Or How the Afflicted Patient Scored Ono on
the "Fly- Doctor.
Not long ago a resident of one of the
small towns near New York came to
the city to consult an eminent oculist,
whose fee for a consultation is never
less than ten dollars He was rather
green in appearance. so the doctor. who
is something of wag, and who was in
particularly fine spirits that morning,
thought he saw an opportunity to have
a little fun at the expense OF his rural
visitor.
In the course of the examination a
prism was placed before the eye of the
patient in order to test the muscles
'sWhy. Doctor" he exclaimed, Il see

Indeed" replied the doctor. You
are very fortunate"
''How SOP
s'Why, just think what an advantage
you have over the rest of us! You see
everything double, and beautiful pic
lures. charming landscapes and lovely
faces are all repeated to you. and you
must get just so much more pleasure
out of them"
When the examination was conclud-
ed. and the prescription for the proper

HANDWRITING AND CHARACTER
individual PecuIiarities Produced by the

Individual Reculiarities fEouuCtu Df thc
Brain.
It is curious fact that when per-
son compares the writing done by his
hand with the writing done by his feet,
as by holding chalk between the toes
or writing with the toes themselves on
the sand. he will find that the two re-
suits are alike in their individual char
aeteristics. have performed the ex-
pertinent. and, though l am not pro-
fcient in the art of foot writing, can
see that the style and shape of the let
tiers made by my toes resemble the
characters formed by my hand
The same is true of mouth writing.
| am no adept in this department. but
I saw Russian who had neither hands
nor feet paint and write with his
mouth. This aroused my emulation
and l tried myself to trace my name by
holding in my mouth pencil The re-
suit at the very start was astonishingly
like nv handwriting. though of course
it was much more hesitating and un-
connected. | have also written with
other parts of my body, as for instance
with a pencil held tightly in the closed
elbow or the knee joint. or between

writing which has the characteristics
/ of nv handwriting. So it seems to me
| evident beyond doubt that the char
acteristics of handwriting do not arise

/ and arm. and as further proof of this
conclusion l will adduce the expert
/ ence of those who. having lost their
right hands. and are Obliged to make
use of their left. Such persons show
very soon a remarkable deXterity in
writing, going from right to left, while
with the right hand they had always
proceeded from left to right.
From all these observations and
facts was led to the conclusion al
ready expressed. individual peculiari-
ties of handwriting do not depend on
the hand but on the brain, which die

TARIEE OMISSION.
Brandy Peaches and Kindred Preserved
Fruits Sighted by the New Tariff Bill

Brandy Peaches and Kindred Preserved
Fruits Sighted by the New Tariff BIZ.
WASHINGTON, Sept. DETERMINATION
of the tariff law at the treasury depart
ment discloses the fact that it contains
no provisions whatever for duty upon
imported fruits. preserved in brandy or
other spirits. The omission was not
discovered until an application was re-
ceived from large importer of sucn
goods for information as to their CLASH
fication under the present tariff law.
Under the Mckinley law fruits
preserved in spirits were sub
ject to a duty of 35 per cent
ad valorem- The question as to
the classification of these goods
under present conditions has not yet
been determined. 1t is probable. how
ever. that the department will decide
the best way out of the dilemma is to
assess duty on the spirits. and the
fruits subsequently according to the
rate provided for each tariff in the act.
The preservation of fruit in this man.
ner is an extensive industry, and the
importations of such fruits. especially
branded peaches, is very heavy. In
case the department decides to assess
duty on the spirits as well as on the
fruits. the duty will be higher than it
was under the old law

The ROYAL Baking Powder has the en-

the exhibitions of former years, at the
Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the

it has been exhibited, judges have in
variably awarded the Royal Baking
Powder the highest honors-
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex-
aminatious for the baking powder
awards were made by the experts OF
the chemical division of the Agricul-
tural Department of Washington. The
official report of the tests of the baking
powders which were made by this de
partment for the specific purpose of as
certaining which was the best, and
which has been made public, shows the
leavening strength of the Royal to be 16C

of powder. OF the cream of tartar
baking powders exhibited at tbs Fair
the next highest in strength thus tested
contained but 1873 cubic inches of leaven

average of Ill. The Royal, therefore
was found of copper cent. greater leaven

The Treasury Department VIII Not Dis

WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.--It is said at
the treasury department that Secretary
Carlisle has no intention of discrimi-
mating against women clerks in reduc-
ing the treasury force toits legal limits
under the operations of the Dockery
law cutting down the force over $50
persons. and that the recent re-
moval of the two women of the
81. 500 class does not indicate a policy
hostile to the sex. 1t is said that the
female clerks who render unsatisfac-
tory service will be treated the same as
inefficient clerks of the other sex and
as a general proposition. the question
of sex does not enter into the matter
at all. except in cases where the nature
of the service required calls for it 1t
Is said also the removals already made
have been equally divided between
male and female clerks. although that
question was not considered at the
time
