This Gouble faculty is, however, pnueh more frequently met with among butchers and sailors than in any other &alks Of life.

 lii view cf the many advantages de- lived from the ability to use beth hands equally we'll many people have often expressed surprise at the action of edu- oational authorities in insisting on the use of only the right hand instead of trying to develop aH equal skill in the other They all stick to the right hand cd idea, however. and an old resident ef Frankford. noted for his ambidex- tkoHsness, is still mourning the loss of 2 prize at school through the use of his left hand ill writing, although he was equally skillfui as a penman with his right.
 The benefits derived 5,3 iia use of both hands were excelIentiy illustrated sn tile experience of two carpenters who lived ill Frankford some years ago. Their names were Cross and Walton, and tine former was right handed. the latter left handed.

 But when the day came for driving her to the grounds the COW showed that shG had mind of her own and would not budge step kayond the farmyard gate Ill vain the old captain rugged at tue rope, pummeied her sides and push- ed her Hanks The COW wanted to go to pasture and was bound she wouldn't go to the fair
 Captain Patterson's patience was very nearly gone, when suddenly an idea occurred to him. Though he was pot strong enough himself to force the COW to sc to The fair his training sug- gested something that was Tying the COW to the gatopost. he went up into the loft of his barn and threw down an old sail steppgd to dory mast Then he put a horses blanket belt through au iron ring strapped the belt around the COW, lnstlted the end of the mast in ths FinU aY9 I}ousId fba ,,,ns+ 3o &l,o .:a. = the COW with some 90 feet of rope.

 Amasa is Yankee and be is so hon, est that his neigbhors say he wouldn't take advantage Of q man in horse tlade Bnt he is also full of Yankee ia- genuity, and after deep eogitation hs built long, slim henooop, one-half of it III Arizona and the other in Mexico. On the line there is gate. Over the line there are barns containing feed. At feeding time the gate is opened, anu the chicken fancier shoos his flock into Mexico, where they eat their meal, Then he shoos them back to the protec. ion of the American flag, where they digest this Mexican grain, lay their eggs and carry on their family affairs. air, Barrow saves about 50 per cent on his grain and makes about that much on his chickens, and if there Is any smuggling done it is done by the inno- cent and irresponsible biddies.
