CUNNING OF THE LEFT HAND. ao of the AdTs Pmm or . th AaUttitnu. 'Ambidextrous men and women, or theme who can me either right or left hand with equal facility, are not near ly ao frequently met with aa might at firat be supposed; in fact, they are quite rare. This double faculty is, how ever, much more frequently met with among butchers and sailors than in any other walks of life. Lef trhanded butch ers are numerc to, as a walk through any of our large market houses will quickly demonstrate, but it is a very interesting study to watch any of them who will cut, chop, saw and handle his meats withoa;nce changing it from one side to the other on the block or chang ing his own position. In view of the many advantages de rived from the ability to use both hands equally well, many people have often expressed surprise at the action of ed ucational authorities in insisting on the use of only the right hand, instead of trying to develop an equal skill in the other. They all stick to the rightrhand od idea, however, and an old resident of Frankford, noted for his ambidextrous ness, is still mourning the loss of a prize at school through the use of his left hand in writing, although he was equal ly skillful as a penman with his right. The benefits derived from the use of both hands were excellently illus trated in the experience of two car penters who lived In Frankford some years ago. Their names were Cross and Walton, and the former was right-handed, the latter left-handed. As one was also very tall and the other very short, they made a curious couple, but they always worked together laying floors and putting up joiners' work in build ings. They could take jobs of this character cheaper than any other, because they could work from either end toward each other so handily. Cross would square a floor board at one end and Walton would "scribe" and cut it off to fit at the other end and then nail down, working together from opposite ends. Left-handed machinists are always at a disadvantage, as machinery is in variably adapted to people who work right-handed, but the ambidextrous man or woman is always at home in whatever work is undertaken. -Philadelphia Eecord. WOMEN ON FARMS. Exteat of tho Help Which New ( u land Wires Give. F The women are true helpmeets. Not only do they do their own work, but they are able and willing to milk the cows and assist with the hay-getting and in other ways lend a hand out of doors in emergencies. Some of them even eke out the family income by little ventures of their own, such as raising hens and bees and gathering and mar keting spruce gum, beechnuts and blue berries. There is no servant-girl prob lem, because there are no servants. When sickness or some other real disa bility necessitates female help in the household a neighbor's daughter is called in. She is, of course, regarded, and in every minutest particular treat ed, as a member of the family; it could not be otherwise. The children are trained to bear their share of the family burden, so far as it can be done with out interfering with their schooling, and the very school terms are arranged with a view to conflicting as little as possible with farm work. When the children grow up many of them go out into the world to seek their for . tunes (that, within reasonable limits, is a law of nature), but there is nothing like an exodus of the rising generation, no approach to a depletion. Plenty of ambitious, vigorous young men stny behind to arrange themselves in life ns their fathers did before them, chop ping in the woods winters and tilliug the few acres they have been able to purchnfie with their winters' savings summers. Furthermore, there nre plenty of dcxirable young women happy and proud to cast their lot in with the young men and do their share of the drudgery necessary to establishing a home. Thus new farms are cleared out of the woodland and the old farms are kept up. Atlantic. IJAU. , . ONE ON HIM. Am Order That He Had Neglected to Obey. "I had a queer experience with a gripman on a Mount Auburn calble car this morning," said a Fifth street eigar dealer to a Cincinnati Tribune man. "You know there is a sign in the car which reads: 'Don't put your feet on the seats,' or something to that effect. Probably they were afraid that you would scratch your shoes on the rough seats. Anyhow, the sign's there. "On the car there wus but one other passenger, evidently a friend of the gripman. He was sitting in the seat next to the ofliciial, and the two enjoyed a long and unlinated discussion con cerning the system of transfers soon to go into operation over the nsw exten sion of the Oak street line. In a careless way 1 had placed my foot upon the seat, or rather my toe was against the edge, but in no dun per of harming the wood work. The gripman reached' over and in an authoritative tone said: '"YnusinuMttake yer feet off the seat. See the sign? Them's our orders from headquarters, and we must obey them.' " 'Is that eo?1 said I. 'Do you obey all the orders that are given out?' " 'Sure,' said he. " 'Whst's that order up there 7" said I. "'Which r said be. " 'That one that says: "Don't talk to the gripman." You have been talk ing to your friend for 15 minutes and never once told him to stop talking to you.' "He looked dated for half a minute, and then said: " That's one on m, partner.

