WHY NOT BOTH l4ANDED9
Sailors and Mustcians Use Their Lefi
 Hnuds-Can yOuf

Sailors and Musicians Use Their Left
 Hands-Can Youf
 Most people are not right handed to the extent generally implied. Pianists and to a greater extent violinists give as difficult work to the left hand as tO the right. Most cricketers can at any rate stop and catch ball pretty much as well with one hand as with the oth- CT. In the gymnasium, even in fencing and single sticks, either hand is prac. ticed. In boxing the left is the mora used, though this may be due to the coordinate use of the right leg. Gen. eralIy speaking, when the two hands are used simultaneously the right has no excessive mastery. Right handed ness is a matter of degree with differ ent people. Most surgeons are a good deal better with the left hand than men of other professions, and great many of them bear personal witness to the benefit they owe to their ambidex- terity.
 We may perhaps at once grant that almost every one would be the better for little more control over his left arm and fingers. Let any one attempt to write a sentence with his left hand, and hwwill feel some sort of shame for the impotence of his will over his members. The Japanese approach more nearly than any other nation to the ideal of ambidexterity, and it is a fair inference that they owe to the training of their left hand some part of the mechanical and perhaps artistic skill for which they are becoming fa- nous. The left hand is practiced con- siderably in the education of our sail- ors, and it may be their 'shandiness" is partly the result of this training. On the whole, the educated classes are pitiably helpless in the common de- mands Of manual work.-Saturday Re view.

THE USE OF TOBACCO.
How a Afan May Tell if He Is smol<
 Ing Too Much.

How a Man May Tell if He Is Smok-
 Ing Too Much.
 A correspondent wishes to know what constitutes the excessive use of tobacco. It sounds very simple ques- tion, but it is nevertheless distinctly hard to answer. In the case of alcohol it is easy to define the point where ex- cess begins. But there is this differ ence, as the writer points out, between the abuse of alcohol and the abuse of tobacco-that a man often drinks to ex- cess because the more he takes the more he wants. the sensation becoming more attractive with every glass. With tobacco, on the other hand, the effects of pipe too many are so painful to the tongue and so unpleasant generally that the smoker stops as rule just be- fore that point. The smoker thinks he is smoking to excess when he finds the process physically unpleasant. Doc tors look more deeply into the matter. Like most other affairs of health, the matter resolves itself probably into a question of how much each individual constitution can endure. What would be excessive in one man is harmless in another. These things are best left to common sense. There is, however, one test which ts as nearly as possible in- fallible. If the smoker can leave off at will he may comfort himself with the reflection that he is not too greatly devoted to his pipe.-London Globe.

shoula Train Harne.. Horses.

Dealers get high prices for well drill- ed and we'll educated horses almost at first showing, and it would be well if our buyers of fast light harness horses were as insistent relative to manners and character of the record holders that they annually add to their private driving outfits. Everything is sacri- hced for mere speed, and horse that an elderly gentleman could drive with safety to light vehicle would indeed be hard commodity to locate. Soon- CT or later the consignor who schools his record holder to all such sights as would be encountered on a drive will find that his offerings will bring much higher prices than otherwise, shorn of the experiencing chapter.

How . County Got It. Name.

Frenchtown. in Antelope county, Neb., received it's name from the num- Der of French settlers in the vicinity. The county itself received it's name from party of Platte county settlers. They were chasing band of Indian cattle thieves across what Is now An telope county when they became so ex- hausted for lack of food that they could not go farther. At this critical time an antelope appeared in sight and was shot, thus possibly saving the lives of the hunters. One member of this party was in the legislature that named the territory, including the scene of. this incident, and the county was named Antelope at his suggestion. Nebraska State Journal.

