The majority of the city counetimen evidently regard the longing on the part of some of the people of the city for a registration ordinance inthe same light an indulgeut father would regard the longing of his boy for a tin whistle.

No Place for a Dragon Fly.

A big brown dragon fly flonted
laisurely into Sixth avenue depart
ment store the other day and zig
Jagged its way to the lace counter,
where it made one of the midair
bauses so common to the insect and
so startling to the spectator unac-
ouainted with its ways.
The pause was made directly in
front of a blue-eyed young woman
with auburn hair, rampant, a 10 POM
padour, who stood behind the counter
The blue-eyed young woman was
so amazed at the fierce-eyed, culver
ing apparition that she was speech,
less; but when the dragon fly, salts
fed with it's inspection, made wild
dash toward that rampant head, the
owner sent up shrek which at once
communicated itself to the other
young woman behind that and ada
cent counters, until it would have
been thought that wholesale murder
was being done there.
"Sh!" said some one at last who
seemed to know something. ITS only
a harmless dragon fly looking for
flies!",
The blue-eyed young woman with
the ambitious pompadour rose to the
occasion promptly. With unmasked
Indignation she tossed her fiamboyant
head and said: .....
The very idea! There amt no
flies on me!"-New York Sun.

The rustic saw q canvas that was wide.
A picture that he never might forget!

And knew such ecstasy as artists know
And dreamed the dreams inspired poets

And often others gladly fingered there
To see the gorgeous picture Nature

They gazed In wonder, breathing Gods
pure air,
And turned, exalted, when the light
They listened to the pine trees murmur-
ings,
They drank up gladness from the leap
ing brook, >
And thought the gracious lord had
planned these things
That all mankind might quaff and hear
and look.
One day a rich man CHANGED to linger
there,
He gazed across the valley dark and
green;
He heard the brook, he breathed the
sweet, pure air,
And rather liked the splendor Of the
scene
Therefore he bought it all, that only he
Might henceforth stand and gaze, ex-
allied, aWed,
And fenced it in, that no one else might
see
And rise little nearer to his God.

Where, They Were Appreciated.
The government has with great lib
erality. distributed public documents
from Washington. to the remotest parts
of the country. In his book on 1.-THE
Overland Stage to California" Mr..
Franklin Root tells how the overland
mails were sometimes relieved. Be-
fore the daily mail went into operation,
and when stage went to Salt Lake
City only once a week, some of the
boys on the line used to despise a
coach almost wholly loaded up with
public documents, but such mail matter
came quite handy at times. Occasion
ally the drivers, as they themselves
said, would get stalled going through
a bad slough in rough, weather, and
would be unable to move In that
case they were obliged to take out sack
after sack of the "Pub. Docs.," open the
bags, and pile the massive books from
the government printing Office into the
slough, and by building a solid foun-
dation with them, were enabled thus to
pull the coach out of the mire. j -,

BOXING IN GREAT BRITAIN.
Uouta Between Professionals Ars
More Ceremonial Than
In America. -

Boxing is we'll conducted In Eng
land" said an American just home
from the British isles. "Clubs, must
comply with the law, which is strict
in regard to- having plenty Of exits in
case of fire or panic. B.. -. ....'. =, ~,
Good shows are given to which the
admission is from IL to. 37111 cents. our
money, for the best seats. The bouts
begin early and last often until after
midnight, the clubs giving their pa
irons the, full worth Of their money.
The bouts are ten rounds or over. '>;.'..'
"The style of boxing is slow as COM
pared with that seen in this country.
The English boxer takes. his time wait
ing for knockout blow, and some
times three or four rounds will go
without blow being struck. ..
when the men enter the ring the
referee introduces the fighters, first
announcing the mans name, then
reading off his record. Then the Sec
onds are introduced. and finally the
timekeepers. The same process is
gone through on the other side of the
ring: Then the referee steps outside
the ring, where he sits on a chair
during the bout. He calls to the men
to break, and they are soon disqualified
and sent from the ring II they refuse
to obey instructions. 80
"On the opposite side Of the ring
from the referee is an umpire, who
acts as a sort Of assistant referee,
looking out for any attractions of the
rules on his side Of the ring.
when man is knocked down his
opponent is sent to the corner and not
allowed to stand over him waiting for
a chance to knock him down again as
soon as he gets to his feet. This is in
accordance with a strict Interpretation
of the Queensberry rules, and is in
marked contrast with the practice
usually adopted in contests in this
country"

To Please His Critics.

Half a century ago Wagner was Sc
verely criticised in London for con-
Quoting concerts without q score. He
was giving some Beethoven concerts,
and he knew the masters symphonies
by heart. After the first performance
one Of the London papers scolded the
composer Of f'Tannhauser" for directing
the symphony without score in front
OF him. AT the: next concert young
Wagner had q book Of music open be-
fore him on the desk. The following
day the same newspaper printed i 4
commendatory article which praised
him for his better interpretation of
Bee hoyen, the improvement due, of
course, to the use of the score. Wag-
Ener announced for the benefit Of his
critic that the score in front Of him

LEFT-HANDED PEOPLE.
More Numerous .Among the Criminal
I Glass Than Among Honest Men,
! Says DIR. Lombroso

: It has been generally understood that
it is a misfortune to be left-handed, but
few. of us are ready to be told that the
disqualifica is a moral one. The
peasantry of northern Italy have been
accustomed, however. to use the phrase
to describe untrustworthiness and, &C.
cording to their distinguished country
man, DR.. Cesare Lombroso, they have
only blundered in their popular speech
into one of the latest of his own scien-
ti1ic discoveries, says the London Globe
As DR.. Lombroso puts the case, we may,
with good deal e safety, assume that
. left-handed man will be a bad man.
There is much larger percentage Of
people who are not right -handed among
criminals than among honest men; and
il our Investigators figures are to be
trusted, left-handed women are in yet
more evil case. Swindlers are asserted
TO show the largest proportion Of left
=handedness among admitted criminals.
It would be curious to inquire whether
there are other races besides the Lom-
sbards and Tuscans inswhich the excep-
tional proneness Of left-handed persons
to vice has passed into proverb. One
would certainly desire evidence from q
wider Induction off facts than seem "a
BE yet available before accepting Dr..
Lombroao,s startling generalization. s.
