Professional Forgers.

Forging is generally quite an
amateur affair in England, but in
India, where the professional forger
fourishes, it is the business of a
lifetime. A father, for instance,
who thinks he detects in his son an
aptitude for the occupation, appren-
tices him to one Of its masters. He
learns among other things engrav-
ing, photography, paper making,
chemistry, SO as to deal with colored
inks, and, above all, fine penman-
ship and delicate miniaturelike
painting. After several years hard
work ne is pronounced proficient
and sets up in business for himself,
generally commencing by counter
feiting government stamps.