Every bottle gntraoteed, SOME SALADS. Direction for Making a Few Which Are Good. The making of salads is a fine art, and one in which the artist can find the widest field for his fancy. In large establishments the making of salads does not devolve upon the cook, but it should form e pert of the reper toire of every good one, and is a neces sary part of the culinary education of every housekeeper. The range of materials from which salads can be made is great, as they are made from fruite, vegetables, meats and fish. , As the soup is intended to stimulate the appetite at the commencement of a dinner, so is a salad intended to spur it on while the dinner is in progress and the appetite flagging after the hard at tack which has just been made upon the roast or other loading dish. Salads are of two generul kinds, the hot and the cold, but the former have almost gone out of vogue, as they do not perform their intended fuiictionsas perfectly as do cold salads. The base of all salads is the dressing, whioh. can be used on any of the many salad fillers. The most popular and sci entific is the mayonnaise, but it resem bles the olive, in that one has to acquire a taste for it, it properly made; but once acquired, one will eat no other. It takes two persons to make a good mayonnaise, and the one who is to do the stirring should have a strong ami. Put the yolk of two large eggs in a bowl, put three half-pints of best Span ish olive oil in a filtering hopper, with the tube corked to let the oil escupe drop by drop into the dish. Begin to stir with a hard wooden spoon as soon as the oil begins to drop into the dish, and never stop until the oil is all incor porated with the egg. The second per son should put iu at intervals, drop by drop, tarragon vinegar to tasite. but use the vinegar sparingly; also a little salt, pepper and mustard, but these latter must be used in the proper quantities to suit the taste of the party you are to serve. If the above operation has been care fully done you will have a good salad dressing. It can be used as it is, or to give flavor to a.ny of the many home made dressings that many people pre fer. The "French dressing," whioh is much used in summer to dress fresh vegetable salads, is a good, one, and easily made, being mnde as used. Sim ply combine salad oil, vinegar, mustard, pepper, salt and a little celeiry powder to suit your taste, or that of the party served. For spring and summer the green and vegetable salads should be used. A good, well blanched lettuce makes the most relishable of all for a warm day. When the lettuce comeB, pick apart, sav ing the green leaves. Throw all in ice water until brittle. Take out, drain and wipe perfectly dry on soft towels. Put on ice until wanted. When ready to serve, line the salad dish with 'the nicest of the green leaves. The mayonnaise being ice cold should be poured in a shallow dish. Dip each blanched leaf in the dressing, and heop in the center of the dish, pouring over all what dressing remains. Cut thinly sliced red beets into inch size stars, and lay a row around on top, one inch from edge. In the center put finely chopped hard boiled egs, and serve. The most dainty salad for a hidiea' luncheon, or a ten, is made from aspara gus tips. Rit.lu r fresh or canned aspar agus ran le used. Cook un.til tender, but do not l't. it get mushy. Drain, and when cold put on the ice to pet hard. Melt oiip tablesfioonful of butter to oil, put in the same Viitnvtity of tanrngon and cider vineg-nr, half a teaspoonful of salt, a dash of white pepper, and n table spoonful of French made mustard Heat until quite thin. The n-'-parnRus tips from the ice should be dipped into this, Innd al lowed to drain. Lot an inch at the butt end of eiu'li tip remain free from dress ing. When the dressing hardens on the tis, put ugnin on the ice until wanted, When ready to serve, cut inch strips of white jmper, pud with flour pante cover the but.t-ends with them, so they can be handled without soiling a glove. Serve the tips criss-cross fashion, piled on a square plate. Should the dressing not lmrdrn properly on a trial tip, increase the quantity of butteir. Washington Home Magazine. Hard StorT In Maine. An amusing incident occurred in a lunch room in this city a few days ago The proprietor was out for a few min- utes, leaving the lunch counterincharge of a boy. Several customers were eat ing various kinds of food, and two strangers entered. They evidently mis took the nature of the place us badly as the boy appealed to mistake their meaning.

