to find II written baekwards-that Is,
II the victim has succeeded In writing
anything than can be made out at ell.
Nine persons out OF ten begin to write
at the left eyebrow and write toward
the right eyebrow. But this is not
really writing from left TO write. rI
writing should be done, but from right
to left. because when the paper is
taken from the forehead and lah on
the table It Is turned end for end.
Does the writer make the mistake be-
cause he says to himself, "Let me see,
now. must begin at the left" and
therefore begins at the left eyer Prob
ably not. for II he stops to think he Is
apt to write correctly, The trick Is
most likely to succeed when the writ
ing 10 attempted lmpulsively, witf""t
thinking. So you should not say any
thing about writing, or even show the
pencil. until the paper is held on the
forehead and the eyes closed. Then
slip the pencil into the persons hand
and tell him to write. The mistake Is
just one of those queer things in hu.
man nature that nobody has yet ex-
plalned.
The precise directions about holding
the paper and the left hand mislead
the writer and make him more likely
to err, but their main object Is to
guard the eyes against a possible Iab
with the pencil. and for similar rea.
sons a short blunt pencil should be
used.-People's Home Journal.

WIRING lEFT AND RIGHT.

Here is an amusing little deception
that you may play upon unsuspectins
friends Perhaps II would be more
correct to say that they play the trick
on themselves-which makes II all the
funnier You tell them what to do
and II is not your fault that they don't
know how to do t.
Give your victim a slip OF stout writ.
Ing paper and the stub OF a soft. black
lead pencil, not very sharp, Ask them
to shut his eyes and lay the paper on
his forehead. holding It there with the
thumb and forennger Of his left hand,
one pressed to each temple, while the
palm OF the hand covers his eyes. The
next thing he has to do Ia to write
his nams on the paper with tho pencil
held In his right hand. Writing IL not
easy under such conditions, so no one
will expect the signature to be very
pretty or very logible, but everybody,
including the writer. win be surprised

German Tool Manufacturers.

The Association of German Tool
Manufacturers has urged the imperial
government to prevent the further in
roads Of American manufacturers upon
their special branches. 1t is claimed
that in the first quarter of the year
the import of tools had more than
doubled, having increased from 245
tons to 526 tons, and that in the sec
ond quarter the increase threatened to
become even larger. Special empha-
sis Is laid on the fact that the United
States government levies a tax of 45
per cent on German machines, against
the German tariff Of per cent, and
they insist that German machines are
in no wise inferior to the American,
and that there is no need whatever
for the introduction of American ina
chimes and tools into Germany.

A PROPHECY FULFILLED.


"When failure overwhelms you, be-
lieve that all will come right and work
for q future success" That Is the
moral to be drawn from a story told
In La Nouvelle Revue by Mons. Phil
ippe Bunau-Varilla, first minister from
Panama to the United States.
In 1889. he says, everything was ap-
parently going well at Panama. After
the great spoliation, or In spite OF it.
the engineers had done great work
Much OF the excavation had been ac-
complished. but much more remained
to be done. The machines were on the
ground, the workmen were there; 1t
remained only for an honest admins
tration, making use Of these mate
rials, to finish the work. Enough work
had been accomplished to make vls-
ible basis for negotiating loan. Then
panic seized the French people. and
the enterprise went to pieces.
Two years later, thoroughly discour-
aged, the engineer was In New York
City, where he consulted John Bige-
low, formerly United States minister
to France.
"What shall do he asked.
"Write book" replied Mr.. Bigelow.
"But who will read itT' asked the
discouraged Frenchman.
"Do nor worry about that" said Mr..
Bigelow. "Do not write 1t for to-day.
Write 1t for ten years from to-day"
Monsieur Bunau-Varilla went to
work, and prepared concise and hon.
est statement Of exactly what had
been done and what remained to do,
with bis estimates of time and ex-
pense required. He published it in
March, 1892. Ten years later. In June,
1902, the United States Senate voted
in favor of completing the Isthmian
canal, and the prediction of Mr.. Bige-
low was fulfilled. The book OF the
French engineer, sane, practical, hon
est, had been one of the greatest inhu-
ences in turning American sentiment
from Nicaragua to Panama, and bring
ing success at last to the great ditch.

Must Buy the Berries Here.

The commission houses had agreed
among themselves they would no longer
purchase berries or fruit on the track
here, but would demand it being con-
signed. The gauge thus thrown down
was taken up by the fruit growers as
sembed at Hinkle Hall last Saturday
and they declared they would not con-
sign to commission houses, but would
sell here or establish agencies of their
own. This action of the commission
men seems arbitrary, yet they are not
entirely to blame. A class Of dishonest
growers and pickers has been foisting
off in the car-lot shipments dishonesty
packed fruit. Fruit that did not come
up to the standard and packages that
were not filed,
The meeting was called Saturday to
find remedy for this and make in the
future name for Van Buren fruits and
berries that would sell them without
question. Quite number of growers
present spoke on the subject and a
resolution was adopted that each grower
who loaded into Association cars must
guarantee the quality and pack Of his
fruit or berries he to protect the officers
entrusted with the sale against any loss
caused by inferior fruit and short mea.
sure being discovered in his part Of the
shipment, This will make 1t possible
to sell car-lots here under guarantee
and will cause all concerned to receive
better prices than when the buyer must
take chances of loss from bad fruit and
poor packing being discovered after It
reaches its destination,
The honest fruit grower has nothing
to lose and everything to gain by this
procedure.
