Aavantace of Left Hand writing.

The number of men who can write legi-
bly with the left hand is very small in this
country, where the fact of being ambidex-
trous is not appreciated at its full worth.
Sir Edwin Arnold stated that in Japan
every child is taught to write with either
and both hands, and he limited that this
was not the only evidence of sound com.
mon sense he met with while in the king
dom of the mikado.
There lave been many remedies suggest
cd for what is known as writer's cramp,
and many writers alternate between the
pen and the typewriter, but the simplest
plan of all is to acquire the art of writing
with either hand and change from one to
the other On the first suspicion of fatigue.
l. is quite easy for a child to learn to
write with the left hand, and though after
the muscles have got set with age it is
more difficult almost any man can learn
to write with his left hand in II week, and
to write as well with one hand rs the other
in less than year.-Boston Globe.

saulsm and Read, Read and squirm.

Az fact after fact comes to light concern
ing Grover Cleveland's policy Of infamy"
toward Hawaii, and the asinine, not to say
malignant. purpose back of it all, stands
out with sharpness painful to contemplate,
how some Of 'em do squirm.
BY "some Of I'm" we mean the thick
and thia worshippers Of the man
in the White House and those whose
blind partisanship has made them tools of
the Cleveland regime. In this latter class
are those who experience their chief delight
in life in thinking Themselves the
"old guard" They did not give
the Hawaiian question any particular
thought but because Democratic president
had done $50 and So" they exclaimed like
poll pnrots, $50 and 80 must be the cor
rect thing" Some of the shrewdest men in
the party have either openly discovered the
policy Of infamy" or are non commlttal
concerning it. They are in a position to
hear the truth. The others are not and are
in Just the condition of sensitiveness where
sQuifming seems to be the only vent they
can afford their feelings. Every statement
in print that shows up the Hawaiian idiocy
of Cleveland, Gresham and Blount
crates on their nerves like buzz saw and
they writhe and comfort their faces at the
publication and exclsim with frantic
earnestness, "Oh. people are sick Of that
stuff" Yes, there are people who are
sick Of It. They are the people who made
up their minds in advance or without con-
sulting any of the evidence and they are
very sick indeed. They are to be pitied fol
their folly but those Who care for knowledge
Of the facts connected with these great pub
Nc questions are fortunately in the large
majority and these facts the newspapers o.
the country will continue to furnish to them
The editorial and other opinions too, vii
continue to Be read, even BY thesquirmers
Who, now that It's too late f5f their owl
