aud bis son George, aged forty, were
murdered yesterday 10 little roadside
barroOm kept by them at Browntown,

mans Club of Philadelphia has been
Investigating the now serious problem
OF why an immense and constantly i'm
crcasing number OF men IN America de-
sert their wives. II Is to the credit
OF tho native born American that the
wife descrters are largely from our for
elgn population. Significant it is, too,
that Or. Skidolsky names as among the
leading causes OF wife dosertion Large
families" The deduction seems to be
that since In American families there
are not so many children he husband
and father does not 80 often become
discouraged and abandon them. Dr.
Skilelsky knows of one chemically de-
serting husband vino leaves his wife
regularly on the birth of every addi-
tioual child IN order that public chari-
ty may bear the expenses OF the new
advent ON this planet. After the af-
fair Is all over the husband goes home
again The Philadelphia Womans
club has memorialized President Roose-
Welt on the subject Of wife desertion
but so far there appears to be no I'M
spired utterance from him I'm response.
II Is to be noted that Lady Henry
Somerset has come out in an earnest
appeal to all the world to begin Ia re-
gain the use of it's left hand. Re-
searches show that primitive man was
ambidextrous. The left lobe of the
brain governs the right side Of the body
and through overlooking and taxing
that left lobe by using only one hand
we have brought Oh serious brain and
nerve troubles.
Lady Henry mentions that queen Vie
toria could draw with the left hand as
well as the right and that Leonardo da
Nhcl could use either hand with equal
skin. The Japanese are many Of them
ambidextrous. We civilized white peo-
pie have deprived ourselves of half our
power by using only the right hand.
She suggests that school children
should be trained to employ both
hands in writing, drawing and other
exercises; also that grownups should
practice using the left hand

WOMEN THINK QUICKLY.

Tho controversy concerning the equal
Ivy of the sexes gives rise to many Gu
rious Investigations, most of which
produce interesting results. Recent re-
searches into the reasoning capacities
of the sexes has led to the promulga-
ton of the statement that women think
more rapidly than men
While many men will readily admit
that a woman secs through" certain
problems, or arrives at conclusions OF
an accurate character on various points,
more swiftly than man can come to
the same decision, they will not concede
that this Is done by quick reasoning.
They will say that 1t is intuition or
"woman's with other words, women
are born with a faculty for guessing
correctly,
II might well be argued that even IL
that were so, yet in itself that would
constitute point Of superiority How
ever, there is good cause for the denial
Of such a faculty These recent inves-
LEGATIONS, consisting OF observations and
of practical tests made on both sexes,
reveal the fact that this supposed in
tuition IS really very rapid process
of reasoning.
One set of tests is all that we can
mention here. ON number of cards
