SURVIVAL OF WAR WIDOWS.
Pension Report Shows Remarkable
Facts in Regard to Longevity.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
One of the curiosities of the United
states pension service is the astonishing
survival of war widows. The report Of
the United States commissioner of pen
sions, just issued, shows some remark
able and interesting facts in regard to the
longevity of the widows of soldiers For
instance, while there is not a single SOL
der of the war of the revolution alive to-
day, there are still surviving and drawing
pensions twelve widows and daughters of
soldiers of the revolution. OF the war of
1872 there are only three soldiers still
alive, but of their widows there are sur
vving ana drawing pensions the astonish-
ing number Of 2.4O7.
The war of the revolution closed in 1888
and a period of lis years has elapsed, and,
while there are no male survivors, there
are still some of their widows alive. This
state of affairs can only be possible on the
ground that some of the soldiers, after
they had attained old age married young
wives. The war of 1921 closed with the
battle of New Orleans on Jan 8, 1915
eighty4threc years ago. Supposng that
The youngest soldier were is years old, a
period of 101 years has elapsed since the
birth Of such soldiers. Evidently many of
them, after they were old married young
women, so that, although all the men but
three are dead, they have left behind more
than 1900 widows. By the same rule OF
procedure 1t is plain there will be widows
of soldiers of the civil war on the pension
rolls in 1880, and even few in the year
A. D. 300, more than century hence for
if a soldier IS years old in 1861 should mar
nv when he had reached the age of so years
in 1928, a girl 16 years old, she might hope
to live seventy-seven years longer, or to
the age of SO, which would bring her up to
the year 1000. OF course, ii is not likely
there will be many such, but there will. in
all probability be some.

LEFT-HANDED DEVELOPMENT.
school Children in Germany BecOm-
ing AmbideNtrOus
From the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
Left-handed facility among the school
children is a subject that is receiving much
serious attention from the school author
tiles in Germany, with a view to develop
ing both hands and arms equally while the
children are young. They argue that the
right hand has been so solely developed
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-sded movements, repeated con-
stantly, have their influence on the entire
system, and are not conducive to the SYM
metry 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. In the
boys mechanical departments in the Ger
man schools much of the work is done
by the left hand under compulsion. The
boys are taught to saw, plane and hammer
with the left hand as well as with the
right. In all trades and professions in
Voving 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 a bronze worker
is cited He could work as effectively
with his left hand as with his right That
made it possible for him to change off
when his right hand became tired.
The preference given to the right arm
has been explained physiologically by the
construction of the veins and nerves that
enter the arms, those of the right arm
being the more prominent. The reverse
is the case in the few who are naturally
left-handed. Many instances are on rec
ord of men who could use both hands with
equal facility. Among them are two re-
nowned painters, Mcneil and Klimsch,
who practiced the ambidextrous habit in
the days of their youth.
Exercises that require the effort of the
entire arm are urged by the German ed
vocational officials. Large circles are
drawn by the scholars on the blackboards
first with one hand and then with the
other, without bracing the hand, so that
the entire arm is in action. The superb
GRITTY of Japanese drawing can probably
be traced TO the custom of that land &c

be, and they are taught to use both hand:

Cutting the Hunters Shirt.
From Forest and Stream.

In this section there has been a custom.
since the memory of man runs not to the
contrary, that the hunter who misses a
deer which in all reason he should have
killed is subjected to the modification of
having his shirt cut off under the arms
and torn into ribbons, to be worn by the
rest of the hunt, in the manner that col
lege colors are worn at a foot ball game.
Every one who hunts deer knows that
the best shots will miss on good opportuni-
ties to kill at times. But there is very little
mercy shown TO victims of the dreaded
buck fever They are disciplined to the
fullest extent. Ii takes a cool man to kill
a bounding deer fleeing from the hounds.
How often has The stander wished for the
opportunity given to the still hunter to
shoot a deer in its bed or standing uncon-
scious of danger. He is called upon to
kin the deer as il whips out of the dense
forest into the narrow bed of the stream
and out of sight again in five seconds.
How often we observe the compensation
plan in nature. The size of big game,
which makes such a huge mark, brings on
such excitement in the nervous system of
the hunter that it makes it quite safe with
the average man, and his failure sends
him into camp exceedingly sorrowful
Many hunters have never seen this law
of the shorten shirt executed though it
is in fun force and effect. In the same
way one may never have seen a man
hanged, though affected by the laws pro
viding this punishment for certain Of
lenses. Some of the proceedings are very
