THE latest craze is to learn to become ambi-
dextrous, and a point is made that one should
especially be able to write we'll with either hand.
So many persons lose hand, you know-an aw-
full thing, you know-and if they can't write
with their left hand where are they? This is
something absolutely awful to contemplate and
the mystery is why some one didn't discover it
long ago About one person in $4,000 loses a
hand in the ordinary vocations of life. Nor is
it always the right hand; so that it is
probably safe to say that in $4,000 persons one
loses hand annuallY-that is it is not the
same person that annually loses a hand, but
some one loses one hand one year. and some one
else loses one the next, and so on. Appalled, by
the contemplation of these deplorable accidents,
there is a movement to study sinistral chirog-
graphy, and, as usual, we may soon expect to
hear some school crank advocating it
as branch in popular education
Let everybody of sense begin at
once or we shall have it introduced
into the school curriculum before another year
passes. What possible sense can there be in
having boy or girl learning to write left handed
because Of one chance in 900 of losing the
right hand2 By exactly the same course of rea-
soning it might he insisted that pupils should be
taught to write and play the piano with their
toes, for, you know, so many people lose both
hands, Let the very few unfortunate enough to
lose hand learn to write with the left hand if
they think it will pay. But, in the name of
long-suffering humanity, don't impose on the
rest

There are some who never seeiA to
be lieve themselves capable OF any thing;
they see others prees for ward to attempt
and achieve, and shrink back into .
responding inactivity. Having no
faith in themselves, they undertake
nothing and effect no hing. Tfthey are
convicted ofsome fault or bad habit,
they have 30 little hope of being able 10
cure ", that they scarcely make an ef.
fort. II some avenue of usefulness and
honor opens up before them, they draw
back, almos. sure that they should not
succeed, and decline to enter. Ii some
duty presses urgently upon their con-
science, they try TO quiet its promptings
by pleading inability. Thus their lives
pass away in uselessness, their facul
ties do not develop, or their characters
improve, their abilities are, wasted, they
dwindle into insignitcance, and I'll
this, not for lack Of power but for the

Female Beauty,

1t is an old remark, that the most
beautiful women are not always the
most fascinating. 1t may be added, we
fear, that they are seldom so. The
reason is obvious. They are apt TO
rely too much on their beauty, or TO
give themse. yes too many airs Mere
beauty ever Was, and ever will be, hut a
secondary thing, excapt with fools.
And fools admire il Tor as little time AS
anybody else perhaps not 30 long.
they have no fancies to adorn II
with lfthis secondary thing fall into
disagreeable ways, it becomes but a
fifth or sixth rate thing, OF
nothing at all, or worse than nothing
We resent the unnatura mixture We
shrink from it, as we should from a
serpent with beauty's head. The
most fascinating women are those tha
can most enrich the every day mo
ments Of existence. In particular al,
attaching sense, they are those that cal
partake our pleasures and our pains il
the liveliest and most devoted manner
Beauty is little without this.
