SENATOR TILLMAN's maiden snoec,

SENATOR TILLMAN's maiden speech
in the United States senate should
be his last. His attack upon the
president was the most unwarranted
and disgraceful ever given express

be demagogue Of the hoodlum

for having clothed one of such dis

A DIFFERENCE.
In Your Two Hands, Your Two Feet, and
Even Your Two Ears.

In Your Two Hands. Your Two Feet, and
Evon Your Two Ears.
OF all the twin organs of the body,
the ears are probably more alike than
any other. Still, there is difference.
And so it is with other parts of the
BODY, says the Cincinnati Examiner.
One eye, for example, is generally
more open than the other, and often
there is q shade of difference in color
between them. Oculists say, too, that
It is rare-almost unique-to find two
eyes in the same head that have exact
~ the same powers of vision. This
arises from using one more than the
other; and, like the hand, it is generally
the right eye that is most frequently
called into use. and Is the stronger.
Few people not tailors have ever mo-
ticed that the right shoulder is general
" lower than the left. They say that
this arises from the almost universal
habit men have of resting the left elbow
on the desk while writing, and also
to tho equally prevalent custom of
those who carry heavy burdens resting
them on the right shoulder.
In arms and legs there is generally
but slight difference as regards
| length; but in size and strength the
| right arm and the left leg, being often
est used, are the more fully developed
muscularly. 1t Is the right hand and
the left foot also which exceed their
cop,noniops IN size

the blue veined hollows of the temples;
the orbits of those clear eyes, beneath
their delicately arched brows, were
ringed with days Of suffering; only the
clear cut profile, even to the delicate
imperiousness of lips and nostril, was
still there in all its beauty. The COW
erlct had slipped from the shoulder;
its familiar marble contour startled
him. He remembered how in their
early married days he had felt the sane
tity of that Diana-like revelation, and
the still nymph-like austerity which

He even fancied that he breathed again
the subtle characteristic perfume of
the lace embroideries, the delicate en-
wrappings in her chamber at Robes.
Perhaps it was the intensity Of his gaze
perhaps it was the magnetism of his
presence-but her lips parted with a
half sigh, half moan. Her head, al
though the eyes were still closed,
turned on the pillow instinctively
towards him. He rose from his knees.
Her eyes opened slowly. AS the first
glare of wonderment cleared from
them, they met HMM the old untag-

with sarcastic smile, ''that you are

The contemptuous significance of her

based only upon a knowledge of the

orders TO fall back and report at once.

suddenly in awe. The room seemed no
