a glimpse over their shoulders OF the hero

came bewldered. Relentlessly he led her on
to where the devil was taking proofs. and
showed her few original proofs until her
blood boiled. Still. without mercy, he took
her to where men were reading those proofs
in the corner, with the boys who were holding
the copy, the only ones who could
sleep amid the din Of telegraph clicking and
the hury-burly of the street withOut-men, lust
as human as any other mOrtals: then despite
her pleadings. back to the editorial table where

ANBIDEXTERITY.
The Manifold Advantages of the Dou-
bic System.

The late Charles Reade wrote essay after essay
on the subject OF ambidexterity until the critics
began to accuse him Of being monOmaniac on
this subject. SAYS the New Orleans Times Demo
crdt. Why. Reade asked, should we teach chill
dren to use only one hand? Why not allow
them to use both equally. as they naturally
would if they were not taught to employ the
right alone? The left is fully as good, with the
same strength cunning and ability. A man can
strike as well with it, and write as we'll It
would certainly seem to be to his interest to
possess full control OF both. and full power to
use them, since it would enable him to do twice
rs much as under the present system. Often in
writing ones hand grows tired We're amb-
dexterity taught you need simply transfer the
Pen to the other hand until you were rested
and thus you could keep on writing forever
without fatigue. And as in writing. so would
it be in every other line of business requiring
manual work.
AnibdeXterity is now being taught in nearly
all the commercial colleges. 1T is found of great
value to clerks and ookkeepers. and it is easily
learned 1t is only of late years that this new
and somewhat curious study was introduced
but it Is progressing rapidly in favor. and more
are engaged in it now than ever before.
There was an idea once that it was difficult to
write with the left hand. and that the action of
the muscles for the formation of script charac-
tiers was natural to the right alone but this
absurd idea has long since been exploded
The advantages of this double system are
many. 1t prevents fatigue, and in case of an
accident or injury to your right arm you can
always drop back on the other one
There are said to be thousands of ambidex-
trous persons in this country. Both Presidents
Jefferson and Garfield could write equally well
with either hand But the number Of persons
SO gifted. or rather so instructed are few By
simple act OF common sense all this trouble or
learning how to use your left hand in writing
can Zee avoided. Our ignorance on this point is
due to very silly prejudice of parents. child
is naturally ambidextrous. If you give it any
thing it is as likely to hold out the left as the
right. But most mothers regard this as horrid
and from the time Il baby Is six months of age
they begin to teach it to be one-handed By
constant teaching, even by slaps and correction.
the left arm is finally taboOed. until it becomes
we'll nigh useless tor any purpose. This is done
wholly because this silly. prejudiced world has
concluded it looks awkward to use ones left
arm 1t is mere prejudice, wholly without
foundation or reason. The right arm is no more
superior to the left than the right leg or right
eye is to its companion. We are simply throw
ing away our power for what the world calls
looks" whereas. as a matter Of fact. mo-
ment's consideration would show us that there
is nothing really awkward about left-handed-
ness. 1t only looks" SO, because the world
sees So little Of IT,
