Training the Left Hand.

1t is one of the good signs of the
times that the use of the left hand
is coming into fashion in education.
Our children, let us hope, are not to
be forever crippled by being brought
up "one-handed." We are learning at
last the absurdity of allowing one Of
our hands to fall into practical disuse,
and the excellent names behind the
newly formed Ambidextral Culture So
ciety give ground for hope that COM
mon sense may prevail on the subject
and lead to the development Of two
handed instead Of one-handed race.
The founder and secretary of the soci-
ETY., Mr.. John Jackson, has embodied
his philosopy in a highly interesting
book on 'Ambidexterity; or, Two
Handedness and Two-Brainedness," to
which Major r. 8. S. Baden Powell
contributes an introduction. The
Major. like the late Queen Victoria.
can write with either hand and use
the two hands INTERCHANGEABLE for any
purpose. That of course is all that
is demanded.-London Mail.

The Magnetism Of a sunshiny Nature

The Magnetism Of a sunshiny Nature
Enthusiasm in life is the great gen
orator Of sunshine. Without a living
interest in the busy world, and that
sympathy of feeling which connects
us with every other living being, we
can not infuse any warmth into our
manners, or bring others into SYM
pathy with us. Helen Keller, whose
sunshiny soul is as sensitive to i'm
pressions as a delicate flower is to
atmosphere, In her "Story of My Life,"
writes: 1.-THE touch OF hand may
seem as impertinence, while that OF
another is like benediction. I have
met people so empty of joy that, when
l clasped their frosty finger tips, 1t
seemed as if were shaking hands
with a northeast storm. Others there
are whose fingers have sunbeams in
them; their grasp warns my heart"
1t is as natural for us to be attract
ed toward sunshiny natures as 1t is
for flowers to turn toward the sun.
In spite of life of almost constant
illness, Robert Louis Stevenson
charmed all who came under his in
f1uence by his spontaneous cheerful
ness and absolute freedom from all
shadow of bitterness OF repining. He
found the keynote of each day in this
simple prayer. born of his own inspi-
ration: 1.-THE day returns and brings
us the petty round of irritating con-
oorpr oud dr,fioa HalD uS IN NAV the
man, help us to perform them with
laughter and kind faces, let cheerful
ness abound with industry. Give us
help to BIO blithely on our business all
this day, bring US to our resting beds
weary and content and undiscovered,
and grant US in the end the gift Of
sleep."-Duccess.

ency to become rancid is unsuitable

ency to become rancid is unsuitable
for the dyspeptic patieEt.
Perhaps the most important differ
ences, however, from dietetic point
of view between beef and turkey is
that whereas beef contains high per-
centage of extractiye matters turkey
contains hardly any at all. The ex-
tractive matters in beef account large
ly for its peculiar and marked flavor,
and owing to their absence in poultry
generally and in the pheasant and
partridge the flavor of these meats Is
delicate. But there is no doubt that
the extractives of beef as well as Of
mutton are valuable, for not only are
they flavoring agents but they also
act as, perhaps, the most powerful
stimulants to gastric digestion.

SOAP TREE OF ALGERIA.
Many Chemists Produce From It Arti-
cIes for Toilet Purposes.

Many Chemists Produce From It Arti-
cIes for Toilet Purposes.
The Sapindus utilis or soap tree"
was introduced into Algeria in 1S45.
The soap tree in Algeria appears to
be a hybrid and has characteristics
quite different from those of any Of
the known varieties coming from In
dia, Japan, China and Central Amer
lea, and it is superior to all in gen.
eral usefulness.
The Sapindus utilis is large tree
with smooth, straight trunk. The
plants reach to about ten feet in
height in two years and begin to bear
in six years. The berry is round, but
with distinct keel like that of wal
nut encirctng it. It is when fresh
smooth, shiny and feshy. When
dried it is tough, gummy and trans
lucid; the color varies from yellow
ish green to brown. In size it varies
from about half an inch to an inch in
diameter.
So far the cultivation of this tree
in Algeria has been confined to the
low-lying lands near the coast (the
orange belt), but it is believed that
it would endure more severe eli
mate. The only large plantation OF
these trees is that of M. Bertrand at
his property Nof Boukandoura. about
eighteen miles from Algiers, covering
some hundred and fifty acres.
There are no important manufac-
lures of soap tree products in Algeria.
The entire product of the plantation
referred to above went last year to
Germany. A good deal of the fruit
is employed in its natural state, and
many chemists produce specialties
from it, such as "saponine," an excel
lent washing powder; "sapindine, a
reputed hair wash, and other articles
for toilet purposes. Panama wood,
which is extensively used in Europe
for washing, contains ON an average
about per cent of saponine, while
the dried fruit Of the soap tree con-
tains fully 20 per cent-Report OF U.

ABOUT OLD PEWTER.

Collectors will find much of interest
in series of papers by N. Hudson
Moore, in The Dellneator, opening
with the topic "Old Pewter" Therein
we are told that, although pewter
probably was brought to America
with Henry Hudson in the Half Moon,
the first public record of it appears
in 1888, when Director-General Wou-
ter Van Twiller of Manhattan, after
erecting great brewery-one of his
first acts-relates that s'his colonists
were never so happy as when drain
ing their huge pewter tankards."
However little pewter is regarded to-
day, in colonial times 1t was one Of
the most important household items.
We learn from Mrs. Moore that
when the widow Coytemore married
John Winthrop in the Massachusetts,
colony, she brought him household
STUFF valued at GAO pounds, her share
of her first husbands estate. The in
ventory was long. and among its
items is one Of 1875 pounds worth of
pewter" and "as late as 1850 a COM
plete outfit of pewter plates, dishes
and spoons was considered lordly
wedding gift" The lead contained In
pewter made it especially valuable in
revolutionary days for making bullets,
and we are told that Gin 1777 Madam
Smith, wife Of the minister at Sharon,
Conn.,, invited all her friends, and
neighbors to come to spend the eve
ming with her, and to bring every
pewter article with them which they
could possibly spare. Before the
evening had passed several gallons of
good bullets had been cheerfully run
through bullet-molds,' the good ladies
sacrificing without pang the much
priced pewter"

FASHION HINTS.

Although an amazing amount Of
material is needed for the fashionable
gown. the fashions are rather favor
able for those of us who make over
our clothes.
The fashion of trimmings hats with
several varieties of flowers is hard
to grow enthusiastic over. One little
hat of the poke bonnet order was
trimmed around the brim with pan
sizes. rosebuds, lilacs, cowslips, and
green leaves.
