Reasons for Giving to the Latter Some of

The deSpised left hand makes good
its claims in many cases to be the
DETER of the two The fingers that
touch and adjust with such nicely the
strings of the violin are surely as cum
aing as those that move the bow. The
hand that guides the reins and steers
with exactness the horse through the
crowded streets is quite as cunning as,
one might say much more than, the
hand that wields the whip. But great

would appear thatas life becomes more
and more complex we are becoming
more and more specialized. and
the difference between our limbs is
encouraged. rather than hindered, by
every pair of scissors turned off at Shelf
field, by every screw made in Birming-
ham and by every slap administered to
the young offending fingers that would
dare to shake hands incorrectly.
1t Is curious to note the vag&ries OF
humanity in eases where no hard and
fast line has already been drawn. AL
though most right-handed persons put
on their coats left arm first, q consider

first. Soldiers fire from the right shoul-

fer the left. In working with the spade
a proportion Of right-handed men grasp
the spade with the left and push with
left foot and right hand: though. when
using an AK, the same individuals would
grasp furthest down the right. The
Persians mount their horses from the
right side, which is the different side
from that mounted by Europeans.
The buttons on coats, etc. are placed
on the right side and the shed OF the

manipulation by the right hand. The
great philosopher Newton records that
at first he confined his astronomical OBJ
servatiens to his right eye. but after
ward he managed to train his left. But
there are persons who could not do
this. owing to the unequal strength of
their eyes. Strange tosay, the Chinese

THE GOLD RESERVE INTACT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-For the first
lime since April 10, 1888 when the gold
reserve fell below 800 COG, 600, the reserve
has been made intact. The gold in the
treasury today. exclusive of that held as a
basis for gold certificates, amounts 10
el00, ~, $40. leaving S791. $40 IN free gold.
This gold has come into the United States
from Europe, Mexico and the West In
sizes, much of it being gold sent out of the
United States during the late spring and
early summer months. Information re-
ceived here in treasury circles indicates
that SO, 000, coo in gold is low on the way
from Europe to the United States. Most
Of this, it is expected, will find its way, as
Usual. into the treasury.
While the gold reserve, however, is in
tact and the free gold is climbing up, the
treasury net balance is declining. the
stated amount today being Sl7. PSI 600. OF
this balance about $4,000, 000 are in
national bank deposits aud the balance in
subsidiary silver.
The receipts, too. for the past few days
have been disappointing, the business
troubles throughout the country having
bad effect upon the government revenues.
These troubles are receiving the closest
possible attention by the treasury officials,
and everything thGj eau be done is being
lone to relieve the situation. Secretary
Carlisle, though absent from the city, is in
connection with the treasury department.

New York with the bankers, directed

"To be sure, they and Miss Barton
can have few ideas in common. l sup
pose she is resting after hours Of tedi-
Gus sewing, and they are rushing off to
display their new gowns and exchange
bits of gossip with their well-dressed,
talkative friends. So far as happiness
Is concerned her heart may be lighter

and Tony turned to his copy of Life.
Miss Barton had assembled two flights
of stairs, entered hall bedroom and
taken off her hat and jacket She sat
down in a creaky old rocking chair and
INDUCED in few tears Exactly why
she cried was a problem to herself She
was accustomed to loneliness; reading
was its antidote. She understood the
treatment accorded her by her neigh
bors. 1t was very weak and silly to
fret; for her time was all to be occupied
for weeks to come, and what more
could she desire? Suppose she had no
work-no means Of paying her board
then, indeed, she might be excused for
sobbing like baby. But she was
fully aware that when she was without
engagements she never dreamed Of cry
ing; she went out and looked for some
thing to do. Perhaps she was hungry.
She had several hours to wait before
dinner would be ready in the close,
heated dining-room. filled with table
boarders, where she gladly presented
herself at six o'clock every evening.
Having decided that it was hunger.
and not wounded pride that had as
sailed her, and being healthy of mind
and body, she opened a drawer, helped
herself to crackers and chocolate, and
while slowly enjoying them noticed
letter on her dressing-table. 1t was
from an old friend of her mothers.
my DEAR TEssIE-I am going to have
charming little gathering next Wednesday
evening, and you must be here for dinner at
seven. Don't fail NE; cancel any tiresome en-
gagements. Yours, with affection,

Miss Barton felt her cheeks warming
with delightful anticipations. Forum
ately, if the world is afflicted with
proud people, it is blessed with
warm-hearted, thoughtful, human men
and women, who keep the balance on
the right side.
On the Wednesday evening following,
Miss Barton found her hostess con-
versing with a tall, slight, attractive
man, whose age was rather battling
owing to his fairness and bright ex-
preston. She presented him to Miss
Barton, and observed that the girl
blushed prettily and seemed rather
more shy than usual.

SUMMER PICTURES.

When morn awakes on the hilltops
And all the fields are fair,
/ walk in the dusk OF the woodland,
Where doors are sweet and rare;
walk in the lingering shadows,
And sing u1y song alone.
And though light is gone and the darkness
There's sorrow In every tone
The flowers are fair on the uplands,
The stream flows bright along.
TIE air is sweet through the pine trees,
And birds are glad with song,
And flushing the golden hilltopS
Awakes the Joyous day.
But there's woe il my heart. ny darling.
For thou art far away.
CONTENT
A gray mist hangs on the hillside,
Where all the flowers lie dead:
The leaves are dank in the woodland
And the fragrance vanished
The voiceless breeze through the valley
Breathes cold and damp and sad.
But sing my songs. and the music
That comes is sweet and glad
For thou art here, my darling.
Thy radiant face see;
And the day. though bleak and cheerlesA
Is sweet as spring TO me;
For thou art here. my loved one,
And look in thy loving eyes
And the heavens, though hmistenshrouded
Are soft as summer skies

a gun, well planted on the road and

twenty of his troopers without waiting

SUMMER NIGHT.

Oh silent night.
Oh, smothering stiffness
That settles. down on dropping bough.
Thou hold'st the earth in breathless slumber
Awake, but now.
Gray N1ists arise
From dew-wet flowers,
That lend their fragrance to the night;
And languid float on breath OF summer
An incense light
A pale moon shines
On weary grasses.
That bend their heads with mournful grace;
Then sinks behind the white clouds floating,
And wells her face.
Heat auivers Oft
In lightning flashes
Along the soft gray northern sky,
And iiluminates the grand old forest
In shade near by.
A bird sings out
In broken stanZas
From yon tall bush with blossoms fair,
Dream songs that, sung in drowsy snatcheA
Arouse the air,
And echoes ind
In hidden music,
That soft descend from regions high,
And wake the sleeping, sultry breezes
To softly sigh.
