The Pleasure of Visits,
From the London Spectator

rom the LONDON spectator
1t is a pleasant sensat ton to wake I'D in
the morning and feel that one is a guest
Strange wall papers and strange furniture
surround ones bed and there is stranga
view out of the window. All the jostling de-
mons of worry. anxiety and responsibility
whether domestic or professional who
stand ready to crowd upon our Conscious
ness vanish in the unfamiliar environment
We have got away out of the claws of the
usual and lie blissfully waitin, for a knock
at the door which shall have an unfamiliar
sound
Dow nstairs We find ner faces new pic
lures. strange books, 4 fresh standpoint
Life has a new SAVIOR. We taste IT every
where in the atmoso h"ce ard in the :, n
versation. even in the bread and the salt
Our first sensation IS ,nat everything de
ponds upon somebody else. 1t is nothing to
do with us whatever happens But present
~ the old truism of our childhood-that
every situation in life has its duties--comes
back to mind. and though with cur
waking thoughts cast off those of the
home dweller. we must immedi ataly preDar e
to take on those of a gueSt-at least If We
are consttutionally conscientious. which,
alas, all guests are not. They may, indeed
be divided by this conscience test into visit
ing sheep and visiting goats. The motto Of
the conscientious guest Is Nine. MohI s
well-known saying: TT is Il shame to eat
another mans bread and give him nothing
in return Such one should be a joy -
his hostess. but In the holiday world Of
hosts and guests. as in workadny life, good
intentions do not always insure success
the conscientious sometimes fail where the
unconscientous succeed.

What Railroads Do For Us,

From the Hartford Courant.
In this wet and sunless season, when fruit
has been so scarce, the best melons re-
ceived in the Hartford market have come
here from Mexico and Colorado These
have been very choice and notably fine, not
the makeshift Of an emergency Who
would have imagined comparatively few
years ago that perishable small fruits
would be carried such distances? The
trunk line Of railroad, the reduced cost OF
transportation and the Introduction Of the
refrigerator car have made this amazing
result possible.
and after all. that is only one of many
astonishing incidents of the markets of the
day. Just think of the statement now made
public that last year there were imported
into this country over % COO 600 punches
of bananas. 1t is not SO very long ago that
banana was a luxury. 1t has become one
of the cheap and abundant fruits In their
time we get strawberries from as far as
Florida and peaches from Georgia, and the
supply of California fruits that the cars
bring us is said to be only the suggestion
of what Is coming later. They have found
GASES in Montana, Idaho and other far
western states where 1t is said the finest
fruits of the country are grown. AS this
fruit culture develops the markets of the
east Will get the benefit
1t is with these small delicacies that the
marvel of transportation seems most evil
dent, but in fact, we are dependent on the
cars for practically everything we need.
Our meats come from beyond the Misss-
Slppi, and our flour comes far. We could
not live a week our own resources and
the whistle of the steam engine and the
roar of the cars are the announcement of
the coming of the things that we must have
to keep a-going. On the other hand, of
course, the things that we here are max
ing are necessary to the producers else
where, and 1t is in the exchange of these
services that we all keep busy.

AUTO OMNIBUSES.
New Motor Car Era Dawning for the
City Of London

From the London Standard.
At an early date London will follow
Hastings with the Introduction Of motor
omnibuses.
Both the General Omnibus Company and
the Road Car Company, who own between
them about 800 horse omnibuses are ar
ranging with the Mercedes Motor Car Com
pany at Constant to supply an installment
of motor vehicles for experiment.
Probably each company will begin with
about twenty cars, and these proving sat
isfactory, no time will be lost in bringing
motor Omnibuses into general use.
Many isolated experiments were made
during last year. with disappointing results
1t was found that the motor omnibuses
literally went to pieces under the tear
and wear of the public service. The in
dia rubber tires wore down so quickly that
it was apparent some improvement must
be made If the vehicles were to pay.
1t is hoped that the forthcoming trials
will be satisfactory, as special solid tires
and a stronger type of vehicle have been
constructed.
In size, shape and width the motor omni-
bus will not differ much from that to
which London has been so long accustomed
The fares also will remain practically SINH
lar.
But an important innovation is to be the
Introduction of express motor omnibuses.
These will run without stopping between
distant points, anu the advantage of a
quick journey will entitle the companies
to make an additional charge.
To distinguish the express motor vehicle
from the ordinary the former will be paint
ed a different color By this means pas
sengers waiting on the curb will under
stand what omnibuses stop and what do
not stop at intervening stations or between
recognized batting places.
or course, as the secretaries of the re-
spective companies pointed out yesterday,
the expresses must be filled with people be-
fore they start. On this account they are
expected to prove most useful in the morn
ings
The motors will be driven by petrol and
electricity at the rate of ten miles an
hour where traffic permits, or about double
the speed of the horse omniouses.

