PECULIARITIES OF THE COMMON
CUSTOM OF HAND-SHAKES.
,You May Know Your Man by the Way in
' Which He Extends His Hand—Some of
the Principal Methods Illustrated for
Guidance in Observation.
”When a man bows, or takes off his
hat, or shakes hands with another, by
the manner in which he performs any
one of these habitual signs of exterior
politeness you may discover his inter-
ior sentiments. Bowing, nodding, tak-
ing off one‘s hat or shaking a friend by
the hand is dumb language, but a very
significant one.
The various ways in which the above
movements are performed constitute
also by their physiognomical signs a
very rich language. In. the illustra-
tions“you see a man shaking hands
with two fingers. From him no gen-
erosity may be expected, especially
whenthe other fingers and the thumb
are bent inward. An egotist or hard-
hearted individual may be detected in
a man who gives a cold shake of the
hand and withdraws his unwelcome
paw as soon as possible.

UQDAHE. Ano AFFADLt‘:
You see also a hand that seeks your
own and shakes it warmly. It indi-
cates real sympathy for one’s fellow
creature. Remark the precise moment
the shake takes place. It seems as if
part of one’s heart has found its way
into the fingers. Then there is the
hand of a busy, active, good-hearted
individual. It is symbolical of warmth
and cordiality. On the contrary, there
is just the opposite sort of a hand-
shake, that of an effeminate man.
without much will power or force of
character. Another hand-shake is that
of a man who is in a bad state of
health. In all cases the owner of the
hand is indifferent to you. Urbanity
'and a truly affable character are easi—
ly indicated by a hand-shake. \Vheu
you feel such a grasp you may be
proud of your friend, for his shake
means: Be welcome and may God
‘nless you.
In the manner in which a man takes
off his hat, his character may likewise
be read. The proud-man will raise his
hat a little and will appear as if he
hardly perceived the person whom he
is saluting. The‘modest and humble
individual will not only uncover his
head completely; he will likewise bow
'and consider attentively the person
whom he passes.
Salutes of friendship are entirely
different from those of politeness and
social customs. The light-hearted,
thoughtless individual has a way of
noticing an acquaintance /not at all
like that of the thoughtful and serious
individual. A man who is always “rill
smiles” is false and hypocritical.
persons always wait until they have.
been saluted so as not to compromise
their dignity. A man of education or
a well-bred man displays evident
marks of gracefulness and wit and
much tact, in the way he raises his hat
to an acquaintance. '
The ill-bred individual and the vul-
gar fellow will never be able. to take
off his hat and bow with natural ease.
Perfect as he may hope to be, he is
ever ridiculous at one moment or oth-
er. If a, man bow without lowering
man of rank or at least one who has
been educated as such. A hypocrite
will overdo the salute and get his body
into such a position that at one mo-
ment or other of a salute his face will
disappear entirely from the view of
the person to whom he is bowing or
taking off his hat. ‘

DRESS REFORM SURE.
r'HI-zss BREOKLYN SOCIETY WOMEN
,MEAN IT.
[hey Propose to Wear Gowns that Will
Not Sweep the Streets Even if Their
Feet are ’Exhibited as a. Result—No
Bustles or Superfluous Ornamentation.
Fifty-five young women of Brooklyn
met recently and completed the organ-
ization of the Dress Culture Club, a
woman’s association pledged to com-
bat the promised restoration of the
bustle and pull-back gown in vogue a
decade or so ago, and labor to bring
about a reform in the fashion of the
street gowns now worn by fashion—
able .women in favor of gowns that
shall not touch the ground at all.
All the women present wore lace or
button shoes with low, flat heels and
ample soles. Many wore high-topped
bicycle shoes with the same style of
low flat heel. After a lively discussion
the‘members all agreed never again to
wear a shoe with a high heel no mat-
ter whether fashion should favor it or
'not. It was voted that the high heel
made walking disagreeable and often
painful, and that it was liable .to bring
about deformity of the foot, and espe-
cially to destroy the artistic formation
of the toes. I
Mrs. Lumsdon, who is an artist of
note and president of the club, direct-l
ed attention to a clause in the pledge
requiring the members to wear short!
ened dresses in public. The clause
stipulates that the club walking dress
for fair weather shall be three inches
from the ground at the lowest point,
and the gown worn in rainy or snowy
weather shall be at least six inches
from the walk at its lowest part. Mrs.
Lumsdon made a speech in favor of
the new style of garment. a
Mrs. Lumsdon then exhibited a num-
ber of drawings made from fashion
plates, showing the absurdities of the
pull-back, the Grecian bend, and espe-
cially the garment that was fashion-
able in 1780. This was a dress very
high in the front, reaching to a point
between the calf and the ankle, but
with a heavy and long sweeping train
behind. .
t: “We propose,” added Mrs. Lumsdon,
“to- do away altogether with the
‘street-sweeping’ garment of the pres-
ent day, which is as objectionable in‘
its way as the gown of 1780, and'sub-
stitute a gown that will be a happy
mean between the two extremes, at
once becomingand comfortable. Our
justification for adopting the proposed
reform dress is that anything that in-
terferes with ease and comfort cannot
be beautiful to the artistic eye, and is
ofiensive to the art stic sense.”
A member said that she feared that
her feet were too large to permit her
to wear the short rainy dress costume.
President Lumsdon stooped down and
measured the foot of the objecting
member.
“Your foot is really two inches
short,” exclaimed the woman artist.
“You - forget that the classic and
proper length of the female foot is the
distance betwoen the wrist and the el-
bow.”
There was a great deal of fun over
the proposal to fine members found
wearing street-sweeping dresses out of
doors. Some of the members declared
that their husbands might object to
their going on Sundays in their short-
ened walking dresses. It was finally
voted that the wearing of the new cos-
tume could be abandoned on Sundays
whenever there was objection from the
“head of the house.”

