TURNING TO THE LETT.

That curious tendency of the hui
man species to turn from right to left
in walking, explained on the ground
that the right side of the body has
higher muscular development than
the left, has curious exempbhcation
in the city churches, says an usher in
one of the Fifth avenue churches.
"I have noticed for long time that
two out of every three strangers COM
ing to our church will make for the
left gallery. As there is no choice in
the galleries in respect to light, air or
comfort, this puzzled me. AT first
concluded it was chance, until the
proportion seemed beyond that. Then
/ studied the matter from the door
way and observed that those who do
go into the left gallery do so without
any pause or hesitation, as if it were
the natural thing to do, while the
strangers who take the right gallery
almost invariably teeter on the thres-
hold as if undetermined which way
to turn. This indicates plainly enough
that the turning to the left is a mat
ter of instinct.
