Using Both Hands.

The Scientific american asks: Why
should not child be taught to write
and draw with both hands The very
natural echo is, "Why?" The human
body can be educated to do almost any
thing. Men have written with their
toes and done all sorts of wonderful
things with their teeth and yet since
the Gseation of man that intelligent
animal seems to have regarded the left
hand as sort of tender to the right.
In fact, the left hand is the LATEST
member of the human body. When
the right is scribbling away for bare
life the left looks on placidly; keeps
down the paper with it's fingers and
shows its rings. In truth, the only
things in which it seems to excel, ex-
cept when occasionally helping its big
brother in an Indifferent sort of way,
consists in hitting from the shoulder in
prize fight, and in using a fork to ad-
vantage. The left hand is always too
pretty to do any work. Ladies show
off it's lines of beauty while delicately
resting their lovely chins upon it's fin
gers. Let poor fellow have his right
hand shot away, and then just see what
the left hand can do In a wonderfully
short space of time it can button coat,
write letter, and do things which, in
his palmy days, it never dreamed Of.
By all means educate the left hand,
and, if it will not work, make it. There
is nothing in the world to hinder man
writing two letters at once, like Ristori
in "Queen Elizabeth" and keeping up
an animated conversation with his un-
ruly member at the same time. The
left hand was given to man to do its
share in the business of life, just as
much as its twin brother in boots. Al
present it is kind of loafer, doing
the gentle pressure business in love
affairs, and having all the fun. Weare
down on left hands, and strongly rec,
ommend that they be put to school.

Stoves in London.

There is plenty of weather in Lon
don, says the Danbury man, but no
stoves. The absence of stove stores is
SO conspicuous no one from America
can help noticing it. I spoke to an
Englishman about it and volunteered
to mingle my fears with his, but he
said: t''
"No stove shops? Oh, my, yes.
Plenty of them plenty of them. Oh,
Oh, Oh, my; Oh, my, yes. Plenty of
them-plenty of them. Oh, yes, in
deed"
That's the way an Englishman talks,
especially if he is an English woman.
He is very fond of lnteriections, and
always gives q rising infection to the
last word of the sentence. The repre-
sentative Englishman is an altogether
different looking person from the rep
resentative American, but the masses
of both sides would blend well, in fea-
lures and dress, but no amount of study
and practice will enable an American
to talk like an Englishman. There is
where an Englishman. has the advan-
tage of us, thank Heaven.
But have seen no stove stores, never
theless. At the International Exhibi-
ton, in a department devoted with O

specimens of cook stoves, but any num-

The Sugar Crop,

It is acknowledged that the sugar
crop of the United States fer the pres
ent year. will be o total failure, on ac-
count of the Mississippi overflow. One
result will be that the Spanish customs
robbers in Cuba will impose extraordi-
nary duties upon sugar imported to
this country. In this way they take
advantage Of orr misfortunes, not only
to keep up the, war against the repub-
lie, but to fill their own pockets with
American gold, as usual If the port
of Havana alone were controlled by
friends of this Government or of the
American people, if the Cuban repub-
lie, for instance, had control, matters
would be different, and our misfortunes
would not be used to enrich our enc
mics. AS it is, we may expect to be
subjected to impositions, as a nation, at
the hands of the Spaniards, as our citi-
zens have been subjected to individual
cruelties and spoliation.

AnecdOte Of Neal Dow.

On one occasion Lorenzo Dow took
the liberty of denouneing a rich mau
in the community recently deceased.
The result was an arrest, n trial for
SANDER, and imprisonment in the coun,
ty jail. After Lorenzo got out of his
" limbo" he announced that, in spite
of this Tin his opinion) unjust punish
ment, he would deliver a sermon about
"another rich man." The populace
were greatly excited, and crowded
audience greeted his appearance. With
great solemnity he opened the Bible,
and read, "And there was another rich
man who died and went to" then
stopped short, and seemed to be sud
denly impressed. Brethren, I shall
not mention the place this rich man
went, to, for I feel that he has some
relatives in the congregation that will
sue me for defamation of character |"
The effect on the assembled multitude
was irresistible, and they never alluded
to the subject again.

Buried with Him.

When the late king of the Sandwich
Islands was gathered to his fathers he
was buried in feather cloak which had
passed down to him through genera
tions of royal chieftains. When the
remains were to be placed in the coffin,
and were removed from the feather
robe on which they had lain in state,
his aged father commanded that the
body be buried in the robe, as the dead
king, his son, was the last of the fam
lily, and to him, therefore, it belonged.
It will cost more than 100000 to re-
place this robe, if it ever is replaced,

Prevention Of SunstrOke.

As the season of sunstroke is at hand,
the following suggestions from one who
has given scientific attention to the
matter will be worthy of reading by all
who are compelled to be much in the
sunlight during the heat of the day:
"About year since sawin news
paper an account of case of sunstroke,
written by the party himself, After
suffering long time from the attack,
and having to a considerable degree re-
covered, he experienced suffering even
from the rays of the moon. This led
him to reflection that it was not alto
gether the heat of the sun that produced
prostration. After much research he
discovered that the injury came from
the chemical ray, and not from the
heat ray. He was guided to this by
observing the fact that a photograph
could not be taken through hollow
glass. Accordingly he lined his hat
with two Innings lone of orange yellow
to arrest the chemical ray, and one of
green to arrest the heat ray. Thus pre-
pared, he went where the rays of the
sun were most intense with perfect i'm
punity. 1t is we'll known that the negro
is seldom sunstruck. The color OF his
skin over the skull being of the orange
yellow, may assist in accounting for the
fact. I practiced upon this suggestion
all last summer, lined my hat with
green and orange yellow paper, and had
confidence enough in the truth OF the
theory to neglect my umbrella, which I
had never done before. I mentioned it
to many, who tried 1t also, and in many
cases that came under my observation
they uniformly asserted that the OPP
pressive heat Of the sun upon tho head
was much Telieysd.H Il ,Holl code ,ai1

There are faces, says an exchange,

The old adage, Death loves = shining

the death of Miss GEORGIA e. THUMEL, who

circle, and was the idol Of a household where
love has always reigned. Her culture and In

panior, and har society was sought for most
by those whose refinement made them in turn
companionable to her. Few young ladies of
her years enjoyed so large and generous a
popularity, and few deserved It better. And
this was not limited to those Of her own
years, but extended TO many OF matured ex-
perience in life, who knew and valued her as

THE VATICAN.
a ROmish COrrez pOndent's Views ON the
Progress of Roman Catholicism
In the United states.

New YORK, Jule S.-A letter from
Rome, speaking of the Vatican, says:
"a curious fact TO make record of Il,
that one frequently hears the United
States praised for its liberal treatment of
Catholics, both now and with few ex-
ceptions in the whole course of its his
tory. The only serious Offense charged
against the United States is that we will
still persist in maintaining those dread
full public schools, which makes it less
hopeful for the Jesuits to find in that
vast country ground for the propagation
of the doctrines Of Syllabus and papsl
infallibility. The priests say that what
the Catholic church has lost in Europe
in the past few centuries has been more
than made up by what it has gained in
the new world. The first steps have
been taken, and before long bestifica-
ton will be bestowed by the church upon
the name of Christopher Colum bus.
The examioation of his title to Catholic
heroism has for some time, by command
of the pope, engaged the attention of
the doctors Of canon law. The claim is
founded upon the great act as being no
less that Of inspiration, by which Col
umbus enlarged the boundaries of the
christian world"
