Right and Left Handed.


 A college professor has figured 1t out that if you are left handed it is a sign that your ancestors were not good fighters, says the Kansas City Journal.
 "Most persons are right handed" says he. ''Only one in every twenty is left handed. Why are people right handed? They may have been born tbat way. it is true. but why?
 Away back in the beginning the chief occupation of man was fighting. Jn battle he carried shield in one hand and weapon in the other. It was not much work to carry the shield. but the quick action required by the hand and arm which did the fighting soon developed that arm. It also developed the nerves and the half of the brain that governed the right side of the body. Those who shield ed their left side. thus protecting the heart. were the ones who usually came out victorious. Down through the ages this selection continued. the right hand gradually becoming more proficient"

Barbers In the Orient.

In the east the barber plays a very important part in the social system. The shaving of the head is still prac- tised among Mohammedans. just as it was by the Israelites in the days of long ago.
 The first time boys head is shaved. usually at the age of three or four. the operation becomes quite ceremony. Prayers from the Koran are chanted and goat is tremendously slain. which seems to be rather unfortunate. from the goats point of view. The barber of the east wears long. smock- like garment. and round his waist he fastens towel. Depending from waist to feet is the razor strop. When the shaving of customer is completed. the barber, with bow. presents him with a hand glass. No Moslem. how ever. will look into glass without first invoking the name of the prophet. for fear he might look on his own fea- lures with undue admiration. As he returns the glass to the barber the piece of money in payment is placed upon it.
