The school authorities In Germany are
giving much attention of late TO develop
ing left-handed facility among the school
children. They argue that the greater
Development OF the right hand produces
one-sided movements, which repeated
constantly, have their influence on the
entire system and spoil the symmetry of
the body
IN the boys mechanical departments in
the German schools much OF the work is
done by the left hand under cOmpusiOn.
.Ihe boys are taught TO saw. plane and
hammer with the left hand as well as the
right In all trades and professions in
VolVlng heavy hand work the Importance
Of being able to use both hands equally
well is being impressed upon 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 il possible for him to change or
when his right hand became tired.
Exercise that require the effort of the
entire arm axe urged by the German
educational officials Large circles are
drawn by the scholars on the blackbOardS
first with the one hand and then with
the other, without bracing the hand, so
that the entire arm is in action. The
superiority OF Japanese drawing can
probably be traced to the custom of that
land to make the children practice paint
ing and drawing without the use of any
stick or supporting device FOR the hand
They are taught to draw at the same time
they are taught to write the letters Of
their alphabet and they are taught 10 use
both hands equally in the task
The natural preference given to the
right arm has been explained physiology
cally by the construction Of the veins
and nerves that enter the arms. those OF
the right arm being more prominent. The
reverse is the case in the few who are
naturally left-hauded. Many instances
are recorded OF men who were ambideX-
trous. among these being TWO renowned
painters, MeEZei and kllmSch-

American women are reyiving interest
in the Maybrick case. The reported
discovery Of new evidence at Norfolk
that her husband was in the habit of
using arsenic as a medicine is confirm
atory CT other testimony OF the same
nature. Many believe her innocent, and
others who are not fully convinced of
her innocence, nevertheless think she
has served long enough. Many efforts
to clear her name have been made, but
the British home secretary has hitherto
been cbdurate to all appeals. So many
good and thoughtful women have inter
ested themselves in this case that the
cement of sympathy has grown into
general bellies that this is an instance
OF British injustice. But rather than
any proof of injustice, it merely indi-
Gates the reluctance with which the
English NEEDLE with the DEGREES of
their courts. a policy that seems harsh
in the light of the American treatment
of similar affairs.

THREE VICTIMS OF WAR.

Death goes hand in hand with war.
When men enlist they count the cost;
they go for glory and full well they
know it's paths lead to the grave.
Il is the expected that happens when
soldiers fall upon the battlefield. Not
all may hope to survive the perils Of
war to receive their meed Of laurel
wreaths and love. But the nations
dead are not forgotten. This republic
is not ungratefui to its defenders. One
of the brightest jews.ss in it's diadem
OF greatness Is this.
When the Utah batteries passed
through the first great battle Of Manila
and took such an active part and
plucked distinction from a CORY field
without the loss of a man. it was a
matter for wonder and congratulation.
But the second battle. that with the
insurgents the other night, has had a
SOLDERING effect. 1t brought 10 Utah
homes sorrow marvelously delayed 1t

DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.

Upon all ordinary occasions I think
the majority should rule; and following
out this precept, today cast my vote
for the Hon. A. W. McCune."
Thus s51ake Senator Harden Bennion
at the joint session yesterday.
The senator doubtless had in mind
the Democratic caucus held the night
before.
Unfortunately for the party, there
was no decision reached at the caucus.
FOrty-one Democrats were present, and
two-thirds Of that number were willing
to be bound by its action.
But there were those who refused to
recognize the right of majority-even
a two-thirds majority.
Senator Bennion was of the minor
ity, but he is a believer in majority
rule. In other words, he clings to that
underlying principle of Democracy.
Senator Bennion is a Democrat. His
words above quoted show that he I'M
derstands the doctrines Of Democracy.
