Ho can exercise extra vigilance In the opening of new accounts with his Insti tution by having new depositors vouched for by men of uuiuestloned integrity and financial worth, but no care or forodght on his part can pre vent skilled forgers from attempting at least to defraud ills Institution by for geries. What a torpedo boat Is to the licet of warships the forger is to the lmnlts and bankers. The public at large seem to think that a forgery Is generally a very close linitatlou of the genuine signature, while this may ho tine, anil, In fact, this Is the kind or ; forgery that the bunkers dread, in a great many cases the forgery may lie utterly unlike the writing of the per- bi ill whose name Is forged. Tills kind of forgery is practiced very frequently, but is dangerous only to the small tradesman who cashes checks for strangers upon some plausi ble pretext. Frequently In such cases the forger selects the name of a promi nent man In the community and signs his name to n check on any bank and cashes It by making some smull pur chase, paying for It with the forged check and taking the balance of the check In cash. Hut this Is very crude work, and the career of the amateur forger Is very short. I'o guard against the payment of forged checks the hanks have adopted all of the precautions and expedients known. Necessarily their chief reli ance Is on the skill and care of the tellers, whose duty It Is to pass upon the checks and scrutinize lliem before payment. (Jcnerally this duty de volves upon the paying teller or on one or more of his assistants. To a natural aptitude for the memorizing of n handwriting must be added a vigilance which never flngs and u painstaking euro which never wearies. It will probably be a surpnse to peo ple outside of the banking business to learn that but a small percentage of the forged checks are presented at the paying teller's window. The large pro portion of forged checks are cashed at stores, hotels, railroad oiuces or at bnnks other tlmn the bank on which tlie forged check Is drawn. The reason for this Is that to present the forged check at the bank on which It Is drawn would be to run too great a risk of im mediate detection and arrest. An Identification Is necessary to get a large sum of money from a bank, and the risk Is too great to undertake for a small sum. All careful bankers refuse to pay cash In large amounts to strangers, even though the check may be made payable to bearer. 80 that In order to minimize the danger of apprehension the wily forger cashes his checks any where else than at the drawee bank. Hence the bulk of forged checks come to the bank on which they are drawn through the clearing house. As has been stated before, the teller who pass es upon these checks possesses a natu ral talent for carrying In his memory the Impression of hundreds of signa tures. , To this natural aptltudo Is 'added an education of years in the, ex amination and comparison of signa tures. His nblilty to distinguish ' a forgery becomes greater from constant practice, so that In course of time he becomes very expert. To him the sig natures become pictures which are fix ed In his memory. So that while It would seem to an onlooker that the teller was running over the chocks too rapidly to Insure safety and that It would be Impossible for him to. Dick out a forgery while working at tlm speed with which ho Is compelled to work, nevertheless It Is remarkable how unerringly he will throw out a check which Is not genuine or which exhibits Buy change from a normal condition. This same characteristic Is shown by expert counters of money. The opera tor's fingers fly through a bundle of bills of various denominations, bills In different singes of newness, but stop Instantly when a counterfeit is reached, even though the counterfeit be 0110 which has for the first time made its uppearnnce and has not as yet been described or seen by the secret servlco men. lie lias no knowledge that such n counterfeit Is In existence, but he docs know the genuine bills, and any that vary from the genuine must be coun terfeit. In the same manner the teller passes upon signatures. He knows the genuine, from constant experience and Intliimlo association. The forgery, skillful though It may be, Is still but a forgery and- can be detected. A lapl "nry can distinguish the paste from the emllne diamond, but the ordinary man can see no difference between them. 80 with counterfeit money. The expert can readily separate the spurious from the good, even though the work on the counterfeit bill Is equal If not supe rior to that on the genuine. The Judge of counterfeit money has always a uni form standard for comparison, but the expert on liandwrltlng has 110 unvary ing standard, as It Is seldom that a man writes his signature twice exactly alike.

There are moun tains xre.tt of Amoy, and, according to a correspondent, there are tigers In them. "These tigers lead an easy und Independent life In the caves and dens which abound. They come out of these every evening Just ua the shadows creep over the land and the blue mists rise from the lower ground and hide the hills. Then the Inlnibltaiils get within their houses and keep the door between them and these savage brutes. Many a poor woman coming with water from the well or a fanner del i;. oil too long In the fields has fallen victim to them. Tho iilghH are spent by the tigers In foraging, and the foxei an I wildcats that roam tiie hills and the dogs In the village become their prey. "There Is nothing, however, that gives the tigers such supreme delight as the capture of a good sized pig. They are truly Chinese In their tastes In this respect. One of thee animals will go at a steady trot with a dead pig thrown over Its back up the sides of steep hills, Jumping over huge bowl tiers and taking cross cuts over the most Inaccessible ground. The physic al strength of a tiger Is something enormous, and Its capacity for devour ing large quantities of food Is scarcely less amazing." THE" TALL HAT IN INDIA. It. Itelmi I. Even More Deapotle Than It' I. In England. From noon till 1:30 p. m. Is the call lug hour, and, though Calcutta even In winter is a hot place, no man who is not an outer barbarian will walk Into a drawing room without a tall silk hat In his hand. SliotiM he drive round In a dog cart to pay his calls, the man wears a helmet or a "sola tope," while lie drives, pulls up at a house door, nsks whether "the gate Is shut," and, If told that it is not, puts on a silk hat, which the syce produces from a hat- box carried under the seat, and goes In to pay his call. Another Instance of the British worship of the tall hat, which the natives consider an Interesting form of piety, Is to be seen nt the Cal cutta races on the day of the Viceroy's cup. On that occasion the lawns and paddock are thronged by people as smartly dressed as can be seen In the roval Inclosnrc at Ascot, but during the early hours of the afternoon all the men wear helmets. Directly the sun dips toward the horizon all the "hear ers" of the helmet hntted men may bo seen outside tho palings of the grand stand Inclosnre, Jumping up like tor rlers to catch sight of their masters, each with a carefully brushed silk hat he has brought for his employer to put on.

The piece did not draw, and Booth decided to have It discontinued. So (as he aft erward told of the incident) be broach ed the subject to Barrett, who Imme diately grew angry. "Do yon mean to say that I can't play it?" he demanded hotly. Booth assured him in a concll Jatory way that he gave the first part fairly, but not the last. In a greater passion than ever, Barrett repeated, "Do you mean to say that I can't play It?" Booth, still trying to not offend him, said, "I don't think you have quite worked Into the last act" Then Bar rett's fury burst Its bounds, and he ter ruinated a torrenttrf Invective with the remark: "Your father's weakness and your brother's crime placed you where you are. But I will live to see you In the gutter and will stand above you. In spite of this the two grew to be friends again and starred in the conibl nation that drew the biggest bouses of the time.
