The Education Of the Hand.

People. with few unfortunate excep>
tons, have each two hands. We should
not mention this fact, were it not thatin
the education of youth, only one seems to
be generally considered. Children are
told to hold their knives in their right
hand when cutting their food, and when
the necessary operation is completed, to
lay it down and use their forks while eat
ing, still employing the right hand. The
only further instructions they receive in
regard to the left hand, is to keep it clean
in common with the right hand, and not
to get into the habit Of thrusting it into
their pockets. They arc taught that
whenever one hand only is required, the
preference is to be given to the right.
Thus the left hand is, with the large ma
jority of people, comparatively useless
member, employed only to supplement the
other in oil manual operations. Without
pausing to inquire into the origin Of this
senseless custom, it is sufficient for our
purpose to say that it has no foundation in
the anatomy of the hand, or in any mats
ural peculiarly of the human mind. As
well might we teach children to hop about
on the right foot, to keep the left eye
closed, and to stop the left ear with cotton
as to teach them to magnify the value Of
the right hand at the expense of the left.
Nor, in renouncing this absurdity, would
it be necessary, to the late, existing social
conventionalities. The fork may be held
in the right hand while eating, and the
knife may take its place in cutting food.
These are small matters, observed only for
conventional reasons. What excuse can
there be for neglecting the early and care
full instruction Of both hands? We are
not speaking Of an impracticable thing
when we say it is impossible to rear chill
dren so that whatever one hand can do,
the other may do equally well. We know
this has been accomplished in many nota-
BILE instances, where the disability of the
left hand has been rectifed, in spite Of all
obstacles arising from bad habits acquired
in childhood. We have seen surgeons
transfer an instrument from one hand to
the other during TN operation, whenever
convenience required it, without the least
awkwardness. We have seen craftsmen
using both hands in coloring drawings. an
immense advantage, both to rapidity of
work and evenness of shading. We have
seen woodmen chop timber right or left
handed, ard one carpenter who used to
hammer or saw with either hand with
nearly equal facility. In all these ckses
the use Of the left hand in common with
the right, gave very much greater eficien,

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
thinks shorts fed to cows make more milk
than clear meal, and that ground oats are
better than either, but corn meal and
shorts mixed make richer milk. He has
tried potatoes with moderate success. OF
all the roots he has tried, he thinks sugar
beets are the best. After trying pump
kins fairly, he could see no increase of milk
from their use, but believes it was little
richer.

An old Fallacy Explode d

Thirty OF forty years ago, 1t was the
fashion to administer powerful purgatives
as "spring medicine" Terrific doses of
salts and senna, calomel ana jalap, or
glauber salts were given to all the mem
bers OF a family, whe her sick or well,
by way Of preparing them for the warm
weather in prospect. This pernicious
custom 10 nearly obsolete, but there are
some old Bourbons of private life incspa-
BILE alike of forgetting anything or learn
ing anything, who obstin ateiy cling to it
still. Nothing could b more pernicious,
more utterly Guphilosophical, than such
an onslaught ON the vigor and ella ici'y of
the system. In order to enable the phvs
