A ragged, barefooted boy, crossing
sweeper, had dotted his cap to the Ouch
ess of Sutherland in the hope OF recog-
milton, when he observed wen dressed
but rakish looking mar following her
across the street, as if trying to force
upon her attentions that were evidently
obnoxious to her. There was look of
distress on the duchess face.
"Scuse me, lady," said a boys voice
beside her, ''shall punch lis 'eadg' /.
She turned, looked down angrily upon
the little sweeper, and then said, smiling:
why, it's Jemmiev'
She had remembered his name after
all, and at that moment the boy was hers,
body and soul. Without waiting for
another word he dashed off and turned
q sort of violent ''cartwheep' so adroitly
calculated that he landed with two very
muddy feet in the middle of the offensive
mans waistcoat.
Then, before the man could recover
from the shock, the boy had slapped him
with one muddy hand across the mouth
and with the other had deposited hand
full of the filthy compound on the back
of his neck.
The next moment the boy was in the
grasp of policeman, who dragged him
away to the nearest police station. He
was just being charged by the constable
with having committed an assault when
the duchess entered. She spoke kindly
to the gamin and then explained the af-
fair to the inspector on duty.
AT her request the boy was set at
liberty, and he staid only long enough
to say to the inspector:

the cab run over me eg."-London Cor.

When driving, you must watch the
road. Turn out for stones, so that the
horse shall not stumble nor the wheels
jolt over them; avoid the mudholes
and places where the going is bad; let
the horse slacken speed when the road
becomes heavy, and if you want to make
up time do it where the ground slightly
descends.
1t is q common mistake to think that
q horse can haul a carriage easily on the
level. On such a road he has to be pull
ing every moment; there is no rest.
Whereas when the road now rises and
now falls the weight is taken off him at
times, and he has a chance to recover
his wind and to rest his muscles. AS
between a level road in a valley and an
up and down road over the hills, the lat
ter is by far the easier for a horse to
travel. When you come to a long level
stretch, let your horse walk bit in the
middle of it.
Almost everybody knows that for the
first few miles after coming out of the
stable a horse should be driven slowly,
and especially if he has just been fed.
On journey it is of the utmost impor-
lance to observe this rule. Be careful,
however, not to check young nag too
quickly when he comes fresh out Of the
stable. Give him his head, talk to him
soothingly, and presently he will come
down to a moderate pace. If you pull
him up at once, you vex him extremely,
so much so that he is not unlikely to
kick.-Harper's Young People.

A Smuggling Scheme.

Passing through Hudson street with
afriend, l CHANGED to pass the establish
ment of a firm of folders and repack-
ers' of dry goods. Before the door were
hundred or more little bales of goods,
bearing odd markings, but showing that
they were destined for firm in Texas,
doing business in town near the Mex
lean line.
"Do you know" asked my compan-
ion, why those goods are put up in
such small packages?"
Upon replying in the negative he con-
tinued: "They are to be struggled across
the Mexican line. The goods are pur-
chased in their original packages and
delivered here. The wooden boxes are
discarded, and the goods subjected to
hydraulic pressure and baled. Each
bale contains about 80 pieces, or half the
number of an ordinary dry goods case.
1.-THE goods are then shipped to Tex
as, and all marks removed. When all
is arranged, some night the little bales
are slung across the backs of mules,
two bales to each animal, and with an
armed escort the train proceeds over the
border to some distributing point in
Mexico, where the goods are sold to Mex
lean traders at good profit.
Smuggling in this manner is quite
extensively carried on between this
country and Mexico, the United States
getting in return for its dry goods,
which are the most easily handled, cheap

TRAINING gorH HANDS ALIKE.


No Good Reason Yet Advanced Why II
Should Not Be Done.
In one of his essays in a book en-
titled 'Brushwood, = the late James r.

just as freely as my right one, SO that
if anything happened to lame either of
them the other would be all ready to

doubtedly great many of US would
learn to use both hands alike if we had
our lives to live over again. OF all the
young women who came under my in

of Domestic Economy of the Iowa Ag-

twenty-five could sweep properly. The
ratio in this respect of those who came
under my instruction at Purdue univer-
sity was about the same. And as far
as my observation extends this ratio
will hold in regard to women generally.
AS rule, women, old and young, do
not know how to handle a broom. Their
right hands only have been trained.
Their left hands have been neglected.

1t is with the right hand near the top
of the handle and the left hand toward

illustrate my point. The same can be
said concerning the training Of the
hands in numerous other branches of
women work that it is unnecessary to
mention, and SO far as the use of the
left hand is concerned men are in no
better condition than women. Men and
women are in this respect MANNED and
handicapped alike. Why should such
a state of things exist? Why, in this
age of manual training, should we over
look and neglect the education of the
left hand and continue to train the
right hand at the expense of the leftP

this tract produces tomatoes, peas,
beans and other tender vegetables, and
here the lemon fourishes, tree that is
peculiarly susceptible to cold. Tropical
trees may be also cultivated with sue

is interesting to know that part of the
favored territory has been acquired by
Los Angeles for park purposes, and 1t
is only aquestion of time when the city
will have the unique distinction Of pos
