LIFE OF THE SPECIAL"

The special" of a great journal has
thu world as his field of operations.
One month he is witnessing the
triumph of modern artillery in battle
between a Chinese and Japanese
feet; the next. he is tracing the ways
of Russian diplomacy in Picking.
Soon afterward he may be hurrying off
to a minor rebellion in South America,
or picturing a phase Of the struggle
between east and west in the Balkans.
He wakes up each morning CONSCIOUS
that before night he may be off on a
journey of 10000 miles. His prep
arations for long travel are always
made. One special artist, Melton
Prior, has two outfits ready at home,
which he calls his 'hot" and his cold"
outfits. If his editor asks him to take
tho afternoon boat express to st.
Petersburg, and go from there to Nova
Zembia, he has only to send a brief
wire home, please bring cold bag
Charing Cross, u midday" and he is
ready. If Timbuctoo is his destina-
ton he needs only substitute hot"
for cold" In the Office Of one London
daily paper a bag is kept always ready
for any man who has instantly to go
off to the end of the earth. Such prep
arations are necessary. Take one
instance alone. Last autumn II. S.
Pearse, the well-known correspondent
of the London Daily News, strolled
late one evening into his office.
Things are looking more serious in
South Africa. You had better get ont
as soon as possible" I'm just have
time to catch the train for the South
African mail" he replied. He caught
his train, and within three weeks was

RIGHT AND LEFT.

over which shoulder do you look the
easier when it is necessary to tfun
your head. the right or left? A popu-
lar theaterical manager who had been
an exceptionally close observer says
the left but has no explanation OF the
phenomenon Let ten friends be walk
ing ahead of you, suddenly hail them
and see how many look back over the
left shoulder. He says the proportion
is about nine to one. He who looks
the right shoulder is usually left
handed. Says this expert For the
last IS years / have noticed that the
proscenium box on the left of the audi
forum is usually selected when there
is a choice between 1t and the one on
the right; people always tell me that
they like 1t because they can see better
that Is, by looking at the stage with
the head turned toward the left"
This is an interesting observation,
and there is ample reason for the
popularity, but have not noticed that
the boxes on the south side OF the
Metropolitan Opera House command
larger prices than those on the north.
Perhaps this may be accounted for by
the assumption that the stage OF the
Metropolitan is not 50 much looked at
as the folk and dolngs in the audi
torium. Those who look to the right
to see the performance look to the LEFT
to see the people OF fine raiment and
beautiful flesh. Some persons find II
impossible to wink with both eyes, and
the one they do wink with usually is
the weaker of the two. The left
handed man will look through a tele-
scope with the right eye, while the
rlght-handed one will use the left in
reading the stars through that in
strument. Some runners lead off on
the right foot, others on the left
