Use Both Hands.


 Left=handed facility among the school children is subject that is re- ceiYing much serious attention from the school authorities in Germany, with a view to developing both hands and arms equally while the children are young. They argue that the right hand has been so excessively deyel- oped that many efforts which might easily be delegated to the left hand are undertaken by the right. The smallest objects, as a rule, are picked up by the right hand. Such one-sided movements, repeated constantly, have their influence on the entire system, and are not conducive to the symmetry of the. body. The habit Of people to carry children on the left arm, so as to have the right hand free, tends to make the left shoulder higher than the right In such cases the cure must date from childhood Tn the boys mechanical departments in the German schools much of the work is done by the left hand under eompulsion. The boys are taught to saw, plane and ham mer with the left hand as well as the right. In all trades and professions involving heavy hand work the inn portanee of being able to use both hands equally well is being impressed on the students. As example, the case of bronze worker is cited He could work as effectively with his left hand as with his right That made it pos sible for him to change about when his right hand became tired, and con sequently he got through considerably more work than those who could use only the right hand The preference given to the right arm has been ex- plained physiologically by the con- struction of the veins and nerves that enter the arms, those of the right arm being the more prominent. The re- verse is the case in the few who are naturally left-handed. Many in- stances are on record of men who could use both hands with equal facil- ity. Among them are two renowned painters, Menzel and Klimseh, who praeticed the ambidextrous habit in the days of their youth.
 Exercises that require the effort of the entire arms are urged by the Ger man educational officials. Large cir eles are drawn by the scholars on the blaekboards, first with the one hand and then with the other, without brac- ing the hand, so that the entire arm is in action The superiority of Japan csc drawing can probably be traced te the custom of that land to make the children practice painting and draw ing without the use of any stick ol supporting device for the hand. They are taught to draw at the same time they are taught to write the letter; of their alphabet, and they are taugh to use both hands equally in the task

AdaptIbIIlty of the Rat.

Let's take look at our unwelcome guest the rat. Does he reason? I'm sure he does. Laying aside the more or less probable yarns about his get ting molasses from jug with his tail and other stories, here are some facts; Modern builders and householders have fought the rat and tried to de- prive him of food and shelter in the land where he was born and where lie may consider that he has some rights to life. liberty, and the pursuit of hap piness.
 They have put Instructions in the way of the rat that might have dis couraged our feeble native black fel- low, who was driven to the wilderness years ago by the formidable brown Norway" rat, which is now resident in every land where ships go. He is the Attest and he "fit" all other rats out of business. He is sagacious and can reason; q living example of physical courage and brain power. He knows no instinctive routine life, such as a bee leads and rats rise superior to their environment at any time when the environment proves to be a misfit, says a writer in Forest and Stream.
 The brown rat. like the old sailor, has adapted himself to steel ships and is at home in them, but it is in the cities that he gets in his fine work on gas fittings, lead pipe, cement floors, and brick drains He ehews cement floors in the weakest places and taps lead pipe for water. Sewer rats" have achieved reputation on parallel lines with sanitary plumbing, and un- der the New York end of the Brook lyn bridge rats are earning frigid living in the cold storage warehouses and sharpening their teeth OH frozen fish and game where a mans breath will turn to snow on summers day. He is enough of a philosopher to take life as he finds it; he is a genuine man of the world
 As the burglar keeps abreast of the safemaker, so the intelligent rat steps to the march of civilization and cold storage. This is not "instinet;" it is the result of thought, and thought i'm plies reason.

Fond of Tobacco.

s'I have been an inveterate user of tobacco in some form for the past 40 years. and during that time have had much to do with all sorts of wild beasts, which I have found are nearly all, more or less, partial to the smell or taste of the weed" observed an old and experienced animal trainer to Star reporter. For instance, the com mon brown bear is so fond of the fumes of tobacco that if you blow smoke through the bars of it's cage it will, with evident delight, push for ward and rub it's back and head against the iron bars over which the smoke passes. This is invariable. Not long ago I blew through a hollow stick a pinch of snuff into the nose of sleeping lion. The brute shortly af- ter awoke, sat up straight, sneezed violently and then lay down to sleep very contentedly again. All goats, deer, llamas and so on will chew and eat tobacco and snuff with great eager ness. Monkeys and big balloons also breathe with great satisfaction the smoke from cigars. 1 once made 9 very vicious llama, belonging to cir GUS. my friend by feeding it daily with small quantity of snuff. One day when the show was in Brooklyn, N. Y, several o'-warsmen came to see our exhibit of tame and wild animals. When the men got to the inclosure where the llama was kept, one of the company commenced teasing the beast. By way of protest the llama suddenly spat at the offending sailor, and the latter. with a very astonished look, ex- claimed, Holy Moses, how his breath smells of snuff, boys.
