RIGHT-HANDEDNESS

No Knowing Whether the Preference II
the Result OF Original Condition.
The causes Of r:ght-handedness have
given anatomists much material for
speculation, and more than one curious
theory has been advanced to account for
the fact that men habitually use the right
hand in preference to the left. Some
have attempted to explain the differ
ence on anatomical grounds, declaring
h a the course of the artery to the right
arm, being more direct from the heart,
admits the blood in greater quantity to
that member, s conducting to it's SUI
perior strength. This, however, is as
signing a which, on close examin-
ton, seems inadequate, for the causes
of phenomena have often q deeper
source than the mechanism of means.
In considering the subject the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat thinks it should not
be forgotten that the preference for
the right hand is, save in exceptional
cases, universal; the accounts of trav-
elers stating that right-handedness
is Is general among savage nations
as among the civilized, a fact which

the use of the right hand in preference
to the left. In this connection tshould
not be forgotten hat there is a marked
distinction between not only the right
and left hands, but also between the
two sides of the body, the right being
larger and stronger than the left, the
superiority extending even to vital
properties, as the left is more frequently
attacked by such diseases as paralysis.
The right foot is almost az superior to
the left as the right hand, for in the
cas- of dancers, not only are the more
difficult feats Of agility performed by
the right, but a double amount of train
ing is required to give the left foot and
limb a degree of efficiency that will
prevent a contrast being seen by the
spectators. Few people walk evenly
and the greater strength of the right
side is the of persons lost in the
woods travelling in a circle, always
turning to the left These facts, with
many others that may be cited, lead to
the conclusion that nature is the guide
in the more frequent use of the right
hand, but whether the present prefer
ence is the result of an original condi-
ton or Of hereditary training will al
ways be an open question.

PRINCE OF OFFICE BOYS.
An Editors Guardian Who Was Wort
His Weight I'm Gold.

AR Editors Guardian Who Was Worth
His Weight I'm Gold.
He was an Office boy worthy Of a
place among heroes, albert his lot was
cast IL the newspaper Office of a west
ern town, where enduring fame is
crowded to the wall, says the Detroit
Free Press. He occupied a place
at the foot of the editorial stairs, and it
was his duty to give warning to the
editor when an irate visitor came with
a gun to correct an item appearing in
the paper. With a polite bow and q
gracious smile he was wont to inform
the visitor that he would go and see if
the editor vas in, and then if the editor
concluded, from the boys description Of
the caller, that it was safe to see
him he was in; otherwise he crawled
into a fre-proof safe in a back room
and waited until the danger was past.
One day a man came who was particu-
larly ugly. He was a lawyer-politician
in the neighboring town, and the editor
had not filtered the language he used
in describing his moral turpitude.
81 want to see the editor, he growled,
as he started upstairs.
"Ill see if he is in, SIR" smiled the
boy, ~innocently getting in his way.
"Well, I guess not" exclaimed the
visitor, grabbing him by the coat col
lar. I've heard how the chump has a
way Of turning people down when he
doesn't want to see them and I won't
have it. You stay right where you are
and I'll attend to this business myself"
And he slapped the boy down hard in o
rickety chair.
The boy gasped, but he didn'tlose his
wits.
That's all right, mister" he said,
showing a pad of paper and pencil at
the man, but before you go up them
stairs won't you please write out an
a~nte-mortem statement for use at the
coroner's ~inquest?"
The man stopped a moment in his
headlong career.
Its a favor to me, sir" pleaded the
boy; "for the coroner gives me a dollar
apiece for 'em, and the five or six a week
l get barely supports my poor sick
mother and me-" and he wiped his eyes
IN his coat sleeve.
The boys pathetic esrnestness affect
ed the visitor visibly.
"Um-er-er-' he hesitated, as he
started for the door. ION the whole, /
guess I'll postpone my visit until this
afternoon" and then he disappeared,
and the boy drew a long breath and
chuckled away down in his honest little
heart.

Shot While Going For a Doctor.

It was in Pittsburg some seven years
ago that my wife woke me up n night
and said that our little boy was very
sick and would I go for a doctor. l said
of course I would, and slipping into 1ny
clothes I grabbed my hat and started
out. When l reached the first corner, l
passed a stranger who was running the
other way. l cut d~iagonally across the
street and al toward the center OF
town. Pretty soon / heard footsteps
some distance back, and then several
shots were fired. I felt as though some
one had thrown a stone and struck me
on the leg, but l couldn't run any more
worth a cent. | stumbled down and
then drawing myself up put my hand
where I felt the pain and found that my
leg was moist with blood. I easily real
lied that I was shot. The possessor of
the revolver drew up before me painting
for breath and exclaimed, "You will rob
people, will YOU? It was a policeman.
1 began to upbraid him most thoroughly.
Explanations nor excavations did not
help the matter any, and I was taken In
q patrol to the station. | repeated my
story and insisted that a doctor should
be sent to my house. The desk sergeant
finally did as I wished, and u family
doctor called at the house, and later
came by the station. It did not take me
long to convince the station officers that
I was not the party, and was set at lib
erty and removed to my home. When l
was able to get around again, l sued the

