RIoHT.HANDEp - LEFT.LEeoED.
Popularity Of Humanity That 10 Not
Generally Considered.

Most people would think that as
man is, with very few exceptions,
"right-handed," he would be at the
same time "right-legged." But this Is
not the case. Almost every right
handed man uses his left leg more
than his right. For instance, most
people find 1t much more natural to
go round circles to the right than to
the left. That is because they start
with the left leg. Being stronger, II is
more readily brought into action, and
It Is IN this account that bodies Of
soldiery always start to march with
the left foot. Almost all courses for
foot races are made out for running
TO the right, and dancers will indorse
the statement that the majority Of
movements are ia more easily exc
cuted in this direction. The left foot
is the one that is place 4 the stir
rup for mounting hol Sc, and In
jumping, II is from the left foot that
the athlete takes Off" Thus It will
be seen that. as a general rule. right
handed" people are "left.legged."
