LEFT-HANDED HANDSHAkE.
Col. jack Chinn Tells why kentuck-
inns Prefer That style at
Present.

State Senator Frank w. Maynard, of
New Hampshire, has returned to his
home in Nashua from Louisville, KY,
where he attended the national con
yention of the Merchant Tailors' ma
tional exchange, says the Boston
Globe. He arrived in Kentucky just
after the shooting of Mr.. Goebel and
witnessed the excitement which fol-
lowed. During his stay in Louisville
he was introduced to Col. Jack Chinn,
and he tells an amusing story Of their
meeting.
1--WE were introduced" said Senator
Maynard, "by mutual friends, and |
noticed that Col. Chinn extended his
left hand to me. At the time | thought
II bit queer but after ! saw him do
the same thing with several other
men came to the conclusion that he
was lcft-handed. Perhaps my face in
dicated my surprise AT the manner OF
shaking hands, for he turned TO me
few minutes later and remarked:
You have noticed, perhaps, that
shake hands with my left hand? Well
we have grown accustomed TO that
/ during the past few days. You see
! we like 10 keep our right hands close
to our pistol pockets just now"

START OF THE FEUO.
Senator Clark Had to Pay Marcus
DAILY Eighty Thousand Dollars
for Stream.

"Gus'' Schmidt tells this story in
connection with the trouble of Senator
Clark, of Montana, who is bitterly pur-
sued by Marcus Daily, says the Indian
apolis Press:
The start of this feud dates from
their early mining days when Clark
was dependent on the water from a
small stream for the successful work
ing of his miues. DAILY bought the wa
ter right for $4,000 and compelled
Clark to pay $4,000 for its use.
"A further item which goes to show
Clark's luck, or pluck, is that a prom
inent western smelling company was
financially embarrassed, and as it was
at time of panic the company could
not obtain ready money. Clark exam
ined its books, and. finding them IN
good condition, took 100000 stock in
the company. In going over the books
he noticed carload of ore once in
awhile that was exceedingly rich, and
made inquiry of the name of the mine
from which the ore came. He was told
and went to the mine dressed as q
miner and hired himself out to the fou,
young men who owned it, and went ts
work as a miner. After seeing thu
wealth of the mine he bought it fol
$500 900, and this mine is now making
him millions"

Judge and Dancs.E Master.

An English paper tells of Greek
Judge who took 1t into his head to
learn to dance. He is an elderly man.
and i'm spite Of all his efforts he only
succeeded in getting out OF breath, sc
F.. at last the dancing master lost patience
and told his pupil that he was incapable
of learning. The Judge therefore went
to law, and got the following verdict
in his favor: Seeing that a man who
has no physical defects is not unfit to
be taught to dance, the professor Is
hereby condemned to continue his les
sons until his pupil is proficient" The
willing magistrate and the unwilling
dancing master have therefore set &c
work again,

The case of the late Charles Francois
Fleu, the armless Belgian artist, re-
Gently deceased, was no exception

arius, over three centuries ago, knew

who was forced to use her mouth and

TO PROTECT TERRAPIN.
Bill In Maryland Legislature Provid'
ing u Close season Under
Penalty.

To prevent the diamond back ter
rapin, that delight of epicures, from
becoming extinct in Maryland, which
furnishes the choicest specimen Of
this delcacy in the world, the State
Game Protective association has intro
duced a bill for its protection It pro-
vides that no person shall catch, trap
or take in any manner in this state
any diamond-back terrapin between
April and November in each year
or of any size less than five inches
long, under penalty of ten dollars
for each terrapin. The destruction of
terrapin eggs at any time is prohib-
tied under a penalty of not less than
$25 fine nor more than 500. No per-
son shall keep any diamond-back ter
rapin, alive or dead. III any pond. in
closure or tank between April l and
November I, under n penalty of ten
dollars for each tel~apin so kept. The
bill also prohibits the sale of terrapin
or fish during the close season. The
fish commissioners are exempt from
this act while pursuing their duties as
fish cultursts. Scientists may also
be exempt by permission of the state
game warden. The passage of the
bill is assured. 1t will have the effect
Of greatly reducing, if not entirely
cutting off, the supplies of Chesapeake

will close up the hundreds of ponds
in which terrapin are secretly kept to

CURIOUS WHEAT PROBLEM.
According TO This Computation Scar
city of Food Is Not by Any
Means Remote.

II Sir William Crookes is to be be-
lie we'd, scarcity of food is not by any
means remote; it may come within
sight of persons now alive. and these
not very young, says the London Spec
tator. The case may be very easily
stated. At present the deficiencies of
the wheat-eating countries are supplied
by North America. especially by the
United States. In 1878 the wheat
crop of the United States was about
$40, 100000 bushels. OF this quantity
217,000,000 bushels were exported to
Europe. where no country, excepting
Russia and Turkey, grows enough for
its own population. The states are
able to do this without trenching on
the home supply, because the total pop
ulation is not more than 75,000,0O0. In
1881, if the increase of population goes
on at the same rate as that of the last
30 years, the 100000 will have in
creased to 100000 and the surplus
for export will be d o longer available.
Whence, therefore, will the wants
of the world be supplied? Russia at
present exports largely, the total be-
ing something more than two-fifths of
that from the states. But il cannot. be
hoped that Russia will come to the res
cue of hungry world. 1t is already
hungry itself, exporting food while its
own people are starving. Any change
here must be in the way of distribu-
ton. This change will be the more
speedy because the Russian population,
in spite of its sufferings, increases. In
deed, the difficulty of the general prob
lem is aggravated by the fact that, up
to the point Of actual starvation, search
ty not only does not check, but actual
" stimulates, the rate Of increase. A
perfectly well-fed, well-educated and
generally comfortable population has
a tendency to diminish rather than to
grow,
