fertunate In having an executive officer of
strength and nerve, and it is with satlsfac
tkm that ire contrast the general approval
of the course of the executive Kith the
equally general condemnation of the course
of the legislative branch. This Congress
has accomplished a few things worthy of
approval. It has redeemed the trade del
lar, fixed the presidential succession and
will probably provide for the national
defense ; it has called the attention of ng
land te the existence of an American back
bone, and endeavored te destroy the sur
plus ; but it has net dared te touch the
dangerous but vital question of taxation.
Certain leaders have been foolish and
audacious enough te proclaim the absurd
doctrine that if the taxes yield mere money
than the government wants, it must in-
crease its wants ; and en no account must
taxation be reduced because certain valu.
aye industries are supported by it. These
men claim the glory of having thus cut the

Royal Society of Canada, publishes In the
proceedings of that society an exhaustive
paper en iell-handedness. lie holds that
the general practice of using the right hand
is due te the superior development of the left
lobe of the brain wbish Is connected with
the right side of the body, and that the right
lobe is superior In cases of left-handed-ness.
Neither the ape nor any ethers of the
lower animals show a similar Inclination for
the special use of the right limbs. II is a
purely human attribute, and probably arose
gradually from the use, by the earliest races
of men, of the right arm in fighting, while
the left arm was reserved te cover the lelt
side of the body, where wounds, as their ex
perience showed, were most dangerous.
These who negleeted this precaution would
be most likely te be killed; and hence, in
the lapse of time, the natural survival would
make the human race In general 'right
handed,' with occasional reversions, of course
by 'atavism' te the left-handed, or, mere
properly, the ambidextrous condition.
