CLING TO OLD OBSERVANCE
People of Normandy Today, as for
Centuries, Delight in Their Little
Epiphany Cakes.
Norman cities and towns that have
for centuries perpetuated their quaint
observance of the Epiphany hake and
eat their little cakes with joyful
hearts. The custom is ancient and
charming, an affair of children and
colored lanterns parading the streets
of ancient towns and singing an an¬
cient song in piping voices; and where
they go, well-disposed citizens open
their doors and distribute cakes. Ex¬
cept in a few places the custom has
gradually gone out, but here and there
it continues, and carries with it the
odd and interesting history of the
Epiphany cakes. French bakers and
pastry cooks began making them at
least as long ago as 1700, and in those
days the family that bought a cake ate
of It and gave part of it to the chil¬
dren when they came singing the song
that has now become ancient. In 1713,
says the record, there was great dis¬
pute between the bakers and the pas¬
try cooks as to which had the right to
hake the Epiphany cakes; the grave
question was taken to the parliament
of Paris, which, after proper delibera¬
tion, decided in favor of the pastry
cooks. In 1740, one does not know
why, the privilege was taken away
from the pastry cooks and given the
bakers. Then in the time of the first
republic the festival was abolished; a
decree of the seventeenth Nivose,
year II, by which the revolutionary
determination for change designated
January 6, 1794, declared that the cus¬
tom commemorated the memory of the
“last tyrant,” Louis XVI. In 1801 the
festival and the cakes were legally
restored, and so the custom conies
down, here and there, into the twen¬
tieth century.
AS TO ORIGIN OF WOMAN
After the Biblical Story, Belief Held

Poetical.
The Ambidextrous.
The nrt of ambidexterity, or the us¬
age of both hands, is an extremely
practical accomplishment, and one in¬
volving not only mechanical skill, but
a certain amount of will and brain
power.
A society for the cultivation of the
left hand was started some time ngd
in London, but the scheme never
had sufficient backing to flourish.
Now the French Academy of Medi¬
cine is advocating that school children
be taught to write with the left hand
as well as the right.
One curious point concerns the cult
of the left hand, an eminent physician
having stated that it tends eventually
to increase lunacy. The notion has,
however, been contested by other medi¬
cal men. and the head master of Eton
suggests that the further usage of the
left hand develops certain organs of
the brain which otherwise lie dormant.
