The Electioneering Q Little Too Hot,

From the New York Tribune
Il remember" said the colonel, laughing to
himself, "when Charley Wilson was running for
coroner in our county in Colorado 1t was
dead sure thing for him because he was backed
by the sheriff and the sheriff always had his
own way. Elections out there in those days
were not very exciting until about two DAYS
before the voting. Then had NICE enter
tanning times. for every one quit work, what
ever his work might be. and began to warm up
for the election.
"Well, Wilson went around with Q smile on
his face that would have encircled a hogshead
He had never held Office before and the pros
pect tickied him nightly. 1t was Just two
days before election that the sheriff began TO
warm up and by night he was red hot. He was
buttonholing every one he met to vote for
Wilson and his enthusiasm was something ire
sistible. He and Wilson got into q difference
over the plan Of election that evening. Wilson
wanted to let every man vote rs he saw fit,
while the sheriff declared that the way to run
an election was to so to the polls and watch
every man cast his ballot.
And Wen argue with EN- he said, tapping
his six-shooter with his big hand.
Wilson was O peaceful man and this plan did
not meet his approval at all. However. by
o'clock the sheriff was in such q condition of
enthusiasm that he was willing to compromise
and all seemed to be going well for our candi-
date. He and the sheriff were in a back room
Of the saloon discussing the situation when be
heard shots. We thought that they had got
into fight, and We ran back there on the
jump. We found Wilson under a table, while
the sheriff stood in the center Of the room. In
his right hand was q Colts six-shooter and in
his left hand bulldog revolver. He was dane
ing around on one leg, blazing away with both
hands, with one shooting into the ceiling and
with the other into the floor. We waited until
his ammunition was exhausted, and then we
dragged Wilson from under the table.
THAT let's me out be said, with his teeth
chattering.
"'WhyT we asked.

row. he said.
"'Oh, that's his way Of carrying An election

Experimenting in Illinois on q Parasite De-
structive to the Pest.
A dispatch from Champaign, Ill. saws: Early
last spring Prof Forbes. state entomologist, re-
ceived from the Smithsonian Institution at
Washington few of the Larvae of a parasite
supposed to be destructive to the Hessian fy
This parasite is found only in Europe. He
undertook to experiment to prove whether
these Larvae are destructive TO the fly here, and
if so. in what degree. In order to determine
this small patch of wheat. about yard
square. was inclosed in a box. arranged so that
the grain could have light and air to grow.
A considerable number of Hessian flies and
the Larvae mentioned were put in the box. SO
closed that they could not escape and other
insects get in. and thus the experiment was
begun. The Larvae have Matched and are -four

seem to have been created solely to prey upon

under the hUsk of the straw. and, boring down
into 1t. the parasite lays its egg inside the egg
OF the fly. There it DEVELOPS into d grub, con-

This Is an outline of what has been proved
by the experiment made. The parasite was
first discovered committing its depredations
upon the Hessian fly in the wheat fields of
southern Russia.

The "Typewriter's Knife"

From the Chicago Mail.

street the other day to purchase penknife.
american penknives and jacknivcs compare
favorabiy with those of foreign manufacture"
said the proprietor, shut here is a class Of
goods that We haven't undertaken to compete
with yet" AS he spoke he pointed toward a
large show case filed with stilettos, daggers,
pouiards and dirks.
But is there ready market for this sort Of
murderous steel?' 1 inquired.
.'Oh, yes indeed he replied. "You would
be surprised if you knew how many of these
weapons We sell and the class of people who
buy them. We do not sell many stilettos to
Italians and other foreigners as we do to
Americans. Most Italians carry stilettos. but
they bring them across the water with them.
Besides these goods are comparatively costly
from an Italian point of view. The cheapest
one in this case is worth $3.50. Americans buy
them--business men and professional men.
And the funniest thing about it is the fact that
they never admit that they want the stilettos
for the purposes of self-defense. They drop in
here and ask for a paper cutter, or sta
toners knife or an ink eraser but they
never ask for the weapon they really want,
and the one they get. In fact, this is such a
familiar trick that l have taken ad-
vantage OF it. Here, look at this knife 1 have
had that brand manufactured especially for my
own trade. You will observe that the blade il
four and one-half inches long; that it is a.
sharp a razor on both edges; that it has a
regular hit. 1t is dagger-nothiug more
and nothing less. call it 'typewriter's knife
because it is used by great many typewriters
In erasing misprints. 1t has the additional ad-
vantage that it can be carried without violation
Of the ordinance against concealed weapons. A
year ago one Of my customers was set upon by
q couple of fellows rear 18th street, and he
carved them both with one of these typewriter
knives. The three men were arrested, and the
man who did the bloody work was discharged
because he proved to the satisfaction OF
the court that the weapon he used was not car
ried for offense or defense, but was merely one
Of the tools Of his trade. Nevertheless, that
little eraser is long enough to be driven
right through a man 8 heart and is las sharp and
dangerous a weapon as have in my shop. l
have sometimes wondered whether that judge
would have been quite so Ienient if he had
known that had ordered that brand Of type
writer's knives with the idea that they would
be harmless enough to keep within the bounds
OF the law and deadly enough lowell, deadly
enough to sell readily"

Interview With a Cannibal in . South
American Newspaper.

