afternoon. Forty '93 men appeared as
candidates for the freshmen's eleven,

An English Dorgia.

The first detailed record of female
p~oisoner in England is furnished in
the case of Amy Hutchinson, a native
of the Isle Of Ely. She seems to have
married a man about whom she cared
nothing, for no other than the fem
mime reason that she wished to
spite her sweetheart. Repentance
came, not at leisure, but inn
mediatcly. Her favo.ite happening TO
return 10 London just ms the newly
welded pair were coming out Of
church, the. bride was greatly affected
at lie recollection or-Tormbr scenes
and the irrevocable ceremony which
had now passed.
Soon Hutchinson became jealous of
his wife, a quarrel ensued, aud he
beat her with much severity. She
bought a quantity of arsenic, which
she administered iIshis ale, and, meet
ing her lover, acquainted him with
what had passed. He advised her to
buy more poison, fearing that the first
might not be sufficient, but Hutchin.

widow, who was described as a tall,
fine girl" was burnt for ''petit trea-

female prisoner, Ann Williams, was
burnt three years later. This barbar.
ous punishment was repealed by an

WHY WE ARE RIGHT HANDED.
Primitive Man Was a Fighter and Use,

frimitiNe Wan Was a Fighter and Used
His Left Hand t. shield His Heart.
Primitive man, being by nature a
lighting animal. fought for the most
part at first with his great canine
teeth. his nails and his fists, till in
process of time he added to those early
and natural weapons the further per
suasions of a club or shillalah. He
also fought, as Darwin has ~conclus-
lively shown, in the main for the pos
session of the ladies Of his kind.
against other members of his own sex
aud species. And if you fight you
soon learn TO protect the most ex-
posed aud vulnerable portion of your
body, Or. if you don't, natural Sc
lection manages il for you, by killing
you OIL as an immediate consequence.
20 the boxer, wrestler or lland-to.
hand-combatant that most vulnerable
portion Is undoubtedly the heart. A
hard blow, well delivered on the left
breast. will easily kill. or at any rate,
stun "A strong man. Hence. from an
early period men have used the right
hand 10 light with. and have employ
ed the left arm chiefly 10 cover the
heart and 10 parry a blow aimed at
that specially vulnerable region. And
when weapons of oifensc aud defense
superScde mere fists and teeth, il is the
right hand that grasps the spear or
sword, while the left holds over the
heart for defense the shield or buck.
Ter.
From this simple origin then, the
whole vast difference of right and left
in civilized life takes its beginning.
At first, no doubt, the superiority of
the right hand was only felt in the
manner Of fighting. But that alone
gave il a distinct pull, and paved the
way at last for the supremacy else.
where. For when weapons came into
use. the habitual employment Of the
right hand to grasp the spear, sword
or knife, made the nerve or muscles
of the right side far more obedient TO
the control of the will than those of
the left. The dexterity thus acquired
by the right-see how the word ''dex-
terity" implies this fact-made it more
natural for the early hunter and artiii.

grasped his weapon; il was therefore
the hand with which he Clipped it.
To the end, however, the right hand
remains especially the hand in which

mas probably Tor two centuries peen

has probably Tor two centuries peen
wei known in Europe. The iorets,
whether of the ray or the disk, are
never blue, but they appear with al
most every other possible color. The
books say that the Chinese for long
ages must have been carefully inn
proving the plant, and that their great
richness in development and variety
OF properties has risen from sporadic
peculiaatieS and intermiSture With
allied species unknown in Europe.
This last effect would be produced by
insects bringing with them in their
visits TO the flowers the pollen Of
neighboring plants.
The remarkable variability of these
plants is partly due TO an excellent
constitution, which allows them to be
easily propagated by cuttings. About
half Of the flower heads should be de-
stroyed To increase the size and beauty
of those which remain. Not being
delicate some kinds will submit to
their stems being pegged down near
the surface of the ground, and the
beauty of a garden plot is remarkable
when the flowers of certain hardy va
rieties are in this way so restricted as
to rise only a few inches from the
