HAND LOSES ITS CUNN ING.
According to This Authority Dex-
terity of Most Human Beings
Ends at the Age of Forty.

The brain of a great man remains
in fine working order long after his
hands. directed by that brain, have
lost their dizziness. That is one of the
curious things of life. There are
plenty of instances of men who have
reached the allotted age of life con-
tinuing in the activities of the world
as long as those activities are of the
brain and not Of the hand. But the
mechanics highest skill is shown
when he is between the ages of so
and 49, After the latter age his hand
loses its cunning, but if his brain has
been taught to work he can continue
to labor and may even surpass the
earning power of his hand. After 40
the muscles do not respond nearly
as certainly and readily to the orders
and the willingness of the brain, and
mans handiwork begins to fall off
in its earning capacity Yet in the
case of the brain it is only after 40
that it really begins its best work
the work that endures and is called
famous long after the man has ceased
to be, says the New York Press.
A good instance of the early death
of manual activity is seen in the but
ton trade. A skillful button maker
in his prime. between 80 and 40 years
of age. can make 81 or $12 a week,
being in ivory an output each day on
his lathe of 6,240 buttons. When he
gets to be As years old if he can make
six or seven dollars a week he is
lucky, while 20 years later, even If he
still enjoys sound health and facul-
ties, all he can make is five dollars
week. In this trade. Of course. one
hand is used principally. In farming
or seafaring, or in some other voca-
tons in which the energy of the mus
Giles IS distributed equally over the
body. the physical activity does not
dwindle as soon, and sometimes in
these cases of equal development and
use Of the muscles the physical being
outlasts the mental, but these excep-
tional eases are not those of mechan
les in these days of division of labor.
