Character in Hand Shaking,


 A pretty good index to mans character is the way in which he shakes hands. There is your over-cordial and beaming friend, who grabs your helpless fingers in his great fist, and almost wrings them off in a grasp far more violent than the torturer's sentiments are sincere. This sort of a man will wiring in this way the hand of an acquaintance whom he doesn't care jot about, isn't likely to see again for year, and don't care If he doesn't. Then there is your limp, lifeless hand shaker, who responds to your own honest and mod crate grasp with set of digits that contain as much vim and friendship as link of cold sausages in pork butchers shop. You may, too, have run across the languid, lackadaisi-- cordiality by calmly profering you his left hand as he lolls back in his chair. This was practice greatly affected by railroad men in the old days when you could call on them fer pass without having interstate com merce law!" bawled into your earl
 But of all hand shaking horrors, preserve me from the man who possesses himself of your fist and fondles it affectionately in his own, wrapping it in his long, 1.-the fingers and pressing and stroking it for all the way from one to nine minutes You don't know what to do with such man, do youa You can't draw your hand away without offend ing him, and you can't submit to the applica- tion without cold chills crawling down your spine, On your choice betwixt the two evils will depend the length of the torture you en- dure when you meet the affectionate man gain.-Chicago Journal.

Americans a chivalrous Race.

The American men are chivalrous race. They respect women; they are the noblest men in the world. There are, to be sure, American savages One class who use the bowie knife, who drink like the hippopota- mus, play cards, fight duels, are wildly furi- ous, passionate, unsafe and desperate, there is another class who pretend to despise fash ion and etiquette, who dress like fiends, wear ing conglomerates of frock or coat and white tie in the evening; dress coat in the morning. They neither know nor care for etiquette and they think it is noble to be thus ignorant.
 But even these two classes have a respect for women. Their speech becomes decent, their manners kind and their excesses are re- strained if a woman approaches them It is a splendid national peculiarity. The London rough has no such soft spot. It is to be feared that the London man of fashion is not suffi- ciently imbued with it. As for the polite Frenchman, his external politeness toward the "beau sexe" is very marked when he wishes to propitiate them, but his contempt for them is equally marked when he does not His cruelty is enormous.-MrsJ John Sher wood.

How an Army Wa. Routed.


 It was way back in the fifties when "Alad- din" was having run at the old Bowery theatre that John Williams, now the property man at the Academy of Music, then a boy. conceived the idea of having some sport with the supers who composed the army of the Chinese emperor. Suspended over the center of the stage in those days was a property elephant, stuffed with straw and sawdust, and which, from long disuse, had become almost pulp from dry rot. When the army of supers were being maneuvered on the stage Williams slipped aloft and cut the ropes Down came the elephant and, bursting into a thousand fragments, completely enveloped the army in 8 cloud of dust, and straw. The supers were put to flight and the action of the play suspended for the moment. Search was made for the culprit but when found he pretended sleep and so stoutly denied his guilt as to carry conviction of his innocence. It was not until some months later the truth was known.-New York World,

The creation was, according to tradi-
ton, brought about in this wise. In the
dim ages of the past there existed a
Trinity who dwelt in space. Later came
other deities (Kami), with separate ex-
istences, and after seven generations
begOtten from them, the creation, which
was confined to Japan, was decided on
and carried through in six stages, al
most similar to those in our Pentateucfl,
the work being delegated to Isa-
nahi and his sister, Isanami.
From the goddess sprang GER
tain terrestrial deitles, among whom
were Ama-teraSu, the beautiful goddess
of the sun; IsukOyumi, the goddess of
the moon, and SuSanO, god of the wind.
A story which finds frequent illustra-
ton in japanese art is that of the quar-
rel between Amaterasu and her brother
and her consequent retirement tG a
cave, whence she was inveig!ed by the
dancing of goddess, variously named
Okame, OuZoume, or UZume. II is mar

Out of twenty or twenty-five pro-
fessionals interviewed by the reporter
as to the most prevalent SuperstitiOnS
among the dramatic people, all but one
or two said the most generally observed
superstition is the Macbeth musicTAAit,
must neither be sung, hummed nor
whistled outside of the performance.
says the Richmond State. A few months
ago the writer was passing hurriedly
along the street. when he met.
very handsome actress. She was
accompanied by a gentleman friend
whom the writer knew. Tlre lady's es-
cort stopped the writer and an introduce
ton followed. The lady was in a hurry
and SO was the reporter. (which is the
most prevalent superstition on the
Stage?" 1.-The Macbeth music, of
COURSE" the lady replied. And on they
passed, she going one way and the re-
porter another. ''But why did he ask
me that question:" the lady remarked
to her escort, who afterwards repeated
the conversation to the writer, when
the very thought of the Macbeth music
makes me Shudder." Referring to this
superstition a few nights since, Fred
Warde SAID: 1.-The Macbeth music
was composed soon after Shakespeare's
day by Matthew Locke. 1t is very fine
and many actors are thoroughly familiar
with it, but you can never get one to
sing bar of it off the stage. The SUI
perstitiOn that the person who sings or
huns it except in the performance will
meet with tragical fate is almost as
old as the music itself"
Other superstitiOns very generally OBJ
served among theatrical people all over
the world are these: The yellow clari-
net must never be allowed in the theater
orchestra. 1t brings bad luck. A dead
head must never be the first to enter
the theater. The tag (he last speech
of play must never be spoken at re-
hearsal. Thirteen people must never
be on the stage at the same time. The
number must be either greater or less
A crOsS-eyed man must never be seen
in the audience by the star of the com
pany.
''Some dramatic artists have supersti-
| tions peculiar to themselves" said Mr.

