Gold Dollar DESIGN in Doubt.

Washington. Aug. 1.-the question
of the engraving on the one dollar gold
coins to be coined especially for the st.
Louis exposition has been considered
by the secretary of the treasury. 1t has
been suggested that part of them bear
the lkenesses of Mckinley and part
that of jefferson. as it is impossible to
get both of these likenesses on the
same coin. The reverse side of the coin
is to have a view of the exposition. With
the dates 1908 and 1903 The matter has
rot heen determined finally.

naming truant officers Will come UP at
the September meetings of the local

then. Any police officer. or constable
or any school officer may be a truant
officer under appointment Of the board,
and have the duty of arresting children
between the ages of and Ii who are
found not attending school and who
have no valid excuse for non-attend-

the school officers lists showing all
those between the ages of and II. so
that a check may be kept on them. The

piishment. They, more than any Others
reallze the real Importance OF II. Mcneil

may be mentioned as instances of men
VINO In the performance of their work
employed both hands equally
In Japan the children are taught to
write and draw with both hands at an
early age. 1t Is to that method, indeed,
that many attribute the superiority in
certain classes of Japanese art. The en-
tire arm is employed in drawing, and no
supporting device whatever is used. In
a similar manner the German scholars are
made to draw large circles and other fig
ures on the blackboard, first with one
hand. then with the other, and without
any brace on which to rest wrist or elbow
the whole arm thus being brought into
action.
Just why one employs the right arm In
so many things In preference to the left Is
a question which has not as yet received
a conclusive answer. The more common
ly accepted idea is that the habit is direct
~ due to the fact that a mother invaria-
bly, carries a child on her left arm so
that she. the carrier, may have the free
use of her right arm.
Then, again, there are those who saw
that the physiological construction of the
nerves and veins that enter the right arm
Is different to that of those which enter
the left one; the nerves and veins of the
right arm being more prominent. But, de-
spite the fact that an examination Of the
left arm OF a left-handed person reveals
the fact that his left arm contains more
prominent veins and nerves than his

right. it is, nevertheless. impossible to gay
whether the phenomenon noticed is the
effect Of the habit or the habit the effect
of the phenomenon.
The art of writing equally well with
both hands is one that should be cult
waited and acquired by every one Even a
slight accident to the right hand in
capacitates one nowadays from all man
ner of work, whereas. II the use of the
left hand were cultivated as it should be,
such misfortunes would lose much OF
their Inconvenience.
Slight practice will work wonders. Write
the alphabet through five times day
with your left hand for month. and at
the end OF that time you will be surprised
TO ind that you can write as we'll with
your left hand as with your right; and yet
that Is fact.
To sew with the left hand IS. OF course.
a somewhat more difficult task: but that.
too. can be overcome with constant prac-
tce. In fact, there Is not a thing which
we now do with our right hands alone
that we could not do with equal facility
with our left hands II we only practiced
q little.
