A national Song writssa Under t1ot Firs.

1.-THE Star-Spangled Banner was
written by Francis Scott Key at the
time of the attack on Fort McHenry,
made by Admiral Cockburn on Sep
TENDER Is, 1914. Key was hel as q
prisoner in a little boat meore to

the whole day and night, exposed to
the fire from the shore, Key watched
the flag on b fort, and, at break OF
day on the 14th, saw it was still

that they use on an average about so
cents worth of gold per cavity, as

a vial such as dentists keep their gold

If the average cavity bored out by
the industrious American dentist with
such extreme discomfort to the suffer-
ing patient contains so cents worth of
gold, how much gold do all the millions

In one way and another, il is probable

-nne-Hnnded People.

Has it ever occurred to you that
999, 500 people out of q million go
through life with the use of only one
hand? 1t is an odd thought, but there
is solid truth at the back of it. If you
are right-handed. your left hand has
no other use than as a very humble
auxiliary to your right hand; If you
are lcf banded, il is a million to one
that your right hand is but a poor
~weakling. You may live to be seventy
and-five years old and not meet a man
or woman who can use both hands
equally well. 1t is seriously proposed
by a well-known Scotch scientist that
all children should be trained from
their earliest years to use their left
as much as their right hands. They
should be taught to write and to hold
their knives with their left hands as
well as to bat and to bowl at cricket
left-handed. In every other way the
left hand should be given the same
chances as the right. Crowds of right
handed people who have been afflicted
with that distressing malady known as
writers cramp" have taught them
selves to write with their left lands.

Changing serpents Into Rods.

The Egyptian cobra is not unlike its
Asiatic cousin, except in the absence
of the curious spectacle-like mark
which distinguishes the latter. AL
though it is the most poisonous reptile
known to inhabit northern Africa it
is the favorite among the s~nake-charm-
ers. These conjurors know how to
render this serpent rigidly unconscious
by pressing the nape of its neck with
n finger. This act appears to throw
the reptile into oatalepsy, in which he
is as stiff as an iron rod. Traces of
something similar having been prac-
ticed in olden times may be found IN
the Bible-where Aaron made a serpent

One of the popular habits OF the peo-
Pile of this city is 10 c~onanlt the clock
almost on every occasion when an OPP
portunity is presented. 1t matters lit
tie whether any special need requires
that consultation or not, the clock will

the case if a particular clock has the
reputation of being "A good timekeeper.
So well is this known by many store
keepers that they will place clocks in
their stores SO situated as to be easily
seen by persons who may be passing

clock has a good reputation and the
pedestrian is fortunate enough to carry
a watch, a comparison is almost sure to
be made.
Many times a clock with a good repu-
