THE AUCTIoNEER'S GIFT.

The auctioneer leaped on a chair, and oold
and loud and clear,
He poured his cataract of words, just like an
auctioneer,
An auction sale of furniture, where some
hald mortgage
Was bound to get his money back, and pay
his lawyers fee.
A humorist of wide renown, this doughty
auctioneer
His isjoking raised the loud gufiaw, and brought
the answering jeer.
He scattered round his jests like rain. on the
unjust and the just;
Sam Sleeman said he "lafied so much he
thought that he would bust"
He Knocked down bureaus. beds, and stoves,
and clocks and chandeliers,
And a grand piano, which he swore would
'last a thousand years."
He ratified out the crockery, and sold the Sill
verware;
At last they passed him up to sell little o"-
by's chair.
How much, how much? come, make Id;
is all your money spent?"
And then a cheap. facetious wag C c'me up
and bid, zone cent"
Just then a sad-faced woman, who stood IN
silence there,
Broke down and cried, "My baby's chair! My
poor, dead baby's chair"
Here, madam, take your baby's chair" said
the soflened auctioneer.
al know It's value all too well, my baby died
last year;
And il the owner Of the chair, our friend, the
mortgage,
Objects to this proceeding, let him send the
bill to mel"
Gone was the tone of railery; the humorist
auctioneer
Turned shamefaced from his audience, TO
brush away tear
The laughing crowd was awed and still, no
fearless eyes were there
When the weeping woman reached and look
her little babys chair.

Willis q. Tucker, in his report to
the New York State Board Of Health
on the result OF his examination OF
various popular brands Of cigaretts.
says that careful analysis Of tobacco
and paper failed to reveal any poison
Gus ingredients other than the tobac-
co itself, and that most cigarettes
contain pure tobacco and good paper.
The evils OF cigarette smoking are
due TO the fact that cigarettes are
cheap, convenient, and can be used
in large and excessive quantities.
that the smoke Is usually inhaled,
and that children and mature per
sons freely use them.

Why We Are Rieht-Handed.

Primitive man, being by nature n
fighting animal, fought for the most
part with his teeth. nails and fists;
until in process OF time he added TO
these early and natural weapons the
club or shillalah. He also fought, as
Darwin has shown, in the main for
the possession of the females of his
kind aud against other members OF
his sex and species. II you fight you
soon learn 10 protect the most ex-
posed and vulnerable parts OF the
body. Or, il you don't, natural Sc
lection manages il for you by seeing
that YOU are killed OF as an immedi-
ate consequence.
To the boxer, wrestler or hand-to-
hand combatant the heart and the
pit OF the stomach are without doubt,
the most vulnerable parts OF the body.
4 hard blow on the left breast will
stun the strongest man and some
times even kill. Hence from an early
time in his history man has used his
right hand TO fight with, EN-
ploying the left in protecting the
heart aud stomach from stunning
blows, and when weapons Of defense
were invented il was the right hand
that was used TO grasp the club,
spear or sword. while the left hand
was employed in holding a shield
over the heart and other exposed
parts.
From this simple origin, then, the
whole vast difference in right and left
hand in civilized life takes its begin
ming. At first, TO doubt, the super
iority of the right hand was only felt
in fighting. But this alone gave il
advantage, and paved the way for
supremacy elsewhere. When weap-
ons came into general use, the habi-
tual employment OF the right hand to
grasp club, spear, knife or sword
made the muscles OF the right hand
more obedient TO the control OF the
will than those OF the left. The deI-
terity thus acquired by the right
hand made il quite handy for the
savages TO employ il preferentially In
all the manifold activities OF life.
