The Theory and Art of Handshaxing.

Why do we shake hands? No one ap-
pears to know. IL does not mean much, If
anything. Who has not suffered from the
strong and hearty grasp of, let us fondly
hope, ardent friendship, when our, per-
haps, ringed hand is wrung with fervors
Who has not suffered from the man who,
when you meet him, holds your hand as If
it were pump handle for ten minutes and
will not let go? Who has not suffered
from that other who will not hold on at all
but allows you to do the shaking process
for him? Who is unacquainted with the
man with the clammy hand? Why must
we shake hands with him? Yet we all do
it; we dislike it; we dislike it very much,
even; he sees we dislike it, that it is posi-
lively distasteful to us; yet, meet him to-
morrow, and out comes his hand once
more to ingulf your own.
An excellent English authority says that
the fieur des pois, the creme de la creme,
the quite too-too people, do not indulge in
this practice rs much as theupper and low
ser middle classes, for there every one
shakes hands with every one on entering
and leaving a room, on meeting in the
street and on saying "good morning."
s@'good night" or. "goodby."
1t is not for moment meant to say that
the grasp of hand is always a bore; not
at all. The gentle pressure and the unmis-
taxable grasp of love, that is handshaking;
but the vapid how dos of some of the
Young ladies' and gentlemen Of today, as,
with raised elbow, limp wrist and scarcely
pressing fingers, they give you sort of
horizontal shake in bored way, is absurd.
One of the most unpleasant persons to
shake hands with is the nervous man, who
cannot make ND his mind whether to shake
hands with you or not; who does not hold
out his hand when you offer yours; but the
anoment you have withdrawn, and pock-
e4ed your hand, stuffs his out, to be again
n>~rhaps Withdrawn again too soon for you
to ,satch and shake it. This specimen may
be G, usidered and classed with his twin
bore, tie person who does not know which
side of tie pavement he proposes passing
Won upon. .,ud who does a sort of imbecile,
lodging cavalier seul before you in an
agony of indedsion. There is only one
thing to be done with him, walk straight
at him, and youare safe.

How to Read the Tongne.

The perfectly healthy tongue is clean,
moist, lies loosely in the mouth, is round
at the edge and has no prominent papille,
says DIR. Julia II. Smith in the New York
Ledger, and then proceeds to interpret
other aspects of this small but mighty
member: The tongue may be furred from
local causes, or from sympathy with the
stomach, intestines or liver. The dry
tongue occurs most frequently in fever,
and indicates nervous prostration or de-
preston. A white tongue is diagnostic
simply of the feverish condition, with per-
haps sour stomach. When it is moist
and yellowish brown it shows disordered
digestion. Dry and brown indicate a
low state of the system, possibly typhoid.
When the tongue is dry, red and smooth,
look out for Inflammation, gastric or intes-
tinal. When the papille on the end of tho
tongue are raised and very red we call it
strawberry tongue, and that means scarlet
fever. Sharp pointed red tongue will hint
of brain irritation or Inflammation, and
yellow coating indicates liver derange-
ment.

INSOMNIA.

A Cure for sleepiessness and Weak Nerves
Which Anybody Can Try.
A most wretched lie-awake of thirty-five
years, who thought himself happy if he
could get twenty minutes sleep in twenty
four hours, says in regard TO his experience
with hot water as a cure for sleeplessness:
l took hot water, pint, comfortably hot,
one good hour before each of my three
meals, and one the last thing at night, nat
urally unmixed with anything else The
very first night | slept for three hours on
end, turned around and slept again till
morning. have faithfully and regularly
continued the hot water, and have never
had one bad night since. Pain gradually
lessened and went, the shattered nerves be-
came calm and strong, and instead of each
night being one long misery spent in
wearying for the morning they are all too
short for the sweet, refreshing sleep now
enjoy.

False Teeth Lengthen Life,

A dentist is quoted as follows: The
perfection to which the manufacture of
false teeth has been carried has practically
abolished old age-that is, old age in the
sense that | used to know it. You see
none Of the helpless, mumbling old men
and women that you formerly did. This is
not because people do not attain the age
their parents and grandparents reached,
but because the dentist has prevented some
of the most unpleasant consequences of ad-
vancing years. Men of seventy no longer
either look or feel old, because they are not
deprived of ofnourishing food at the time they
need it most Estimates have been made
showing that the average length of life has
been increased from four to six years by
the general use of false teeth.

The Beauty Sleep.

II you want to keep your beauty intact
have plenty of sleep. Want of proper rest
will age woman quite as much as anxiety.
A certain lady high in the social world
makes it a rule to stay in bed one day a
week in order to sleep off all feeling of fa-
tigue. Women who believe in the "beauty
Sleep" and get two hours sleep every night
before 10, manage to keep fresh and un-
wrinkled up to thirty-five. It's seven hours
for man, eight for a woman and nine for
a fool, according to the old saying; but
many ambitious women complain that they
have to do with six hours sleep, as their
social and other duties are so heavy. Wom-
en- can stand late hours better than girls.
Many women make it rule to have a nap
every afternoon.

years. lived in the Eighth and Eleventh
wards ever since being in the city," Tho
speaker was Mr.. W. T. Banks, policeman,
livingat 254 Webster avenue, this city. Then
continuing he said:
my troubles first prominently appeared
after 1 suffered from la Grippe year ago.
1 was affected before, but the grip aggra-
waited my troubles. Had dull pains in the
head. My nose was stopped up and the
mucus dropped into my throat. The buz-
zing in my ears prevented my hearing dis
tinctly when using the telephone in the
patrol boxes. had slight cough and pains
in the chest under the left arm, which would
shoot to the right shoulder, then back again.
/ could hardly speak above whisper. Had q
bloated and full feeling in the stomach all
the time. could not sleep from being so
short of breath. Now, under the careful and
judicious treatment of Drs. Copeland & Hall,
1 have improved in every way. My troubles
have ceased. 1 willingly recommend these
gentlemen. They did more for me than any
one else could do"