ever came on and saw Yale win, as was expected. The score was 12 to o. If the score fails to show the relative meritsSof the teams it fails in not cred- iting Yale high enough. Certainly the teams looked more like 16 to o than last years Yale and Harvard teams which finished their game with that score.
 The Harvard eleven was not out played man for man. 1t was the Yale line that did the business, and particr -ularly Hogan and Boomer. Tn his last game for Yale the Eli captain out shone himself In the line he was through on every play, but rarely could his waddling opponent, Brill, put him out of the way. He was a human cat apult with the ball and like blood hound in following it. If either side fumbled, which both did many times, it was a 10 to 1 shot that Hogan fell on the ball, He went racing all over the field just as Stillman used to in past days, blocking, interfering and tackling. Tn the first half when Har- yard man stole the ball from the Yale runner when near their goal and had an open field ahead of him, Hogan let him take seven steps and then brought him down with a dive from behind. His was ideal tackle play. No totter- ing around and falling down like Rrill's, the far-heralded boy wonder.
 Tripp and Kinney played the guard positions in faultless form. All told the Crimson did not gain twenty yards through the center. In return they opened up great holes between tackles and guards.
 1t was at breaking through on punts that the limelight shone brightest upon them Two Harvard kicks were abso- lutely smothered and two more were partly spoiled, a record unequaled in any Harvard Yale game At center Roraback was the master of Parker and later Parkinson. His passing was not ideal, but it was better than that of the Crimson players and several times he broke through and downed the runner.
 Shevlin played in his old time form at end. The queer and intricate criss- crosses and such plays that Harvard tried in the first half fell flat for loss of from five to ten yards when his end was tried. He missed a few tackles, but he made more. Neal was close be- hind him in skill and particularly watchful of the ball. Of the Harvard ends little may be said except Of Mat thews, the colored man. His playing was fully up to Shevlin's. Randall posed most of the time while he was in, while Montgomery did not seem to know what to do. He acted as if the signals were being given in some strange dialect. Pruyn played, too.

MICHAEL TO RAGE wALTHoUR.

Jimmy M1cnael, the WOnderful little Welsh Rarebit," has been matched to race Bobby Walthour for the worlds middle distance paced cham pionsIip.

 Michael has been riding in great form of late in France, Germany and Austria, and reports in bicycle circles abroad, say that he is as fast now as he ever was in his life. The six-day race management has been seeking everywhere to find suitable opponent for Walthour and have selected Mi chael form an army of fast foreigners Michael will sail for New York in com pany with the foreign riders who are to compete in the six-day's race.

Cadets Quit the field Be- cause of Rou ah Usage A Fast Tie Came-AcOrns Win i'm Bridgeport.

One of the games at the Riverside grounds yesterday resulted very un- satisfactory to the spectators and to at least one of the teams engaged in the contest. The teams engaged ill the contest were the St Thomas Cadets Jrs, and the Acorns. In the first half after Legge had made a touchdown and Bagley had kicked goal for the Cadets, the Acorns started rough house game. McNeliis was removed from the game for playing too roughly and that only melted the others to continue the roughness. It was not football but rough and tumble fighting the Acorns seemed to delight in and the Cadets were taken from the field by their manager and did not return. The line

Philadelphia, Nov 21.-After five hard rounds at the Richmond Athletic club Saturday night, Jim Jeffords de- feated Fred Cooley of Chicago. The bout was stopped by the referee at a time when Cooley was in distress and would no doubt have been knocked out While it lasted the affair was full of action.
 Cooley Lad the better of the opening round, but in the second Jeffords put him down for the count. The Califor- nian repeated the trick in the third and in the fourth by clever boxing easily outpofnted his man. At the opening of the fifth Jeffords made a punching bag of Cooley when the ref cree mercifully stopped it.

Christy MatheS:son, the great New York pitcher, has finally made up his mind that there will be no playing in Los Angeles for him this autumn. The coast club wanted Christy to pitch the remaining games of the series in the Pacific league and offered him $2,5Oo. Mathewson was eager to accept the offer. but President Brush of the Giants refused to consider the proposition. He also told McGinnity to stay at home, thus arcusing that veteran box man to rebellion. Christy has decided to go on hunting trip to Michigan with Frank Bowerman, the burly backstop of the Giants.

PLEASED WITH OUR ENLARGE
MENT.

Already expressions OF appreciation
for the enlargement of The COMMON
WEALTH have reached US. We are
glad that our efforts to improve the
paper are appreciated, and we hope to
he able to give our readers more
valuable paper than we have ever sent
out.
Bear in mind, however, that while
THE COMMONWEALTH is now enlarged
one half, the subscription price has not
been raised at all. The price is still
only dollar year; but with the in
crease OF labor and expense Of the
paper 1t means that we must have the
dollar. The season is upon us now
when almost anyone can pay dollar
debt and we do not hesitate to say
that we want every subscriber to pay
us up this fall. The sooner arrears are
paid the better for all.
