Ambidextrous. Mm,
One of tho New York papers not
long ago had nn article on right and
left-handed people, or ambidexter, Jn
which Beveral remarkable instances of
persons possessing tliis faculty were
given. Strange to say, however, no
mention was made of Ben Lusby or
George Tiffany. Lusby is famous the
country over, and is known as tho
lightning ticket-seller, lie traveled
for many years with the largest cir
cuses, and received almost fabulous
pay, being as great a curiosity as anv
thing to be see in tho tents. Ho used
both hands in selling tickets, taking in
money, handing out tickets and making
change more rapidly with each than an
ordinary ticket seller could with both.
It was no unusual thing to see him se
lect six or tight full-prico and chil
dren's tickets, receive a $10 or $20 bill
and pick out and return tho change
. with one hand, while ho was selling
one or two tickets at a time and mak
ing change at the same time with the
other hand.
George Tiffany, who had always had
a large acquaintance with theatrical
and show people, and who was a friend
of Lusby, possessed the same faculty
to a considerable extent, and on several
occasions gave exhibitions to his friends
of his ability to imitate Lusby, having
probably practiced under his direction.
He was scarcely a fourth as rapid as
Lusby, but was acknowledged "in the
profession" to be, with the exception of
Lusby, the ony two-handed ticket-seller
In the world.
Instances of people who write and
make figures with both hands are by
no means rare. In tho old St. Louis
Democrat oflice, before the partnership
was dissolved, two accountants were
employed who, in posting the books,
generally made figures with one hand
and posted the items with the right. A
bookkeeper in one and a cashier in
another largo wholesale house in St.
Lonis now work in the same way, ami
a reporter on a morning paper writes
with either hand, and it is impossible
to distinguish any difference in the for
mation of the letters.
A more remarkable instance of dual
faculties than any mentioned is that of
a gentleman well known in St. Ltmis,
Mr. E. C. Lackland. Mr. Lackland
was for some time treasurer of the
Fair association, .and excited no little
attention and remark among those
who saw him using alternately either
hand in writing letters or messages.
The on-loukers were, however, still
more astonished to see him when in a
hurry grasp a pen or pencil and write
rapidly with both hands, and would
have been yet more amazed had they
known that the messages he was at
work on at the same time were ad
dressed to different people and entirely
different in character. "When not busy
enough to employ both hands, he gen
erally uses the left, but the character
of the chirography is tho same, and it
is doubtful if he himself knows the
difference. He does not seem to con
eider himself possessed of an unusual
gift or talent, and would, no doubt,
have been much amused had he heard
the remark made by an acquaintance,
who, after seeing him write two let
ters at once, coniidentially informed a
friend that he must have his brains
parted in the middle or be possessed of
two sets. The science of medicine
teaches that unusual mental strain or
activity correspondingly depresses the
system physically, but the rule evi
dently does not apply to Mr. Lackland.
A Type of Indian Territory Indians.
I trotted my pony along pretty
briskly, and in a half hour's ride over
took an Indian riding slowly along on
a mustang. I hailed him. " He was a
friendly one. All Indians in the Ter
ritory are friendly. They are warm
friends if you have a bottle of whisky
and a little money, and will never
leave you till the money and whisky
are gone. I found that he was going
to the " Big Spring," as he called it, or
Baxter Springs, in the southeastern
part of Kansas, the end of my journey.
He said the reason I had seen no one
was I had traveled between two
ranges of settlements all the way
Had I gone ten miles to the nortli'l
would have struck one of them. But
I was not sorry I had not. My com
panion could speak English very
plainly, and was very dirty and lazy.
He was a good typo of the in
habitants of the Territory. He was
clad in a gorgeous waistcoat of a Dis
raeli pattern, buttoned with brass
army buttons, and had a blanket fast
ened at the hips and wrapped around
his legs to the knees, while his feet
were covered with moccasins. He
said we were within two days' travel
of the springs, and that about one
hour before sunset we would striko off
from the trail and seek shelter for the
night among the Indian settlements.
So we traveled along, he being vrey
shy, I hardly knowing how to manage
him, till I thought of the whisky bot
tle. I presented it to him. There was
a change as if by magic. His tongue
was loosened and. there was no more
silence. He told me Indian stories and
I was regaled with Indian folk-lore.
He told mo that nine-tenths of the
people were against the opening of the
Territory to settlement, but tiiey did
not feel safe against it on account of
treaties so often broken. He said if it
did happen there was no telling where
it would end, for tho people would
surely rise against them, and they
would not rise unarmed or unskilled in
the use of arms. It was now near sun
set, and according to his promise we
branched off toward the settlement.
