CUNNING OF THE LEFT HAM
Some of the Advantages That Are Pos
sessed by the Ambidextrous.

Some of the Advantages That Are Pos
sessed by the Ambidextrous.
Ambidextrous men and women, or
those who can use either right or left
hand with equal facility, are not near
ly so frequently met with as might at
first be supposed-in fact, they are quite
rare. This double faculty is, however,
much more frequently met with among
butchers and sailors than in any other
walks of life. Left handed butchers are
numerous, as a walk through any Of
our large market houses will quickly
demonstrate, but it is very interest
ing study to watch one of them who
will cut, chop, saw and handle his
meat without once changing it from
one side to the other on the block or
changing his own position.
In view of the many advantages de-
rived from the ability to use both hands
equally we'll many people have often
expressed surprise at the action OF edu-
cational authorities in insisting ON the
use of only the right hand instead OF
trying to develop an equal skill i'll the
other. They all stick to the right hand
ed idea, however, and an old resident
of Frankfort, noted for his ambidex-
trousness, is still mourning the loss of
q prize at school through the use of his
left hand in writing, although he was
equally skillful as penman with his
right.
The benefits derived from the use of
both hands were excellently illustrated
in the experience of two carpenters who
lived in Frankfort some years ago.
Their names were Cross and Walton,
and the former was right handed, the
latter left handed. AS one was also
very tall and the other very short, they
made curious couple, but they always
worked together laying floors and put
ting up joiners' work in buildings.
They could take jobs Of this charac-
ter cheaper than any other, because
they could work from either end toward
each other so handily. Cross would
square a floor board at one end and
| Walton would "scribe" and cut it of
to fit at the other end and then nail
down, working together from opposite
ends.
Left handed machinists are always
| at q disadvantage, as machinery is III
variably adapted to people who WORK
right handed but the ambidextrous
man or woman is always at home IL
whatever work is undertaken. -Phila'

diamonds In an Extinct Volcano.

An interesting discovery from geo.
logical point of view was recently made
by an explorer in the mountains OF Wit
zies Hook, Natal. On the summit of an
extinct volcano, on the edge of lake
that occupies the crater, soundings re-
vealed a layer of sand inclosing small
diamonds. 1t would be interesting to
know whether these diamonds were
there ccidentally-that is, as the re-
suit of washing operations carried on
by the natives-or whether this discov-
cry corresponds to an actual mine OF
diamonds, for the hills of Whites Hook
are not situated in regions known to
be diamond bearing. On the last hypoth-
esis the presence of precious stones in
the crater of volcano would doubtless
throw some light on the formation of
the gems in nature. Genie Civil.

COUNTING APPLE SEEDS.

Beside the hearth one winter night,
Made rosy by the great logs light,
Ihat, naming up the chimney dark,
hit every Granny, every nook,
Upon the rug u little maid
Sat curled in pose demure and staid
In pensive mood, with dreamy eyes,
She sits, while up the chimney flies
A thought with every fiery spark,
Ghnting and flashing through the dark,
Till with sigh profound and deep
She moves as one moves in her sleep.
A rosy apple in her hand
A weight Of thought seems to demand.
She taps it with finger light,
Then carefully she takes bite,
Another bite, now one, now two.
The core is thus exposed to view.
Another sighl What can IL be,
My little maid, that aileth thee?
ALL What is thisY Some incarnation,
Muttered with such reiteration?
Harkl As each seed her bright eyes see,
These are the words that come to me:
lone / love, two love,
Three love, sayi
-FOUR L love with all my heart,
Five cast away"
Here tear rolls brightly down.
What the secret she has won?
Who can sayP But just behind
Sounds voice so soft and kind:
Look againl Thou must indeed
Find for me another seedp'
Roster her bright cheeks grow
In the firelights ruddy glow.
Sure enough, a culprit seed
Finds she in the core indeed.
"From thy lips fain would hear
What the sixth one means, my dear"
'Six he loves" she murmured low.
And the firelight's Pickering glow
Two happy faces now disclose,
With cheeks a-glowing like the rose.
But here we'll let the curtain fall,
For the end is best of all.

WHO v p.v. 70 Detect Smuggling.