The RAILWAY WORLD.
The Fixing of Rates by the
500 Road Is Hurting
Chicago,
And Causes CONSERVATION in
the Minds Of Chicago
Dealers.
Another Cut Made by the
st. Paul Road Yes
terday.
There Is No Telling Where
the Fight Is Likely
to End.

The general cutting of rates Is having
a very serious effect indeed on the pro-
duce trade of Chicago, and this causes
the Tribune TO give forth the following
wall: The Pennsylvania, ii is under
stood, has decided to follow the example
of the Chicago d Grand Trunk and pro-
rate with the Northwestern lines on
flour and grain from st. Paul and Min
neapOliS TO seaboard points and also on
west-bound class freight. 1t is stated
that all other Eastern lines will follow
the example of the Pennsylvania and
Chicago Il Grand Trunk. As this action
will bring the rates from Minneapolis
and st. Paul very near to the Chicago
rates the effect will be badly democrat
izing TO the Chicago trade. 1t will
be especially disastrous for the
time being TO the produce trade
OF this city, as II Will be necessary
TO accept the same rates from all points
that can be called intermediate, leaving
Chicago ar great disadvantage. The
cut is all the more unkind as 1t comes at
time when il was hoped and promised
that the previously existing diScrlmlna-
tons should cease. For several weeks
past freight has been billed from RO-
chelle. Turner junction and some other
interior points to the SeabOard at Chi
cagO rates. while The freightS to those
places were low enough TO make the
system offer premium of about IL
cents per buShel to those shippers who
would give this city the gO-by.
This deplOrable condition of affairs is
altogether due 10 the righteousness of
the trunk lines. who refuse to reduce
Chicago rates To the East in order to en-
able them to continue TO exact their full
tariff proportions of the rates from Buff
falo east. The Chicago Il Grand Trunk
says that il did not join the Burlington
Il Northern in through tariff from st.
Paul and Minneapolis 10 injure Chicago,
but rather to protect this city, as much
of the Northwestern grain is being
shipped to and stored at Lake Superior
ports to take the lake lines after the
opening of navigation. Still, if the
through rates from Chicago were re-
duced, instead of reducing through
rates from the Northwest only, the same
result would be achieved and Chicago
local shippers would not be crowded out
of the business.
THE SITUATION IN ST. PAUL.
The boiling and bubbling of the rail
road fight has been transferred to Chi
cagO. where it is manifeSting great
deal of activity. Rates are being cut
now right and left by the Rock Island,
Milwaukee II st. Paul, the Burlington
& Quincy. and, worse than all, the fight
has extended from the Northwestern
and Western to the Southwestern roads.
Cuts are made, or were yesterday be-
ing made, every few minutes, so that
the city at the head of the lake was all
day in a great state of doubt. In st.
Paul everything was quiet, at least on
the outside. 1t is reported, however,
rates than those announced to the pub
lie.

The st. Paul Makes Another Cut
Southwestern Rates Democrat
lied.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE war in freight
rates instituted by the Chicago. Mil
waukee Il st. Paul railroad is the one
topic discussed in railway circles, and
agents are wondering what will come
next. AS First Assistant General
Freight Agent Knapp of the North
wsteern puts it, the business is democrat
lied at present, and | don't see how it
can be made worse" As these dis
patches indicated last night, the ST.
Paul made cut of , cents Oh all classes
of freight to Missouri river points. To-
day the same road announces further
cut of y cent on first class and cents
on second class TO Missouri river points.
This further cut was promptly met by
the Southwestern association, and the
Chicago IL Northwestern met it as far
as Council Bluffs and Omaha are con-
cerned. The latter road also met the
10-cent cut of the st. Paul to St. Paul
and Minneapolis. The Northwestern
people declare they are in the fight to
stay. As yet no steps have been taken
to stop the rate cutting.
Chairman Midgely, of the Southwest
ern association, says no meeting of
agents has been called yet TO consider
the situation. Following is the schedule
now being quoted to Missouri river
points: Class l, 371155; 2, 30; 3, "a; 4, 49,;
5. Il: a. 1715: b, IL; Z, Is: ID, Is; L, ID.
"There is little doubt that the present
freight war will be long and desperate
one" said Chairman Midgely, of the
Southwestern Railroad association,
to-day. mo propositions of settle
ment have been made nor would il be
of any use to make any at the present
time. There is no telling where this
fight will end. A fight of this character
is now an entirely different matter from
what it was few years ago. The rail
road extensions in the West and South
west have been so great that Eight like
the one now in progress will be far
reaching in its effects. Owing to the
relative geographical situations of st.
Paul, Omaha and Kansas City and the
operations of the interstate commerce
law this fight will demOraliZe all rates.
&d must involve the entire Northwest,
as well as the West and Southwest.
Further cuts are liable 10 be made at
any minute. / have received dispatches
from far Southwestern points meeting
the rate, with the usual differentialS,
from points connecting with Omaha,
Kansas City and st. Louis.