In the day's ride there had been a great
change in the country, for it assumed
features more like those of the State of
Missouri, but the climate was the same.
It was the mixture of plain, woodland
and bluff thrown together in wonderful
confusion. Now and then an Indian
cabin would peer out between the trees,
and often there would be quite a well
kept farm, but it was Indian farming
after all. At sunset we reached the
top of a bluff overlooking a pretty lit
tle stream that rippled along toward
the south, and, winding down the bluff
into the valley below, we reached the
settlement, where we were to stop for
the night. Correspondence of Boston

Why Egyptians Lack Patriot ism.
During my visit to Egypt some
seven or eight years ago there was
certainly no national feeling among
the Egyptians. Neither they nor
their ancestors for nearly two thou
sand years had known native rulers.
During all these long centuries they
had been tho spoil of Roman, Arab,
Turk and Mameluke in turn; from
none, since the Roman time, had they
received protection of life and prop
erty or any national benefits, and it
was impossible that patriotism should
exist among them, for there is no
patriotism save in a country wortli
loving. The conduct of the Egyptian
troops in the late Russian war is a
proof of this. The few battalions
1 saw in Egypt were line
looking troops weil armed, instruct
ed and equipped, with intelligent
faces and excellent physique ; yet they
proved utterly worthless, as it seems to
me. because they were destitute of that
pride which is inspired by patriotism ;
for them their tlag had "no meaning,
its honor was no concern of theirs.
Their conduct in Abyssinia and the
Soudan was siittilar. and no doubt from
the same cause. How can valor and
patriotism be expected from men whose
only knowledge of their government is
that derived from the tax-gatherer, the
bastinado and forced labor'? The
achievements of that great soldier,
Ibrahim 1'asha, are not in contradic
tion with this conclusion, because few
of his troops were Fellaheen. His
conquering armies were mainly com
posed of Arabs, Syrians, Nubians, Ar
nnuts in fact, of lighting men from
all tho neighboring parts of the East,
who were reduced to discipline by his
stern will and guided to victory by his
great military genius. General George
ii. McCMlan, in the Century.
Afraid of a Letter.
It was not long ago that I happened
to bo in a part of Central Africa
where no white man had been before.
I was separated from my companions
100 miles distant. War was raging
around me; the road was dillicult. I
wished to communicate with those
whom I had left behind. "Who will
return," I asked of the naked savages,
"to the white men and carry them
something from me?" Numbers vol
unteered, glad to earn a yard of cloth
for the job. A letter was written and
offered to a man, and he was told
that this piece of paper would inform my
friends of all that it would speak to
them. He dropped the letter on the
ground and ran away. Others were
tried, but it was useless. A great
crowd assembled, and at a safe distance
from the little bit of paper iluttering
on the ground. "It is medicine,"
they said. "It is charmed." In vain I
tried to reason them out of their terror.
None would touch it. "Will no one,"
I said, "keep it anil give it to the white
men as they pass tins way'?" A yell
of refusal and excited gesticulations
answered my request. "Then I shall
place it here in this tree," I said, mov
ing toward it, while the crowd dis
persed in flight, "and you can point it
out to the white men when they come."
Even this they refused to do. My
friends passed close under the tree, but
no one dared show them the charmed
tiling, and there it is probably to this
day, iluttering on the branch of that
stunted fig tree like an evil spirit, the
awe and terror of the tribe. . IS.

About Explosives.
Nitro-glycerine looks like oil. Work
men seeing it leaking from a box or
can have sometimes mistaken it for
sweet-oil, and have tried to nail the box
tighter with a hammer. This causes a
terrific explosion. The way in which
the blasting powders aro made Is by
taking some such substances as sand
or sawdust and mixing nitro-glycerine
with it. The most common of these
powders is " dynamite ;" it looks
much like moist brown sugar. Some
others are called "dualin," "rendrock,"
" mica-powder." The nitro-glycerine
soaked in tho sand or sawdust "can bo
carried about without spilling, and can
bo more safely handled. In the same
manner, if nitro-glycerine should bo
spilled upon wood or cloth and should
soak into the substance, there might bo
an, explosion if tho thing were after
ward struck or tossed about. When
ever one visits a quarry, or new rail
road, or any other place where blast
ing is going on, or any factory or es
tablishment where nitro-glycerine or
blasting powder might be made or
kept, it is well to be careful about med
dling with any yellowish-looking oil or
any oily-looking powder. Christian
