stration at Davenport.

assiduously in the matter of making
the Labor Day celebration in Daven-
port success. 1t is expected that
the demonstration will bring to the

heve that this estimate is much too

All the cities within a radius of
several hundred miles nave been eX-
tensively billed, and word comes that
they will be largely represented.
The industrial pageant will be the
chief feature in the observance of
the day. and it will be participated
in by thousands of toilers. All the
trades organizations of the three
cities will be in line. Military COM
panies will he there too. and several
fraternal societies have also signified
their intention of turning ont. With
these thousands Of men in line and
numerous bands filling the air with
melody. the occasion will indeed be
gala one.

For the Use of the Right Hand.

The buttons on coats. etc, are placed on
the right side and the shed of the hair in
boys to the left evidently to suit mauip-
ulation by the right hand. The great
philosopher Newton records that at
first he confined his astronomical OBJ
servations to his right eye, but afterward
he managed to train his left. But there
are persons who could not do this, owing
to the unequal strength of their eyes,
