And now, which hand do you button withF Nine people out of ten use tho left. and those who use the left can not button with the right to save them They never learned that way. In guarding against the use of the left hand, that was one thing the mother forgot
 The man smoking uses his left hand to hold his cigar or cigarette. He will tell you the reason he does not use his right is because he has got in the habit of using his left. The fingers of the left hand of nearly every smoker are yellow with nicotine. He uses the left hand; it's simply habit The right hand is busy with pen or pencil. and the left hand is trained to perform this duty, and when it has once been trained it always performs the task whether the right hand is engaged at something else or not.
 Pugilists use their left hand to pro- tect themselves from the blows of the adversary, and probably the hardest blows ever struck in prize ring are ] the "left-handed' ones. Handed one with his left" is almost as much of a chestnut in the report of fight as dull thud'' is in hanging report. l Delsarte. famed for teaching the court children how to walk, move or i sit down, and whose method of stage fainting, falling, walking, etc, are studied by all emotional actresses, says the left arm and foot are stronger than the right.

 Doctors can not tell by dissecting 6 corpse whether the subject was right or left-handed. There is no difference in the physical construction of the two persons.
 After all. the whole subject must gc to tho brain for an explanation. The brain is in two sections, right and left The left side of the brain directs the right side of the body, and vice versa If the right side of the brain is per mitted to remain inactive and almos torpid for a lifetime, while the lef side during our entire adolescence the most important period-is kept 1T constant state of activity and con sequent development. every nerve centering there is raised to a higf state of cultivation, is familiar witt it's offices and performs them, not only naturally, but mechanically-scarcelI without any direction, There is nc reason why the brain of the left sidf of the head should be more sensitive or active than that of the right side We hear equally as well with the righ ear as wo do with the left, and on eye can see as distinctly as the other IN.
