Almost every right bunded tuau uses his left leg more than Ills right. # For instance, i?io.t people Hud it much more natural to go around circles to the right than to the left.

The whole of Ficton's line cheered tremendously, nud as the roar died invay Wellington was heard to remark half to himself: "Boult Is n cautious commander and will not attack in force without ascertaining the meaning of these cheers.