The French government recently
adopted the X rays as means Of check
ing the prevailing practice of SNUG
cling. Director Pallain of the French
customs service has ordered that
Crookes tubes be kept at all the larger
customs offices, and all of the customs
inspectors in Paris have been summoned
TO the chief office to have the method OF
their use explained to them.
Hitherto vast quantities OF watches,
iewelry and other dutiable articles OF
b;ob valuation have been concealed by
slowing them in the legs of deal tables
and ink receptacles, and have thus es'
oaped the notice of the customs officers:

Electric Protection of Safes.

The latest idea for the protection OF
money and valuables is to have the
safe which contains them secured in
side a cabinet. Where the safe is kept
in a vault the vault serves the purposes
of cabinet. In either case an electric
lining is used, consisting of strips Of
metal mounted in connection with thin
metal sheets so arranged that even a
pin thrust through the cabinet and pen
etrating the lining will sound the alarm.
The door of the vault cannot be opened,
nor can the curtain of the cabinet be
raised, until time lock has disconnect-
ed it from the alarm system. In order
that the alarm box may be proof against
molestation it is made of steel and
placed within hood lined in the same
way as the cabinet. Any attempt at
tampering will cause an alarm to be
sounded, as in the case of the cabinet.
The door is held closed by heavy lag
bolts, the partial removal of any OF
which will give warning signal.
There are several of these lag bolts, and
before the door can be opened they have
all to be removed, which requires con
siderable length of time.

The Gold Cure For an Indian.

All Lab Nee, young and bright look
ing Cherokee Indian, is being treated
for the liquor habit at the White Plains.
IN. " institute He is the first Indian
who has ever taken the gold cure, and
the physicians say they will do some
thing that has never been done before
that is, take away from a red man the
love of liquor.
The young fellow was one of the stu
dents at the Indian school In South
Carolina, and friends, sorry to see him
wasting his life, induced him to go to
White Plains.
The treatment has already had very
good results, and the young Indian Will
be discharged as cured very shortly. and
then will return to South Carolina &c
astonish the members of his ipe.-Ex'

FEET AND CHARACTER.
what the Pedal Extremities Reveal to
One Who Knows

what the Pedal Extremities Reveal to
One Who Knows
Tbs person who had his character
read by the palmist must now go to the
first cousin of the chiropodist in order
TO learn whether the markings ON the
foot agree with the prognostioations of
the hand.
According to the adopts, small in
step denotes religious temperament,
while if it is high it suggests self con-
seriousness. If arched, it indicates love
of luxury, while if it is thin in addi-
tion it not only demonstrates the desire
for apprC baton and applause, but the
possession of honor and lofty ideals. A
thick, heavy instep, which the boot
maker would describe as rather high, is
the mark of the individual who is ca
pable of great exertion continued over a
long time, the instep, in fact, of the
worker.
The heel is another Of the great dag
nostic points. If it is smooth and round
and without any prominent outlines, it
declares the individual to belong to that
commonplace order which never achieves
distinction and who, though pleasant
enough in his or her way to live with,
is yet devoid of any special talent. If it
is small, it shows that the owner is ca
pable of going heart and soul into any
work that he undertakes.
Long toes suggest artistic capacity,
| just as do long fingers of q certain
| shape, while short toes indicate selfish
ness. If they are crooked as well as
long, they demonstrate the possession of
good common sense and no little bust
ness capacity, while toes separated by a
distinct interval, i'll spite of the COM
preston in which fashionable boots COM
pei them, are indicative of emotion. II
they curve downward, they indicate an
amiable turn of mind, and different por-
tions of them denote different character
istics as do the so called mountains
and valleys" on the palm.
In addition to all these characteristics
the markings on the sole must be care
fully considered, for they may modify
certain other peculiarities. 1t is impos
sible, however, to lay down any laws o.
self guidance in these minuti9, but the
broad facts will no doubt furnish suf
ficient stimulus for further investiga
tion at the hands of the wise women o.
the world, for they must be indeed wis'
who can read, as in an open book, char
acter which may be formed by the con
strictions of fashionable boot.
Whatever else may be done, howev
er, it is safe to say that great toe
whioh are pressed out of the straight
line, and which are therefore i'll hide
Gus contrast with the beautiful feet O
Trilby, bespeak an egregious vanity IL
their possessor and proclaim belief IL
the proverb which states that ito b'
beautiful one must suffer. This, how
ever, was the old fashioned idea, which
it is hoped the vogue of Mr.. du Mau
rier's heroine will have done grea
deal to counterfeit. - Philadelphia
