THE USE OF THE RIoHT HAND.-The
superior use of the right hand in the
affairs of life is the heritage of ages. There
are many operations that require the use
of but one hand and it seems but natural
that in the process of time that one should
have taken the lead in their performance,
and the tendency has been transmitted.
Children generally show disposition to
use the right hand more than the left. We
agree with you that we should be able to
use both hands with equal facility. Some
men do appear to be ambidexterous. There
are anatomists who claim that the
left hemisphere of the brain has controll-
ing influence in mental life, and for that
reason the right side of the body is more
exercised than the left. 1t is true that
one hemisphere is more exercised than the
other, and it is usually the left that DOM
mates, but both are essential to complete
ness and harmony of mental operations.

THE Discovery OF New CoMET-If
the great comet which has been OBJ
served in the southern hemisphere should
come north it would prove an interesting
and welcome addition to our celestial
visitants. Nc great comet has, however,
been expected this year. Halley's is not
due till 1911, Donati's, which appeared in
1858, will not return before the thirty
eighth century, and the great comet of
1861, which Sir John Herschel declared to
be the most brilliant he had ever seen,
not excepting those of 1911 and 1858,
will not return before the year 2200.
Of the few comets whose periods are short,
all are small and most of them can only be
seen in the telescope. The great comet,
therefore, that is reported to be "passlng
the sun northwards," will be an entire
stranger, and will doubtless receive from
astronomers and from the public the atten-
tion due to rare and distinguished visitors.

Mary E; Harrigan VS.. George MeGee-Argued an


A MEXICAN MUMMY. At the Hotel
Drouot, in Paris, there was sold by auction,
two weeks ago, an interesting piece of
archaeology in the shape of a mummy,
which proves to be that of prince Of the
ill-fated imperial family of Montezuma.
The body, inclosed in large crystal box,
was purchased for 2,375 francs by the
South Kensington Museum. The Monte
yuma in question was the uncle of the Illus
trious cacique of that name. Taken pris-
oner by the Spaniards, he was for many
months confined with his daughter in the
Mexican convent of San Isidro, and then
walled up in a cell by order of the inquisi-
tors. The body now presents the aspect of
dark, yellow, wooden statue. As it
stands in its glass case, one can understand
the terrible suffering which the poor old
man underwent in dying. The hands are
crossed and contracted, the cheeks hol-
lowed, the eyelids closed and wrinkled,
and the hair nearly all gone. The body of
the girl, who was about II years old, is in
perfect state Of preservation. Her face
is calm, and sweet smile seems to play
about her lips, in strange incongruity with
her horrible fate. The papers telling this
strange story are fully authenticated.

A BAD ARRANGEMENT New York
physician relates that one of his patients,
a child, had the the typhid fever, and
wanting drink of milk, with an invalid 5
petulance, insisted that his mother should
bring it to him. The latter complied, and
on opening the refrigerator was astonished
at the noisome odor which came from that
receptacle. On inquiry of the servants
she found that such smells were common.
Examination showed that the refrigerator
drained into the soil pipe, and that sewer
gas found its way freely into the part
where the food and milk were kept. This
IS a common arrangement in many city
houses, and should never be allowed.

WHY MILK VARIES IN QUALITY. of
the reasons why poor land produces milk
which, as compared with that produced on
good land, is deficient in fatty matters, and
so is better adopted for cheese-making than
for butter making, lies in the fact that the
grasses on it contain a larger proportion of
fesh-forming ingredients-as albumen, fibrin,
casein, gluten, etc.-and a smaller one of fat
forming ones-as starch, gum sugar, ETC.,
than are found in the grasses of rich land.
But another reason is found in the addi-
tional respiration of oxygen which takes
place in the animal economy when cows
are pastured on poor land, and have
to go through more exercise in the search
for food. The oxygen of the air, which
is inhaled to an increased extent by animals
who take an extra amount of exercise, has
direct tendency to consume the fat in the sys-
TEN of the animal-actual combustion of the
fat takes place. Hence the increased heat of
the animals body, and hence also dimin
ished amount of fat among the tissues, aud
diminished proportion of butter in the milk.
Again, the more exercise an animal takes,
the greater will be the waste or breaking up
of the tissues of the body and as this is the
source from which the curd in milk is derived,
milk produced on land whose heritage is
scanty will contain larger proportion of
curd than milk produced on land whose herb
age IS ABUNDANT. LII Will now be perceived
why it is that the milk produced on poor land
has larger proportion of curd and smaller
one of butter than that produced on good land;
it WILDE equally plain that the smaller the dis
lance cows have to travel to and from their
pastures, whether those pastures be rich or
poor land, the richer III fats their milk will
be and it will be even still more evident that
the faster they are made to travel that dis
lance the poorer their milk will be- Distance
and speed bring about greater inhalation of
oxygen, and the more oxygen that enters into
the system the greater will be the consump-
ton of fat in it. In the hot weather in sum-
mer when cows are tormented by flies and
by heat, the evenings milk will always be
found poorer than the mornings in butter.
This is explained on the same principle, and
so is the fact that the milk of Stalled cows
is richer in fats than the milk of cows who
roam at large on the pastures.