A little three-cOIumn newspaper arrived at
New York the other day which bore the most sem
sational news which it probably ever printed.
The newspaper WAS printed on June and was
from the state of Chihuaha, Santa Rosalia, South
America A translation Of the article referred
to is as follows:
At Salinas in the state of Minas Brazil, a
man named Clemente Viera has been arrested
charged with eating human flesh. The editor
of the local paper, Cida de Leopotdina, visited
Viera in Jail and had the following interview
with him:
lis it true that you nourish yourself upon
human feshs' was asked.
"Yes, SIR" answered the prisoner. "For
some time and my friends Basilio, Leandro
and others have eaten human flesh; We have
lived on it.c
"What motive had impelled you to such
barbarous acts before God aud mani"
Because We liked it.
How did you secure the first victim?''
With the utmost frankness Viera replied:
Upon going one day 10 Leandro's house he
had had nothing to eat; was hungry and ac-
cepted the invitation. The following day,
while returning to my house, found a woman
asleep by the roadside. The thought came to
me to kill her. l did SO, using a stone as my
weapon. 1 took the body to my home. After
some days killed Simpliso and invited Fran
cisca and Severa to help me eat him.
when Simplisos flesh was consumed.
having no other resource, it occurred to me to
kill his two sons for further supply OF food
With two blows the deed was done. The flesh
of the two children lasted US fortnight After
this time had elapsed, being thrown again into
the old predicament of having nothing to eat.
Basiiio and myself killed Francisco and de-
voured him.
FINALLY, having discovered that Bassilio had
stolen shirt from me, killed him while he
was off his guard engaged in preparing some
roots for his supper. ! ate very little Of him,
for was caught two days after had killed
him."
Viera was captured in the very act Of max
| which he was devouring with evident relish.
The soldiers found a part Of Basilio's body
packed away in q barrel. prepared with pepper
and salt.
Then has human flesh an agreeable taste?"
Viera asked.
NO" he replied; sit is too sweet The
parts found the most toothsome were the
tongue and the brain. No doubt my stomach
was turned each time I partook Of human
flesh"
slow did you prepare the Aesh for eating?"
I'VE ate IL roasted or boiled, seasoned with
salt and great deal of pepper"
"And did not the remains Of your victims
inspire you with fear?"
Somewhat yet the sight Of them did not

And do you sleep calmly now?"
"Yes, ever so TRANQUILITY"
"Do you ever feel remorso at having been
guilty of such deeds?'
Il cannot remember that I ever do" visrs

RIGHT AND LEFT-HsNDEDNES
The Use Of the Right Hand Due to superio,
Developments of the Right Brain.

Inc Use OF the Right Hand Due to Superior
Developments of the Right Brain.
From the st. Louis Republic.
Psychologists and others have given much
time to the discussion of right and left handed
ness as exhibited in the human species The
opinion now generally held 10 that the prefer
ential use of the RICH: hand is not due in in,ii-
vidual cases to early training. but to a superior
development of the left lobe of the brain. which.
as is well known, 10 connected with the right
side Of the body.
The general use Of the right hand in prefer
ence 10 the left may be ascribed to the educa-
ton of the races through generation after gen.
GRAFTON. No animal shows any unusual inclina-
ton for the special use or the right limbs. The
attribute, belonging solely TO the human race
probably arose gradually from the Use. by the
earlier races of men, of the right arm in fight
ing, while the left side arm was reserved "a
cover the left side Of the body, where wounds
their experience showed them, were most
dangerous.
Those who neglected this precaution would
be most likely to be killed; and hence in the
lapse of time the natural survival would make
the human race in general ''right-hauded,'
with occasional reversions. Of course, by ''atav-
ism" to the .left-handed' condition. The
more frequent and energetic use of the right
limbs would react upon the brain and briag
about the excessive development of the left
lobe Of that organ, such now generally exists.
The left hand should be used as much and as
often as possible, thus adding strength to both
mind and body.