LEFT-HANDEDNESS
And Left-Sidedness Said to Be Inner.
tied From Savage Races.

From the North American Review.
Much has been written about handed
people, but no one has heretofore tried
to determine by means of statistics how
frequently they occur, Prof. Lombroso de-
termined to undertake that task. He made
observations upon 1923 operatives and sol
diers, and found that the normal proportion
was per cent In men and to per cent
in women. Further research revealed the
fact that the proportion of left-handed peo-
pie among criminals is very much high
er. So that Prof. Lombroso regards left
handedness as new characteristic which
connects criminals with savages among
whom left-handedness is not uncommon.
His researches in this direction led Prof.
Lombroso to inquire whether there is not
also what one might call left sidedness-
that 1s, whether there are not people who
have a greater sensibility on the left side
than on the right He discovered that left
sdedness exists in much large proportion
than left-handedness, and that ft-handed
people do not have more of this sensitive
left-sidedeness than right-ha nded people In
lunatics this sensitive left-sidedness is al
most more the rule than the exception; the
conclusion being that left-handed people
are more numerous among criminals and
sensitive leftsided people among lunatics
LOmbroso remarks:
LAS man advances In civilization and
culture he shows an always greater right
sidedness as compared to savages. the
masculine In this way Communicating the
feminine and adults outnumbering chill
dren. Thus women and savage races, even
when they are not properly left-handed
have certain gestures and movements
which are species Of left-handedness
Some time ago Delaunay observed that the
man holds out the right arm, which the
woman takes with the lefti that the woman
buttons her clothes from right to left
while the does SO from left to right
and that women and children, when they
trace a line turn key, for instance of
a watch initiate the movement from right
to left, while the adult, man does so always
from left to right. This explains why. in
early times, and still, among people little
civilized. such as Arabs. the writing was
preferably from right TO left, which is the
habit of children until corrected. Delaunay
even went far in his observations as to
discover that antique schronometers were
| wound from right to left. while modern
ones are wound in the opposite direction

Romance in Art,
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe.
The vicissitudes of art are curiously illus
trated by law suit in Paris concerning a
portrait by Lawrence, which. besides it's
association with the great English portrait
painter. brings to light little romance of
an English royal duke in the days Of
George III. The portrait is of Mr.. Stra-
chan Of Marin. who is stated to have been
a morganatic son Of the duke and friend
of the artist. How this picture can have
been lost for nearly a century is unknown,
hut four years ago a M. Leon, an amateur
bought 1t at Paris dealers, and cleaning
It up brought to light a note signed Rose
Strachan.' a daughter of the subject, re-
questing her residuary iegatee to convey
the picture to the Comte de Las Casas,
whose grandfather was the friend of her
family. The count has brought action for
possession of the portrait on the strength
of this note, but the court yesterday de-
cIded that 1t constituted no title of the ma
ture of property.

Origin of the Tent.
From Outing


An ancient Talmudic legend relates that
Adam his expulsion from paradise en-
countered cutting north wind against
which his scant girdle of fig leaves proved
poor protection. AS he wistfully cast his
eyes over the desolate plain of Shinar he
perceived al a great distance dead thorn
bush. Running thther he crouched behind
1t. and while still shivering he saw a wild
come by. And Adam cried to the beast
to lie down alongside and keep him warm.
But the ass spake out (''for asses some-
times spake in those days as since" saith
the commentator). and derided him for not
having warm coat Of fur. Whereupon
Adam waxed wroth. and slew the ass with
a piece of the thorn tree, and with teeth
and nails stripping off the ass coat. wrap
ped 1t around himself. But toward noon
the sun growing hot and a scorching wind
arising, Adam conceived the happy thought
Of hanging the skin over the bush and re-
posing in the shade thereof. 1t was done.
