The large pet dog of Charles Hager-
man of Irishtown. Adams county,
saved the life of his three-year-old son
in a singular manner while the two
were at play in the yard. The child
had a chain fastened around his body
and attached to the neck of the dog.
They We're strolling about when the
boy accidentally fell into the cistern,
containing several feet of water. The
dog. bracing himself for the shock,
pulled on the chain with sufficient force
to hold the child's head above the wa

heard by young lady residing with
the family, who fastened to the scene
and rescued the little fellow from his

TYPEWRITER EXPERTS.
Doubt .s to the Ussfuine.s of Their
Testimony.

Doubt As to the Usefulness of Their
Testimony.
While 1t is generally admitted that
in some cases of simple nature the
opinion Of a typewriter expert may be
of advantage in settling a question OF
doubt, there is an impression among
many members OF the "typewriting
fraternity" that the ability OF such ex-
perts is grossly overestimated. In as
much. they argue. as typewriting con-
sists merely of depressing keys which
on a given machine strike type Of uni
form shape and size, there can. as a
rule. be found no trustworthy charac-
teristics of the writer. For any one"
AYERS a veteran operator in this city,
however familiar he may be with
typewriters and typewriting. to pick
out the identical machine on which a
certain document was written is abso-
iutely impossible One might as we'll
expect an ali-round sewing machine
man to tell which of hundred ma
piece of sewing The work of a cheap.
toy typewriter is. of course. easily dis
tinguishatle from that of a high-class
one. and the work OF any one of the
three or four models OF typewriters in
most common use also has character
istics- By a simple adjustment Of the
tension Of typewriter It Is possible to
disguise the work of machine that
even the most scrutinizing observer
would be unable TO identity it Much
is due to the typcwriier's adjustment
and to the operators lingering of the
keyboard No two persons ;ypewrite
exactly alike. yet it Is a fact that the
work of one operator. executed on
given machine at different times and
under changed circumstances. often
varies in appearance.-New York Sun.

A great deal has been written in
the past few years about literary log
rolling. says Rafford Pyke in the New
York Commercial Advertiser, and the
reason why the subject has become so
frequent. In England Il is well known
that there exists what might be almost
styled a regular corporation OF log
rollers. sort OF syndicate composed
OF authors, who review each others
books and seek to work up a general
interest in both the personality and
the productions of the members of the
guild. In this country the thing has
not yet got down to so fine point.
though sporadicalIy there is Just as
much insincerc criticism and mutual
admiration given with the intention Of
boosting new authors up the heights
OF double-peakcd Parnassus. Our
country is too large and too little COM
pact for any single clique to form a
sort of log-rolling trust, and 80 we
find literary log-rolling in America
taking on a more or less local charac-
ter. Thus. It was commonly said some
years ago that no literary neophyte
could hope to receive recognition in
New York, at least. unless he sedu-
iously attended the afternoon teas
given by the wife of certain we'll