when a man found
he had consump-
tion, he gave up immediately. Consump-
tion was considered a necessarily fatal dis-
ease. It was considered incurable. As soon
as it developed enough so that aphysician
could decide thatitjwas really consumption,
the patient was considered as good as dead.
Years ago, Dr. Pierce found out that con-
sumption was not incurable, that it was not
necessarily fatal. He not only found this
out, but he found out a way to cure con-
He introduced his “G01deu
Medical Discovery.” The “Discovery”
will cure 98 per cent. of all cases of con-
sumption if it is taken according to direc-
tions. Consumption is a disease of the
blood. It is caused by im overishment of
the blood, and by the exis ence of disease-
germs in the system. If the body is per-
fectly strong and healthy, and the blood
perfectly pure, germs are easily thrown off.
If the body is weak, if the tissues are in-
capable of much resistance, the germs find
a resting place and develop. That’s the
way consumption begins.
The “ Golden Medical Discovery ”
searches out~ the germs, forces them out
of the system and cures consumption and
other kindred diseases of the throat, bron-
chia and lungs. No doubt about it, no ues-
tion about it. It has done it in hun reds
and thousands of cases. The “Discovery”
is sold at drug stores.

,FURNISS 0N PARKHURST.
England's Most Celebrated Caricaturist
Hears the Doctor Preach.
If Dr. Parkhurst delivered a sermon
in place of reading an essay, he would
be an effective speaker. As it is, he
strikes the stranger as a sincere thinks
er rather than a spontaneous orator,
depends too much on the midnight oil
in place of midday inspiration, and
sacrifices theindescribable but absolute-
ly necessary magnetism between the
speaker and his hearers for the elec- _
tric light of the reader’s desk. This
hideous roll of light, which acts as a
barrier between the speaker and the
listener, is not only the cause of de-
stroying oratory, but also picturesque-

but illumine his eye and develop hi‘

light from below distorts the features
and darkens, if not obliterates, the up-

paint to counterbalance the footlight
effect. Charles Dickens is probably
the only public reader who sought the
hare’s foot and carmine to insure jus-
tice to his features, but in my experi-
ence Dr. Parkhurst is the only pulpit
orator who speaks over a “chin” light.

Her Ten-Word Message.
Before leaving for St. Louis Mr.
Blodgett instructed his wife to not
exceed ten words in any message she
might desire to send him during his ab
sence.
He had been there three days and
had pushed his schemes so energetically
that a meeting with several gentlemen
at the Planters’ Hotel on the evening
of the fourth day would, in all proba-
bility, bring the deal to a successful
issue. Several hours before the time
of his appointment he received a tele-
gram from Mrs. Blodgett; It read:
“Fire Sam frightened Joey badly
hurt no one escaped uninjured.”
Mr. Blodgetf pored over the unpunc-
tuated message for several minutes. It
was a decided puzzle. At last his anx-
ious mind evolved this out of the
chaos:
“Fire. Sam frightened. Joey badly
hurt. No one escaped uninjured.”
Then his fatherly heart was troubled
at the thought of his little boy’s lying
at death’s door, and the wife of his
manhood passing into eternity without
his being there. He hastily scribbled
notes ,of explanation to his business
associates and took the first train for
C hicagc.
His pulse throbbed wildly and tears
consul down his checks as he neared
his home, and when he saw that the
house, at least externally, was not
damaged, a prayer of thanksgiving as-
cended on high and he hoped things
were not quite so bad as represented.
He let himself in and hurried upstairs.
His wife was in her room. He clasped
her in his arms and wept aloud.
“Thank heaven you are not badly
hurt,” he cried. “\Vhere are the chil-
dren?”
“Out in the yard playing,” she said.
“Why, what on earth ails you?”
“Out playing so soon?” he said.
“What did you mean by this?” and he
gave her the telegram.
“Why, just what it says,” she re~
plied. “ ‘Fire. Sam frightened Joey
badly. Hurt no one. Escaped unin-
jured.’ lf I hadn’t wished to confine
myself to ten words I should have said
that the fire was around the corner,
that Sam frightened Joey with a new
false face. and that all escaped unin-
jured. but I had to leave out words. I
though: you‘d understand it all right.”
