THE LITTLE FOLKS.
The WAY TO Do IL.


III tell you how l speak piece:
First make my bow:
Then bring my words out clear
And plain as l know how.
Next throw my hands up, so!
Then lift my eyes
That's 10 let my hearers know
Something doth surprise.
Next grin and show my teeth,
Nearly every one
Shake my shoulders, hold my sides;
That's the sign ef fun.
Next start and knit my brow,
Hold my head erect;
Something's wrong, you see, and
Decidedly object.
Then l wabble at my knees,
Clutch at shadows near,
Tremble well from top to toe;
That's the sign of fear.
Soon scowl, AID with a leap
Seize an airy dagger.
Wretch :" cry. That's tragedy,
Every soul 10 stagger.
Then let my voice grow faint,
Gasp ana hold my breath;
Tumble down aud plunge about:
That's villains death.
Quickly then come to life,
Perfectly restored;
With bow my speech is done,
Now, you. please applaud.

FROM recent lecture on cremation !:
The amount of heat necessary to de-

Both Hands Useful.

Why cannot a child be taught TO use
both hands with equal facility? The
acquisition would never be worthless,
and it might be OF immense convenience
to him his twofold skill would ever be
a source of satisfaction and advantage.
He would be free at any moment TO rest
a hand exhausted by protracted use,
without any interruption of his work
he would be less likely to be disabled by
trifling hurts and in case one hand
were stiffened by heavy labor, the
other might be kept in readiness for
delicate manipulations, for writing,
drafting, and the like. The right
handed man who can use hammer or
a knife readily with his left hand, can
tie or unite knot when his right
hand is otherwise engaged, will find fire.
quent use for his skill. Indeed, the add
vantages we miss through the neglect of
the left hand are infinite in number and
of incessant recurrence. They are
among the taxes we pay to customs.
