HORSE WAS FRISKY.
Caused Some Excitement in Division
Street this MOrning.

A bakery wagon belonging to Neu-
nan 81 Bleier was being driven down
Division street from Broad street, this
morning, when, just after turning in
to tho former street from the latter,
tho horse started off on n jump that
threatened to cause trouble before the
animals speed was checked.
With several dogs barking and run
ming after the wagon, the horse dashed
down the street, narrowly missing one
or two pedestrians and drawing
people to their windows by tho noise.
When he reached the corner of Divi-
sion and Fayette streets and New
Brunswick avenue, the driver, whip
in hand, drove the horse almost across
New Brunswick avenue, aud then,
wheeling sharply, turned down Fay
otte street, towards State.
AS he turned, the horse came within
a foot or two of KNOCKING down II
woman who was crossing New Bruns-

Ambidexterity.

Gen. Baden-Powell has long been
able to write and draw with either
hand with equal facility. During some
manoeuvers which took place when
his right arm was useless owing to
the bite Of a dog, he wrote and illus.
trated his daily reports entirely with
his left hand, says the House Beau.
tiful." Sir Walter Parratt, organist of
st. Georges chapel, Windsor, can &C.
company full choral service with his
left hand and his feet and write let
ter at the same time with his right
hand. Queen Victoria was ambidex.
trOus; she could draw as well with
the left hand as with the right. Prof.
Morse of the Baltimore university and
Sir Edwin Landseer were able to use
either hand impartially; and the great
artist-scientist Of the Renaissance
period in Italy, Leonardo dc Vinci, was
ambidextrous. Conjurers and jugglers
must be able to depend upon the left
hand as much as upon the right. All
who possess ambidextral power de.
clare it to be a most highly priced
faculty. The Japanese appear to be
the most ambidextrous nation in these
days, though many Orientals are able
to use either hand with impartiality.
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 right and left
foot to their aid.

Harm Done by Paris Green.

Speaking Of the potato an observant
Maine farmer states that for several
years past he has noticed no potato
balls, although previously the plants
were covered with them. He gives as
a reason for this that the paris green,
used so generously in recent years for
the determination of the bugs, killed
the flowers of the plants and thus pre-
vented them from going to seed.
