In hygienic matters, the Japanese
have everywhere habit which may
have lesson for us. In their nightly
bath and morning wash the water is
never cold, never warm, but always hot
as it can be borne. To foreigners this
habit seems very surprising, but the
most inveterate Englishman, if he stays
in this country long enough, abandons
his cold tub in its favor The cold tax
ing which is supposed to follow never
occurs if the water has been hot enough.
This heat is maintained by a little fur
mace beneath the bath. In the tub the
person takes a prolonged soaking, tho
washing proper being done on the bath
room floor; then follows a second and
final soaking, drying with towel, and
a lounge in bath wrapper. This habit
seems to promote softness and suppleness
of the skin, and by those inclined to
rheumatism it is found preferable to the
cold bath in every particular. The poor
est of the Japanese hear of a cold bath
with amszement, and would be sure the
man who used it must be barbarian.
With respect to the superiority of the
hot bath over the cold, l have come to
find that in my own case, certainly, the
Japanese are right.

A much needed invention has lately
been brought to notice in London and re-
ceived the commendation of the press.
1t consists of a simple and inexpensive
device for automatically shutting off the
gas when it has been blown out instead
of being turned off in the usual way.
The principle upon which this mechan-
ism is based is the expansion and con-
traction of metallic loop made of Ger
man silver and steel, which is adjusted
close to the gas fame. One end of the
loop is free, while the other is secured to
the fixture; a valve containing the gas is
attached to the free end, and when the
gas is burning the valve is open, and the
gas freely escapes. II, however, the gas
is blown out, the property of the loop is
quickly to cool and contract, and the
valve will shut off the gas. The device
is said to respond promptly to thechange
in temperature.

The Right Hand.

Whether the greater aptitude of the
,f5ht hand has been gradually acquired
or is gift of nature has always been a
disputed question. Aristotle and Sir
Thomas Brown believed it to have been
acquired. Benjamin Franklin, person.
ating the left hand, wrote popular arti.
| Gle urging the claims of this member to
| greater consideration. The left hand is
made to say:
There are two sisters of us, and the
two eyes of man do not resemble, nor
are capable Of being on better terms with
each other than my sister and myself,
were it not for the partiality of our pa
tents, who made the most injurious dis.
tinctions between us. From my infancy
l have been led to consider my sister
being of more elevated rank. was suf,
fered to grow up without the least in
| struction, while nothing was spared il,
her education. She had masters to teacl,
her writing, music, drawing and othes
accomplishments; but if by chance
ouched a pencil, pen. OF needle,
vas rebuked, and more than once have
teen beaten for being awkward, ane
7anting graceful manner"
The left hand contended that she
should be instructed equally with the
right in order that if the right hand
should be disabled the left might take
her place.
Many arguments may be brought for.
ward in support of the theory that tha
greater strength of the right hand has
been gradually developed. In warfars
The shield would naturally be held in the
left hand to protect the heart while the
right was used for fighting, and all mill
tary training, necessitating uniform
movements, would tend to increase that
distinction.
If the tendency to use the right hand
we're inborn, it should appear, from an.
alogy, that other animals possess greater
strength on one side, and this does not
seem to be the case. On the contrary, it
Is maintained that nature shows the ten
dency to be her own provision in many
ways. The direction of the worm of the
screw is not arbitrary, but is an adapta-
ton of parts to each other in the econ
omy of nature.
The greater strength belongs to tho
whole right side and not to the hand
alone. Opera dancers it is said, are
obliged to give double the practice to the
left side to obviate awkwardness.
The word "left" means weak. Innum-
cradle expressions owe their significance
to this distinction. A left handed blow
implies treachery, and left handed
compliment means insincerity. "Stand
thou on my left hand" is equivalent to
condemnation.
The Chinese assign honor to the left
hand in ceremonials; this may be in ac-
cordance with the Asiatic tendency to
value dexterity and cunning above phys
ical strength.
The question affords occasion for end.
less discussions, for the same facts ard
used as arguments on both sides, with
varying interpretations according to tho
different points of view.

An Incident Sb owing How Parole EvI-

I Jobson would have sworn he wasn't
drunk. To be sure, the keyhole was
5rifle hard to find, but that particular
night-latch always was rather agile along
towards midnight. When he got the
door open he hung his coat on the hat
rack and removed his shoes, and, taking
them in his hand, walked quietly up
stairs so as not to awaken Mrs. Jobson.
He lighted the gas and disrobed in as Or
derby manner as any sober man would.
Then he knelt down beside the bed and
had just commenced his prayers when
ripple of laughter interrupted him. He
glanced up and saw his wife sitting up
in bed laughing heartily. He retained
mis- position and began to demonstrate
with his hilarious consort.
II shuppose you think I'm full, don't
gou?"
"Oh, no; not at ALL.
"Then what you snickering 'boutp I
came in the front door and hung up my
,hic) coat. Now, if I was intoxicated,
I'd fired it on the floor and stumbled up
stairs with my shoes on. Then 1 care

laid them on the chair, and any drunk
man would trow them in the corner;

yourself that no Intoxicated man ever
says his prayers. So what's the hie)
matter, anyhow"
"Well, my dear, suppose you are all
right; but must say never saw sober
man saying his prayers while wearing
silk hat before"

chat took place in the police court re-
Gently in that city. A woman who had
been begging in the street was brought
up as a vagrant for the third time, but
on account of the repeated offence was
sentenced for thirty days. Whereupon
she begged earnestly that she might be
released, as she had large family to
support, and what would her husband
and children do without her! The judge
expressed incredulity as to her having a
husband. when a man stepped forward
and vouched for her as his wife, and said
il the judge would only let her off he
would see that she worked in the future
and supported her family. The judge
distinguished himself by replying that
he would let the woman go and send the
man up for six months as vagrant.

The man was marched out, muttering;
mo visible means of support? Good

vucomte Toussa,nt.. Sarcasm.

Toulouse. He was brave man and a
dashing officer. During one of the hot
test engagements of the terrible year, no.
ticing that his troops were bending for
ward under CALLING fire to escape the
bullets of the enemy, while lie alone
maintained an erect position, he ex-
claimed: "Since when, should like to
know, has so much politeness been
shown to the Prussians?" The sarcasm,
took instantaneous effect, for the soldiers
rushed forward and carried everything
before them,
