SIGNATURES AND NAMES.

Printers Often Experience DfHicuIty
Method French Critic Adopted.
One would imagine that peopss who
are In the habit of writing letters
would not be long in realizing that the
word which ought to be the most legi-
ble is the signature, names being prop
er nouns which one cannot reconstruct
by induction, says the London Globe.
When one has to write for printers or
the press one quickly learns the habit
of writing all proper names so legibly
that there Is no excuse for making a
mistake. Sarcey, the famous dramatic
critic, used to say: "At the Rappel l
have marvellous pri.lter. My writing
is very bad, but he finds his way
through 1t with incredible ease. He
sees what I intended to say, and he
says 1t, in the terms l use, or in 9TH
ers. But he says it. Sometimes there
are liberals and sometimes slips Of
one kind and another, but never non
sense"
THAT is to say, that he could almost
do your article himself?" said quiz
zical friend?
"If l gave him the title, certainly
It's very handy"
But the proper names?"
"Ah, that's true. But I never put
any. write, CONNIE dit l'autre, and
the printer puts CONNIE dit Mon
taigne.' And as Montaigne said every
thing, that does very we'll"
M. Emile Faguet of the French Acad-
emy relates of one of his old profess
ors whom the undergraduates nick
named ''Soleil" that when the students
had to pass a written examination he
used always to say to them gravely:
Sign your name at the bottom of
your paper and put your name along
side your signature"
The old man had learned by expert
ence that a signature-at least that
of Frenchman-is not name, but a

EGGS AS oMENs,
Curious DivinntiOn Custom Among
Hill Tribes in Farthest India,

Curious DivinntiOn Custom Among
Hill Tribes in Farthest India.
The egg enters in a peculiar way
into the lives of the people Of the
Khasi Hills. in Assam, Farther India.
No event of any Importance in the life
of a Khasi takes place without divina-
tion by egg-breaking. The number of
eggs broken for omens is only limited
by the resources of the owner. Groups
OF Khasis may be seen arguing and
wrangling for hours, and accompany
ing their calculations by furiously
banging an egg on the ground, until in
time they are standing in disgusting
mess of egg shells, yolks and the
blood-red saliva caused by betel-chew-
ing. When the success or failure of
some prospective event is in question,
the custom is to drop an egg on pc
culiarly shaped board, and then, from
the configuration of the splashed yolk,
and the position of the bits of shell,
draw an augury concerning what is
likely to happen. When it is desired
to discover the cause of some sickness
or misfortune, the man addresses the
egg after this fashion: "Oh, egg, l am
only a man, and ignorant, and l can.
divine nothing. You can communicate
with spirits, and between them and
us have intercourse. Now, say, who

ter in Stafford hospital, New York
Suns London correspondent says. His
name is John Clarence Hudson. He
was found by the hospital officials
lying on bedstead covered with a
dirty rag, with stick by his side to
keep the rats from his food.
He told the officials that he could
live we'll on so cents week. A cents
worth Of milk had to last him four
days and loaf of bread for a week.
His meat allowance was half a pound
a week, and he bought half a pound
OF sugar every three months. Yet he
admitted that he had $17,5OO of rail-
way stock and house property, and it
is stated that he received a legacy of
$150,000 from his parents.
He also declared that he had not
been bathed for twenty years, and it
took two nurses two hours and a half
to make up the arrears in that respect.
But amid all the squalor of his home
the officials found a touch of long
dead romance.
A table was laid in one room for two
people to dine. 1t had always been
kept like that, they were informed by
the woman who attended the miser.
Hudson, who practiced years ago as a
solicitor, is said to have been crossed
in love.
Another feature of the case was the
discovery of picture of Spanish beg
gar girls, which, Hudson declares, is
Murillo.

1t is the commonly accepted belief
that the sons of great men rarely
equal their sires in point of ability,
and especially in the line of ability
which distinguished the sire. There
are some notable exceptions, as for
instance the younger Pitt, and John
Quincy Adams. But as a rule we shall
find, both as a matter of history and
personal observation, that the COM
mon opinion is correct. A writer in
current magazine attempts to ac-
count for this fact by assuming that
the son usually inherits his intellect
ual traits from his mother, although
in physique he is apt to take after his
father. The writer cites a lot of in
stances to show that in the line of
royalty it is quite common to see the
qualities of great king handed down
10 his successors for many genera
tions. This is because that in royal
marriages the bride of the heir ap-
parent is carefully selected from
among the great families, royal or

is maintained in the descent. But
among the mass of the people, from
which the world usually gets its great
geniuses, literary, financial, scientific
or professional, marriages are made
hap-hazard. A great man is often
attracted by woman far inferior to
him Intellectually. In the vast ma
Jority of cases no attention is paid to
mating with view to transmitting
great qualities. A compensation of
these hap-haZard marriages is that a
very ordinary man sometimes be-
comes the father of very great one
This view Is fanciful to some extent.
1t cannot be based upon any accurate
statistics. But it gives abundant food
for thought. 1t may be- used as an
argument for the higher education and
culture of women. 1t gives a hint of
the advisability of arranging mar.
riages with prudence and forethought.
1t may be admitted that love in mar
riage Is an essential, but it will do no
harm to season it with judgment and
good advice.
