GINGERSNAPS KILL COWS.
A*rA of MarylnnA Bovine* Mnk« ■
Midnight Raid on the Sweet* and
All Die a* a Result.
Edward M. Gillet, of Venora, Baltimore
county, Md., has lost $2,750 worth of prize
;attle because of their inordinate ap
petite for aged ginger snaps, mixed and
rruit caues. uneven oi nis nne nerci or
Hereford cows died after a too free In- j
flulgence In the American delicacies men- ;
Honed. He valued the cows at $250 each.
Mr. Glllet, like many farmers of the coun
ty, has been In the habit of buying these
cakes by the ton and feeding them to his
cattle and hogs in small quantities. Sat
urday night the bar door was left open
and 11 of his cows got Into the building
and ate ginger snaps and cakes till they
could eat no more. Dr. Dickenson Gor
such, of Glencoe, was called in, but he
could do nothing to relieve them. First
one and then another would fall to the
ground and die. Dr. Gorsuch said death
was caused by the large quantity of the
cakes eaten. They being in a dry Btate,
caused the cows to drink freely of water,,
with fatal results.
Still of Some TT«e.
In some parts of Switzerland they
have laws which make It necessary to
have horses hitched to automobiles so
that other horses will not be fright
ened by them. The horse still has his
uses.
BOXING IN GREAT BRITAIN.
Boula Between Professionals Art
Bore Ceremonial Than
iu America.
“Boxing Is well conducted in Eng
land,” said an American just home
from the British isles. “Clubs must
comply with the law, which is strict
in regard to having plenty of exits in
case of fire or panic.
"Good shows are given to which the
admission is from 12 to 37^ cents, our
money, for the best seats. The bouts
begin early and last often until after
midnight, the clubs giving their pa
trons the full worth of their money.
The bouts are ten rounds or over.
“The style of boxing is slow as com
pared with that seen in this country.
The English hoxer takes his time wait- j
ing for a knockout blow, and some
times three or four rounds will go
without a blow being struck.
“When the men enter the ring the j
referee Introduces the fighters, first j
announcing the man’s name, tlieu
reading off his record. *Then the sec
onds are introduced, and finally the
timekeepers. The same process is
gone through on the other side of the
ring, Then the referee steps outside
the ring, where he sits on a chair
during the bout. He calls to the men
to break, and they are soon disqualified
and sent from the ring if they refuse
to obey instructions.
"On the opposite side of the ring
from the referee Is an umpire, who
acts as a sort of assistant referee,
looking out for any infractions of the
rules on his side of the ring.
vvuen a man is Knocseu aown ms
opponent Is sent to the corner and not
allowed to stand over him waiting for
a chance to knock him down again as
■oon as he gets to his feet This is in
accordance with a strict interpretation
of the Queensberry rules, and is in
marked contrast with the practice
usually adopted in contests in this
country.”
LEFT-HANDED PEOPLE.
More Numerous AnirniK tlie Criminal
CIusm Than Viuouk Honest Men,
Says l>r. IjUinbrnao.
—
It has been generally understood that ■
It Is a misfortune to be left-handed, but
few of us are ready to be told that the
disqualification is a moral one. The
peasantry of northern Italy have been
accustomed, however, to use the phrase
to describe untrustworthiness and, ac
cording to their distinguished country
man, Dr. Cesare Lombroso, they have
only blundered In their popular speech
Into one of the latest of his own scien
tific discoveries, says the London Globe.
Aft Dr. Lombroso puts the case, we may,
with a good deal of safety, assume that
a left-handed man will be a bad man.
There is a much larger percentage of
people who are not right-handed among
criminals than among honest men; and
If our investigator's figures are to be
trusted, left-handed women are In yet
more evil case. Swindlers are asserted
to show the largest proportion of left
handedness among admitted criminal
It would be curious to inquire whether
there are other races besides the Lom
bards and Tuscans in ■which the excep
tional proneness of left-handed persons
to vice has passed into a proverb. One
would certainly desire evidence from a
wider induction of facts than seem to
be yet available before accepting Dr.
Lombroso’s startling generalization.
