the middle. DR.. Gould thinks that the
choice was governed by the employ
ment of the right hand for giving sig
mails. So intimately related are the
functions Of speech and vision and
the control Of the muscular efforts with
the right arm that action would be
quicker if the cerebral centers control
ling them were closely associated
Before discussing the cause of left
handedneSs Dr. Gould calls attention to
the fact that with right handed people
the left hand is occasionally called up
on to perform task Of greater impor-
lance than it's mate. In eating the
fork is used more than the knife. In
playing violin or vol0ncell0 the fin
gering is done with the left hand and
the bowling with the right. It is SIG
geSted that some of these operations
may result from the superiority of the
right eye. Perhaps the latter can watch
and guide them better when they are
performed with the left than with the
right hand.
Left handedneSS is considered by DR.,
Gould an inheritance from ancestors.

by some misfortune to abandon the use

been as to the right eye. With the cul-
tivation Of skill with the left hand, he
believes, there followed change in
the organization of the brain. Owing
TO disease the center, which had for
merly controlled action, lost its vigor
and that on the opposite side acquired |
increased power. Dr. Gould says that |
the speech center was also transferred |
from the left side to the right of the
brain IN consequence. In the transmits

SHRINES IN MOROCCO.
Why Some People Look Upon Them
With SusniciOn


With Suspicion.
a traveller says that Christians in Mo,
rocco look with suspicion on the
shrineS of Mohammedan saints In that
country. He tells the following story:
"Once upon time boy was travelling
through the country, and as night came
on he found himself near q white
washed tomb. Knocking at the door Of
the shrine. he asked for q meal and q
bed. When the next day dawned he
was about to continue his journey, but
the keeper Of the shrine besought him
to remain In order to help him keep
the shrine and collect the offerings of
the faithful. The youth said that he
must first consult his parents, and the
elder man babe him take his ass and
seek advice Of his parents and return.
The boy took the ass and rode away,
but he had not accomplished half the
journey before the ass fell sick and
died. Then the boy knew not what to
DO nor where to turn. But when he
had considered the circumstances of
his case brilliant idea flashed into his
mind.
Having dug pit and cast the ass
therein, he piled great stones over it.
whitening them with lime, and set a
white flag above, saying to all who
] assed by, This is the tomb of st. So
;nd-so.' Then worshipers came from
every side, aims were poured in and
offerings showered upon him. The
keeper Of the former shrine lost his
customers and came to visit the new
saint. He when the crowd had gone
approached the young shrine keeper.
1 ask thee by Allah said the old man,
who Is this saint of thine and what
manner Of thing Is buried here?
I will not deceive thee, but will tell
thee the truth returned the youth.
My saint who is buried here is none
other than thy beast, even the carcass
OF thine own ass. And now, pray, who
Is thy saint and who in truth is buried
In the shrine thou keepestY 4 will not
deceive thee, but will tell thee the
TRUTH replied the old man. My saint
IS the father Of thy saint"

The Paris Detectives.

The Paris detective has q great
reputation for tracking down the crimi-

secondly, by the extended use he
makes of the informer, who may be
of the criminal class himself. Nu-
merous are his DISCUSSES. One day he
has the clothes as well as the speech
and manners of a voyou, the next he
is on the race course, his accent chang

said Lord Kitchener in an awful voice.
The interrogative mood was answered
by the imperative, Pick up my ball."
Lord Kitchener looked round despair

sight. Where is your mother?" he
said weakly. "Pick up my ball. re-

The gallipot was pushed toward the

the abominable concoction and with
many a wry face sucked the abomina-
ton from their fingers.

ThrashinE TrOllope.

During Anthony Troilope's early
days in the p%ostofice It was the Gus
tom for the junior clerks to take turns
in the waiting room to answer ques-
tons. One day, when Trollope was
on duty, a young woman came to make
some complaint, and she went away
much displeased and upset by what
she considered to be the gross rude
ness with which she had been treated
by him.
Next day, Trollope being again on
waiting room duty, two stalwart young
men appeared, and, having ascertain
ed that they were in the company of
the clerk who had been in attendance
there on the previous day, they shut
the door and proceeded to give A. T.
a most severe thrashing. The pair to-
gether completely overpowered the fu-
ture novelist, whom they informed,
when they had sufficiently chastised
him, that this was punishment for his
insolence to the young woman who
had called at the office on the previous
day and who was their sister.-West-

How n Porcupine Fights a Snake.

A man who witnessed a fight be-
tween a porcupine and a blacksnake
thus describes the battle: 81 came upon
the scene just as the hedgehog began
the attack upon the snake, which was
lying stretched out on the road asleep.
The hog advanced cautiously upon the
reptile and seized it's tail in its mouth,
giving it a sharp bite. Then he quick
~ withdrew a few feet and, rolling
himself into a compact, spiny ball,
awaited developments. The snake
upon being thus rudely awakened
turned in fury upon his antagonist,
striking the hog again and again with
its fangs. The willy hedgehog, secure
ly 1ntrenched within It's spiny armor,
remained perfectly motionless all the
while, allowing the snake to keep up
the attack. At every stroke the jaws
Of the snake would become filled with
the spines until at last, exhausted and
bleeding from dozens Of wounds caus-
ed by the needlelike spines Of the hog,
the snake gave up the battle. This
was evidently what the hedgehog was
waiting for, as he Immediately proceed
ed to roll over the snake again and
again until he had completely disem-
boweled his victim"

EARLY Chrt.t1an curstne..

Cursing, it may be observed, contin-
ued in full vigor in Christian times, Of
ten harmonizing Ill with our modern
notions Of Christianity. Some are al
most horrible in their ferocity, as when
the violator Of the tomb is told that
'he will be accused of God forever
or that che will give account to God,
who will Judge the quick and the
dead" There is one which perhaps
will rather provoke a smile. The Of

Of all the fathers Of the Nicene coun-

The Gold Fever.

When, many years ago, gold was
first discovered in Australia the ex-
element caused has probably eve
been equaled in history. Offices were
deserted, ships We're left to rot at an
Choir by their crews, the prisons were
left %unguarded by the wardens, the
streets unpatrolled by the police. Men
in high official positions had to act as
"boots" and grooms for themselves.
In Geelong there was left only one
servitor. He had lost his wooden leg
and could not comfortably decamp.
Everybody was gold hungry. Men
slept in open streets, in tubs and
boxes, in tents and bare of cover en-
tirely. Convicts robbed and slaughter
ed. Hulks were bursting with their
loads Of prisoners. 1t was rather q
bad time while it lasted.
