oNE-SlDEp DEVELOPMENT.

The habit Of using the right hand in pre-
ference to the left among those people whose
monuments date from the remotest anti
guilty appears to be universal fact, and
this is accounted for by the anatomical me>
chanism of the human body. It is known
that the right lung, liver>lobe, and limbs
exceed in size those Of the lett side, involv-
ing, OF course. greater amount Of tissue
structure and larger supply Of nerves and
blood vessels for their nutrition. A person
walking in dense fog figures with his feet
the segment OF a circle, and, if he is right
handed. he takes direction to the left, be-
cause the right leg naturally takes longer
stride. The left side Of the brain is larger
than the right, and, as it appears that the
power Of verbal articulation in the right
handed is confined to certain convolution
on the left side, the conclusion is arrived
at that, in speaking and thinking, the left
side OF the brain is used, this being the re-
suit OF dextral education. The opinion has
also been expressed by some medical writer's
that amnesia and ahasia in right-handed
men indicate disease of the left brain, and
that hammer palsy and writer's cramp
show the results of excessive working of the
left brain.

PHOTOGRAPHY VS.. PAINTING.

In his able work on '.The Chemistry Of
Light and Photography, Dr.. Hermann
Vogel advances view with regard to the
comparative fidelity Of photographs and
paintings, which is quite opposed to the
opinion generally prevailing. To quote his
own words 1T NAV, perhaps, excite sur
prise that.the writer ascribes greater trnth
to painting than the photography, which is
generally regarded as the truest Of all meth
DDS of producing pictures. It must be self
evident that this remark can be made only
Of the works Of masters. 80. The pic
ture Of the photographer is not self created.
He must test, weigh, consider, and remove
the difficulties which oppose the production
Of true picture. If his picture is 10 be
true he must take care that the characters.
tic is made prominent and the accessories
subordinate, 10 do this he must, Of
course be able to detect what is characteristic
and what accessory in the original. The SEN
sitive plate Of iodine Of silver cannot do this
it receives the impression of all that it has
before it, according to Interchangeable laws.
I The photographer will not, in
deed, be able to control his matter, like the
painter; for the disinclinations Of models
and optical and chemical difficulties often
Illustrate his best endeavors; hence there
must always be 9 difference between photo
graphy and work Of art. This difference
may be briefly summoned-up by saying that
photography gives a more faithful picture
of the form, and art more faithful picture
Of the character"
The truth Of this statement will be recog-
nized blythe many who find it difficult or
impossible to securea just likeness OF them-
selves by the art Of photography. The pic-
ture must be true, it is commended, because
the sensitive plate in the camera takes an
exact representation Of the image before it;
yet that the likeness is more unsatisfactory
is felt by the original, and so declared by
every friend. Photography has singular
aptitude for ezaggerating defects, not one
OF which, in the face or form of the sitter,
escapes its searching scrutiny. 1t will, also
! by an unaccountable exh ibition Of fayorit>
ism, oftentimes SO fiatter the features Of a
subject rs to render handsome portrait OF
really homely individual. Such tendencies
to deception must a., DR.. Vogel says
be overcome by the skill VI the photographer
wh0should be not only al artisan, but an
artist, capable Of reading the character Of
his subjects and Of compelling his chemicals
as the painter does his pencils and oils, to
render a faithful transcript Of the soul, us
well as of the body in which il i enshrined.

The Quality OF the Blood.

Upon the quality Of the blood depends, in
a great measure, the vigor and health Of the
body. II the blood is wanting in nutritious
properties, the muscles are sure to be weak

skin sallow and dry, the cheeks hollow, and
the eyes lusterless TO improve the quality
of the blood, stimulate digestion and assimi-
iation with Hostetter's Stomach BitterS.
Under the influence of this strengthening
cordial the body is efficiently nourished and
the flesh grows, in consequence, more
abundant, the muscles become more com.

The Bitters also free the blood from impur
