Physical Peculiarities.

The right arm is always a little larger than the left, but the left foot is almost always larger than the right, presumably because, while nearly every man uses his right arm to lift a weight or strike a blow, he invariably kicks with his left foot, while the lounger stands on his left leg and lets his right fall easily, because he has learned by experience that this is the best attitude he can assume to prevent lassitude and fatigue. This constant bearing of the weight on the left foot makes it wider than the right, and it often happens that a man who tries on a shoe on the right foot and gets a close fit has to discard the shoes altogether because he cannot endure the pafiu caused by the tightness of the left. If, when riding on a street car, you will take the trouble to notice, you will see that in laced shoes the gap is smaller on the right foot than on the left, while on button shoes the buttons have to be set back ten times on the left shoe to once on the right.
