Chief Rain-in-the-F Face had sworn that he

There were fully 5000 Indians at the

hand and a sword In the other, entered
the building. When he got inside he

silence fell on the, room, which was
crowded with friends of the chief. The
captain then told the interpreter to point
out Rain-in-the- Face. This was done.
and stepping up to him the intrepid
cavalry officer p{aced the muzzle Of his

Train theI,eft Hand.

LII Is very strange that SO strong and
unklnd a prejudice against the left hand
has lived and increased for centuries
when there is no natural or physiological
reason for it. I mean to say that if you
examine the skeleton of person who
was strong, healthy and well formed in
HE, you will find that the bones Of the
LETT hand and arm are just as many
and just as large and perfect as
those of the right. The study Of
physiology viii show you too that the
muscles and ligaments and cartilages
that fastened that PERSONS arms to his
body and gave them the power of mo-
ton were made to do their work lust
as well on one side of the body as on the
other. II the left side were the weaker
OF the two, it was because of failure to
exercise it as freely as the other. Monkeys
and cats and other animals, to whom
paws are in a certain sense hands, would
smile derisiyely, ] imagine, if you should
suggest to them that paws were rights or
iefts, Or that the paw on the one side
could do more than its mate. When,
therefore, boy OF girl says that he or
she can throw a ball, handle a racket or
do anything else, only with the right
hand. it is direct admission that a
monkey or cat is physically better
equipped than that boy or girl. And
yet il IS the general belief that human
beings are the most perfectly formed Of
creatures.

while one thief stands on watch his confed-
crate effects an entrance to an unoccupied
room by means of a skeleton key, and closes
the door behind him.
He then rapidly bores hole Immediately
over the bolt, and sflls up each end with
white putty. If the lock is a double one, as
Is the case in many frst-class hotels, small
hole is drilled through it, SO that the nippers
can be used ca the inside lock in turning the
key after tie victim has retired. A half

within an hour. This completes the work
for the morning. The afternoon is used in

MORAN WATER.

o Moran! how I see thee dance
BY heath clad hills, alone, unseen,
Save where the lonely eagles glance
Surveys thee from its crag serene.
Forever joyos thou dost seem,
Still sportive as child at play,
Who, lost in pleasures careless dream.
Makes merry music all the day.
BY fairy hooks see thee flow,
Nor pausing in thy artless song
Till where the fir trees spreading low
Obscure thy stream their arms among.
There, sweet amid the shady gloom,
Thou hearst the biackbird chant his lay.
Thou seest the pale primroses bloom
And silent ling'rest on thy way;
Then forth thy waters dazzling come
Where sweet brier scents the balmy breeze,
And where the wild bees softly hum
Faint echo of thy harmonies.
Green spiky gorse thy banks adorn,
Gold tassel'd broom thy fringe work weave,
While feathered choirs from dewy morn
Make melody till dewy eve.
Then on by pleasant farms that hreatue
OF calm contenlr,ent's happy cliIue,
Or laughing wheToJne ivy's wreath
Clings round the ruins of olden time.
And on where stately mansions rise,
Or lowly CLEANS the cottage hearth;
Unchanged thy smile still meets the skies
Unchanged still rings thy song OF mirth.
