MANS WEAKER HALF.
One Side of His Body Always Stronger
 Than the Other

The popular belief is that the left side is weaker than the right, and. as in all popular beliefs, there is much truth in this. In most cases, says the Grand Magazine, the right arm is de cidedly stronger than the left, the bones are larger and the muscles more vigorous
 When we come to consider the lower limbs, however, we find a precisely op- posite state of affairs; the left leg is stronger than the right in the great majority of cases. This want of sym metry is noticeable all through the body. Nine times out of ten we see better with one eye than with the oth- CT and hear better with the left than with the right ear, or vice versa.
 Not only so, an injury to the body-a burn or cut, for instance-causes more pain on one side than 1t would were it inflicted on the other. Even diseases attack one side on their first onset in preference to the other. Ecze- ma, varicose veins, sciatica and even tuberculosis begin invariably to mani$ AOSS SACh1oOAfCS OA OUE WcdkSE SIU0s A blistering plaster, too, will provoke an eruption only if applied to the right side in certain individuals; in others, only if applied to the left side.
 The simplest way, apparently, of dis covering which is our weaker side is to observe which side we lie upon by preference when in bed, as it is cer- tain that we will instinctively adopt the attitude which is most agreeable or, rather, which causes the least in- convenience. In other words, we will lie upon the side the muscles of which being more vigorous, are less sensible to the pressure upon them of the weight of the body.
 Statistics and observation go to prove that in about three cases out of four it is the left side which is the weaker, thus giving reason to the popular die tum. Curiously enough, however, pneu- monia, 1t has been noticed, unlike most diseases, usually attacks at first the right-that is to say, the stronger-side of the body.

A BIRD OF GUIANA.

It Can Speak Every Language That
 It Once Hears.
 There is a bird of Guiana which de serves to be widely known. This is the "tion-tion' pronounced tee-yawn tee-yawn) on account of its cry. This bird is valued by the natives for it's brilliant plumage, especially the tail feathers, which they wear in their headdress and make clothing of, but the most interesting characteristic of this strange bird is its initiative fac ulty.
 A naturalist became acquainted with the birds powers in a curious man. her. He was awakened from his sleep one night by hearing cries of distress in French Some one was being mur- dered not far away. so much was ab- sOlutely certain. There were cries for mercy and help, uttered in excellent French, shriekS of agony and groans. Jumping to his feet he awoke his h. dian guides, saying that they must all go to the assistance of the victim. At that moment the voice uttered a shout of ironical laughter. followed by 'tiOn- tion." and the guides turned over. with a grunt of veXation. The learned natu- ralist had great deal to learn, they remarked sarcastically
 The tion-tion is the worst of chatter boxes. It can, and does, initiate every sound it hears. with the utmost fidelity. It can speak all languages. giving the proper accent and intonatiOn. This is strong statement, but it is correct It will shout for assistance in the best English or German. and you will really believe that some fellow cOuntryman is in dire distress until the bird inter- rupts it's own pleadings with a derisive laugh. Then you feel like one who has been the victim of a 1st of April joke If the bird could be caught and so far d0mesticated as to be happy in con- finement the parrot would go out of fashion as a home pet.

PORTABLE VILLAGES.
TurcOmans Move Their Houses From
 Place to Place.

Place to Place.
 The TurcomanS, who live on the east ern shore of the Caspian sea, carry their villages about with them when they travel. AS a tribe sets out on a journey every man packs his wooden house upon a camel, which the animal can easily carry, and when spot is reached where he and his friends in- tend to remain for any great length of time the catels are unloaded and a village started which it takes about an hour or so to build.
 It is to be remembered that the houses are real houses and not tents and that the settlement is not a camp, but a village. The travelling house of the Turcoman is marvel of skill and ingenuity and is really much lighter, more portable and can be packed into a much smaller compass than any of the so called portable houses that are manufactured and sold in some parts of our country.
 The frame Is made of strong, light wood laths about an inch broad by three-quarterS of an inch thick, cross ing each other when set up in position at right angles about foot apart and fastened at each crossing by the thongs of rawhide so as to be movable, and the whole framework may be opened CT shut in the same manner as those toys for children that consist of a fsquad of wooden soldiers and will eX- pand or close at will so as to form open or close columns.
 One part or more made in this way and all inclosing a circle fifteen or twenty feet across form the skeleton of the walls and are firmly secured in place by bands of ropes made of hair or wool fastened round the end of each rod. From the upper ends of these rods similar rods bent near the wall and into something less than a right angle are so disposed that the longer portions slope to the center and, being tied with rope, form the roof.
 Over this is thrown covering of black felt, having in the center large hole which answers both for window and a chimney. Large pieces of the same coarse black felt are wrapped round the walls, and outside these to keep all tight, is bound another frame of split reeds or canes or of some very light. tough wood bound closely togeth- CT with strong cords
