Instances Of people who write and
make figures with both hands are by
no means rare In the old Democrat
Office, before the partnership WIS dis
solved and the Globe Democrat started,
two accountants were employed who,
in posting the books, generally made
figures with the left hand and posted
the items with the right. A book.
keeper in one and a cashier in another
large Wholesale house in st. Louis
now work in the same way, and a re
porter on a morning paper writes with
either hand, and it is impossible to
distinguish any difference in the for.
nation Of the letters.
A more remarkable instance of dual
faculties than any mentioned is that
Of q gentleman wellknown in this
clty-Mr. T.. g. Lakeland. Mr..
Lakeland was for some time Treasurer
Of the Fair Association and excited
no little attention and remark among
those who saw him using alternately
either hand in writing letters and mes
sages. The on-lookers we're, however,
still more astonished 10 see him when
in a hurry grasp a pen or pencil and
write rapidly with both hands, and
would have been yet more amazed had
they known that the messages he was
at work on at the same time were adj.
dressed TO different people and entirely
difierentin character. When not busy
enough to employ both hands he gen.
orally uses the left, but the character
Of the chirography is the same, and it
is doubtful if be himself knows the
difference. He does not seem to con-

gift of talent, and would no doubt
have been much amused had he heard
the remark made by an acquaintance,
who, after seeing him write two letters
at once, confdentially informed a
friend that he must have his brains
parted in the middle or be possessed of
two sets. The science of medicine
teaches that unusual mental strain or
activity correspondingly depresses the
system physically. but the rule evil

or having a kicking COW on which
moral suasion had been vainly tried,
cured her of the bad habit by judic.
ious use OF the mild weapon which
Solomon held in much esteem: al
tied the animal up by the head (not
legs, procured good switch (not
club, and proceeded to milk, and for
every kick | turned one good smart
blow with the switch ON the offending
leg. A few kicks and blows sufficed
for that time. At the next milking
only three or four blows were required,
and at the third milking one kick and
one blow were sufficient, and ever at

Three important points are TO be OBJ

uniform kindness aud gentleness; Sc
cond, never strike a COW for kicking
When loose in the yard, or she will
learn TO run from you; third, only one
blow for each kick"

sermon he was preparing. To avoid
publicity and accidents he locked
himself in his study and threw the
key out of the window. In less than
an hour he was singing and dancing
instead of writing; about 4 o'clock in
the afternoon he climbed out of his
window and slid down the lightning
rod, fell into swill barrel, kissed a
woman in the street, got licked by
two men at different times, broke a
window, stole dog, sassed police

socked it to him most awfully-thirty
days-but his church forgave him
and took him back on his solemnly

us Fathers Complexion.

Mr.. Blanket sat looking at the baby
with wistful far.oG look in his eyes,
trying to think of the usual idiotic,
unmeaning and unmeant things that
people say about new babies, and AT
last, as spasm Of originality, re-
marked that the baby had its faith

looked at the rich cardinal hues that
made the wrinkled countenance Of the
unconscious infant glow like a noun
tain sunset, and nobody said anything
until feeble voice from an adjoining
room said at was a good thing that
the baby had it naturally, then, as il
required about fifteen years steady
practice, and the cooperation of three
scientific clubs and five political cam.

quiet smile stole over the room again,
only broken by the hard breathing Of
the babys father, looking at the Their
mometer TO see what time it was,
while Mr.. Blanket, feeling that he
could add nothing to what had already
been said, stole down the stairs, softly
whispering to himself about some old
fool; but the company couldn't catch
the name, and the company didn't
know whom he meant.

Mr. Barnes Tapped Lung.

A. II. Barnes, Of this place, fights
Of consumption by wearing silver
tube, which passes between the ribs
into the lungs. In 1S49 Mr.. Barnes,
then living in Sycamore, DeKalb
county, ILL.,, was declared an incura-
bic consumptive. The lung was tap
ped and he recovered. In 1863 he
was again taken down by the disease,
when he once more resorted to the
tube and has worn itever since. There
is daily discharge Of matter. Mr..
Barnes is a man Of very regular and
temperate habits, does not use tabacco
in any form nor stimulants Of any
kind; hardly ever uses any medicine,
excepting sometimes little iron for
the blood; is always feeling we'll when
the hole in his side is open, sometimes
feeling heaviness there, but has got
used TO that. The case is certainly
worthy of the special attention of med.
ical men. II seems to give man
new lease of life, even when apparent
