Orsini at Blaydon Hall. which showed
the latter as very simple man. Orsi-
nj, at one time, complained every
morning Of his head. IT ave one bad
headache" he used to say at breakfast
to Mrs. Cowen. One night Joseph Cow
ell detected q strong smell of gas pro-
ceeding from Orsini's room. Ho went
to see what was the matter and found
tho explanation Of Orsini's bad head
aches. The room was quito dark, and
tho gas had not been turned off. what
did you do with the gasp asked Cow
en-. BLEW him out" said Orsini, who
had never seen gas burner before. The
headaches then ceased. They were eff

OUR GIRLS AND BRITONS.
Why American Mnidcns Arc Tempted to

Why American Mnidens Arc Tempted to
We'd Stolid Englishmcn.
Why does tho American girl marry
the Briton? Has she any adequate jus
LITIGATION? Do you suppose it pays her,
and can such n choice Oh her part be
defended on large grounds as promotivo
of tho greatest good of the greatest
number? Is it Il fact as has boon flip
PANTY suggested, that she moves to
England to get country life because we
have no good roads here yet, or, OH the
contrary, can it be demonstrated that
ono reason our country roads are so bad
Is that the American girl cannot abide
the country and promptly carries her
man off to town ut the earliest moment
that secs his endeavors blessed with
tho necessary income? Is it her fault
that country interests tend too much to
fall to tho care of residuum that is
too poor to get away, or has tho coun-
try lifo not much to do ono way or the
other with her British propensities?
10 BIO honest, there arc other con-
ceivablo reasons for marrying an Eng
llsh gentleman besides his country
roads. He may be q charming gentle
man-they are said to be so once in
awhile--who can win wife by plain,
personal courtship. and whom any wom-
an would be justified in marrying ON
general principles and without specific
excuses. or he may be q good ''aver-
age" sort of man whose advantage
over his American brother is matter
OF size or complexion or hale appear
ancc. have known American women
who ventured to assert that tho femi-
nine eye rejoiced moro in the type of
male human that treads the pavements
OF Piccadilly and Pail Mall than in the
contemporaneous pedestrians of Fifth
avenue and Broadway.
Or maybe it is his superior stolidity
that electrifics i'll the Briton. 1t is to
be feared that there is truth III that tale
Mr.. kipling or somebody was telling
OF how phlegmatic merchants of the
cast had discovered that the way to
beat the American was simply to put
him Off and let him fret himself reck-
less. Stolidity is not quite the same as
reposc, but to persons who are suffering
from an acute dearth of reposo it may
appeal us IL tOlerable substitute, SO that

CUNNING OF THE LEFT HAND
Some of the Advantages That Arc Pos
sessed by tho Ambidextrous,

Some of the Advantages That Arc Pos
sessed by tho Ambidextrous,
Ambldextrous men and women, OF
those who can use either right or left
hand with equal facility, arc not near
ly so frequently met with rs might at
first be supposed-in fact, they are quite
rare. This double faculty is, however,
much moro frequently met with among
butchers and sailors than i'll any other
walks of life. Left handed butchers are
numerous, as 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 Oh the block or
changing his own position.
In view of the many advantages de-
rived from the ability to use both hands
equally well many people have often
expressed surprise ut the action Of edu-
cational authorities in insisting on the
use of only tho right hand instead Of
trying to develop all equal skill in the
other. They all stick to the right hand
ed idea, however, and an old resident
OF Frankford. noted for his ambidex-
trousnoss, is still mourning the loss Of
prize mt school through the uso of his
left hand in writing, although he was
equally skilEful rs penman with his
right
The benefits derived from the use of
both hands were eXcellently illustrated
III 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 i'll buildings.
They could take jobs of this charao-
ter cheaper than any other, because
they could work from either end toward
each other SO handily. Cross would
square Il floor board at one end and
Walton would scribe and cut it off
to fit at the other end and then nail
down, working together from opposite
ends.
Left handed machinists are always
ut IL disadvantage, rs machinery is in
variably adapted to people who work
right handed, but the ambidextrous
man or woman is always ut home in
whatever work is undertaken. -Phila-

MY MOTHERS VOICE.

OFT in my happy dreams Of infancy
A voice was heard in that blcst "long ago"
Now rising sweet and clear, then soft and
low,
In ripping tones of wondrous melody.
All through my childhood rang That happy
voice,
Which fainter grew, youth came OH npnce
Yet echoed on, when, weary OF lifc's race
heard its tones, which badc my heart rejoice.
Far from that happy home, yet not alone,
wander, bearing in my heart that song,
Which fingers. guarding INC from every
wrong.
/ ever hear it's old, familiar tone.

Diamonds In an Extinct Volcano.

An interesting discovery from a geo.
logical point of view was recently mado
by an explorer in tho mountains of Wit
zies Hook, Natal. On the summit of an
extinct volcano, on the edge Of q lake
that occupies the crater. soundings re-
venled layer of sand inclosing small
diamonds. 1t would be interesting to
know whether these diamonds were
there accidentally-that is, as the re-
suit Of washing operations carried OH
by tho natives-or whether this discov-
cry corresponds to an actual mino of
diamonds, for the hills of Whites Hook
are not situated i'll regions known to
bo diamond bearing On the last hypoth-
esis the presence Of precious stones in
the"crnter of u volcano would doubtless
throw some light Oh tho formation Of
the gems i'll nature.-Genio Civil.
