Striking Expressions.

From the disenchantments men are
constantly meeting, it might be ex-
pected that ideality would die out of
the world; but fortunately for the race
of mortals, fancy, no less than hope,
springs eternal in the human breast,
and we go on constructing unreal i'm
ages rs persistentlv Us if we had not
witnessed the demolition of myriads of
their predecessors. Perhaps in nothing
are our fancies more unlike the reality
than in the feelings we imagine TO arise
in the minds of men in supreme mo-
ments, the words we suppose heroes to
utter, the lofty sentiments we believe
inspired by those crises which try
mems souls. As matter of prosaic
fact, the truth probably is that these
times which try mems souls find men
much the same that they are upon Or
dinary occasions.
W. Clark Russell relates converse
tion with sailor who was wrecked on
the Godwins, in which, among other
things, he inquired:
'Did you encourage each other in
this awful stuationp"
"Well,n the tar replied, "the cook at
first kept singin' out, ''We're all
drownded men! Lord have mercy on
me!' and tho like of that, until the
cold took away his voice. l don't know
that there was any other sort of en-
couragement.
''And what were your feelings" the
writer inquired, hoping to elicit some
striking or noble sentiment, ''when the
brig took the ground and the water
washer over her?"
"My feelings? Why, that we was in
q bloomin' mess. That was my feel
ings."
"How did the prospect of death af-
feet vou-I mean the idea of being
swept into the black water and being
strangled there?"

Character in Hand-shaking.

The different modes of shaking hands
Will delineate human character better
than any other single act ean do. and
many peculiarities of different persons
may be noted in the performance of
this social custom.
Who would expect TO get a handsome
donaiion-or any donation at all-from
man who will rive two fingers TO be
shaken, and Keeps the others bent as
upon an etching palm?'
The hand coldly held out to be shak-
en- and drawn away again as soon as il
decently may be, indicates a cold, self
ish character, while the hand which
seeks yours cordially, and unwillingly
relinquishes its warm clasp, gives to-
ken of a warm disposition, and of a
heart full of sympathy for humanity.
How much that is in the heart can
be made TO express itself through the
agency of the fingers! Who. having
once experienced it, has ever forgotten
the feeling conveyed bv the elegant
pressure OF the hand from q dying
friend. when the tongue has ceased 10
speak?
A right hearty grasp of the hand in
dicates warmth and ardor, while 4 soft,
lax touch, without grasp, indicates
the opposite characteristics. In the
grasp of persons with large-hearted.
generous minds, there is ''whole-
soul" expression most refreshing and
acceptable to kindred spirits.
But when man presents you with u
few cold, clammy. lifeless fingers,
feeling very much like dead fish. and
expects you 10 do all the shaking, it
will naturally make you think of the
hospital and other cheerful things.
Contrary to this style there is habit
among rude class of giving your hand
q crushing grasp, which is often most
painful In these cases there may be
great kindness and ''strong" affec-
ton, but it is as crude as it is hearty.
If the grasp is warm. ardent and
vigorous, so is the disposition. II it is
cool, formal and without emotion, so
is the character. If it is magnetic and
animating, the disposition is the same.
As we shake hands, SO we feel, so we
are.
But why do we shake hands at all?
1t is very old-fashioned way of indi~
eating friendship. We read in the
bible that Jehu said to Jonadah:
''Is thy heart right, as my heart is
with thine heart? If it be, give me
thine hand"

How Watch Cases are Made.

4he man. great Improvements intro
duced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm
provements in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part of
silver case was made of several pieces of
metal soldered together, requiring great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
soitened the metal and gave it the pliability
of lead rather than the elasticity of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made
of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering soltensi it.
To test the superiority of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of 3 OF. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while case of same
weight of any other make will give enough
to break the crystal. The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

Ihe way IN winch the word 'Iady"
is used now was well illustrated in 8
little scene which actually occurred in
the vicinity of the market the other
day. There had been 8 disturbance on

nymph described it to the curious side
walk committee as follows: "'Ye're q
dirthy liar saws the lady as keeps the
apple-stand. Wild that the ould drunken
lady up with brick and tuhk her lick

The absurdity of pushing children
to answer. foolish, although pious
enough, questions, is illustrated by a
story told by Professor Blackie in Edin-
burgh. "Alittle boy at Presbyterian
examination, said the Professor, "was
asked, What's the meaning of regener-
ation?' oh, to be born again. he re-
piled. Quite right, Tommy. You're
a very good boy. Would you not like
to be born again?' Tommy hesitated,
but on being pressed for an answer,
said, No Why, Tommy? For fear
| might be born lassier he replied"

tion of those who play upon wind in

ment you play on?" Il blays der
