Left Handed Children.

Professor +. W. Smedley of the child
study department Of the Chicago public
schools declares a connection between
right and left handedness and intellec-
tuality in children has been discovered
From experiments he is convinced that
right handed children are naturally the
brighter Pupils whose speech is af
fected and who find difficulty in artic-
ulation are most often left handed.
The explanation is this: The right
hand is controlled from the left side
Of the brain and the left hand from the
right side Of the brain. Speech is con-
trolled by the right side Of the brain.
The overdevelopment of one hand or
the other Is thought in this way to af
feet speech.
Professor Smedley is guarded in his
statements, saying that it will take q
long time to work out the problem, If
It is solved, of the connection between
the hand and the brain. He does not
believe that deXterity is directly con-
nected with intelligence, but that it is
noticeable through its effect upon
speech.
Il am not sure what we shall be able
to do with this knowledge when we
are more certain about it," said Pro
fessor Smedley. 1T should lead to dis
coveries Of methods IN the training Of
children which may be beneficial. At
present am inclined to advise parents
not to struggle with left handed chill
dren to make them right handed. There
is a physical reason why they have a
tendency that way."-Chicago Tribune.

ALLAH AND AMERICA.
A. Persian Legend About the Cren-
ror's Visit to Earth.

In Persia, Oh morning after the ver-
min had been particularly vigorous,
said something caustic about getting
back to Gods country. An Armenian
who had reposed in utter comfort in
the same Carayansary heard it and
smiled. Being an Armenian, he hated
the Persiaus, probably. incidentally
the Persian reciprocates.
Well, this Armenian, rubbing his
hands and with his head skcwed over
on one side, said: The Persians have a
legend for everything. They have a
legend for what you said just now. 1t
is this:
"Allah-that is God-once said to his
angel, 1 viii see this world which !
made
And so Allah and the angel descend
ed invisible In n cloud to the earth.
and the first place at which they ar
rived was FranCe-that is, in Eercn-
ghistan And there they saw the rail
roads, and the tramways, and the the
aters, and the great picture galleries.
And Allah looked in disappointment
and said: Alas, no! This Is not the
world which | made. l made none Of
these things.
$50 they journeyed to Inglezistan-
that is, England - and there were
mighty ships in the harbors and huge
mills which make all sorts Of things
and food in plenty. And again Allah
said: Alas, no, This is not the world
which made And everywhere they
travelled in the cloud Allah looked upon
the land and said. No; this is not it
"At last, in despair, the angel led the
way to Persia, and Allah sat himself
down upon a very high mountain, and,
looking far on every side, he saw mel
ther railroads nor tramways nor thea
ters nor picture galleries nor ships nor
mills nor schoolhOuses nor plenty to
eat.
"And Allah said: Yes, at last. This
Is the world which | made. Not a
thing is changed. The people whom
put there have done nothing"
why didn't he come to American
asked.
Sir" answered the Armenian, "in
Persia they had not even heard OF
America. y Harpcr's Weekly.

Character In Hair.

To read character in the hair, texture
as well as color must be observed. The
finer the hair the gentler the birth or the
higher the grade Of family stock. People
with hair as fine as silk are Of very re-
fined tastes, Of artistic temperament, but
inclined to be moody and changeable.
They are apt to be happy one day and
depressed the next, but cheerful spirits
predominate. They are easily influenced
by those they like. They usually reach
success In art, music or literature-Emer-
son and Longfellow, for instance-and
are fine managers, because they generally
possess energy and adaptability. Curly
hair means that the owner has inherent
grace and poetic ease Of the body. The
closer the ends Of the hair cling together
the more intellectually does the owner

STILL A FASHION LEADER.
What May BE Expected Sartorially
From Edward VII.

EDWARD VII.
"Will Edward VII continue to set the
fashions for men, or will that province
descend to his son, the present Duke Of
Cornwall and York;" was asked the
other evening in party Of gentlemen
who take a more or less vital interest
in matters sartorial.
One who is regarded as an authority
said: "The new king, Edward VII, will
be just as much an arbiter of fashion
now as he ever was. The dictatorship
of styles was never something that at
tached peculiarly to the title Of Prince
of Wales, but it fell naturally to Albert
Edward on account of his tempera-
ment Irrespective of his royal blood,
he was a born society leader, and up to
very recent years he has always taken
a lively interest in dress. So it goes
without saying that the tailors and de-
signers have looked to him for lead,
and it is mistake to suppose that he
has set the pace along only compara-
lively narrow line-merely for gar
ments, in other words, suitable to men
Of his build and bulk.
'Tn waistcoats, hats, canes, gloves,
ties and shoes he has practically made
the modes for the last quarter century,
and whatever he has appeared in has
been at once adjusted and adapted to
men of all ages and weight. His abso-
lutte supremacy in that field will be ad-
mitted, | think, by anybody who has
ever given the subject any attention.
The popular form Of high turnover
collar, which is worn almost universal
ly for business at present, was intro
duced by the then prince several years
ago, the link cuff was brought out by
him, and every innovation of any i'm
portance is traceable directly to that
source. A good illustration Of his in
genuity, by the way, is the small silk
loop by which the lapels of a frock coat
may be connected without buttoning,
thus giving a stout man a couple of
inches extra room, with no loss Of
snugness. That device was invented
by the king and is merely one detail
out of dozens that go to show the at
tention and study he gave to the sub
ject.
"As far as / have heard" continued
the speaker, "the Duke of York has
never exhibited the slightest interest
or talent in matters of dress, and on
more than one occasion he has actually
excited public comment by the care
lessness Of his attire. He sat for his
portrait recently in a frock coat and
tan shoes. SO l think it may be safely
asserted that Edward VII will contin-
ue to be monarch Of modes, and while
he cannot be expected to devote as
much thought to the topic as he did in
younger years he will still give general
direction TO all important masculine
fashion. New Orleans TimeS-Demo-
