KEEP TO THE RIGHT.

In the Biological Society of Paris DIR. De
launey has recently communicated Il series
of Investigations he has made concerning
the curious Partially all civilized nations
show for the right side" We read and
write to the right, we turn to the right when
horseback: we like to have the wall TO the
right, when walking in an Enclosed room:
we deviate to the right from the straight
line when walking blindfolded, Ne. This
partiality, however, the doctor does not con-
slider rs mere incidental agreement, but AZ
Il natural instinct. 1t begins to show itself
when a child has reached the third year Of
age, and it does not leave man until he be-
comes debilitated by old age or insane. With
insane people the instinct is reversed: they
keep to the left, and in lunatic asylums il is
generally considered Il good symptom, an
of a return to the normal state,
when the partiality for the right side reap
pears with patient. Some of the applca-
lions which Mr.. Delauney makes OF this
instinct are rather fanciful, but Others are
very interesting. Thus, We do not doubt
that he is to some extent right when he as
serts that it has played a certain role i'll the

Not even the fainteSt curl of steam arises
from the tub. 1t is Il very pretty picture,
and perhEpS the unsophisticated young man
may think that it correctly represents the
manner in which the average washing is
done. But it is Il delusion and SNARE
The artist who drew it must have depended
wholly on his imagination. He should
have been 4 married man, and should have
sketche,l the picture from life. He should
have gone to dinner some day and found the

The thermometer stands at ninety in the

boiled, remind you of dried apples bleachcd.
Two of the children are making pancakes

The third one has got struck under the back
gate in an effort to crawl through. Just at
that moment a small dog begins making
faces at him, and the youngster, unable to
wiggle one way or the other, sets up a yell
which would put to blush a Comanche In
dian. AT the same instant one of the pan-
cake makers slaps a hatful of batter on
the head of his sister, and running to escape
the maternal slipper, which he coniectures
will be forthcoming, falls headforemost into
a tub of suds. The aforementioned young
sters time up and swell the chorus for the
soloist under the gate. But we drop the
curtain with simply the remark that at this
juncture the sketcher of washing machine
pictures should get his work i'll. y wood
cut of this scene from everyday life would
take the romance all out of the popular pie
lures of washing machines.
