Tho Reason For It.

Men g garments button toward the
right side and women's garments
usually button toward the left side.
This custom dates back to the time
when citizens were compelled to go
about armed. When a lady took q
gentleman's arm, she usually walk
ed on his left side, thus leaving his
right arm free to use his sword to
defend her. Her left arm was thus
at liberty and her garments but
toned from the side opposite from
that of the gentleman's in order to
suit it.4People's Friend.

Trinldad's Pitch Lake.

A remarkable phenomena In the
island of Trinadad is the ''Pitch lake"
situated at La Brea, the capital OF the
island. 1t is about one and half
miles In circumference and elevated
about eighty feet above the level Of the
sea. The water is covered almost en-
tirely with stratum of asphaltum,tra-
versed by assures and crevices filled
with water. The pitch at the sides
is perfectly hard and cold, but as one
walks toward the middle the heat grad
ually increases and the pitch becomes
softer and softer. At last 1t is seen
boiling up in liquid state md the air
is strongly impregnated with bitumen
and sulphur. During the rainy, sea-
son 1t is possible to walk over nearly
the whole lake, but in the hot weather
great part can not be approached.
This pitch is much used on the island
for roads, pavements and roofs. and Is
exported to the United States and Cam
ada.-Exchange.

Struck Down and His Throat Cut While

SOmersworth, n. f.. April lG.-While
resisting the entry of two desperate
and determined robbers. and during Il
heroic struggle to protect $4,000 OF
more in money and securities in the
compartments of the open vault Of the
Great Falls National Bank OF Somers-
worth, this afternoon. Cashier Joseph
a. Stickney was struck down and bru-
tally murdered near the desk which he
had occupied for years. After killing
Stickney. the murderers ransacked the
vault and fed with the cash. with
the exception OF "A few gold pieces. AS
nenr AS can be estimated. $1,000 was
taken. but it Is possible that the loss
Will considerably exceed this sum, as
none but the dead cashier knew the ex-
act amount that was in the institu-
tiOn at the time
The robbers. after knocking Stickney
down with Il black Jack, cut his throat.
The most remarkable feature of the
robbery is that 100000 in bonds of
the United States, which were kept In
one OF the drawers Of the big vault and
which the robbers examined hastily,
were not taken. Neither was any OF
the negotiable paper and securities of
the bank-in fact. nothing Is missing
except the cash.
No one was aware that there was
anything wrong at the bank until
nenrly O'Clock. or an hour after the
murderous work was done. TIE perpe-
traitors had ample time to escape, and
this evening scores of shcrifYs, mar

to the bank Mt the busiest time Of the
day in the locality where the bank is
situated. aud so completely and thor
oughly did they accomplish their rob
berry that only nh uncertain clue and n
very meager description OF the terrible
deed can be obtained. Stickney had
died fighting desperately.
The first clue that the officers found
was from persons who reported seeing
q man hurrying up the hill, carrying a

: finally got into the buggy driven by an
other man. Other persons reported see

Not long ago wanted to define
"sybarite" for the information of my
young people and could not think OF
an apt illustration; but last week l went
late in the evening to call on Lady

her maid had placed all her bracelets
and her necklace to warm before the
fire upon a small cushion. 1t was, she
said, her invariable habit in winter tc
have her ornaments thus heated. In
