IS rapid. For this reason
we put up a Soc. size, which
is enough for an ordinary

In other conditions gain

For this SCOTS Emulsion

CLEvERLY AMBIDExTRoUs.
San Francisco Has a Penmau Who
Writes With Both Hands.

Gus Mooney, a copyist in the
county clerks office, is the handi-
est man with pen in the new city
hall. He performs all sorts Of
feats that to the ordinary man ap-
pear marvellous. He is ambidex-
trous and writes a most beautiful
hand, sometimes fine Spencerian
and other times a round back hand
that is like copper plate. Mooney
copies the wills filed into the record
and usually writes the page on the
left side Of the open book with his
right hand and the next page with
his left, so that he always has a
rest for his arm. When he tires to
writing a running hand he turns
the book a little and writes page
after page in his back hand style.
Mooney can take two pens, one
in each hand, and starting at q
common point, can write two sig
natures simultaneously, writing
the one with his left hand back
ward, and the signatures will be
almost exactly alike. He seems to
do his thinking with his wrist, too,
for he will write two entirely diff
ferent names at the same time, and
with dash and a flourish that is
surprising, and occasionally he
varies the monotony of his work
by copying two different wills on
opposite pages at the same time, or
by commencing at the last letter of
one will and copying it backward
with his left hand, while he copies
another from the beginning with
his right.
Mooney is Jig dancer, and takes
no little pride in his ability to in
dite copies Of the most complicated
signatures in the sand or sawdust
on a bar-room' floor, while dancing
a lively jig. A few days ago, on a
small wager, he initiated the sig
nature of Henry Schesselman on
the floor of a saloon, while dancing
a jig blindfolded, and that by COM
mencing at the very last letter and
dancing it backward.-San Fran

LILLIAN LEWIS, THE GREAT ACTRESS, WILL APPEAR AT THE OPERA
 HOUSE
In the Magnificent Production, Credit Lorraine Supper ted by a Company of
 Artists.

At the Opera-house tonight the present her famous play Credit Lorraine" This will be Miss Lewis last appearance in this city in this play. Manager Adams received a letter from Miss Lewis giving him the power to reduce the piices of ad mission from the $1.50 scale, which Miss Lewis has been playing at, to the regular dollar prices of the Opera-house Credit LOrraine,' as presented ny Miss Lewis, has been indorsed by the clergy of all dcnomi- nations, making it a grand lenten play.
 There is probably no drama be- fore the American public which has achieved greater success or popu larity, or which is better liked than Credit Lorraine" and there is certainly no character that the great artiste and famous woman, Lillian Lewis, has enacted, which is better suited to her temperament, or which she enaets with greater fidelity, or in which the public in general like her better, than as Lenora in Credit Lorraine. Hundreds of requests have been made by letter and verbally, by thea ter goers, theater managers and newspaper critics, soliciting Miss Lewis to once more play Credit Lorraine, and it is in conformation with this general desire that Miss Lewis is now making her farewell appearance as Lenora. The success and popularity Of Credit Lorraine" is chiefly due to the purity of it's atmosphere and the healthy streh- gth of it's plot. As a matter of course Miss Lewis superb acting and true character creation of Lenor;i is an important factor in the success of this drama, but there is apart from all this q truth of noble sentiment and generous sacrifice which has made Credit Lorraine dear to the hearts of theater goeTs. It is hardly possible for any one, man, woman or child to see Credit Lorraine" and apart from enjoying the acting and the play, not only feel better, but form a resolve to do better, for there is u little sermon not spoken but enacted, incorpora- ted as it were in the action of the drama, which no one can fail to comDrehend

Dixey in Little Rock.

Henry E. Dixey and his company presented "Fhe Lottery of Love, :" the same to be presented at the Pine Bluff Opera-house, Thursday March 5, to q large audience in Little Rock last night, of which today's Gazette says:
 Henry E. Dixey, in conjunction with a very competent company, presented at the Capital Theaterlast nig It .sThe Lottery of Love- and an act of "The Seven Ages before a cultured and large audience. Mir. Dixey found full favor and invested the performance with an added de- gree of interest by reason of his ire sistable magnetism. The play pro- dueed, while on the farce.comedy or der, does not depart entirly from the legitimate, henceit attracts and re- tains attention throughout, apart from the individuality displayed by the star. As d comedian MT. Dixey excels in several respects, notably in that he is inimitablc and does not have to rely upon anything ab- s0rbed from others.
 The clever supporting company comprises some people who are not strangers to Little Rocks play patrons and whose capability is sufficient to prove q strong back ground 10 the entertaining efforts of Mr. Dixey.
