don, 4. II. s., being in the chair, Prof
D. .. Cunningham, the lecturer for this
year, chose for his subject Right
H-andedness and Left B~rainedness =
He pointed out how it is evident that
as far back as we can trace man he wa
-preferentially right handed. Thus Dr
r. Lehmann-Nitsche had examined the
bones Of prehistoric men from South
ern Bavaria and had found that the
claEicle and the long bones of the right
upper LIMB were distinctly heavier
and more massive thanth correspond
ing bones Of the opposite side.
All the evidence at our disposal goes
TOT show that right-handedness is due
to q transmitted functional preemi-
hence Of the left brain and this func-
tional prominence was not a haphaz-
ard acquisition which had been picked
up during the lifetime Of the individual;
it rested upon some structural founda-
tion which was transmitted from par.
emf to offspring. Modern science,
then, if we have correctly interpreted
Prof. Cunningham's meaning, would
seem to show that there IS a distinc.
tion in nature Of the right hand. II
is undoubtedly the one by which most
delicate manual actions are performed
with one marked exception-namely
the lingering in the playing Of stringed
instruments, which r played with a
bow.
II, as Prof. Cunningham in referring
to the crossing of the motor impulses
says, sit thus came about that the left
cerebral hemisphere controlled and
regulated the muscles of the right side,
anu us AuhCtloHdl superiority over the
right hemisphere was indicated by the
s~ubservient position which the left
hand held with reference to the right
and the manner in which all manual
acts which required precision and
skill, all the movements which spe-
cially required the higher guidance OF
the brain, were performed by the right
hand"-if this be SO, how comes it that
the lingering Of a violin, which surely
is an act requiring the higher guidance
Of the brain, IS always, so far as we
know, performed by the left hand?

How to Help a Girl out OF n

osophieally mingled optimism and pes
simism in her view of the less assum-
ing half of humanity. She proceed
ed to illustrate her positions as fol-
lows:
THE other day I had to go down
town by myself. 1 am not So very
used to going down town, and there is
a preponderance of masculinity down
there that always scares me a little.
This time l went on the elevated, and
got off at Rector street. 1t was
about ten in the morning, and the
train and station were black with men.
''There was not a woman, a sister
woman, to be seen when the lace of my
skirt caught in something just as I
was leaving the car, and with a loud,
triumphant z-zip-p ripped off the ex-
tent of about two yards. There was
all this white stuff hanging and had
to get rid of it some way. / stepped
to one side and began trying to tear
the lace across, but it was as strong
as the sewing had proved weak, not a
thread of it would give. Every one of
the stream of men passing turned his
head to look at me struggle, and I
could feel my face crimson with ex.
ertion and modification.
That kind of a situation has a hash
eesh effect, and though it seemed like
hours, 1 suppose it was only a minute,
till a gentleman, busily talking to a
companion, passed close to me, and
hardly turning his eyes my way, held
out an opened pocketknife; then he
walked on very slowly and apparently
absorbed in conversation. 1t was the
work of a second to sever that lace,
roll it up in my bag and return him
his knife.
My gratitude was too deep to ex-
press itself in what the plays call the
smooth, hollow phrases of society
/ am not sure that 1 opened my lips,
but I am sure that / looked things un-

Nearly all of the metal working plants
in Pittsburg and vicinity are admirably
equipped with hospital annex for cases
that require speedy and prompt atten-
ton The distance of hospitals from
some of the works renders it possible
that an injured man is liable to expire
from exhaustion before he is admitted
to the institution To obviate this the
owners have fitted up room or build

be treated at once.

An ancient Talmudic legend relates
that Adam on his expulsion from para
disc encountered a cutting north wind
against which his scant girdle of hS
leaves proved poor protection. As he
wistfully cast his eyes over the desolate
plain of Shinar he perceived at great
distance a dead thorn bush. Running
thither he crOuchsd behind it. and While
still shivering he saw wild ass come
by. And Adam cried to the beast to lie
down alongside and keep him warm
But the ass spak out C-fOr asses some
times spake in those days as since
saith the commentator. and derided
him for not having warm coat of fur
WhereupOn Adam waXe1 wroth. anu
slew the ass with a piece of the thorn
tree. and with teeth and nails stripping
off the ass coat. wrapped it around HIM
self But toward noon the sun grow
ing hot and a scorching wind arising
Adam conceived the happy thought of
hanging the skin over the bush and re-
posing in the shade thereof. In was dons,
the tent was invented and civilization
began.-Outiug.

After dealing with the character and
extent of the evil, and measures adopt
ed for the restriction and control of
alien immigration in foreign countries
sioners report:
We do not think any case has been
established for the total exclusion of
such aliens. and it would be undesir-
able to throw unnecessary difficulties
in the way Of the entrance of foreign
ers generally into this country. But we
think that as to certain classes of i'm
migrants, especially from eastern
Europe, their entrance should be con-
trolled and regulated
The greatest evils produced are over
crowding in certain districts of London.
and the consequent displacement of the
native population. The commission
therefore recommends:
81. That the immigration of certain
classes of aliens into this country be
subjected to state control and regula-
ton.
So That department of immigra-
ton be established. either connected
with the board of trade and local gov

upon properly appointed officers to in

within the classes of undesirable, VIZ,
criminals. prostitutes. idiots, lunatics,
persons of VIGOROUSLY bad character, or
likely to become charge upon the pub

may be ordered by a court of summary
jurisdiction to leave this country, and
the owner of the vessel on which such
immigrant was brought to this country
may be ordered to. reeonvey him to the

They further recommended that where
the immigrant is found to be suffering
from infectious or loathsome diseases or
mental incapacity the medical officer
should have power to debar such immi-
grant from landing. and the shipowner

County Plans to Supply Poor With
Other Fuel

The county commissioners and Poor
Commissioner Hale are considering the
ACCESSIBILITY Of furnishing wood to the
INDECENT poor during the coming win
ter instead of coal.
The high price of coal means a large
increase in the county bill for coal and
the commissioners think that wood
may be cheaper. The commissioners
have an option on 300 cords of wood
If it is bought the county will have a
wood yard in charge of the poor com
missioner and the unemployed will be
given work this winter cutting wood
into stove lengths. This plan was tried
4 dozen years ago and was found to be
a good system.
