why He Never Licks stamps.

One day after coming from the post
office put a dozen stamps in my desk
and closed the lid. Then l went away
and returned again an hour or so after
ward. Upon opening my desk saw
upon these stamps at least dozen big,
nasty looking reaches, or water bugs"
as they are sometimes called. They
seemed to be SO intent upon some occu-
patton that they did not run away with
the almost ightninglike rapidity with
which they usually disappeared when
ever the desk was opened.
At first thought that they were stuck
to the stamps, but upon observing a lit
tie closer saw that they moved about,
and l was finally convinced that they
were eating the gum from the backs of
the stamps. By placing large reading
glass so as to magnify the reaches, OBJ
served that they secreted saliva on the
gum and then when it became soft they
seemed to suck it off. Little bare spots
appeared on the stamps, and these spots
gradually grew larger until the stamps
had the appearance of stamps from
which l had imagined the gum had
evaporated.
Since that time you may be sure
never touch my tongue to postage
stamp, and it almost nauseates me to SCI
any one else do it.-Interview in New
York Tribune.

The Two Hands.

1t is remarkable that with the major
ity of people the neglected left hand is
not in mere strength inferior to the
right We have heard truly right hand
ed people actually declare that their left
hand is the stronger, and from the
writer's own experience he knows this
to be the case. This may be from the
mechanical advantage and better bal
ance of the body, the right side being
heavier, or it may be due to the large
muscles of the unused arm being less
hampered by the development of other
muscles 1t is difficult in these cases to
say which is the right hand, for the
fact that the unused arm is the stronger
does not imply ambidexterity, nor can
we justly give the precedence to strength
over dexterity.
Moreover, we cannot call the hand
that excels in one series of dexterous
motions the superior hand if it can be
shown that the other is chosen to
perform an act which, apparently tri-
fling, may require some knack or nicely
of touch 1t is the hand put forth in
emergency. when taken by surprise,
! that makes spontaneous gesture, the
! hand that acts first, which is the fright

A Business woman's Lesson.

A business woman often takes letters
and packages to the general postoffice to
be weighed AS often as she has done
that she has been impressed anew with
the weak and trivial curiosity of the
male mind, for every time she handed in
something to be weighed the busy men
in charge stopped to turn it over and
read the address.
sit certainly beats anything" she said
to herself, Ito think of anything being
as curious as that.
A few days ago she repeated this ex-
perience-up to certain point. The
variation began when the examining
magnate said cheerfully: BE a good
idea, wouldn't it, for you to put on here
the state these here papers sis goin' to?
Yes, certainly, I'll write it for you.
Guess I've saved 500 bundles from being
lost in the last three weeks, lool1in to see
if they was directed all right. | don't
bother about the men; don't care SO
much about their bundles, and then
they've got more head for looking to
such things; but l always look at the
ladies' bundles. Ten cents" And the

the county levy two miles higher for the
purpose of devoting the additional sum
to be realized to the making and inn
