Use of Both Hands.

There are comparatively few people
who can use both hands indifferently,
yet this is IL most sensible accomplish
ment. When one hand grows tired, the
other should be able to take up the
work, for thus more can be accom-
plished without undue fatigue. In the
mechanical departments Of German
schools the boys are obliged to do
much of the work with their left
hands. They are taught to saw, plane
and hammer equally well with both
hands and to make large circles on the
blackboard first with one hand and
then with the other, says Home Notes.
Man, said to be the highest of ami
mails, is the only one which cannot use
all his limbs with equal ease. Man
uses his eyes equally well and his
legs, but how few people can make
their left hands do even half of the
things accomplished easily by the right
And this state of affairs is simply be-
cause the left hand is not trained. The
child is generally not allowed to let it
do it's share of work, but is made to
keep it idle while the right hand does

CURIOUS THINGS FROM CHINA
The Most Magnificent Beds Ever Seen
Are Part of The Celestial Empires
Worlds Fair Exhibit.

The Chinese exhibit at the Worlds
Fair is filed with pleasing surprises.
Some of the most magnificent articles
of furniture are a part of this wonder
full display. The carving and inlaying
of ivory. bone and wood illustrate the
marvellous skill of the Chinese.
Models included in this interesting
exhibit show the homes and home life
of the Chinese. their weddings and
funerals, Chinese tea house, restau-
rant and shop, Chinese weaving and
some of the beautiful silks and wear
ing apparel of the Chinese and their
methods of manufacturing them.
One feature of the exhibit is two
magnificent Chinese beds, each Of
which has the appearance Of being a
small house of great beauty. One Is a
summer bed. the other for winter. The
summer bed is hand carved and inlaid
with ivory and bone figures and land
scapes eXquisitely carved and SO
skillfully joined as to appear part OF
the wood. The bed and furniture are
of carved bamboo. The bed consists Of
an anteroom, with tables, chairs and
tea stands, and in an inner room, which
is the sleeping apartment, there is a
couch with coverings of gauzy silks.
The winter bed is still more elabo-
rate 1t consists, of three compartments.
The first contains four chairs, tea pOy
and a chest of drawers. This is the sit
ting apartment. The second is the dress
ing room, and the third is the sleep
ing apartment or the couch itself. The
furniture is of rosewood inlaid with
ivory carving of birds. flowers and
trees. The couch is covered with silks
of the finest texture and in gaudy col
ors. The sleeping compartments are
lighted with Chinese lanterns Of silk
hung at the outer entrance, while the
light enters through gauze panels, hand
painted and in forms Of rosewood in
laid with ivory figures.
A table and dish made Of highly pol
ished ash. with exquisitely carved
work is so artistically done that each
article seems to have been made Of
one piece of wood.
There is also large display Of Chi
nese lanterns made of silk, gauZe and
other light material and some made Of
beads artistically arranged with glass
centers. The silk and gauze are beau
tifully hand painted.

One OF the famous Rothschilds was
once entertaining at dinner a distin-
guished party. The dinner went on
admirably. Nothing married the gen.
eral enjoyment save the silly loquacity
Of one young man. This young man
insisted on monopolizing the converse
ton. He insisted on talking about him
self-about his books, his works, his
love affairs, his automobile. Finally
he jumped to his feet.
"By Jovev' he said. 81 must show
you my new cuff buttons. 1 got them
this morning. They are malachite. ]"
And he passed from one guest to an
other, exhibiting the buttons. 'Mala-
chite," he kept repeating-'genuine
malachite."
Baron Rothschild watched the young
mans progress with a faint sneer.
When the buttons reached him he
touched them with his finger supercili-
ously and drawled: "Ah, malachite, ell?

SAVAGE ATHLETICS.
Rough Training of the Natives q
the Canary Islands.

| Rough Training of the Natives OF
the Canary Islands.
| In this age of athletics one might
| think that no people ever showed SO
much interest in feats of muscular
might and skill as those who have per-
| fected football, but modern games and
even the games of the Greeks at Olym-
pia may have been more than matched
by the sports of peoples who are now
| held in little esteem. A writer on the
Canary islands gives an account Of
their athletic training which makes
even the college giants of today seem
weak and effeminate.
The Canary islands were subjected
by Spain about the time Columbus dis
covered America. The conquest was
due solely to the superiority of Euro
pean weapons and not to better skill
and prowess. The native soldiers were
trained athletes, developed under a
system which held athletic sports an
important business, like military drill.
Spanish chronicles have left us ac-
counts of the sports of the islanders.
From babyhOod they were trained to
be brisk in self defense. AS soon as
they could toddle the children were
pelted with mud balls that they might
learn how to protect themselves. When
they were boys stones and wooden
darts were substituted for the bits Of
clay.
In this rough school they acquired
the rudiments of warfare which en-
abled them during their wars with the
Spaniards to catch in their hands the
arrows shot from their enemies cross
bows.
After the conquest of the Canaries
a native of the islands was seen at Sc
vile who for shilling let a man
throw at him as many stones as he
pleased from Il distance of eight PAGES.
Without moving his left foot he avoid
ed every stone.
Another native used to defy any one
to hurl an orange at him with SO great
rapidity that he could not catch it.
Three men tried this, each with a
dozen oranges, and the islander caught
every orange. AS a further test he
hit his antagonists with each of the
oranges.
