WHITES WITH BOTH HANDS.
Wonderful Feat of PeHmanship fer'
formed by an Australian.


Wrapper writing is, it would seem,
popular way of earning a livelihood
with the inmates of Rowton house, a
6-penny hotel. Here is an amusing
story of the perfection to which 1t may
be brought by practice and a strong
will.
There is a tradition lingering among
the elder brethren of the wrapper WIFI
ing profession to the effect that once
upon time, when the work was bet
ter paid than now, a young man from
Australia turned up and yentured as
last resource into their sphere OF labor.
He spent his all and found himself
stranded until funds should arrive from
the antipodes. So, on the suggestion
of an acquaintance, he applied for
Job at the world-famed firm Of Schmidt
& Co. On being duly installed and sup
piled with 500 envelopes and some
pages from a directory he looked
around and asked for pen.
but you have one already SAID
the young man in authority.
81 want two" said the Australian,
and an interested and obliging fellow
scribe supplied his need. The scene
which thereupon ensued battles descrip-
ton, for the colonial, separating the
pile of envelopes into two equal lots,
began copying the addresses by writing
simultaneously with both hands. SO
runs the legend, at least, and, further
more, it is ayerred that his rapidity
was such as to put the sloggers' to
shame. Fifty pens dropped from the
neryeless grasp Of those who but
minute before had been writing against
time and as If for dear life. A hum
dred eyes were fixed In establishment
on the unknown one. Presently the
young overseer who superintendent the
labors of many old enough to be his
grandfather rose and timidly said he
would consult the governor The lat
ter arrived, and, the situation being ex-
planned, the Australian was turned into
a loose box all by himself and fed with
another thousand or so of envelopes.
At this rate he earned enough In two
or three weeks to enable him to last out
comfortably till his remittances ar
rived: then he went home and Schmidts
knew him no more. We asked the. old
gentleman who told us this yarn to
fill his pipe and have another cup OF
tea, for we thought he deserved BOTH"

constant use, like the red on Gladys
Gwendolen's waxen cheek. In constant
repetition there's certain wear and tear
Heaven knows il the Scotch had any
thing to do with hop-scotch or not
There's nothing in name, anyway. To
play the game n complicated scheme Is
cholked on the concrete walk. The
squares are quite large and numbered
and the hopping begins. 1t Is certainly
good exercise. A little chip or stone
must be kicked from square l to square
2 and so on. 1t must always be done
with one foot and the other foot must
never touch the ground. Neither must
the chip stop on one of the numerous
chalked lines, and the hopper must never
twinkle toe on one of these lines, either.
It's all very complicated and Earring.
Almost everything is prohibited in hop
scotch.
Jumping rope is left to girls, too. Doc
tors have inveighed against it, but all in
vain. The girls are still jumping. When
ever you see boys spinning tops you will
find girls jumping rope, and probably the
benefit so far as exercise goes, Is on the
side of the girls.
1t Is a matter of pride to be able 10
jump to twenty or forty or sixty, accord
ing to age and strength. How the braids
bob and the curls fly! They hold their
hats on by main force, while the rope
whips the ground beneath the flying feet.
There is double rope called the Spanish
rope, which calls for great swiftness Of
eye and lightness of foot. There is a
slow motion of the rope from side to
side, called making the cradle. Anybody
can jump that.
Whether you are a girl admitted to the
blessed privilege of overalls, or whether
you are q girl obliged to look after the
unbroken continuity of skirts and stock
ings, the pleasant spring days are the
time for fun. The days are so short and
the plays are so many that the little folk
stuff themselves at night, after all the
vigorous exercise, and go to sleep with
skins tight as any drum.

