very
model used by the forger. All detectives
OF the Ink pot agree that the discovery Of
two signatures which on bell & super

cal, seem N one, Il q conclusive proof
that there has been tracing.
Such are the leading principles OF the
experts profession. How are they ap-
plicds In some cases they are not ap-
piled at all. The paper Itself, the STAMP,
u there Il one, may proclaim document
TO be forgery. Then the microscope
and the 9th, appliances will sometimes
show whether signature Il fraudulent.
Ssindlers commonly write 4 name In
pencil and then Ink Il over. IL the ex-
pert has reason to believe that this
method has been adopted-and 1t Is not
difficult to detect, because, for one
thing, the signature looks duiler than
the other writing-he has only TO put .
drop of acid on one OF the letters, an" !,
