SocIety.s salutes and Gesturcs

Some of the attitudes of certain youug
men end women strongly resemble those
we see IN extreme exhaustion, hysteria
and st. Nitus' dance. Thus we may men
tlon as examples: Heads inclined to one
side, Symmetrical posture of the spine,
hands all balanced and contracted in the
palm, with the fingers bent backward.
Ladies in the drawing room will some
times assume pastures the very counter
part of those seen in chorea, while q Ian
gushing mode is thought to indicate es-
tnetlc refinement. What shall we say
about the habit of dressing the hair SO as
to cover the forehead, the bulwark of the
brain, and making all expression in the
hands, which should be opponents of the
mental state, by perpetually carry ing an
opera hat, fan or flowers? We might
further dwell on a cultivated monOtoEous
drawl OF voice, with falsettO pitch, with
absence of expression, power and energy
in all the movements, the eyes being half
open and not directed toward the person
addressed,
A certain school Of modern art seems
to lend much favor to this sort of thing.
1t has been SAID that man should dress
with care and attention, for the first i'm
preston made on meeting q stranger is
to some degree produced by dress; to
much greater tx ent does the carriage and
the mode of salute make an impression
The method should be manly. The sa-
Lutte should indicate the impression pro-
ouced by the meeting; of course it should
be under control-uever too cold or too
effusive-but that does not Justify a pure
ly artificial method, meaning nothing
Shaking hands is often used as Tledge
OF coutracC, but then it must express til e
mental state. The unwhOIesome mode of
gesture we have referred to is much on
a par with talking slang and the fictitious
representations of life given in some
novels.-British Medical journal.

BREATRING UNDER WATER


Famous Divers Remarkable Feat Explained
The length OF time which a person can
live under water without the aid of any
GIVING apparatus is question in dispute
among scientific men. Some travellers
have told marvellous stories of the natives
of eastern countries who were able to stay
ten or fifteen minutes under water, but
there can be no doubt that these are alb
surd exaggerations. 1t is well known
that the ordinary divers for coral sponge,
and pearl oysters do not remain unser
more than two minutes, and the men fl h.
who exhibit in the museums do not ex-
coed two minutes and half.
The doctors differ in their opinions as
to the time at which death comes in
drowning. Some say in three minutes,
Others IN five, but none Set longer time
than this, except the drowning person
falnts when spiration ceases.
Frenchman named Macassagpe has
been for some time studying this sub
iect, and the result of his experiments
and observations are given in The Revue
Sclentlhqu2. The man upon whom he
experimental was famous Hungarian
s"lumer named James, who, among other
exploits, once swan from Calais 10 Doy-
four minutes and fourteen seconds.
Before diving, it was observed that he
first expelled all the air from his lungs
and then took long breath. After he
had been ulder water for a minute his
heart beats become slow, Irregular and
feeble. After Two minutes and thirty
seven seconds there was a rush of blood
to the head, and his eyes appeared sunk
en-. Still he continued to breathe amply
and regularly at the rate of twenty res
plratons minute, while at the same time
the observer noticed that the abdominal
cavity diminished greatly in size.
NJ. Lacassagne believes from this, and
from the fact that James was continually
swallowing his saliva, that in drawing the
long breath at first he swallowed a GUAM
tity of air, and that, the Ordinary respira-
tory chanEels being closed he takes into
his lungs the air contained in his stom-
ach, and from thence again taken some.
what purified into his lungs. That is, ia
other words, he makes of his stomach
reservoir for air fact which, if true,
will account for his ability to remain for
such an extraordinary time under water.
The process, which the diver PERFORMS in
stincGvely and mechanically, NJ. Lacas-
sagne believes can and should be learned
by all swimmers, as giving them far
greater endErance under the surface than
they now possess.

A Model Frenchman.

President Garnet is a good husband, G
good father, and good son. For years
1t has been his custom to spend every
Sunday afternoon with his father, who is
dean of the senate. Yesterday, as usual
the old man received q visit of his son
and grandchildren. The scene at Yer
sailles after the election was one of the
most touching ever witnessed between c
father and son.
When NJ. Sadi Carnot knew that his
name would be called president to the re-
public he was overcome with emotion,
left the hall of congress" and threw him
self upon an armchair in one of the
solons of the place. Here thinking him
self alone, he burst into tears, whom sud
denly he felt himself taken in someone's
arms, kissed on forehead and cheek, and
soothed as one would soothe child.
The father had quietly left his brother
senators and come TO rejoice with his 10y,
of whom he is SO proud. Not a single
word was spoken for some seconds. At
last the father sobbed: "You can imagine
my Joy, my dear, dear child" The first
words of the new president were: "You

Boston Tran-crIDt

/
| 1t ought to be the special pride of every
! New Highlander that here, and | believe
here alone, we use the letter "a" as it Is
used in the mother country. The pro,
nuuciation of the letter in other parts OF
the United States Is simply provincial
ism, growing out of the long separation
of the people from the mother country,
which has produced certain changes in
the original language.
Apart from the question of the long
! or the short "a,'' l think there is no
! doubt that we of New England have ke,t
our language purer than in any other
| part OF the country. In New York State
on the contrary | should say, having
| lieved there for many years, that the
language has become more changed than
| any where else in the Union. This IL
\ said to be owing to the original Dutch
| elements in the State, whose influence up
on the present speech of the people is
| still to be traced especially in that peculi-
| arity which Mr.. Howells has lately re-
| ferred to in April Hopes" namely, the
/ curious pronunciation of the vowel be-
| fore ''r." 1t is nearly impossible to give
the sound by spelling, but MIR. HoHells
very nearly doe. So when he puts into
Mis- Anderson's mouth the word ''chuych."
| Such words as bird, learn, work." ell
have this queer little sound In the mouths
of most New York people. Then there
is the clipping of words, as ''mount'n,
ribb'n, int'rest.'i
A friend of mine, for instance, being
asked by New Yorker whether he knew
"Lowel, the pote," was obliged to have
the question repeated before he under
stood that 1t was our poet Lowell who
was referred to- AS to Mr.. Howells, his
pleasant sounding name must deg generate
INTO Howl" when he is spoken of IN New
York
Another popularity of New York pro-
nuncistion is the turning of the sound of
ar" into ''or" as ChorIey, and por and
NOR for ma and pa, and what Is perhaps,
worst of all TO New England ears, there
Is the frequent change of "et' or lit
into ''ut.n The sentence, "Alice found

A Fools Wisdom i.
ST Paul GlGbe

Baron F is German nobleman,
who iucognito has been the guest of ST.
Paul friends for a month past. He is a
naughty Saxon potentate, with the usual
idea of visiting foreigners that America
was created for their particular amuse-
ment. The family with whom the baron
has stopped have man and maid servant.
The former every morning, half an hour
before breakfast knocks ct the doors of
the sleeping chambers and rouses- the
occupants. l wrote that he knocked" at
the doors, but kicked" would have been
more truthful. The first time that he
thus awakened the baron, the latter
astounded at such a hulls baloo, rushed
TO his door, dashed out in his night shirt,
and, seizing the frightened nenIal threw
him downstairs. The family passed the
little incident over without notice, sooth-
ing the servant as best they could. The
next morning the girl vas sent to awake
the baron, and with remarkable lack of
foresight she clicked" on his door He
was expecting it, evidently, for the door
under the push of her toe opened, and
the baron from ;he inside deluged her
with q basin of water. After that he
told his entertainers that servants ought
TO be ladies and gentlemen as well as
their employers, and that when they
kicked MS door he proposed to cure
them of rude manners with practical
