The Right Arm and Left Foot.

The right arm is always little lar
ger than the left. but the left foot is
almost always larger than the right,
presumably because while nearly every
man uses his right arm to lift a weight
or strike blow he almost Invariably
kicks with his left foot, while the
lounger stands on his left leg and lets
his right fall easily, because he has
learned by experience that this is the
best attitude he can assume to prevent
lassitude and fatigue.
This constant bearing of the weight
on the left foot makes it wider than
the right, and 1t often happens that n
man who tries on shoe on the right
foot and gets close fit has to discard
the shoes altogether because he cannot
endure the pain caused by the tight
ness Of the left. If when riding on
the street car you will take the trouble
to notice, you will see that In laced
shoes the gap is much smaller on the
right foot than on the left. while with
button shoes the buttons have to be
set back ten times OH the left shoe to
once on the right.
