The STRONGER Hand.

II you are right handed, then the
right hand Is stronger than the left. II
you are left handed the left hand will
be stronger. If you are truly ambidex-
trous the strength OF both hands will
be equal. The advantage Of one hand
over the other Is due to the greater eI-
ercise It may receive. All the muscles
Of our arms and legs are developed by
exercise, and their respective strength
viii be In accordance with their use
That the right hand Is stronger than
the left can be proved by discontinu-
ing the use Of the right arm for sew
eral weeks by tying It to the side of
your body. When you release the arm
you will find that much Of It's strength
IS gone and that now the left hand
Is stronger This applies to a right
handed person, and the test would
work the other way with a left handed
person This goes to show that the
strength OF hands and arms Is uncon-
sciously affected by the amount Of IA
tional exercise.-Exchange.

strntaasm Ysr.u, Psrfdy.

The laws Of war have always dis
tinguished sharply between stratagem
and perfdy. 1t is.a legitimate strata
gem to send bogus signals and tele-
graph messages and bogus dispatches
or newspapers, to be intercepted by the
enemy; to make use Of the enemy's
signals, bugle calls, watchwords and
words Of command or to ciothe the
men Of a single unit In the uniform Of
several units, so that the prisoners and
dead may give the idea Of large force.
On the other hand, it is perhdy to
take advantage of the enemy by de-
Hberate lying or deception when there
is a moral obligation to speak the
truth It would be perhdy, fer in
stance, to pretend an armistice when
none had been agreed on. to break o
suspension Of arms by surprise, to yio-
late a safe conduct or any other truce
or agreement. to fire on the enemy's
unif0rm.-London Opinion.

Quaint rules and customs regulated

the Overseers ordered that the presi'

students that commence that they pro

a student, judging 1t TO be sufficient
for that occasion" In 1893, the cor

the custom taken up In the college for
the commencers to have plum cake is
dishonorable to the college, not CRATE
ful to wise men and chargeable to the
parents Of the commencers, do there
fore put an end to that custom" In
1727 a private commencement was de-
termined upon and was observed for
several years, but was hot a success.
The laws OF 1874 provided that no
commencers shall have at his cham
bers any plum cake, plain cake or
