When a piece OF disputed or suspect
ed handwriting is submitted to an ex-
pert, his first care is TO note its gen
eral appearance He observes what
seems to be the characteristic habits Of
hand in the writer. the style, shading,
and connection of letters, their rela-
tion TO the base line Of the writing, and
other significant points. The same pro-
cess is applied to specimens Of the al
legged writer's genuine hand.
The next steps is TO disintegrato the
writing so that letters repeated in
both specimens may be compared in
detail when placed side by side. In
this way divergences or resemblances,
which might not appear to the eye i'm
the body of a paper, are made perfectly
clear. If any of the letters show
signs of hesitation or retouching, as
frequently happens in forgeries, they
are photographed through the micro
scope. By this enlargement retouches
or tracings are brought out so that
they can be seen plainly by the un-
trained eye.
Having made his examination of the
whole writing. step by step, the expert
summarizes the results, numbering
corresponding parts, and calling atten-
ton to discrepancies or resemblances
as they occur. By this process his
conclusions are made perfectly clear.
in all ordinary cases, to anybody who
reads his report. In exceptional cir
/ cumstances, such as court trials, he
may go before a jury with blackboard
and pencil and show exactly how a
forger wrote a certain letter as well as
the way in which the persons whose
writing was initiated habitually form
ed it, If his deductions are accurate,
the results, presented in this graphic
manner, usually are convincing to all
intelligent and unprejudiced observers
1t is one of the advantages Of graphol-
ogy that, ordinarily, its conclusions
may be made as plain as the nose on
a mans face.-Ainslee's Magazine.

The American Hay Fever association,
so far as known, is the only society in
the United States bound together by the
ties of disease There is no diphtheria
club or pneumonia circle, or independ-
ent order of rheumatics, or other or
ganizations where a common malady
forms a bond of union. Only members
of the American Hay Fever association
blow their noses and wipe their eyes in
unison. The Hay Fever association was
first heard Of a good many years ago.
when Henry Ward Beeches was a lead
ing spirit. and the gathering ground
of the organization was said to be the
White mountains in New Hampshire.
Later New Mexico was proclaimed the
sneezer's Mecca. and Captain Philip
Reade. L. S. A., appeared as chief
scribe. Now it is given out that Mar
quette, Mich. is the head center in
place of Petosky. originally selected,
and it is said that the fall meeting Of
the association will see a thousand

It is not every one that understands
the ordinary system of banking and the
proper thing to do with a bank check.
Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe was sorely
puzzled over the huge check her pub
fishers paid her for her royalties in
Uncle Toms Cabin" and her husband
could not tell her how to get money
On it. So, also, was it with Tom Edison
when he got his first check. When he
completed his model Of his now IA
nous ticker" he submitted it to the
president of a telegraph company. who
asked him to leave il for examination.
Edison was out of money and his land
lady had warned him for the last time.
He had decided to ask $1,000 for his in
vention, but when the president al the
aext interview asked his price his cour-
age oozed away, and he faltered out
that he would like to have the COM
pany make an offer.
How would $4,000 suit you?" said
the president
What" exclaimed the young wiz
ard, "all in money!"
Certainly; you can have it now"
"All right"
A check was drawn and handed over
to Edison with these words: THAT is a
check for $4,000 Go to the bank
around the corner and they viii give
you the money"
At the bank he got into the long line
and worked up to the paying tellers
window. Then he pushed the check
lover the sill. The teller saw that it
was not indorsed and pushed It back
with fitting remarks which Edison did
lnot understand he being even then
slightly deaf. He retired crestfallen and

had been swindled. He had another
scene with his landlady that night and
visited the telegraph president the next
morning in sheer desperation. He told
Of his experience at the bank and beg

was properly identified at the bank, in

WASHINGTON AS A MASON

PROOFS FORTHCOMING OF HIS
HIGH STANDING IN THE ORDER.
Morgantown, w. Va, Nov. 25.-West
Virginia Masons who have learned of
the attack made on the Masonic record
of General Washington, through ad-
vance sheets sent out by the National
Christian Association, express the
greatest indignation. The advance
sheets are from the Christian Cynosure,

DovER's COUNCIL ACTS
DECLARES RIGHTS OF STREETS
BY DELAWARE GENERAL ELEC-
TRIO COMPANY FORFEITED.

Dover Nov. 25.-City Council has
decided that the Delaware General
Electric Railway Company has forfeit
ed all right TO use the streets Of Dover,
in consequence OF delay in beginning
the work.
The first excuse offered by President
Leo Belmont for the company was
that the delay was caused on account
of a scarcity in the iron market. This
was accepted by Council. Then It was
understood that the company was to
macadamize the street from curb TO
curb, but when the bond was submit
ted it only called for the paving of the
part of the street where the rails were
laid The third objection was that in
stead Of furnishing a $4,000 bond TO
begin work in nine months and finish
in twelve. the company's bond was TO
1 go into effect when work is com
lmenced"
