INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS FAVORED.
Formal Action by National Manu-
facturers' Convention.

criticism of the attitude of labor unions
toward Industrial schools was embodied in
the report of the committee on Industrial
education to the national association of
manufacturers in New York, yesterday.
The report declared that labor unions have
made efforts to hinder the perpetuation of
trade schools. Their Efforts said the re-
port, are nothing short of a crime against
all those young men who desire to learn
a trade, and are the cause, in a consider
able measure, for the lack of skilled labor
In the United States"
The tariff and reciprocity committee re-
ported that under present conditions many
manufacturers are greatly handicapped in
the German market. The committee asked
that strenuous efforts be made by the
United States government to reach imme-
diately fair basis of trade with the Ger
man empire. Another need was stated to
be some reciprocal trade arrangement with
Canada.
The secretary's preliminary report was
adopted 1t stated that an "anti-inillnc-
ton bill of almost any kind was desired by
the labor lobby at Washington during the
present session of Congress.

SECRETS TOLD BY HANDWRITING
Some Curious Puzzles Experts Are
Expected to Solve.

from I1t-bltS.
Yes, said an expert, in handwriting. 1t is
no easy matter to tell which is a forged
name and which is a bona fide one, for the
professional forger of today Is an artist in
his lawless work. Fifty or sixty years ago
handwriting experts were conspicuous by
their absence: now there are scores of them
In London alone. and the leading ones are
constantly brought before the public In con-
nection with law cases-big, sensational and
curious.
Professional handwriting experts have
much curious work to do. / am called upon
almost daily to Danish or confirm suspic
ions In matrimonial squabbles. Some weeks
ago young lady brought to me birthday
card she had received bearing a few words,
but no name, written with pen. She was
anxious to know whether the sender was a
certain young man with whom she had
qrarreled three months before and not
afterward seen. She showed me a letter
SHE had received from him In days of yore,
end, though the handwriting on the birth
day card was disguised, l proved beyond
shadow of doubt, on comparing 1t with the
letter, that it was from the young fellow
in question. The lady was very much
pleased when I pointed this out to her. and
1 have since heard that the quarrel has
been patched up and that the parties are to
be married few weeks hence.
Last February a. well-known city mer-
chant received a gaudly colored valentine.
He brought 1t to me, stating that he
thought the sender was clerk in his en-
ploy to whom he had refused an advance
in salary He wanted to know whether
he had surnised correctly. The word
"miser'' written on the valentine in
ink, and on comparing this with the US
ual writing of the clerk in question L DIS
covered similar peculiarities in both, prov
ing that the clerk was the guilty party.
However, for the foolish young fellow 8
sake. kept my knowledge to myself point
ing out to the merchant that in suspecting
his clerk he probably was making a mis-
take.
The difficulty forger has to contend
against when initiating some ones hand
writing is in Disgusting his own. Experts
are always on the lookout for foreign char
acteristics, for they very often lead to the
identity of the forger.
Moreland, the oxford tutor, one of the
most successful and capable forgers who
ever lived, could not only reproduce the
handwriting of other people but could
write no fewer than seven distinctly differ
ent hands. He had one falling however.

characteristics of his own unfortunately
crept in. This eventually proved his down

Fearless South African Birds.
from Country Life.


Birds are said to be much more tame ana
confiding In South Africa than they are at
home probably because there they are
much less molested.
The cape swallow often builds in the liv-
ing room of the upcountry Boer, fastening
its nest to some part of the roof timber.
The Boer. whose house is usually haunted
by plague of flies, not only to1erates the
swallows, but encourages them. The swal
lows, on their part, wage constant warfare
upon the swarms of flies, and fit constant
ly in and out, hawking about the chamber
with a perfect fearlessness quite delightful
to see.
Among other South African birds which
manifest this wonderful tameness is the
cape wagtail, which not only penetrates 10
the living room in search of flies, but Will

A PLEA FOR GARDEN WALLS.
Or at Least a Hedge, to Give One a Blu
Of Outdoor Privacy.
From the Atlantic Monthly

From the Atlantic Monthly.
There are two ways OF getting outdooS
privacy at home. II your house Is placed
on hillside. you may build retaining
wall. and so provide yourself with a terrace
which lifts you above the surrounding coun-
try, but such roofless outdoor rooms will
be few compared with those obtained by
building wall or planting q hedge on the
level ground.
The mere mention OF a wall disturbs the
equilibrium of many Americans one or
two actual walls have stimulated the pen
to action, and fears of the revival OF
feudalism" have appeared to warn us that
such treatment of our grounds would place
us in most precarious condition: but there
is the hedge, and II the difference between
mineral and vegetable matter will produce
such calamity as 'feudalism,'' let us by
all means keep to the vegetable and have
the hedge.
II your hedge is properly planted. with
the trees not more than one foot apart.
your boundary will. in time, be almost as
protecting as a wall. The evergreen IS
preferable, for then you may have a winter
garden. Nothing can exceed in beauty the
deep green hemlock.
The desire for garden is too old, even
though comparatively new In our country,
to be called fad. You can leave a part
of your grounds open to the public gaze.
and there indulge in a lawn and such flow
ers as VIII give education and pleasure, but
II you want garden to live in and enjoy,
and not to show to the world as a rare
exotic, the first thing to do IS to inclose
your space. The garden should be quite as
personal an affair as the house.