1t Is not only the knickerbockered small
boy who has games of his own. Girls,
too, have fads and occupations, though
all of them are not monopolized by doll
babies. In fact, their historic devotion
to these painted beauties seems to be
lessening. Dolls Of sawdust and paper
are good for rainy days and for the twi-
light hours before or after dinner, when
one Is not allowed to go out. But the
doll day is decidedly on the decline. 1t
Is better for girls, as for boys, to be in
the open, to chase butterflies with nets,
to climb trees even at the expense OF
clothing, and to jump and frolic with all
their might.
There is more to be discovered with
the ants the bees, the birds, the flowers,
or in the companionship of a wise dog,
than In all the sawdust and china-eyed
babies In the world.
However, there are certain games sa-
cred to our grandmothers and still kept
up In measure by little girls, being re-
vived from year to year. Some of them
are silly. Most of them date from the
time when boys and girls did not study
from the same books, and when it was
reasoned out that even games must be
feminine. Now we know better. The
same sports that develop the little male
animal are good for little girls, too. Girls
now play baseball and even football
First and dearest of all the girls games

row and somebody counts.

The last mo" is 1T" and the game
begins with nimble scattering and a
shrill squeak. The lines are silly and
ungrammatical, and the Undergraduates
do not approve of them because they
are such meaningless jabber, but the old
doggerel has been used for so many years
that very likely Its meaning, IL 1t ever
had any, has all been rubbed off from

And all the others came to me,

With honor, riches, glory, gold,
The poorest soul on earth I'd be,
II that one ship came not TO me.

To never more come sailing back,

But send my love ship home to me.

MONEY WITH A HOLE IN 1T.

Uncle Sam to Coin a 3-Cent Piece Like
Don hnut.
Uncle Sam, 1t Is said, Is to coin new
Scent piece. The new coin Is to be of
nickel, and it's radical difference from
all other coins with Uncle Sans mint
mark on them lies in the fact that it
will have hole in the center. 1t is
the superstition that this hole in the
middle will enable the hurried handler
Of the coin to detect its value by the
sense Of feeling. Some such safeguard
Is considered necessary, for the reason
that 1t Is to be about the size and
weight of the present nickel 5-cent
piece. The size of the center hole in
the proposed coin will be large enough
to make 1t merely ring of metal, this
hole being about one-half of the diam
eter of the coin. 1t will prevent one
of the difficulties which handlers of
small silver coins were troubled with
when the metal money began to circil-
late after the era Of paper money. The
small coins, which got into the hands
OF children, and some classes in the re-
mote districts, were treated as curiosi-
ties and great prizes. To secure their
safe keeping favorite method was to
punch hole In them and tie them on
string. This destroyed the circua-
ton value of the coins and dealers who
subsequently took them in had to stand
the loss, fixed scale being finally ar
ranged for deduction for punched
dimes, nickels, or other pieces. The
new piece can be strung without injur-
ing it.
1t Is the general opinion of Govern
ment officials that there is no crying
need for an additional subsidiary coin
of small value and large bulk and
weight, the 5-cent nickel piece and the
copper 1-cent piece being considered
ample to meet the wants of the people
of the West. Bank people and treas
ury officials have very lively concep-
ton of the bother there is in handling
the present 1-cent pieces, the larger in
situations getting hundreds of pounds
of them sometimes on hand The
weight as well as bulk cuts quite a
figure in these cases, and the addition
of another intermediate between the
5-cent piece and the cent piece would.
1t Is believed. but add to this trouble.
Vault room for storage purposes and
draying facilities would have to be pro-
vided in proportion.
The old Scent silver piece which was
coined several years ago did not meet
with popular favor, and it was found
impossible to keep 1t in circulation.
The sub-treasury people fear that the
attempt to put out new one will be
but repetition of this experience
In the West and Southwest the 1-cent
piece was slower in coming into favor
than In the East, and the coinage of the
new piece is supposed to be to meet
demand which. the 5-cent piece Is too
large for and the 1-cent too small.
This would indicate If 1t is correct that
the Western people are relinquishing
their old idea that nothing less than :
cents was worth counting In business
transaction.
