A LEFT HAND writer In tho Scientific
American gives some reasons why 1t d
better to write as he docs. The hand d
never in tho way Of vision. The pen
point is always In plain sight, and SO Il
the paper to be written on. There Is
consequently, no inducement to stoop
forward or to turn the head 60 as to throw
the eye out OF focus. It Is a common
fault Of those who write much that the
left eye has a shorter range than the
right. II Is overwotked, and compelled
10 adapt itsell 10 nearer vision. In writ
ing with tho left hand these evils are
avoided. An upright posture Is the easi-
est, and the eyes are equally distant from
the paper.