THE KELLEY INSTITUTE !
Twelve Years of Established Merit
NOTE OF WARNINC!
TO THE PUBLIC:

DWIGHT, ILL.,, April 80, 1892.
AS a matter of justice to ourselves and to
the reputation of DIR. Leslie E. Keeley's
Double Chloride of Gold remedies, for the
cure of the liquor, opium, morphine and
tobacco diseases and Neurasthenia, we warn
the public that these remedies are used by
no institution or sanitarium in the United
States except those established by ouI COM
pany under the uniform name of "The
Kelley Institute"
All others claiming to use our remedies
are frauds and imposters.
We have now sixty Kelley Institutes es-
tablished in various parts of the United
States where the Kelley treatment is ad-
ministered and the Kelley remedies sold.
Ne, however, caution all to examine well
and know that they are dealing with genuine
representatives, authorized by us, before
taking the treatment or purchasing remedies.
The fraudulent establishments use the name
of "Bi-Chloride of Gold" or similar titles.
The newspapers do not discriminate sufi-
GENTLY to know that they are imitators, and
SO put down all accidents occurring at such
establishments as being brought about by
the Kelley treatment. This is a matter of
much concern to US, hence this warning.
Respectfully yours,
THE LESLIE E. KELLEY co.
Curtis J. Judd, Sec'y and Treas.
The Kelley institute at Greensboro, N. c.,
is the only one in the state, and all repre-.
sensations that there is in the state any cure
that is identical with, or the same as, the
Kelley Double Chloride of Gold Cure are
malicious, false, and made for the purpose of
deceiving. We learn with indignant regret
that such claim is being made, and feeling
that if it be hurtful to us it will prove more
disastrous to those who are deceived thereby,
we sound this warning.

Our troubles are on us because of a
barbarous system of money. Judge
Gresham could not, if he would, do
anything to change this enslaving
system.
But where is the evidence that the
judge would not follow the same fnan-
cial policy that now prevails, even if
he was In Carlisle's place? If he
understands reform. if he knows whac
our country needs, why has he always
acted with the Republican party?
There is no reform about it. He still
claims to be Republican. If he has
turned Democrat that was only Jump
ing out of the frying pan into the fire.
The fact is, the Judge is no reformer
at all. He can't be and act with
either old party.
If we were to wait until we get re-
form at the hands of Cleveland and
his henchmen we will wait until the
crack of doom: and that will be an
other French revolution.
If it were possible for Cleveland
and all his cabinet to be as pure as
saints and as wise as angels, and still
pursue the same old gold-standard,
robber, barbarian system OF money,
the country Society would sink
deeper and deeper into the maelstrom
Of debt and slavery breeding crime,

Human Life.

One of our legislatures in a state
where the law provides that rail
road shall pay $4,000 for killing a
man, through its own carelessness-
proposes TO repeal that limit. The
railroads are fighting the proposition.
In a recent interview with railroad
official, he said that most of the men
killed by railroads were those whose
earning capacity was not nearly
SIS, 900. So we are to understand that
a human life amounts to but little I'M
less it's possessOr can earn big money.
While we admit that this is the stan
dard by which the railroad monopoly
judges human life, we desire to say
with the greatest possible emphasis
that it is disgusting brutality. The
railroad is not assessed SIS, 900 for the
benefit of the family of the man it
slaughters only, but as a punishment
as we'll, and it is too light a punish
ment. Whenever a human life is
taken by railroad carelessness the
road should be made to pay ten times
5000 and the high priced officials
should be held personally response.

The Horror OF 1t.

That on a mere technicality, a
subsidized and partisan Republican
judiciary should dignity the cowardly
and petty thievery Of the Republican
register of elections in high treason
and decide that his transfer bodily OF
the Populist vote to the Republican
candidate entities the latter to the
seat to which the Populist was
elected.
Can a whole state be robbed of it's
right of suffrage by the dishonesty OF
a petty Republican register of elect
ions?
Is a certificate of election the only
qualification necessary?
Hl so, we have only to make an
honest effort to have Populists ap-
pointed as registers of election in
New York and Massachusetts, next
year, and then no matter whether the
Republicans or Democrats poll the
most votes the certificates can be
issued to Populists, who will proudly
take their seats, supported by the
honest and consistent Republican
judiciary and by the bayonets of
Republican militia heroes if necessary
while the poor Democrats and Re-
publicans, who were honestly elected,
can only gnaw at their thumbs in
fearful impotence.
God bless the loyal Republican JUS
tices-who will undoubtedly make
the present affair in Kansas prece-
dent to give US our seats when we
dishonesty get hold of certificates of
election which were issued in def
ance OF the vote of million and a
