The Kat Plant.

In parts of Abyssinia and Yemen
the natives use a plant called kat
(Catha edulis), the effects OF which are
similar to those of the Peruvian coca.
The freshly cut leaves have a rather
pleasant taste and produce kind of
iutoxication of long duration. with
none Of the disagreeable features of
ordinary inebriety. Messengers and
soldiers are enabled by chewing the
leaves to go without food for a num-
ber of days. Among those who abuse
the habit the body tends to dry, the
visage becomes emaciated, and nerv-
Gus trouble follows. the mos, usual
being a trembling of the limbs. but
these cases are rare. At times a toe
copious absorption Of kat produces a
state of drunkenness. particularly
when the large leaves are employed

When you increase greatly the size

whether it be travelling on the ground
floating through the air or swimming
under the water, you alter in a most
serious way the proportionate effect on

1t is noteworthy fact that there
are no large flying animals-large. that
is to say, as animals go. 1t is true
that there is great range in the size
OF flying animals, from the minutest
flies up to the condor vulture and the
albatross. But the bodies OF those
birds are small, not larger than that
of an ordinary dog. and the stretch of
the wings is only about ten feet. while
their weight in proportion to size is
reduced by great internal air sacs,
which extend even into the bones.
Even when we examine the records
of extinct monsters" among which
are some huge creatures as big in body
as the biggest elephants of today and

library, and another Correction was

Although these forgeries were pour
ed on the market in such prOfusion, no
SUSPICION seems to have been aroused.
They were accepted without question
by the experts and found ready pur-
chasers at large prices. Whether the
forger's success made him careless or
whether it was due to one OF those re-
markable oversights to which the most
skillful criminals seem liable and
which bring their career to close, the
forger was at last exposed through a
mistake Of which such clever man
should scarcely have been capable.
Among the many forgeries he pro-
duced a poem signed by Robert Burns.
1t was called The Poor Mans Pray
err" and opened with this stanza:
Amidst the more important tolls of state.
The counsels laboring in the patriotic
soil;
Though Europe from thy voice expect her
And thy keen glance extend from pole
to pole.
This poem, which consisted of nine
teen verses. might we'll have escaped
detection with the rest but for the
fact that a gentleman to whom the
poem was shown discovered the 1den
tical verses in the London Magazine
of 17G6 in poem addressed to the
Earl Of Chatham by one Simon Hodge
laborer.
Thus it appeared that II the verses
were actually written by Burns the
poet must have opened them under
the pseudonym Of Simon Hodge at the
very immature age of a poet Of seven
years. Suspicion once aroused. doub'
was at once cast on the hundreds o1
other documents which had emanateC
from the same source. The Lenox col
lection was submitted to the expert:

"a worthless lot Of forgeries," and col

painful discovery that their treasure:

LITERARY FORGER|ES
Versatility and Cleverness of a
ShreWd Scotch Lad.
FOOLED THE C0NN0ISSEURS.
ee Poured Forth His Extraordinary
Documents In Profusion to Supply
the Demand and Was Finally Ex-
posed by Simple Little Slip.

From the days Of Isidor Mercater,
who forged letters of the bishops Of
Rome with such skill and success that
they were treasured for centuries in
Ireland, the notorious forger Of Shake
spearean plays and letters, and Chat
terton. the clever and ill fated boy
who died miserably in his attic, there
have never been wanting unprincipled
men who could forge ancient manu-
scripts so cleverly that leading experts
have been deceived.
But for versatility and cleverness
none of these forgers of past centuries
could approach the cleverness of a
young Scotchman who years ago pro-
duced long succession of forged man
uscripts which completely baff1ed the
connoisseurs Of the world. The true
and full story of these remarkable
forgeries is almost unknown and is SO
extraordinary that it may we'll be told.
1t was in Edinburgh that this in
comparable forger practiced his arts,
and it was by an accident that he was
tempted to embark on career which,
after spell OF great success, involved
him in disaster. One day the princi-
pal Of an Edinburgh firm Of lawyers
told one Of his clerks to clear out sew
eral boxes full of old documents, the
accumulation Of many years. Among
them were several documents and au-
tographs the value of which the clerk
was quick to recognize, and he had no
difficulty in finding purchasers for
them. AS the supply was limited and
the demand constantly increasing it
occurred to him to supplement the gen.
uine documents with others of his
own manufacture, and as he developed
a remarkable skill in forging and had
already won the confidence OF large
number Of collectors he found it easy
to dispose of as many forgeries as be
could produce at very profitable prices.
Many of them were sold to collectors
in different parts Of the world. others
were disposed Of by auction. and the
remainder were pawned and sold as
unredeemed pledges. These forgeries
covered a very wide range and includ
ed autographs and letters by Crom
well. Mary, queen of Scots; James vi.
Prince Charlie, John Knox, Rob Roy
Burns, Scott. Thackeray, Carlyle. Sails
bury, Gladstone, Lord Nelson and
| many other men of note as well as
vast quantities Of Jacobite correspond
ence.
So cleverly were the forgeries exc
cuted that the largest purchaser Of
Scott's letters was a gentleman wht
as q boy had carried most Of the greal
authors manuscripts from Abbotsfort
to his Edinburgh publishers and wa!
as familiar with Scotrs handwriting
as his own. and the head Of the firm
| that published Lord Byron's work;
purchased forty-seven letters purport
ing to be Lord Byron's for the sum O
f1o5 Is. Cd. A very large collection o.
| these manuscripts was purchased 70

NEW IDEA
Helped Wis. Couple.

It doesn't pay to stick too closely to
old notions of things. New ideas often
lead to better health, success and hap
piness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea new
to them and stepped up several rounds
on the health ladder. The husband
writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless,
nervous, sallow, weak and irritable.
My wife and I both loved coffee and
thought 1t was a bracer." (delusion.)
Finally, after years of suffering. we
read of Postum and the harmfulness
OF coffee. and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
when we made it right we liked 1t
and were relieved of ills caused by
coffee Our friends noticed the change
-fresher skin, steadier nerves, better
temper, etc.
These changes were not sudden,
but relief increased as We continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and We lost
the desire for coffee.
Many OF our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make It right. But when they boiled
Postum according to directions on
pkg. until it was dark and rich, they
liked It better than coffee and were
benefited by the change" There's
Reason"
