Whatever system of writing is followed in copy books in school serves only to train the hand The adult acquires individuality in writing and soon departs from copy book forms. The vertical system has the merits of clearness, legibility, and simplicity and is as good as Spencenan or any other method ever taught to start with. Indeed, the less ornate a system of penmanship is the more readily it adapts itself to practical business uses. THE SMI-WEKLT ASTOHIAX.

Patterson, junior United States senator from Colorado, says the New York Commercial. He would have the country believe that New York city already has more extensive postoffiee facilities than she needs or is en titled to; or else he knows better but is trying to de ceive the senate upon the situation here in the metropolis.

The cannon in ques tion was supposed to be some distance awayflmd its remarks may have sounded like a cough. Nobody supposes that the cannon was actually afflicted with a bronchial difficulty which the surgeon should have treated. Cannon have boomed too long; let them cough. Perhaps the correspondent, if hard pressed, ought to be allowed to make the rapid fire guns 6neeze. This matter of the cultivation of striking words, or the using of words in unexpected ways, mainly for the effect of the sound of the word itself, is never carried on very industriously in English. Efforts in this direction are usually casual and spor- extra building for her letters! Let her postmaster work a little over hours now and then, and there will be no trouble with the mails. "Why," the Colorado senator went on, "that post office which New York now has cost the nation over $6,000,000, and it looks to me as if the committee has striven to give New York more plums than she is fairly entitled to, considering that many other cities throughout the country are compelled to go without adequate postoffiee accommodations. I chal lenge the committee to show how the lease from the Central is at all necessary for the disposition of postal business in New York." Senator Penrose picked up the Colorado man'i gauntlet but of what earthly use was it to show him adic.

If the majority of poets will persist in neglecting their duty in cultivating the language and making it blossom as the rose there seems to be all the more reason why the war correspondents should not be curbed. Perhaps the newspaper .correspondent is the true poet of the age. It was Artemus Ward who said that "Shakespeer rote eood rjla.se. hut h wouldn't hav succeeded as a Washington correspond ent of a New York daily paper. lie lackt the rekesit fancy and imagginashun." But many Washington correspondents do succeed, and the conclusion i too obvious for mention. We live in fallen times. In another age our war correspondents might be writ ing epics while the Washington men turned out odes. But possibly we're just as well off. erb-maker had m mind when he said "None are so blind as those who won't see!" We dislike to set Senator Patterson down as ignor ant or insincere, but, if he is neither one nor the other, he must belong in that coterie of statesmen who think it "smart" to hold up any and all New York propositions in congress. He has succeeded at all events in tying up the postoffice-nite amendment for the present and that may be quite glory enough for him GIVE the BABY a RIDE!

Dr. Pessifor Frazer, a celebrated expert on hand " writing and authority on the. subject, says that the relation of any system of writing to the prevalence of forgery is, in his opinion, represented by zero. He says that there are so many characteristics in every handwriting unknown and invisible to the possessor that the shape or appearance of the writing is of the least importance in seeking the author. A leading New York banker declares that the de tection of a forgery of a plain, simple signature is easier than that of a complicated signature, a forgery of which will often pass unnoticed unless it is very awfully examined. Another expert on handwriting, in order to "lay effectually the absurd ghost about vertical handwrit ing and forgery," aay that "forgers d not foj ments of Vermont maple syrup to market.
