Why We Are Rtght-Handed.

Primitive man, being by nature
fighting animal, fought for the most
part at first with his great canine teeth.
his nails, and his fists; till in process of
time he at,ted to those early and nat
ural wea pons the further persuasiOns
of a club or shillalah. He also fought,
as Darwin has conclusively shown, in
the main for the possession of the la
dies of his kind against other members
of his own sex and species. And if
you fight you soon learn to protect the
most exposed and vulnerable portion
OF your body. Or, if you don't. natu-
raj selection manages it for you by
killing you off as an immediate conse-
quence.
TO the boxer. wrestler, or hand to
hand combatant that pst vulnerable
portion is undoubtedly Nthe heart. A
hard blow, we'll delivered on the left
breast. will easily kill or, at any rate.
stun even a strong man. Hence, from
an early period men have used the
right hand to fight with and have en-
ployed the left arm chiefly to cover the
heart and to parry a blow aimed at
that specially vulnerable region. And
when weapons of Offense and defense
supersedet mere fists and teeth it is
the right hand that grasps the spear
or sword, while the left holds over
the heart for defense the shield or
buckler.s.
From this simple origin. then, the
whole vast difference of right and left
in civilized life takes its beginning.
At, first, NO doubt. the superiority Of
the right hand was only felt in the
manner of fighting. But that alone
gave it distinct pull, and paved the
way, at last. for the supremacy else
where. For when weapons came into
use, the habitual employment Of the
right handto grasp the spear, sword.
or knife made the nerves or muscles of
the right side far more obedient to the
control of the will than those of the
left The dexterity thus acquired by
the right-see how the word ''dexteri-
ty" implies this fact-made it more
natural for the early hunter and ar
tifcer to employ the same hand pref
erentially in the manufacture of flint
hatchets, bows and arrows. and all the
other manifold activities Of savage
life. 1t was the hand with which he
graspod his weapon: it was therefore
the hand with which he chipped it. To
the end, however. the right hand re-
mains especially ..the hand in which
you hold your knife;" and that is ex-
actly how our own children to this day
decide the question which is which,
whom they begin to know their right
hand from their left for practical pur-
poses. Corvallis Magazine.

A Deserved SComplimsnt.

M. Pietremont has recently read
paper before the Anthropological So
ciety of Paris on the origin and evolu-
tion of the pointer dog, in which he
states that fourteen species of house
and hunting dogs are to be recognized
on the monuments of Egypt. Assyria
and Nineveh. But neither on these
monuments, nor in the works of Greek
or Roman writer's, which he has ex.
haustively searched, are there any in
dications that pointers and settlers ex-
listed as sporting dog before now.

Wealth..

Blessed is the man who secs the royal splen-
dor
Hid in the landscape. though the thick fogs
roll,
Whose heart by Love is kept so warm and
tender
That fogs or tempests never reach his soul
Tho fiowery hills and dales robbed OF
beauty,
Earth is a desert with no fertile spot
To him whose life has only toll and duty,
To whOse lone hearthstone sweet love
cOmeth not.
Ills home may be palace; yet he loses
The sweetest treasure that life can ilHpart,
Success or failure comes each one chooses.
Whether his wealth shall be of purse or
heart.
Love and contentment. goodness, hopes
ethereal.
To the posseSsor give the greatest wealth;
For Y. Id be, ONES n curse, and all material
That robs us of our birthriRht, Heaven and
health.
Blessed is the man whose happy soul hath
risen
From the dead plane of sense. through faith
ana trust:
Blessed is the man hom Love hath led from
prison
wherelife is-heart to heart. not dust to
dust.

elected district attorney. His career in this
office made him the famous Oakley Hall. He
made record for good works that stood him
in good stead through all his subsequent
troubles, and is still pointed to with pride by
his friends and supporters. His worst en-
,nies admit that his action as district attor-
ney was Of great benefit to the city and his
record without flaw He was next elected
mayor of New York, and in that capacity he
has ever since been studied.
1t is, perhaps, too soon to give an impartial
Judgment on the affairs of 1S69-'71, or Of
national affairs for the ten years following
the war 1t was, all men admit, the era Of
waste and corruption. Many "a honored
name was blackened forever; the reputation
Of many brave soldier and many man
high in the national councils was sunk in
irredeemabe blackness The cities grew fas-
ter than lawmakers could pass reform char
ters to suit All city governments were ad
mittedly reckless and many corrupt; that Of
New York, as it was the biggest city, was
eonfessedly the worst.
This could not last. In 1871 the explosion
came, and for months the papers were full
of the doings OF Tweed, Sweeny, Hall and
Connolly" Their pictures adorned all the
Illustrated papers; Mast and other caricatur-
lists made millions merry with their exagger-
ated lineaments During the era Of corrup-
ton Hall was mayor, Sweeny city chamber
lain or treasurer, Connolly city comptroller
and Tweed at the head of the street depart
ment besides being supreme in the matter of
public works, and, more than all, in the po-
litical organization which elected all the city
government. In due time the ''ring' got
control Of the judiciary, and in 1869 they Sc
cured of the state legislature the celebrated
"new charter" which practically gave them
control of the city. Their doings gave occa-
sion for the SO called explosion OF 1871, =" but
need not be recounted here.
Suffice it to state that a clerk revealed
the fact that general fund.- and ''city liza
bilites" were terms which covered enormoW
steahngs, estimated at from So, 900, 600 to
e15, 600 600. A citizens committee of seven
~, with Samuel J. Tilden at their head, in
vestigated and prosecuted Connolly fed
and died in exile. Sweeny, after a Iong I'D
sence, returned, and lives in obscurity. Tweed
died in jail Hall was tried and acquitted
He next tried his hand as a lecturer and
actor; then for q few years as editorial
writer on The World and afterward on
Truth. He then disappeared so completely
from New York life that most people are
surprised to learn that he is q successful law
yer in London, where he has taken tho oath
of allegiance to the British government. He
now brings suit against Mr.. Bryce for libel,
and puts his damages at 10000, because the
latter has, in chapter So of The American
Commonwealth" given very uncompli-
mentary history Of Tweed, Sweeny, Hall
and Connolly" Such is the versatility q
one specimen Of New York Americanisu.
