AMBiDExTeRous PEOPLE.
Persons Possessed Of Power to Write
with Either Hand Declare It q
! Highly-Prized Faculty,

Gen. Baden-Powell has long been
able to write and draw with either
hand with equal facility. During some
maneuvers which took place when his
right arm was useless owing to the
bite of a dog, he wrote and illustrated
his daily reports entirely with his left
hand
Sir Walter Parratt. organist OF St.
Georges chapel, Windsor, can accom-
pany a full choral service with his left
hand and his feet. and write letter at
the same time with his right hand.
Conjurers and jugglers must be able
to depend upon the left hand as much
as upon tie. right.
All Who possess ambidextral power
declare it to be most highly-prized
faculty.
The Japanese appear to be the : -ost
ambidextrous nation in these days.
though many orientals are able to use
either hand with impartiality
I The shah of Persia signs his name
with either left Or right hand; artisans
in the east are frequently able to work
with either hand with equal skill, and
they also bring both RIG t and left feet
to their aid.

IN AN AWKWARD POSITION.
Stage Villain in Wild Western Town
Headed Off by Unapprecia-
tive Audience.

I'VE were playing in small town il
the far west of America some years ago,
said an actor, when our leading man hat
rather a rough experience. All the
miners of the district were in the the
ater Well, the villain had been perse'
cutting a poor maiden through two acts
In the third act he came to the powerful
scene of the play.
"At last he said, I have you in my
power. and nothing on earth can save
you. l, who was the slave, am now the
master!'
$50 saying. he advanced toward his
trembling victim.
Mercy!' she moaned.
'Mercy?' he retorted. You had nc
mercy for me, and l will have none fol
you!'
cat that moment gruff voice was
heard from the gallery:
"'You varmint! III settle with you.
There was the crack of pistol, and a
bullet whizzed near the heavy man.
''Plug the son of gun, boys!' con-
tinued the voice. and shower of bull
lets saluted the stage villain.
He didn't stop long. In the wing he
met the stage manager, who was white
with anger.
"'You have broken up the scene he
said.
"WeH?' PEI.
Go back to the stage. sir, and wait
for your exit
81 think not
{" I tell you l won't have the man in
my company who is so easily discon-
certed. Go on with the scene. or you
leave the company tomorrow
THAT was serious. To be stranded in
the fersaken town was calculated to
make the villain hesitate.
"Tll go back he said.
HE tore off his wig just before goirg
on. and, stepping down to the footlishts
with an injured expression of counter
ance. he said:
Ladies and gentlemen'-there we're
no ladies there but that didn't mat
ter-'wifh you kind permission. l will
resume the scene. Before doing So how
ever. | want to call your attention to the
fact that the young lady and myself are
merely acting parts. III reality We are
the best of friends. I bear no ill-will
for your display of heroic chivalry
trust. however, that you will curb your
generous sentiments. for if you should
hit me the play would be interrupted.
If any of the gentlemen will meet ms
after the show in saloon. they will find
out l am not bad fellow
Loud cheers greeted this speech, and
the play was resumed

Justice INDICATED.

The bicyclist from the city was
wheeling leisurely along the side path
in the outskirts of the little town,
when the policeman, the only one the
| place afforded, arrested him and took
him before the local justice OF the
peace, says the Chicago Chronicle.
What is the charge against this
man." asked the justice.
tongue and an awful look Of horror
by ridin' on the sidewalk"
What have you to say, young
| man?"
Il suppose I'm guilty, your honor,
said the prisoner. But didn't know
was violating any ordinance"
Ignorance of the law excuses no
one"
II know that, your honor, but as
| the road was bad, and | saw other
| wheel tracks ON the walk, thought
it was all right"
'If the officer had seen the men that
made the other tracks it would have
been his duty to arrest them. l see
nothing to do but to impose fine OF
SIS, as provided by the ordinance.
"Your honor" said the prisoner.
this is the first time have ever been
hauled up before a magistrate on a
charge of any kind, and can't help
feeling that it's hardship. l shall
! not appeal the case, but I'd like to
!! have one chance to get on. l propose
that we flip coin to decide whether
the fine be so or nothing. That gives
me one loophole Of escape. What does
your honor say?' EEI&lf
The proposition seemed to appeal
! to the sporting instinct latent in the
mental constitution OF his honor.
"All right" he said after minutes
hesitation. II don't know any law
against that. You may flip the coin. -
What shall it be. your honor.

"Tails," hazzarded the court.
The coin was tipped.
His honor glanced at it as 1t fell,
covered it with one hand, and extend
ed the other to the prisoner.
81 congratulate you. young man,
he said. "You are discharged-on the
ground that this Is your first offense.
| But don't let it happen again"
The bicycler wendell his way, 1eav-
ing the coin in possession of the court,
and nobody to this day knows whether
| it really fell tails up or not.

SPEAK ONLY FRENCH THERE
Natives Of Some Sections of Louisiana
Are Entirely Ignorant Of the
English Language.

Congressman Broussnrd, of Louisi-
ana, is, as his name indicates, a.
French descent. He never spoke Eng
fish until he went to Georgetown uni
versity. 1t is curious" says Mr..
Broussard, how the French language
has remained the dominant tongue in
my part of the country
Brought there by Arcadians OF
Nova Scotia in the eighteenth century.
it prevails to-day. and believe al
ways will. Curoiusly enough, you
will find plenty OF men in my district
with such Enthusiastically English
names as Jones and Hayes who can t
read. speak or write a word of Eng
fish. #TE
''Still funnier is the talk of the
black people, Their negro French
would be unintelligible on Paris, and
yet it is the softest, sweetest. most
musical speech l ever heard from hui
man lips. 1t knows no grammar, but
it is the very essence of euphony and
melody"
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1904-10-22
SLIPS OF SCIENCE.

John Burroughs, after careful
study covering many years, is of the
opinion that animals don't think, but
have a keen perception. and live en-.
tirely in and through their senses.
For all its beauty the lily of the val
ley is denounced by scientists on the
ground that both the stalks and the
flowers contain poison. 1t is risky
to put the stalks into ones mouth, as
if the sap happens to get into even
the tiniest crack in the lips it may pro-
duce swelling, often accompanied by
pain.
Old-time notions receive another
rude shock from the strange theory Of
M. Houssay, French psychologist,
that meat eating-especially eating OF
raw meat-tends to impart gentleness
instead of ferocity. His experiments
were confined to fowls, part of which
were fed on grain and part on raw
meat, and the latter proved decidedly
tanner and less combative.
Dr.. G. w. Field, of the biological
farm in Sharon, Mass. instructs his
young turkeys to find and eat cater
pillars and in this way gets rid of the
pests. He takes turkey chick under
his arm and, passing along the young
cabbage plants, shows the caterpillar
to the bird, and the former sees his
finish. The young chicks are apt
pupils and soon can go it alone.
The French savant, NJ Bernard, is
convinced that Nansen took the only
route by which the north pole can pos
sibly be reached. He favors an ex-
pcdition with two ships connected by
wireless telegraphy. The time is esti-
mated at three years, and it is hoped
that the prince Of Monaco. who is
greatly interested. will contribute the
necessary 100000.

NOT PRACTICAL FARMERS
Good Profits Made in Small Fruit
Growing by Men Who Go
by Theory.

Farming. young man, is trade
not profession. 1t doesn't depend on
theories. 1t depends On practice. And
