Several years ago, man who is now q
prominent lawyer at Bowling Green was a
proprietor and editor of a paper publish
ed at Toledo. He wrote, we believe, two
articles upon the subject Of hotel privies,
calling attention to their improper condi-
tion and the danger to life and health
from taking into the lungs the tetid atmos-
phere arising from them. A number OF
country newspapers, conducted by young
men, contained paragraphs jeering and
sneering at the writer. They were exceed.
ingly nice and fasiidious young men, who
had never Smelt anything more offensive
than otter OF roses. friend in convers-
ing at that time with him, who then was
and now is the veteran editor Of the North
west, upon this subject, he remarked they
were excellent articles; the best he had
observed in the paper and calculated to do
good he was very glad attention had been
called to the subject. Their effects would
be to promote the public welfare by pro-
tecting the public health. and that purity
and comfort would be enhanced by obsery-
ing cleanliness and the avoidance Of loath-
some stenehes. All sensible men will con

arms Of an impecuuiou4 but loving young
man in the yard. Old Moneypouch yelIs

"Oh, pa, wipe OFF your chin :"
81 will not wipe off my chin No,

stern parent.
"Then pull down your vest, Pa, do"
responds the loving daughter.
"Ungrateful hussy! How can I pull
down my vest? Don't you sec I'm in

parent.
"Ah we have erred Give us ihy

man now puts in, and he and the young
woman flop down on their knees in the

his hands beneyolently. az will boost

ONE SIDED DEVELOPMENT. - Tho
habit Of using the right hand in prefer
ence to the left, among those people
whose monuments date from the remot-
est antiquity, appears to be universal
fact, and this is accounted for by the
anatomical mechanism Of the human bo-
dy. 1t is known that the right lung, liv-
er lobe and limbs exceed in size those of
the left side, involving, of course, great
er amount oftissuo structure and larger
supply Of nerves and blood vessels for
their nutrition. A person walking in Il
dense fog figures with his feet the seq
ment Of circle, and if he is right hand
cd he takes a direction to the left, be-
cause the right leg naturally takes a long
stride. The loft side Of the brain is larger
than the night, and as it appears that the
power OF verbal articulation in the ripht-
handed Is confined to q certain eonvolu-
tion on the left side, the conclusion is ar
rived at that, in speaking and thinking.
the left side Of the brain Is used, this be.
ing the result OF dextral education. The
opinion has also been expressed by some
medical writer's that amnesia and aspha-
aia in riaAt-haIael man indicate dis
ease Of the left brain, and that hammer
palsy and writer's cramp show the re-
suits Of excessive working Of tho left
