Why Arc We Right Handeds

The question of right and left handed
ness is 50 frequently brought up that any
investigation of or light on the subject
must he Of general interest. 1t has been OBJ
served that infants who crawl on all fours
make much more use Of the right than
tho left hand, unless they are left handed.
A scientist accounts for this by declaring
that right hnndedness Is caused by the To-
cation Of the organs Of the body. The
heart being on the left side causes very
much greater weight than In the right
During active life the heart and arteries
filed with blood make the Increased
weight Of that side an item Of some impor.
tance. The center Of gravity is therefore
thrown more to tho left side. This being
the case, the right arm Is much moro free
than. the left. There may be also pro.
vision of nature In the use Of tho right
hand more than tho left Throwing a
ball, striking with hammer or other vio-
lent exercise might have depressing or
injurious effect upon the heart II dono
with the left hand. This theory Of bal
anV and weight Is by far tho most ra-
tional one that has been put out and Its
further development will bc watched with
great interest New York Ledger.

In congress every member flnds himself
at one great disadvantage, which length
of service may diminish but can never en-.
tirely take away, and that disadvantage
arises from the lack OF local knowledge az
to farof states. Wemay be q homogeneous
nation, but we are certainly not lacking
In diversities.
The broad extent of the country, In
more ways therefore than one, affects the
legislative action of the house and also
its methods of action.
In some of tho smaller states all the
business which Is presented to tho legisla-
ture Is disposed of In some way or other.
The committees report all bills and reso-
lutions which are sent. to them and both
assemblies say Eyes" or "no' directly or
indirectly to them all.
In congress neither house attempts to
do anything of the kind. The pigeonholes
Of all of the committees which are fortu-
nate enough to have any business at all
are found, at the end Of the session and Of
congress, full of bills undisposed of.
Thousands also of the bills reported are
left on the calendars without even the
poor formality of being discussed, or even
Of being called up. In word, congress,
when 1t gets ready, adjourns, leaving the
dead bills by the wayside.
Obviously there are some things which
have to be done. There are bills which
must be passed. Unless revenue Is fur
nished, even the ordinary function of gov.
ernmentw would be at an end. So also II
the revenues were not properly appropriat-
cd according to law, the government could
not go on, for its continuance costs money.
Hence, under tho rules Of tho house, the
committee Of ways and means, having
charge of bills raising revenue, and the
committees on appropriations, obliged to
provide for the expenditure OF revenue,
havea right Of way which is thorough and
complete. Whenever the house desires to
take up such bills, there is neither let nor
hindrance. The country therefore can be
suro that Its necessities are provided for

Cheap Confederate Money.

A southern firm advertises Is Tarie-

also a rare collection of so different
bills and sllinplasters for only 81" APP
parently The firm has millionso dollars
worth of this money for sale cheap.
What a pity that u old fogy eonsti-
tuition is in the way! But fer it the
cheap money advocates in any state
where they have a majority could buy
IN this whole confederate ouSht and
start in business at once. The amount
of prosperity and happiness that could
be extracted from this old paper mine
would depend upon the size (popula-
tion) of the state fortunate enough to
secure the monetary outfit.
For instance. it would probably give
Nevada more than $1,000 per capita and
would at once transform her from one
of the POOREST to II of the wea1shies'
of states. Instead of s~agebrush and
p.izefights she would TEEN with gran
aries and warehouses. Dow with O

Retire LeEnl Tender Notes

The fear of contraction has a good
deal to do with the very common oppo-
sition to the policy of retiring the legal
tender notes, but there is no sufficient
ground for il. No L has suggested
any process of retirement that would
not be gradual. and the process would
necessarily be spread over several
ears. though the beneficial results OF
the policy would begin to be felt al
cnce. An aes of congress providing fol
the retirement of the notes would es'

WHAT IS MONEY!
Clearly Explained by q College Pres
taant ot m farmers Convention.

Clearly Explained by q College Pres.
fdent ut a Farmers' Convention.
The following is part of the synopsis
printed by the Milton (Wis.l Journalof
an excellent address by President Whit
ford, of Milton college, before the farm
ers' convention at a recent meeting at
Milton. 1t contains some very lucid
statements of money and of the power
of governments to fix value:
First.-Two separate and distinct val
ues are assigned to money, one being
The intrinsic or market value of the ar
ticle used; the other the legal or face
value, indicated by the stamp or device
pressed upon the article. In some well
known instances what is popularity
called money has only n OF these
values.
Second.-The common practice OF
tribes and nations in selecting such ar
ticles or commodities for money is to
adopt two kinds or grades OF them, n
| having greater market value according
to its weight, for use in the larger ex-
changes in trade; the other having less
er value. for the smaller exchanges.
| This practice furnishes the first essen
tial condition for a system of bimetal-
lism.
Third.-Only that money is basic n
widely and permanently used which is
made of precious metals. very generally
gold and silver. Other and perishable
commodities are finally abandoned or
held redeemable IN these metals.
Fourth.-The market value of these
metals, not their face value, constitutes
the original and continuous quality by
reason of which they are almost univer-
sally accepted as basic or primary mon
ev. Government or custom can add a
quality, not inherent, but temporary,
to such metals and other articles used
as a medium of exchange. But the real
measure thus declared to be effective
and lasting must be the n established
by the laws of trade. not by the edicts
of government.
Fifth.-Government itself cannot fiS
or control the market value or price oil
any metal or other commodity, whether
used as money OIL in the practical arts
So it cannot make fat money and com
pei the people to circulate it a grea'
length of time as money Of any sort.
Sixth.-Any coins or other money
whose market value is less than theil
face value always soon expel from cir
culation all coins or other money
whose market value is greater accord
, ing to their weight, unless the formel
are redeemable in the latter. Whenevel
a coin shows even a slight inferiority o
it's market value to its face value.
tends at once to crowd out of use ever
a coin whose two values are equivalent
Seventh.-Gold has been adopted b.
the principal civilized nations as pr
mary money or the standard OF value
!, because Of its greater market value. it
less weight for a given sum OF none,
and its least fuctuation in market valu
of II of the precious metals.
D Eight.-Coins like silver. who's
market value is less than their face va
pe, can be kept circulating at the sam
time with gold coins even in somewha
large amounts only by being redeem
1 able in the same denominations wit
the gold. The same is true OF pape
money, which has no aPprsciable ma
ket yalUe.

If Pennsylvania is in real doubt
whether to spend 5000, 900 or 50, OOO,-
900 for a capitol, the example of other
states may throw light upon her
choice. The building of other state
houses points to the belief that an
original appropriation of 5000, 900 will
in all probability end in a s3,OO0,O OO
capitol and that an original sappro-
priation of SO, 900, 900 will end in a
