No Good Reason Yet Advanced Why 70
Should Not be Done.
IN ono of his essays in a book en-
ts,ied 'Brushwood, the late James T.
Fields wrote: eff / were a boy again. I
think l would learn to use my left hand
just as freely as my right one, SO that
il anything happened to lame either of
them the other would be all ready to
write and handle things just as freely
Is if nothing had occurred" And un-
doubtedly a great many Of us would
learn to use both hands alike il we had
our lives to live over again. OF all the
young women who came under my in
struction while in charge of the School
of Domestic Economy of the Iowa Ag-
riculturai college, not more than one in
twenty-five could sweep properly. The
ratio in this respect of those who came
under my instruction at Purdue univer-
sity was about the same. And as far
rs my observation extends this ratio
Will hold i'll regard to women generally.
As a rule, women, old and young, Go
not know how TO handlea broom. Their
right hands only have been trained.
Their left hands have been neglected.
When a women takes hold OF broom
it is with the right hand near the tor
of the handle and the left hand toward
the corn. and instead of changing and
reversing them as occasion demands
she always keeps them in the same po-
sition. Whether she sweeps to the right
or to the left, the position of her hands
remains unchanged. And her body is
contorted and her muscles strained in
the performance Of an operation that
would exercise these organs harmonious
| ly, if the hands were so trained that
| they could he used at will and were
changed rs demanded by the changes in
| the position OF the sweeper.
| l refer to women sweeping merely to
illustrate my point. The same can be
said concerning the training of the
hands III numerous other branches OF
women's work that it is unnecessary to
mention, and so far as the use of the
left hand is concerned men are in no
better condition than women. Men and
women are in this respect MANNED and
handicapped alike. Why should such
state of things exist! Why, in this
age of manual training, should we over
look and neglect the education of the
left hand and continue to train the
right hand at the expense of the left:
No physician or Psychologist has evel
given a sensible reason for SO doing,
and we seem to adhere to the custom
merely because it has been carried down
to us by Our ancestors.-JennessM Miller

DR.. A. Symons Eccles has struck the
keynote of radical improvement in the
general health Of city communities
when he says that the most potent fac.
tor Of present day ailments is the abcy-
ance into which the muscuID system is
allowed to fall by jewellers in cities.
who are daily becoming more and 4 90
dependent ON artificial means of loco
motion and labor saving apparatus, un-
hi disorders of digestion and nervous
malndios arc now ms common among
the comparatively poor as they are
among the wealthy. The rich man en-
deavors to overcome tho mischief
wrought by his sedentary life by horse
back exercise or golf, Int the poorer
man, who is unable to afford these recre-
atoms, neglects his muscular develop
ment and invariably tumbles into his
train or mounts his street car rather
than waste the time necessary for a
brisk walk or n half hour in the GYM
nasium.
The popularity Of the bicycle has
tended To counteract the disuse of mus
cles engendered in a large proportion of
town residents, but there are still num-
bcrs Of persons Of both sexes who re-
Quire vigorous muscular exercise in Or
der to maintain health. Women are
the victims of modern, social and COM
mercial changes almost if not quite as
much rs men. The Capitalization Of
many domestic industries may have i'm
proved the character of the products
THIS manufactured or of the work per-
formed, but when bread was made and
washing was done Mt home the female
members of many families fairly well
of. but no. too richly endowed with
this worlds goods, were profitably en-
ployed in kneading the dough and iron
ing the linen. One of the results Of
this general disinclination to take the
amount of exercise essential to health
is the revival of practice which is re-
corded in the earliest medical papyrus
in the British museum.
The introduction of massage may be
regarded rs specific evidence of the ten
iency in these latter days to the neglect
of musculaS exercise. and DIR. Eccles
holds that = it be true that the abey-
uncc of function in certain glands is
productive of diseases which can be
cured by tine injection of organic lIq-
aids derived from similar source
and modern research has established this
belief-much more is it evidently true
that the failure to employ the great bull
Of muscular tissue, which is so large 9

invariably does, give rise to disordereG
function and altered structure in tn,

Egypt's Monuments.

Recent discoveries in Egypt and Chal-
dea indicate that, although the monu-
ments there carry us back about 5000
years before the Christian era, they do
not constitute the limit of our sources
Of history. They indicate the origin OF
these people to have been in western
Persia. Kurdistan and Luristan show
more ancient remains than have been
studied in any part of the world. The
old Babylonian civilization and Chinese
civilization both come probably from
this region. and it may yet yield ms
knowledge of times far earlier than any
that we know of.-Chicago Tribune.

Careful mothers with unruly chill

Mr.. Allison's motion to reconsider the vote by
which a third reading was ordered drew out dur
ing the afternoon spirited discussion on the
violation of Senatorial usage and courtesy by
means Of which the presiding officer was ena bled
to declare a third reading carried before the OPP
moments OF the measure were aware what ques-
ton was being put. Mr. Hoar who was the
especiaI victim of the trick by which the bill was
rushed through yesterday. declared that In all his
recollection such unjust advantage had ever
been sought 10 be taken in the Senate by pre-
siding officer. and he appealed TO the sense or
courtesy and fairness supposed To guide the
Senate In its procedure for a reversal OF yeSt"r-
days action as repugnant to all the practice ana