Many years ago, in the days of her radiant beauty, her imperial majesty, Empress Elizabeth, of Austria, sat for her portrait to Schrotzberg, a fashion able Viennese artist. The picture, says Munseys, was painted at the request of the empress' royal cousin, Ludvrig II. of Bavaria, and was destined to grace the walls of his gallery of beautiful women in Alunich. The artist recog nized the importance of his commis sion, and gave to the canvas all the skill of his genius, which, in the matter of color, had no equal in Germany. The robe of the empress was of imperial purple, of so marvelous a tint and so wonderfully painted that it dimmed even the charm of the sovereign lady's matchless beauty. Artists tried in vain to imitate it, pens to describe it, and in time it came to be known as the "historical lilac." In the ballrooms of Vienna a tint bearing the name of Kaiserilla is in vogue, which is as near the shade of purple in which Schrotzberg clothed his beautiful empress as looms and pig ments can make it. In this country lilac has long been considered a color for the middle-aged women, but now young girls are taking a great fancy to it, and the coming summer we are told will see it a reigning tint. Max Nordeau may be right in the theory that devotion to violet is one of the surest signs of de generacy, but the stylish woman of to day would much prefer to be called "degenerate" than "unstylish." A COUNTRY OF SURPRISES. Coal, Least, Sliver nd Tl in Sooth Africa. While there is little tloubt that with proper development of i agricultural awl pastoral resources South Africa could be made practically self-eupport-ing, the successful development of these industries depends nevertheless upon the creation of local markets through tlie stimulus given by mining opera tions, says the North American Koview. VVit.h tlws exception of nihung of gold, diamonds and coal there have been no considerable exploitations of its min eral resources. ConJ fortunately ex ists in many purls of the country, ami it has been estimated that the known coal fields represent an area of 56,000 square miles, which is equal in extent to the state of Iowa. There exist in boiii.j part of the country large deposits of iron contiguous to the cool fields. But as yet the economic conditions have not favored the development of that in dustry. Lead, silver, cinnabar, tin and other metals are also found in many parts of the country, but have not been remuneratively worked. Among the mining countries of South Africa the Transvaal is facile princeps, and is in ull probability destined to maintain it arnmouut position, though, aa is well nown, South Africa is "a country of iii-prises," and it is possible, of course, hough not prolxible, that within its irreat extent other equally important iuitricU may lie discovered. IV V r I I S The little Dutch boy who slopped the leak in the dike with his finger saved his country from over whelming destruc tion. You have read about him in your school realtors, how he was walking along the dike when he heard a faint sound of trickling water, and knew at once that a leak had sprung in that great embank ment which saves Holland from the devas tations of the hungry sea. It was early in the night, and no one was near at hand. The leak was small when he found it, but he knew that the action of the water would enlarge it long before morning, and wash sway the entire embankment, inundate the country and destroy his own and thou sands of homes. So he bravely put his finger in the crevasse, and kept it there all the long night through, until help came and the opening was properly stopped. He had baved his country. Kqually insignificant is the entrance of disease into the human system. The be ginnings of the most terrible ailments are so small they can be easily stopped at the start. Your health is a dike which keeps out and stops the inroads of dangerous and devastating disease. Whenever it breaks down, no matter how slightly, there is uu opening for disease to enter. If the open ing is not watched, it wilt grow larger, Until the sweep of disease overwhelms you, and health and perhaps life is de stroyed forever. Fortify your health with Dr. Tierce'r Golden Medical Discovery, and you can defy ill health.
