Left-Handers to the Right-Handers They Insist that There Is No Mental Superiority! in the Users of the Right Hand—Leit- Handed Baseball Players. If Weber & Fields were not about to bart company {t would have been well for them to have engaged a to write a pleco entitled Left Hander.” The question of whether a man who uses his left hand to write with, cat with, button his clothes with. his Parfare with, unlock doors with, wind his watch with and otherwise help himself along is inferior to his far more numerous brother who utilizes the right hand in the same direction is mentally a nine spot has created con- siderable discussion in the past week, Left handers and right handers have been writing to the papers about it and persons of alleged wisdom have at- tempted to explain why it is that some men and wor are left handed. Naturally he persons whose main hand ts the right being In the majority —the bulk of the testimony has been to the disadvantage of the left handed section, The right hand users have poured explanation of the left-hand habit into th pers and the ex- planations y. A pecullar fea- ture of the disc ssion is that not a sin- gle person addicted to the use of the Jeft hand has been able to explain why, Authorities Differ, That left-handed {individuals are as bright mentally as those habitually users of the right hand ts disputed by some authorities and from atistics it 1s impossible to gather figur to show the strength of thelr arguments, Un- doubtedly a list of men renowned tn all the industries, arts and professions who were and ure left handed could be compiled. It has been argued that the left- handed man is inferlor mentally to his brother of the right hand because if he had the will power he could use the right hand instead of the left. On the otehr hand, the left handers argue that the fact that they confront in- cessantly situations and appliances de- signed’ for right-handed persons cnd hold: thelr own in them ts evidence that they have superior mentality. In all shops the tools and machines are designed for the use of persons using tho right hand. Nevertheless the left-handed man has never been found wanting in the use of these same tools when equal brain power 1s considered. , Is jt not possible that his ability to| surmont an obstacle such as this argues| for better ability in his brain? Competent authorities agree that about cue person in every hundred ts) neiurally left handed. Probably half! bf these are ambidextrous. ‘There are | many men who use their left hands in| writing, but at table manipulate thelr| kolves and forks as men do who ure ‘the right hand exclusively, In the! Knowledge of the right-handed person Talk Up who writes this there are ball players who uso thelr loft arma Purpores and wio sign the! hotel re That the use of th can be cultivated has been shown In the baseball field. Players who have never done anything with their lett hands in their lives but allow them to act as understudes for thelr ri have been taught to bat left handed. It i# not unusual to find a player who uses his right hand for throwing to be what {s called a natural left-handed batter, The dieory has been advanced that the use of the left liand is promoted by mothers and nurses who carry thelr children on the left arm. This theory proceeds that the child being on the lett mother or nurse has its left and reaches with it, But the jent of the Bables” Hospital, the oflic f the Foundlings’ Home ana persons experienced in the care of babies explode the theory. “it it had a basis," saya the voun woman who has the care of the babl in the tnndequate Dustuing ut itty first ‘street and.

As the Good ¥riflay buns are said to keep for a twelve-month with- put turning mouldy some persons still hang up one or more in their Shouse as a “charm against evil." ‘Tradition bas handed down many tracings of the custom as far baci as the tine of Cecrops and to the offerings to Astarte, the Phoenician moon goddess “with crescent horns.” Later came the Jowish Passover cakes and the bread of the eucharist, or cross- marked waters, Some have sald that the eating of hot cross buns is traced back to a pag custom of worshipping the Queen of Heaven with cakes, but the custom has heen found tn other countries, even to China and Mexico. At one time these cakes were stamp- ed with horns in semblance of tho sacred heifer and called “bous," from we get “boun" and the short “bun. . An old superstition with regard to the baking of bread on Good Friday was that bread so baked was not to be eaten but saved until the next annl- versaty, a year thence. It was then used a% @ medicine, a few gratin of it being’ taken in water and admin- istered in cases of many illnesses, more particularly dlarrhcen, for which it 1 appeared to be a most certain cure. 1% ‘The hot cross bun of England and tn A our day 1s small and spicy and marked with @ cross, ‘The enormous sale on, Good Friday |f§ At Strictly Cash Prices. @ LIMATINEe HURTIG & SEAMON'S NEW LYCEUM Ye FR FE ( A a rr aa eset Hey | | LETTE 1 morning in London used to employ thousands of poor, young: and eld, who made it their bufiness to sell and dis- pono of hundred. of thousands of the Cope foxcxow) |) Only $1.00 a Week, g Ms HGR, BROADWAY Cee RA a ER F aro (EW YORK PHOTOGRAPHS from the tiniest miniature to a life size [National outfitting Co.) portrait + CapmmeT PHOTOS $8e PER Dozen visit Chelsea and ent of them CURE CATARRH wechnaate israeli leaieaelia ioe sa salaried hot bun in order to supply the demand baskets covered with flannel and white cloth were used by the venders to keep ever been in Lon- son has heard of bun were two noted y beeame e and " t did not Y itael? tn the time of Geores Tite ‘There: | fter the two noted houses Were kno yal dim. houses.
