Doubt ~ to the Ussruinsss of Their
Testimony.
While It is generally admitted that
in some cases of simple nature the
opinion of 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.

however familiar he may be with
typewriters and typewriting. to pick
out the identical machine on which a
certain document was written is abso-

expect an all-round sewing
man TO tell which OF hundred ma
chimes of the same make did a given
piece of sewing. The work of a cheap.
toy typewriter is, Of course. easily dis
tinguishabie from that OF high-class
one. and the work of any one Of the
three or four models OF typewriters in

and to the operators lingering of the

exactly alike. yet II Is a fact that the
work Of one operator. executed on a

under changed circumstances. often
varies in appearance.-New York Sun.

The kingdom of Corea is now a bone
Of contention between Japan and Rus
sia and not improbably may lead to
war between these countries in the
near future.
The Kingdom has an area of 4,424
square miles and a population of 10.-
100000. Dramatically 1t resembles
North America. The inhabitants are
OF the Mongolian race, occupying an
intermediate place between the Mon
golian Tartars and Japanese. Physi-
cally they resembele the Japanese
more than the Chinese, but they are
taller and stouter than either.
The upper classes are polite, culti-
vated and pride themselves on their
correct department, while the lower
classes are social. vivacious and talka-
tive. They are neither industrious nor
cleanly, and although they are sur
rounded by abundant natural re-
sources they live in a depth OF squalor
unknown in civilized countries. Not
withstanding this tendency to dirt. the
Coreans dress almost uniformly In
white cotton cloth. These white gar
ments are lined and padded in winter.
They live in rude. thatched. mud
walled structures. which are heated in
the winter months by fues running
beneath the floors. The women's
apartments are kept apart and Sc
cluded with intense jealousy. Woman
holds low position in the social scale
and is not allowed to have a name
after she has attained maturity. but Is
known as the daughter sister or
wife of certain person; and until
they are married Coreans. men and

A great deal has been written In
the past few years about literary log
rolling. says Rafford Pyke in the New

reason why the subject has become SO
frequent. In England II Is well known
that there exists what might be almost
styled regular corporation OF log
rollers. a sort OF syndicate composed
OF authors. who review each others
books and seek to work up n 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 sporadicaily there is Just as
much lnsincere criticism and mutual
admiration given with the intention of
boosting new authors up the heights
OF double-peaked Parnassus. Our
country is too large and too little COM
pact for any single clique to form a
sort OF log-rolling trust. and so we
flnd literary log-rolling in America
taking on more or less local charac-
ter. Thus. IL was commonly said some
years ago that no literary neophyte
could hope to receive recognition in
New York, at least. unless he sedu-
lously attended the afternoon teas

Of Interest to Farmers.
It is desired to call the at.
tention of the farmers, fruit
growers, trucker, and all
others interested in agricul-
tural pursuits, in North Caro-
lima, to the fact that the En-
tomologist of the Department
of Agriculture, at Raleigh, N,
c., desires them to send him
specimens Of any injurious
insects that may come to
their notice. They are also
invited to send specimens of
any insects regarding which
they desire information. and
such information will be
given so far as possible. 1t
is desired to make the Dep
artment of as great practical
benefit to the people as pos
sible, and no affort will be
spared to attain this end.
During this winter the
fruit growers are especially
urged to make a careful ex-
animation of their trees, and
send any insect or suspicious
twig to the Department so
that the matter may be in
vestigated, if it is of import
ance. AS this office is for the
benefit of the people, we hope
that they will use it to the
best of their ability, by cor.
respondence or otherwise.
An effort is being made to
build upa collection OF insects
for the Agricultural Depart
ment and for exhibition in
the State Museum. The aid
Of all is asked in getting spec,
linens for thispurpose.
Send any specimens or in
quiries to, Franklin Sherman.
