USE BOTH HANDS.

We should form the habit Of using
each of our hands In turn in our one
handed activities, said Sir James Saw
yer in a recent lecture. In a few
months we might attain to fair ambi-
dexterity, in few years to the full use
of each hand. For this object the best
exercise is writing with the neglected
hand. If man learned to write well
with either hand almost all the other
unimanual graces would be added unto
him. There are many other unimanual
activities in which, by changing the
hand employed in them. we might cuI-
tivate ambidexterity, as by carrying a
stick or umbrella, in fencing with a foil,
in counting money, in changing our
watch pocket from side to side, in
changing the parting of our hair, in
the use of spoon in taking soup, in
domestic carpentry and in many other
usual activities.

A DOG STORY.

A number Of noted New Yorkers were
presented TO Prince Pu Lun and the
Chinese Minister. Sir Chentung LANG
Cheng. during their American tour. and
one Of these gentlemen told an incident
that illustrated the remarkable intelIi-
gence of a dog of his, says writer in
the Woman's Home Companion.
The Minister said. with a smile. L
am reminded, sir, OF a Chinese dog
story There was a Chinaman whosha6~
three dogs. When he came home one
evening he found them asleep on his
couch Of teakwood and marble. He
whipped them and drove them forth
The next night when he came home
the dogs were lying on the floor. But
he placed his hand on the couch and
found 1T warm from their bodies. There
fore he gave them another whipping.
The third night. returning earlier
than usual. he found the dogs sitting
before the couch blowing on it to cool

Hannah's pardon and entreating her
forgiveness. When they were half
dead with thirst and hunger she in

mitted them to crawl over the rail and
promise all sorts of good behavior in
future.
The brig had lost valuable time, but

NU1INY AND PIRACY

three other things happened to put
her out of temper and she exercised
the privilege of a captain by break
ing the mate and sending him to the
fo'castle. When she would replace
him with the next best man the sailor
was with the mate. Aunt Hannah ex-
pressed her mind freely and as con-
sequence the crew refused duty. The
brig was brought to the wind, sail
taken off and the woman was laughed
at. She was told that not a man
would do duty until the mate was re-
instated.
Then it's mutiny, is it?" she re-
piled. 'Very well, I'll let you know that
you've got the wrong pig by the ear,
I'll lose brig, cargo and everything
else in the. world before I'll give In.
For day and night the brig made
no progress and as the weather was
fair she incurred no danger.
The crew saw that the woman dld
not intend to give in and it angered
them. There was one among them
who had read dozens of pirate books
and always longed to sail under the
black flag. Things had never come
right for him before, but now he took
advantage of the temper of the others
to broach the subject. He was a good
talker and he held out such an allur-
was above the average man in intelli-
gence, agreed to go into the pirate
business with the others. This deci-
sion was communicated to Captain
Hannah, who was wandering about
unconcernedly.
wait, Bill, that's all right" she
retorted. There's a rum and sugar
loaded bark comm our way, and you
might begin on her. I've got black
shawl which I'll give you for a flag,
and you just lay-to, board that bark
and give 'em fits
'I'll either turn pirate or command
this brig stoutly asserted the ex-
mate.
Then 1t is pirate you'll become,
for you'll never git command here"
So a signal of distress was set on
the brig. and when the bark came up
and was hove to she was boarded by
all the crew of the Snow in their own
yawl. They might have committed
some foolish act and had to smart
for it but for the woman left aboard.
Just before they reached the bark
she hoisted her black shawl as a sig
nal and warning. The crew of the
stranger saw that something was
tempted to board they were met with
capstan bars and Delaying pins. Some
were seized and flung into the sea
after being well thumped, and when
the bark resumed her voyage and
the yawl returned to the brig with
the discounted pirates they were
met at the gangway by Captain Han
nah and an ancient fowling-piece
and told to shear off. They felt 1t
wise to obey, and for seven long hours
they foated within cables length of

Dor Of the Shows at home. When the
accident happened to Captain Jabez
the mate naturally hoped to get COM
mand for the voyage. He would have
been distressed If any other captain
had come aboard. but to be walked
over by a woman, even though she
was the captains wife and a neighbor,
was too much.

or at least as well as any mate that
ever sailed with the Hannah Snow, as
the brig was named. Captain Snow ran
between Boston and the West India
Islands, and the shippers Of Boston
came to know his wife and the way
she could discipline a crew and handle
the craft.
On certain date the brig was load
ing in Boston for a quick market. Ex-
ira help was put on to get the cargo
aboard, and Captain Jabez signed
bond to get that cargo to its destina-
tion within certain number of days,
barring hurricanes. waterspouts and
other acts of providence. The bond had
not been signed more than an hour
when he broke his leg. Nothing was
surer than that he could not carry out
his agreement, and a great financial
lOSS, DIS wen DIS many weeks Ol VSAd-

Captain Jabez was wondering II a man

CHINA DEPARTS IN
TEETH OF A K0NA

The p. NJ. S. S. China came in at S:45
a. m. yesterday from the Orient and
locked at the Channel Wharf, discharg-
ing about 500 tons of freight. There
were three passengers for Honolulu.
At o'clock the vessel departed for
San Francisco, but her leaving was not
in the smooth water experienced when
she came into the harbor. At o'clock
a small Kona was blowing, churning
up the water and putting severe
strain on the hawser which the tug
Fearless had hold of. The China had
to be swung entirety around, but this
work was splendidly executed by Pilot
McCauley and the tugs captain.
A large crowd went from Honolulu
and the band was on the dock to play
them off. The German Consul and Mrs.
Isenberg, laden with leis, went up the
gangway to the music of a German
selection, and several prominent Japan
csc aboard the vessel DOTTED their hats
when the Japanese national anthem
was played. Some of the through pas
sengers amused themselves throwing
nickels. dimes and quarters to the
swimming boys who were gathered on
the dock.
Among those departing from here
were the Isenbergs, who go TO Germany
for year; e. d. Tenney. president of
Castle & Cooke, who. with II. p. Bald
win. goes to California on business,
which is said to have a mission con-
corning refinery matters. Geo. Rolph
and family also departed. Mr.. Rolph
is also one of the sugar men.
Among the through passengers, V. V.
Grazensky and A. ID. Prospeloff, form
erly, respectively, the postmaster and q
customs officer at Port Arthur when the
fortress surrendered. The former is
said to have had little foreign mail to
handle-that is, incoming mail

ANTUCO IS IN
FROM HAMBURG

One hundred and thirty-two days
from Hamburg, the German bark Antti-
co made port early yesterday morning
and went along the Hackfeld wharf.
She has a general cargo, including big
shiomert OF cement and some large
boilers. The Antuco made fine pas
sage, considering the stormy weather
that prevails at this time of the year.
The trim through the North Sea was
made in good weather, but heavy storns
were encountered in the run through
the English Channel.
A good voyage down the Atlantic
brought the Antuco to the vicinity OF
Cape Horn, where storms were again
struck. The vessel rounded the Horn
in II days. From so South to Honolulu
fine weather was struck and splendid
run was made. The Antuco was off the
island of Hawaii when Fridays kona
struck her and things were lively for a
while. The decks were pretty wet and
the toDsails were taken in in hurry.

bark bound from lauique to Honolulu
was sighted This is probably the
