Let's take a look at our unwelcone
guest, the rat. Does he reason? Inn
sure he does. Laying aside the more

Modern builders and householtsers

They have put distractions IN the
way of the rat that might have dis
couraged our feeble native black fell
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 .<fittest," and he fit all other
rats out of business. He is sagaclouS

mechanical departments IN the German
schools much Of the work is done by
the left hand under compuIsion- The
boys are taught to saw, plane and ham
mer with the left hand rs well as the
right In all trades and professions
involving heavy hand work the i'm
:portance of being able to use both
hands equally we'll is; being impressed
ON the students. AS example, the case
OF bronze worker, Isl cited. He could
work as effectively with his left hand
as with his right. That made 1T pos
sIbIe for him to change about wnen
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-
ipdained physiologically by the. con-
struction of the veins and NERVES that
enter the arms, those Of the right arm
being the moree 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, Mcneil: amt K1imsch, who
practiced 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
ctes are drawn by the scholars on the
blackboards, 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 to
the custom of that land to make the
children practice painting and draw
ing 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

Three Prayers.

Three Prayers
An infant in its cradle spe1t,
And in it's sleep it smiled
And one by one three women knelt
To kiss the fair-haired child:
And each thought Of the days to
And breathed a prayer, half-silent-
ly.
One poured her love on many lives,
But knew loves toll and care;
Its burdens oft had been to her
A heavy weight to bear;
She stopped and murmured low
ingly,
mot burdened hands, dear child,
for thee
One had not known the burdened
hands,
But knew the empty heart;
At life's banquet she had set
An unfed guest apart;
ooh, not" she whispered tender1y,
can empty heart, dear child, for
thee"
And one was old; she had known
care,
She had known loneliness;
She knew God leads us by no path
His presence cannot bless:
She smiled and murmurei. trust
fully:
Gods win, dear child, Gods will
for thee!"
