Why Arc We Right-Handod'

How often does one hear fond mother saying "Right hand. dear" to a child who puts out a left In greeting or who nrefers to use lts left hand for holding n spoon or a knife Many wise doctors now advise mothers to allow their child rem to use either hands without any refer encc.
 Sir James Sawyer. NJ. D.. has probably hit upon the most plausible reason for the right-handedness of the human race. In those early days, he says, when those might take who had the power and those might keep who could. We were a fight ing people. and people who fought hand Co hand Naturally in this kind Of fight Ing it is more convenient to wield v'"a- non which can be used by one hand only. leaving the other hand and arm free for preserving balance. for defensive cov- crlng. and for offensive seizing
 Now. the right hand would naturally be used in preference to the left for welding a weapon. in order that the heart might rr kent as far away as possible from tho assault of an adversary. Hence. right handedness arose. and was passed on from father to son.
 Moreover. when men first fought to- getgether in companies they must soon have found that it was most convenient to handle their weapons in a uniform way. 1T some In a fighting company were rlght-handcd. and others were ieft-hand- cd. their weapons would be continually clashlng. Whether drilling or lighting the men would need more space Tor yielding their weapons. IT. on the other hand. each man used his sword or his stan with the same hand as his neigh bor employed. confusion would be mipi- mixed. and symmetrical appearance would be given to the martial body.

Look over the prize list for the coming

prize and n second prize are offered for
the best eSemplifcation OF the ritualistic
work of the uniform rank, and this will
tend to give those companies that cannot
enter for the drill prizes chance to win
for lodge works. The prizes offered by
the Detroit committee for subordinate
lodges are varied and handsome. and 1t
is evidently the object of Detroit Pyth-

sible from subordinate lodges.
