A Gladstone Story.

In Lord Rosamore's "Things !
Can Tell" he gives this story at the
expense of Mr.. Gladstone and the
home rule agitation ''The subject
of home rule always reminds me OF
the day when old Gladstone sat
down and Mrs. Gladstone made a
speech on the hastings. Said she,
addressing the throng: My friends,
| found it very hard to convince my
dear husband about the claims Of
Ireland for home rule, but one day
when he came into the breakfast
room he remarked to me: "My dear
wife, you've overpersuaded me about
that do~wntrodden country. You
have at last converted me in favor
of home rule" | got up from my
chair, put my arms round his neck
and gave him a loving wifely kiss
She paused to see what effect her
words had produced, and an ire
prcssible Irishman called out, And
it sarved the ovid beggar parfectly
right"

FORGED SIGNATURES.
Ingenious Methods Of Detection En-.
pIoyed by the Experts.

Most ingenious means r nova
days employed in the detection OF
forgery. 1t is a very clever forgeI
indeed who can deceive The up tc
date expert in c~hirography.
As has been pointed out by Sand
berg, the expert may put a juror to
the proof that out of a dozen sigma
lures of his own name no two will
be alike in general form. Then the
expert may turn to the authentic
and forged signatures in almost any
case and show to the layman that
the first question of forgery arose
from the fact that these two sigma
lures are at first glance identically
alike almost to the minutcst detail.
The forgcr has been toe skillful. He
has held TO the old principle of
copying the authentic signature
that he has at hand, and the con
sequence is hat the more nearly he
can reproduce the signature in every
proportion the more readily can the
forgery be proved.
A most significant fact upon
which the expert may base his in
ycstigations of possible forgery is
that every one has his "pen scope"
This technical term describes the
average stretch of paper that one
may cover without lifting the pen
from the paper and shifting the
hand to continue the line.
In the case of signature it should
be one of the easiest and least
studied group of words that the
writer should be called upon to put
upon paper. In writing a letter,
for instance, the pen scope through
out may exhibit an average stretch
of one inch for the text of the let
ter, while in the signature the whole
length of the name, twice as long,
may be covered. But if the writer
covers the full stretch of his name
in this way the expert may prove
by The shorter pen scope Of the
copvist that the studied copy is a
forgery on its face, for, however
free of stroke the forger may natu-
rally be, his effort to produce a fac
smile Of another's signature will
render his scope shorter than that
Of the original signer.
a common means of reproducing
a signature is to place the original
signature on a piece of glass, lay
another piece of glass on top of it
and fasten the paper that is to re-
ceive the forgery on top of that.
Then by holding the glass strips to
a bright light the original sigma
turc casts a shadow through, and
this may be traced in pencil. From
this the ink forgery is made. When,
however, a forgery accomplished by
this means is placed under a strong
magnifying glass it will not pass
muster. If the original has a strong
down stroke on the capital letters
the movement will be free and will
leave the pen lines with smooth
edges. The individual who is trac-
ing such letters cannot trust him
self to The same free movement Of
the pen, and the result shows under
the glass hcsitancy and uncertainty.

TRUFFLE HUNTING PIGS.
Theirs 10 a Luxurious but a Sad and
Disappointed Life.

The most luxurious pig in all the
world is, as it painfully happens,
the most unhappy, the most dissat.
isied, the most deceived. Her splen-
did lot III life is to hunt for the &c.
licious t%rufie, which, alas, she is
never allowed to deyour.
Her full name is La TRUE, and
she inhabits the pleasant sunny land
round Perigueux and Sorges, in
France. She is the truf1le hunting
pig par excellence and belongs to a
very special breed, which is as much
looked after as a thoroughbred
aeer. There is as much difference
between her and an ordinary pig as
there is between a motorcar and a
steam roller.
Sometimes as much as 800 is
paid for a truffles pig, the animals
special value being that through
long and careful inbreeding it ia
born with an instinct for trufles-
not merely an instructive love, but
a marvellous instinct, which leads it
infallibly to discover where they are
hidden away in the earth.
This is the tragedy of the truffles
pigs luxurious life.
From youth upward she is fed on
the daintiest morsels. Nothing is
given that might spoil her fine taste.
La TRUE is born with this fine
taste, which belongs to her breed
and which has been carefully foster
ed for years. When she has grown
up a little she is led forth one fine
morning at the end Of a slack rope
on a great truffle hunting cypedi-
ton. The man who leads her has
no more exact knowledge as to
where the truf1ies are actually hid
den in the earth than a purblind
owl.
But La TRUE can scent one, so
fine Is her instinct, if it be hidden
nearly two feet under the surface.
Down goes her head with its pc
culiarly long, well bred %snout, and
she is roofing at The brown earth
with all the energy she possesses.
AS has been said, this instinct is
infallible. A dozen inches or more
down the pig finds the truffle she
has nosed. Forth shoots her snout,
her mouth is just opening to re-
ceive its just reward, when-she is
hauled back with a sudden painful
and not-to-be-denicd jerk, and a
sharp pointed stick prods her away
from the delicious morsel.
And the business has only just
started when gathered. Women
peasants with long experience scrub
them delicately with hot water and
n~ailbrushes, and others peel them
just as carefully and gently, much
in the manner in which potatoes are
scraped, for as they come from the
earth they look like black fungi and
III about the size of potatoes.
The district of Perigucux and
Sorges supplies the whole world
with truffles. They are finer here
than anywhere else. Like mush-
rooms, they need a period of warmth
and rain in order to insure a good
season, which extends through De-
tober, November, December and
January.-London Mirror.

Europe hundreds of years ago. Here
they live in their crooked, narrow
streets, following old customs hand

in the quarter and outside Of each
