And Monty bestowed upon me one of
those all-forgiving, albeit sad, glances

one Is trying ones best to snub him.
After Monty's casual remark l was
surprised to find Efie a nice looking
girl, though with, of course, no preten-

mands of his ideal woman. She was
young, indeed, but had an old fashioned

Why We Use the Right Hand.

Every pugilist, upon entering the
ring, takes special pains to protect the
region of the heart. All athletes I'M
derstand that the most vulnerable por-
ton of the body is undoubtedly the
heart. A hard blow, well delivered on
the left breast, will easily kill-or at
any rate stun-even a strong man.
Hence, from an early period men have
used the right hand to fight with and
have employed the left arm chiefly to
cover the heart and to parry a blow
aimed at that specially vulnerable re-
gion. When weapons of offense and
defense superseded the fist it was the
right hand that grasped the spear and
sword, while the left held over the
heart the shield or buckler. From this
simple origin, then, the whole vast
difference in civilized life takes it's be-
ginning. AT first no doubt the supe-
riority of the right hand was only felt
in the name of fighting. But that
alone gave it prominence and paved
the way for it's supremacy elsewhere.
