It is sald that the signature of & eross, much used on old documents, is often misunderstood to mean ignor ance on the part of the signer.

It was often required of the signer that he add his oath to his name, and the cross was used as often in this sense as because the man could not write.—Exchauge. Parrot Folled Burglars.
