Show Which I. Tour Bight Hand? ' .n anatomist told me the other day that I could not tell him which was my right hand. I immediately held out my right hand, but he objected. He said that he did not say that I could not show or extend my right hand, but that I could not toll him which was my right hand that ia, that I could not describe it in words, so that one who had never heard of the distinction we make between be-tween the right and the left hands would be able to find it. I thought that would be easy enough also until I took time to think the matter over, then I" gave it up, for. on the outside of i the human body there is nothing to distinguish the right hand from the left No one can describe it in words so that ; an ignorant person (one not knowing the ! distinctions we make) can find and locate it.
