PEOPLE WHO ARE LEFT-HANDED.
Somo of the Advantages and Disadvan
tages Under Which They Labor.
Philadelphia News. ]
"The majority of people are right-
handed because they are traiued to be
so. "
This was the reply of a doctor to a
reporter who interrogated him on the
subject.
"c-overal theories have been advanced
why people are generally right-handed , "
continued the physician , "but with
what reason scientists have never taken
the trouble to demonstrate. Perhaps
that which would come nearest the
truth , if any law of nature were found
to govern dexterity , would bo that the
heart , being placed on the left side ,
the right side should bo used
with greater freedom. Another theory
is that the brain is weightier on the
right side than on the left. What-
e\er the causo may be , 1 find that those
in youth who have trained themselves
to using the left hand experience no
diiliculty or inconvenience. "When a
child is 'sinistrously' inclined and takes
to using the left hand by such natural
inclination , it is not because of any mal
formation or displacement of the heart
Or brain. Consequently I am led to j
the belief that it is all a matter of train
ing. "
Several other physicians who were
spoken to on the suoject cavo tho same
opinion. Inquiry of a number of left-
handed people confirmed tho statement
that no inconvenience resulted iromtho
use of the' left hand , but that on the
contrary they find it a positive advan
tage , inasmuch as that in numerous in
stances they become ambidexterous.
Persons who have much writing to do
are liable to "pen paralysis , " or
"writers' cramp , ' ' lasting sometimes
for weeks. Ordinarily , after several
hours' constant writing , the arm is very
much fatigued. Where a person can
write with both hands he can rest one ,
and if by any accident he should be
deprhcd of temporary or permanent
use of the hand he is accustomed to use
he will be able to "fall back" on the
other. In telegraphy likewise , where
an operator has to transmit or receive
long messages , he is subject to "telegra
phers' cramp. The work is laborious
and fatiguing , but when the operator
can use both hands he can not only
save himself much fatigue , but facilitate
the work.
fc'ome tradesmen who are left-handed
can command better wages than right-
handed men of equal ability. This is
shown in the case of a boiler-riveter
who , if left-handed , can work inside a
boiler without the awkwardness of a
right-handed man , and do superior
work. An engraver who uses both
hands can always command a position.
Smiths , carpenters , and other artisans
also derive much advantage from the
use of both hands , and none who hap
pen to bo left-handed experience any
inconvenience. A person who operates
a type-writer finds it necessary to use
both hands , and has to train himself to
it. when learning the instrument.
i'any tools are made which are in
tended to be used with the right hand
only , and can only be operated with
great awkwardness with the left hand.
This is said to also contribute toward
making a majority of people right-
handed. Notwithstanding all that can
be said in favor of the education of the
left hand , there is a powerful prejudice
against it , and left-handed people are
spoken of contemptuously.
In the western states a left-handed
man is usually said to be "south-
pawed. " In Luglaud the nickname i ?
"Kit , " and in Ireland it is used as a dis
tinctive appellation for the identifica
tion of particular persons , as "Shawn
na Kithogue" Left-handed John.
A London Fire Alarm.
[ Detroit Free Press. ]
In London you find at rare intervals
a red post of cast-iron that has a dial
at the top covered with plain glass and
behind the glass is a knob like a door
bell. There is a printed warning there
directed to you. It doesn't tell the
reader to postpone literary pursuits and
pull the knob as quick as he can , but it
places before him a formidable array of
penalties that will ensue if he happens
to be wrong in his idea that a fire is
breaking out. Newgate and the gal
lows yawn ahead of him.
If he is willing to take all chances he
has to break the glass and then risk
cutting an artery in getting at the knob.
How a Londoner breaks that glass I
have never been able to ascertain. There
is nothing on the street to do it with.
The probabilities are that he uses the
universal umbrella if he ever could
summon up courage to tamper with it.
"What really happens , however , is this :
The man who discovers a f.re doesn't
turn on an alarm , lie hunts up a
policeman at great loss of valuable
time , lie places his reasons for imagin
ing that a fire is breaking out before
thatoflicer and the policeman goes to the
nearest post , breaks the glass with his
club and pulls the alarm.
