A branch of crime that causes great loss to business men is check forgery. By the use of bleaching acids, ink eradicators and “penning,” checks made out for, say, $16, have been al- tered to $1,600, and cashed for this umount. When such a swindle occurs, the bank concerned is not responsible | for the loss unless the actual signature has been forged. The only method of | preventing these crimes is the use of | the patent check-writer, of which there are about fifty thousand in use. The machine “shreds” the words and fig- ures into the check, Acid-proof ink in| two colors is used and a check would} have to be destroyed before any alter- | ativp could be made.

The love of praise is generally con- nected with all the finer sensibilities of human nature. To be entirely des- titute of all this passion betokens an | ignoble mind, on which no moral lin- pression !s easily made; for where there is no desire of praise, there will be no sense of reproach. But while it is admitted to be a natural and, in | many respects, a useful principle of action, it is entitled to no more than our secondary regard. It has its boun- dury set, by transgressing which \t is at once transformed from an Innocent into a most dangerous passion, When passing its natural line, it becomes the ruling spirit of conduct; when the re gard we pay to the opinions of men encrouches on that reverence which we owe to the voice of conscience and the sense of duty, the love of praise, having then gone out of its proper place, Instead of elevating, debases.— Doctor Smith, WHY SHE MARRIES HIM Fear of being an old mald To keep some other girl from get- ting him, buck toward the dining room disgust- | edly.—New York Globe | LIKE SOME VAST CATHEDRAL Investigator So Described English Cave Known to Travelers ae Gap- ing Ghyli of Ingleborough. The chief caves in England are about Ingleborough (northwest York shire), In the peak district of Derby- shire, and round about the Cheddar in Somerset. Gaping Ghyll of Ingle- borough goes down in one plunge of 360 feet, and was scientifically ex- plored in 1895 by M. Martel. Below this the cavern opens out and the low- er stage was described by the French speleologist, in the Alpine Journal, as ‘an immense cathedral, unsupported by 4 single pillar. There was one vast hall, 500 feet long, 80 to 100 feet high, 66 to 116 feet broad. Thus it is one of the five or six largest caves known at present to exist in the whole world, and the scene ranks among the most impressive that | ever expect to come across in my underground wander- ings.” The Derbyshire caves go deep, but they are surpassed in brilllancy by the stalactite caves of the Cheddar, by the mapy-hued masses of tncrusta- Anxiety to connect with a permanent meal ticket, To reform hin.
