rh. Use of the Right Foot.

That the right foot Is, like the right
hand, ordinarily more mobile and at
the same time stronger than the left
might be attributed to the more fire.
uuent exertion of this side were 1t not
that the popularity is said to extend
itself even to the constitution, and the
left extremities are asserted to be more
liable to disease than the right. The
more difficult movements In stage dane
ing are usually executed upon the right
foot, and it is generally considered
that unless double practice be accord
ed to the left leg an ungraceful prefer
ence for the right will be shown by
the dancers In their public perform
ances.
Most people tread more firmly with
the right than with the left foot. There
seems to be a greater capacity for pro-
polling the body with the right foot.
From this the horseman springs, with
his left In the stirrup, and unless left
handed no boy in his play hops natu-
rally upon the left football Mall Ga

The Union Jack.

British newspapers complain that
Bnglishmen often hang the union jack
upside down.
&c Ascertain which is the top" and
which the bottom" of a union jack
look at the diagonal red cross the
cross Of st. Patrick, and you will note
that the white lodgings" to it, which
are really the diagonal white cross Of
st. Andrew, upon which it is placed,
are much broader on one side than on
the other.
The flag is right side up when both
these broad white lodgings" are above
the red diagonals on the side next to
the pole, whereas If you get the two
marrow lodgings" Of white on the top,
on the side next the pole, your flag is
upside down.

A Typical South African Store

0. r. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays
River, Cape Colony, conducts store
typical of South Africa, at which can be
purchased anything from the proverbial
''needle to an anchor" This store is
situated in valley nine miles from the
nearest railway station and about twenty
five miles from the nearest town. Mr..
Larson says: 81 am favored with the
custom of farmers within a radius OF
thirty miles, to many of whom have
supplied Chamberlain remedies. All
testify to their value in household
where doctors advice is almost out OF
the question. Within one mile Of my
store the population is perhaps sixty.
OF these, within the past twelve months,
no less than fourteen have been abso-
lutely cured by Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. This must surely be a re-
cord" For sale by Richard Gibson
Druggist.

The Domestic Novel.

The domestic novel may be said to
have begun when the worthy printer
of Derby published his History OF
Pamela" The way that the Idea OF
writing such a book occurred to him
is significare He had been asked by
a bookseller to compile complete let
ter writer that might serve the ladies
of the middle classes, who were not
yersed in polite literature, as a model
for correspondence. Richardson took
a servant girl as the imaginary CORE
spondent, and then, introducing a mar
ratiye to enhance the interest Of the
letters, he produced his Pamela, With
the intention of both instructing and
interesting his readers, so that they
might learn simultaneously the art Of
letter writing and the art of virtue
The novel began, therefore, in a series
of letters, ''the most natural as well
as the most improbable way OF re-
counting narrative" according to one
of its earliest critics. Richardson
avows his object-he writes for the
women, and, be 1t noted, for the WON
en- of the bourgeoisie. Westminster

one Misery of AngIo-rndian Life.


Every night at dinner the Anglo-ln-
dian holds a kind Of levee. The in
sects which attend dance gayly round
the lamp. and one has to watch ones
plate and glass carefully lest some Of
the insects should dance into them.
There Is one insect-a little, fiat,
brown, shining creature-which emits
the worst odor in the world. If one Of
these touches your food, the whole Is
tainted and rendered inedible. You
dare not kill these pests, for if one be
squashed the whole room becomes
filled with its disgusting smell and is
uninhabitable for the next half hour.
So these abominable insects fly about
with impunity while the poor Anglo
Indian must perforce look helplessly
on and inwardly sigh "Spero meliora."
