WRITING Lefty AND RIGHT.

Here Is an amusing little deception
That you may play upon unsuspecting
friends. Perhaps 1t would be more
correct to say that they play the trick
on themselves-which makes it all the
funnier. You tell them what to do
and it is not your fault that they dou't
know how to do it.
Give your victim a slip of stout writ.
ing paper and the stub of a soft, black
lead pencil, not very sharp. Ask them
to shut his eyes and lay the paper on
his forehead, holding it there with the
thumb and forefnger of his left hand,
one pressed to each temple, while the
palm of the hand covers his eyes. The
next thing he has to do is to write
his name on the paper with the pencil
held in his right hand. Writing is not
easy under such conditions, so no one
will expect the signature to be very
pretty or very legible, but everybody,
including the writer, will be surprised

to find it written Northumberland is,
if the victim has succeeded in writing
anything than can be made out at all.
Nine persons out of ten begin to write
at the left eyebrow and write toward
the right eyebrow. But this is not
really writing from left to write, IS
writing should be done, but from right
taken from the forehead and lalL on
the table it is turned end for end.
Does the writer make the mistake be-
cause he says to himself, Let me see,
now, l must begin at the left" and
therefore begins at the left eye? Prob
ably not, for if he stops to think he is
apt to write correctly. The trick is
most likely to succeed when the writ
ing is attempted impulsively, without
thinking. So you should not say any
thing about writing, or even show the
pencil, until the paper is held on the
forehead and the eyes closed. Then
slip the pencil into the persons hand
and tell him to write. The mistake is
Just one of those queer things In hui
man nature that nobody has yet ex
planned.
The precise directions about holding
the paper and the left hand mislead
the writer and make him more likely
to err, but their main object is tC
guard the eyes against a possible jail
with the pencil, and for similar rea
sons a short blunt pencil should b'
used.-People's Home Journal.
