HUMOR OF BAD WRITING.

Sheridan's writing was a scandal to his school
and puzzled the town. He wrote pass
to Drury Lane. and the doorkeeper stopped its
bearer and Immediately pronounced 1t to be a
forgery because he could decipher 1t! To
make matters worse. Sheridan was also uncertain
In his spelling. (which" where" and a
whether In his hands. for instance, were as
often as not deprived Of their "aiches" and
thing" was to him always think and nothing
more.
The atrocious writing Of celebrities recalls the
claim once made on behalf of Baron Bramwell
that he wrote three hands "One which he alone
could read. another which his clerk could read
and he couldn't. and a third which nobody could
read" and the last.named was his usual style.
Lord Curzon, when young man at college,
once found his bad handwriting stand him in
good stead Writing two letters. one to a rela.
tive, the other to chum. he encloses them in
the wrong envelopes 1t chanced that In the Sec
ond letter he had made some uncomplimentary
reference to his relative, and on discovering the
mistake he had made he awaited developments
with anxiety. There presently came a letter from

It ran. "but your writing Is atrocious that
cannot make head or tail Of 1t. However, guess
the drift of 1t to be that you need some money.

Bad handwriting is not always handicap in
life. The late Lord Goschen once said that his
father attributed the foundations Of his fortune to
the fact that he was abliged to found a firm be.
cause he wrote such bad hand that no one
would take him for clerk. or Goschen himself.
Mr.. Arthur Elliot records that 'hs handwriting
got steadily worse, and in his latter years he
might have spelt as he chose. At length his
script became undecipherable. even by himself.
He could not. when speaking In parliament, make
out what 1t was that he had put on paper. and
he thus came In later days to abandon almost en-.
tirely his old practice OF making notes."

elderly composior on the Scotsman, however.
knew nearly all about the professor. One night
there was a particularly difficult manuscript from
the professor. 1t was put before the expert. with
an inquiry as to whether or not he could set It.

The ancients employed amber as a medicine
and It is sill prescribed by physicians in France

ladies and children from time immemorial as an
amulet sometimes carved into "amphOrae" and
has been pronounced OF service. either taken In

gave the name Of chryselektron to amber OF
clear golden color, which, worn around the neck,
cured ague ground up with honey and rose oil
It was specific for deafness and with Attic
honey for dmness Of sight. But to come to more
recent times, Perera says in the third edition OF
his "Materia Medica," published In 1853, that am
ber was not even then employed as medicine In
this country but that 1T was formerly used in
chronic catarrhs. amennorhoea, hysteria etc, and
