AMB1DExTERITY TENDS TO CONFUSION
BY DIR. IRVING D. WITHOUT.

~HIS is faculty which. though use
full occasionally to the surgeon ana
the penman. requires a great deal OF
practice to become proficient in; and
among the manifold qualifications
which the present day physician Inust ac-
ouire and the attainment of which we'll
nigh overtaxes his physical and mental re-
sources, there are certainly Others more
useful and more desirable. Besides. there
are actually disadvantages in ambidexter-
fly, as when colleague skilled in this way
intimated that before doing a thing ne
wasted time wondering which hand be
should employ.
Sir James Crichton Browne. In a recent
discourse on Dexterity apd the Bend
Sinister before the Royal institution in
London, held that on large scale the
ability to use either hand equally well as
both hands is impossible and undesirable;
It is by the superior skill Of his right hand
that man has gotten himself the victory.
People have in all times used prefer
entalIy not only one but the same hand;
nor does Browne know OF any civilized race
manifsstlng any degree of either handed
ness. The statement that the japanese are
by law and practice ambidextrous is on
the authority OF Baron Komura without
foundation. Browne goes so far as 10 be-
lieve 1t doubtful whether. strictly speak
ing. complete ambidexterity appears In any
fully developed and civilized human being,

occur. But among idiots. Ia whom the

Bohemian" Gales and the Youno Tt1an.

- ITUATED in Chicago are a great
many cafes and restaurants Of the So
called bohemian, but better named
notorious. type. They extend ali over
the north. south. and west sides of
the city. and wherever they are their bad
influence is felt 70 q marked degree. The
particularly demoralizing effect OF these
places is due to the fact that they are not
confined TO the center Of town. but reach out
to our homes. and make it an easy matter
for our young men TO drop in for few
INMATES. especially Saturday nights.
There are many of these resorts. Take
the south side. FOR instance-they are almost
a scourge. Twenty-second. Thirty-first,
Thirty-fifth, Thirty-ninth, Fifty-hrst, Fiji
ty-hfth. and Sixty-third streets all have
their well known and popular cafes. Any
place where there is a spot Of wet terri
tory there is a bohemian cafe. There TO
the tune OF piano. violin. and drum some
comic characters scream out popular music
TO the delight OF the patrons Of the place.
In all these places the people seem the
same. There are two distinctive classes
that frequent those resorts. and one is a
forerunner of the other. The young work
ing fellow is out for good time Saturday
night. He knows he can sleep till noon the
next day. and is willing TO go as far as be
can. These noisy, brilliant cafes, with smoke
laden atmosphere, offer more chances
for excitement than the quiet respectable
restaurants with their good orchestras and
quiet crowds. These young men work all
l.
seek. With them are also the college and
high school students.
The other class nearly always met with Is
typihed by the man past his prime, accom-
panied by the young girl He comes here
to buy his wine because there IS the least
chance Of his being seen by people who
themselves and are hopeless.
1t is the young man Of otherwise good
habits of body and mind who is seriously
and permanently injured by constant asso-
citation with the bad element in these re-
sorts. They are the hangout place for the
worst of characters. Young men who have
gone far wrong in every way. but who stu
have left good appearance and remnants
OF good manners. frequent these resorts.
1t is this kind OF acquaintance which ruins.
The young man does not make friends with
his eyes shut. He IS not unscphisticated or
he would not be there at all. On the con-
trary the excitement and drink-for who
eats there?-get hold OF him and he is
ready TO make friends with the first per-
son who speaks 10 him In g spirit OF bo-
hemianism

tionaI differences in the two hands are con-
nected with differences in the two hemi-
spheres, and these are not OF weight or

there IS a cerebral onesidedness. assuredly
not due 70 using or to any acquired habit
or mechanical advantages. But the hand

we must therefore infer that the preferen-
;ial use Of the right mental involuntary
movements also is due 10 the leading par-
taken by the left hemisphere.
We would amend the conclusions Of
Browne by substituting for righthanded-
ness the term singlehandedness. There
are some among US who are more proficient
with the left hand than the right; nor ara
they either uncivilized or idiots. In their
case 1t simply means that the controlling
centers are on the right OF the brain and
not on the left side Otherwise we agree
that ambidextral culture, useful in respect

SPRING IN IRELAND.
By WALTER BEVERLEY CRANE.

Sweet spring. you are an Irish lass
And wearing of the green,
Your teweled feet run er the grass
And gems by all are seen;
Rare diamonds and emerslds
You leave behind, my queen;
The Seventeenth OF March will come
With wearing Of the green.
Thrice welcome, darling Of the year,
Sweet colleen Of the green.
The hearts of Irishmen you'll cheer
ST. Patriek's day, I ween.
Each son Of Erin loves you.
They hail you as their queen.
And all the world is happier
With wearing OF the green.
For the winter days are over
And we tread the breathing sod,
Irish soldier, Irish lover,
OF his country and his God,
To martial air these verses
As the colors bright are seen,
The colors Of old Ireland
