but prefer investment in real estate.
"Stock speculation really distracts a
waiter" continued the Philippe, ac-
cording to the New York Times, ''and
he cannot properly attend to business,
AS soon as we find waiter getting too
engrossed in speculation we discharge
him, as he cannot keep away from the
ticker, and confuses his orders. One
poor fellow nearly went crazy here last
winter in consequence of his stock spec
ulations. He would forget his orders
and call for 'one Western Union,' when
he should have said 'one steak under

charge him. l do not know what has

1T NEEDED NO PIANIST.
An Observing Eye Could Easily Tell
Some of Her Faults.

An ODSerV1nS Eye SOuIu Easily 1SII
Some of Her Faults.
She was very young and very pretty.
She was stylishly gowned and her hat
was a dream" The man who was
with her evidently found no charm
wanting. But the woman who sat on
her other side, being an observant, criti-
cal stranger, noticed several things as
the car sped on that masculine blind
ness failed to detect.
She noted, for instance, that the blue
velvet stock about the girls neck was
pinned on. From the side on which she
sat one of the pins-just the common
article-was plainly visible. Then-
such little thing, but it counted so
much in the others estimation of the
girl-a wire hairpin had been carelessly
stuck into the golden coils OF hair
among the pretty ones of shell. There
was button missing from one OF the
gloves, too. 1t showed only once, when
the girl happened to raise her hand, but
the other woman took it in at glance.
When the girl leaned forward in her
seat, moreover, this keen observer saw
a part of a safety pin just visible be-
low the narrow belt and she knew that
the smart skirt had been hastily ad-
justed.
Then bit of girls conversation float
ed over to her.
"Now, you know" the pretty young
thing was saying earnestly to her COM
panion, according to the New York
Times, I'm not a bit superstitious and
l don't believe in fortune tellers or any
such nonsense. But l went to one of
these palmists and had my hand read
the other day, just for the fun OF it.
And what do you think the woman told
me? That l was awfully careless about
my things. That l hated to mend or
sew and never could keep my room in
order; that | always mislaid my gloves
and little odds and ends and had time
finding them when l was going out.
She said l always left everything till
the last moment and then rushed about
and dressed in a hurry. And, do you
know, it's so. That just exactly de-
scribes me. Now don't you consider
that remarkable? How on earth could
she have known?
The man seemed deeply impressed.
The other woman smiled.

On opening the door, out stalked the

sent it was to be allowed to go. 1t
followed the party, and at once INSTALL
ed himself as one of them. They fed
him with part of their own rations, and
petted him all round. He loves to
march at the head of a party Of the
regiment, and if the regiment is on the
road he is sure to be at the head Of the
column.
On outpost duty he is valuable
scout, and gives timely warning of ap-
preaching danger. Twice has he saved
the picquet from being cut off, and he
is looked on by all as real hero.
He had been christened by the name
of "Bobs," and knows his name well.
The regiment does not know what to
do with him when the war is at an end,
but hope to bring him home.

LEFT AND RIGHT HANDEDNESS
Explained by Anatomical Reasons for
Same Quality in Eyes.

Explained by Anatomical Reasons for
Same Quality in Eyes.
1t is a well-known fact that the
stronger activity of the nerves of the
right half of the body (for not only the
hand is concerneO must be ascribed
to a preponderance of the left side of
the brain, whose finer development, es-
pecially as the seat of the center of
speech, is a matter of common knowl-
edge, says the London Optician.
In paper by DR.. Luddeckens in the
Allemeines Journal der Uhrmacher-
kunst valuable information regarding
the causes of the unequal working Of
the two hemispheres of the brain is fur
nished. A sketch touching on the his
tory of evolution leads from the orig
inal symmetry of the organism to a
subsequent disymmetrical arrangement
of the heart and the large blood veS-
sells, from which it follows quite nat
urally that the two halves of the head
are not placed on an equal footing as
regards the distribution of the blood,
and consequently Of the blood pressure,
and that, on the contrary, there must
be. under normal conditions, stron-
ger pressure on the arteries of the left
side of the head.
This theory is borne out by we'll
known experiences of anatomists and
| pathologists and a series of interesting
observations. Of especial interest is
the effect of the higher blood pressure
upon the left eye. DR.. Luddeckens
found in the latter, as compared with
the right one, in a surprisingly large
number of cases, narrower pupil in
consequence of a more f1lled-up con-
dition of the vessels of the iris, and
upon closer examination a shorter con-
struction of the eyeball. This furnishes
reason for the fact that in a large num-
ber of persons the left eye is the bet
| ter one. Thus the finer development
of the left half of the brain is explain
ed very simply by the fact that it is
better supplied with the blood, and the
question why it is the seat of the cen
ter of speech, and why most people
! are right-handed is solved in the most
| natural manner.
| 1t is striking how true a reflection of
| the conditions described is afforded by
| the examination of left-handed persons.
| In many cases a redder color was no
| ticeable on the right side of the face;
the right eye was built shorter, its
pupil narrower; in short. everything
| points to a better blood supply on the
| right side ST the brain, which, in con-
