LANDLORD AND THE TENANT.
Humorous instances Of Disaereen ents

Humorous Instances Of Dlsagreen1ents
.sls Between Them. >'
In Ireland, as elsewhere. the hard
ship of certain agreements between
house and their tenants Is felt
keenly by the latter, ..
A certain gentleman, in taking
large house, agreed that it should be
completely painted outside at his ex.
pense every year. He began to find
that the obligation was both uD-
necessary and terribly expensive, but
the landlord insisted upon the strict
letter of the bond being adhered to.
So the tenant called ir painter and
had the whole front of the house paint
ed white, with huge black, yellow and
red spots upon it in weird pattern.
The landlord, who lived next door,
protested, but the tenant showed that
he was within his right, and the two
soon came to terms.
In the other case tenant adver-
tised in the local papers and other
wise, as follows: WANTED, 10000
cockroaches and other insects by a
tenant who agreed to leave his pres
ent residence in the same condition
as 1t was when he took it." And he
gave the actual address, too.

Varying Expressions Used to Denote
~ Left-Hande dness,

~ left-Handedness.
Most parts of Great Britain have
fdiomatic expressions to denote left
handedness and they are often pre-
fixed to the unfortunate left-handed
ch1ld's name. In London the term is
knack-handed, the word being also
equivalent to awkward. In Lancashire
it is k-pawed, in Yorkshire gallock or
gaWkhanded, an expression dating
back to at least the seventeenth cen
fury. In Derbyshire are used the
terms keg-handed, cork-handed, or
corky- handed, while in the Teesdale
district cuddy-handed is common, and
in Nottinghamshire wallet-handed. In
the south of England special terms to
denote left-handedness are also found.
In Dorset it is scrame-handed and in
Devonshire coochy-handed In Scot.
land gawk-handed is used and in the
west cawry-handed. In Ireland left
handed man is called a kithogue.

been realized of commemorating in
