WHY We SHAKE HASDs AND KISS
learned Theban gives us the solution OF
the frequently coniectured problem.
10 the first place it is very old fashion
ed way Of indicating friendship "Jehu
said 10 Jehonadab rs thlne heart
glad mr. heart Is with thy heart II
i be give me thine hand. 1t is not
merely an old fashioned custom il is
a strictly natural one, and AS usual in
such cases, we may find physiological
reason II we only take the pains to
search for it. The animals cultivate
frienship by the sense Of touch as well
as by tho sense Of hearing and sight ;
and for this purpose they employ the
most sensitive parts Of thor bodies
They rub their noses together or they
lick one another with their tongues.
Now, the hand is part Of the human
body in which the sense OF touch is
highly developed and after the manner
Of animals, we not only like to see and
hear our friend We also like tc touch
him and promote the kindly feelings
by the contact and reciprocal pressure
OF the sensitive hands. Observe TOO,
how this principle is illustrated by an
other Of our modes OF greeting. When
we wish 10 determine.ifE6 substance be
perfectly smooth, and are not quite sat
isfied with the information conveyed by
the fingers, we apply IT to the lips and
rub it gently upon them We do so
because we know, by experience, that
the sense OF touch is much more acute
ly developed in the bps than in the
hands. Accordingly when we wish TO
reciprocate the warmer feelings we are
not content with the contact of the
hands, and we bring the lips into SER
vice. A shake Of hands for friendship,
is undemonstrative English at least /;
bnt kiss is token of more tender af-
fection

ADVANTAGES OF CRYISa. A French
physician publishes a long dissertation
on the advantages OF grooming and cry
ing in general, and especially duringI
surgical operations. He contends that
grooming and crying are two grand OPP
erations by which Nature allays anguish;
that those patients who give way to their
natural feelings more speedily recover
from accidents and operations than
those who suppose it unworthy for
man TO betray such symptoms of coward
ice as either to groan or cry. He tells
of man who reduced his pulse from
one hundred and twenty six to sixty in
the course Of few hours by giving full
vent to his emotions. II people are at
all unhappy about anything let them go
10 their rooms and comfort themselves
with loud boo-hoo, and they will feel
hundred per cent. better afterwarc.
In accordance with the above, crying of
children should not be too greatly dis
couraged III systematically repress-
ed the result may be st. Vitus's dance,
opileptic fits, or some other disease Of
the nervous system What is natural
is nearly always useful; and nothing can
be more natural than the crying Of chill
dren when anything occurs to give them
either physical or mental pain Prob
ably most people have experienced the
effect Of tears relieving great SORROW
II is eyed curious how the feelings are
allayed by their free indulgence in groans
and signs. Then let parents and friends
show more indulgence to noisy bursts
OF grief-on the part Of children as well
as Of older persons and regard tho eyes
and mouth as safety valves through
which Nature discharges her surplus
steam.
