presented on the theatrical stage and
was as successful in its way as the two

indeed something uncommon from the
start, that of '-Lovey Mary" no less so.

CHANDELIER FOIL.
One Item in the Stock of Dealers in Bar
and Hotel Supplies.

From the New York Sun.
A few years ago New York saloon pro-
prietor hit upon the idea of covering his
gas fixtures over in the spring. for their
protection from flies through the summer,
with tin foil instead of the familiar red or
pink or blue yellow netting. He saved
the tin foil wrappers from the tobacco he
used and his friends combined in like man
ner, and pretty soon he had foil enough to
cover them all.
1t was a novel covering that the shiny.
silvery looking foil made, and it caught the
eye and the fancy, and in the course of a
year or two this custom of covering gas
fixtures 1T this season with tin foil came to
be one commonly. Observed and foil-cov-
cred gas fixtures were to be seen in many
places. The tin foil manufacturers saw a
chance for them in the observance of this
custom. and they began putting up a tin
foil that Is especially designed for this use,
and that Is called chandelier foil
Chandelier foil comes in packages of one
pound each, such package being of about
the length and width and thickness of an
inch-wide chisel blade. Each package con-
tains six sheets of foil. each sheet forty
eight inches long by five inches wide or
sumcient to cover, with all Its arms, a
good-szed chandelier; 1t would be enough
for number of bracket fixtures. Chande-
lier foil doesn't cost much and 1t Is smoot h
instead of wrinkled, as the tobacco wrap
peTs always were; and being in consider
able lengths 1t can be made to cover better
ana more easily than could the tobacco
foils, coverings of which must. Of course.
always be made in patchwork.
Ana with these advantages chandelier
foil has come now to be a regular item in
the stock of dealers in bar and hotel sup
plies.

A few days ago a simultaneous attack
was made in one of the daily papers by
right-handed people upon their left-handed
brethren. The latter were accused Of being
defective in their wits. indifferent in their
morals, unsuccessful In their enterprises,
tickle in their ideals. and bungllng in their
practices. The assault closed with swing

cialist who disclosed the lamentable fact
that most criminals were left-ha Iceland
spoiled the effect of his statement by adj
miring some of the rogues as right smart
fellows. Now, We hold that the left-handed
man comes nearer to the ambidextrous ideal
than does his commonplace rival who uses
only one fist. For. whereas everything in
this world g made for the right-h nded

must accommodate himself to many con-
trivances and conditions that are foreign
to his preference, whereas the man with
