hastily judged, for her manner proclaims that her character as yet is not formed and matured to the icy cold dame, the fckle and insincere ape.
 The man who shakes your hand vio- lently up and down, then drops it with an air of having done his duty, suggests such thoughts as molded into words might say: ''Therel Don't say didn't shake hands with you, whatever else you may say," and thus the fact that he mis- trusts you is implied.
 The handshaking of the man who, by prolonged pressure, causes uneasiness should probably be read an overweaning ;ety that you should not underestimate his friendship. Such a man may be set down as a victim to conceit, but con- sciously lacking the fuel on which to feed his master.
 The nasty snatch, and still more hasty fingaway, is preferable to either of these modes, for it betrays a self reliant spirit and a happy indifference to good or bad repute. The man with this method of hand shaking is at least no hypocrite, and that is as near as most men come to hon. esty.
 The absurd practice of giving one or two fingers only always seems 8 deliber- ate insult, and is doubtless so translated by all students of handshaking. It is a glaring proof of ittleness. The heart and mind may be judged to be propor- tionate with the part proffered.
 The method of shaking hands adopted by great men has often been described, although modern interviewers systemat- icahy ignore this and give preference to minute details~of dress and immediate urroundings.-NewY York Times.

 At daybreak they find boatman, who rows her some distance, the old man leaving her at the river bank. God speed your he said, but she thinks only of reaching Ivan, and scarcely looks at the pathetic figure waving his tattered hat at her from the shore. Her hands were clasp~l ill her lap. Something like 8 smile lowered round her mouth. Once when they were very near the shore some women came down to the waters edge with some red eyed children. They peered at her curiously, and one of them tossed piece of bread to her. They thought she was beggar, her clothes were so ragged, and her golden hair was so rough.
 She dares not inquire for Ivan at Bere- gov, but silently searches for him. She feels satisfied. at last that he has left the village, and finding a boatman to take her to Obdorsk gives him more gold than he has seen for many day. How her head throbs, and the trees seem to be dancing before her eyes. Strange to say, they are very kind to her at the quiet Ob- dorsk inn-she seeks the most unpreten- tious one. They nurse her with rough tenderness for days. She talks incessant- ly of Ivan, but her language is strange to them, and they do not understand In her delirium she rises from her bed and wanders along the coast, calling feehly for Ivan, sinking down ill the sand atlast from weakness. When she awakens, she finds Ivan's arms around her.
 "Alba, what are you doing herey
 She tells him how she has searched for him.
 "And you did this for me? My dar- ling! How can l love you enoughi Off there with the convicts I thought of you many times and longed for one love look from your blue eyes, but I never expect. ed to see them again. And lying in the snow, when they left me for dead, I, too, thought for ;t time that death was very near and I should never again feel your kiss on my lips"
 Then he told her how after the train had left him he had revived, as it would seem, by a miracle, and had dragged him. self to g hut, where he was nursed until he was able to keep on. Even now his wounds were not entirely healed.
 The ships passing looked like great white birds in the distance. One stopped, It was only a freight ship going to Alas ka, but they kindly allowed the fugitives to board her, and as they steamed away from the country that they feared and hated they felt a load lifted from their weary, burdened hearts.
 It was not until long afterward, in their peaceful American home, that Alba heard the full story of Ivans terrible sufferings in reaching Obdorsk. Emma Rebekah Rice in Romance.

Her Chat With the Emneror.

Mrs. Flyer had just returned from Europe. Of course the ''W oman's club' was eagerly watching for her arrival, and just as soon as she got back a recep- tion was rendered to her. The room was crowded, and Mrs. Flyer became the center of group of interested listeners. Everybody wanted to know just what she had done and how she had done it., whether she got her gloves and silks in all right. etc. At last Miss Perkins said, ''And did you go to Berlin?"
 "Oh, yes. And really did have the most delightful time. was at a recep- tion one night and met the emperor
 There was silence. The magnitude of the thing astonished the club. But curiosity conquered, and Mrs. Flyer went on:
 '.Yes, he was there with all his officers. and l did have such a delightful conver- sation with him."
 "Oh, tell us about it. Did you talk long?"
 ''No, you see my German isn't very good, and I was little bit flustered, sol only asked him question or two"
 ''And what did you say?"

A LADY BARBER.
The Gentler Sex the Finest Tonsorial
 Artists.


 TIE BEST REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ART IN THIS CoUNTRY.-SoME THINGS SHE HAS TO SAY WHICH MAKE INTERESTING READING.
 If there is anything which woman is calculated to do better than man, it is in the care of and attention to the hair. Her natural skill and taste make her pre- eminently mans superior. This explains the great popularity of Mrs. c. V. Went worth, who stands easily the foremost tonsorial artist in this country.
 Seen at her tonsorial parlors, at Main street, Waterville, Me-. she said :
 .'I am well and strong again now. For the past two years my health has been so poor could not do my work, could not walk across the room, in fact. got so feeble that the best doctors in this city said if 1 went to sleep on my left side would never waken again.
 I heard of Dr. Greens Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and thought would try it, and when had taken one bottle was very mnch better. Ihave taken four bottles of this remarkable medicine and it has done me more good than any medi- cine I ever took.

The singular thing is that all the doc- tors in the city gave Mrs. Wentworth up as incurable, saying that she could not possibly live. Now that they have seen the wonders performed by this great and valuable medicine, there is no doubt that they are prescribing and giving Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve reme- dy for every disease It certainly cures more diseases than any other remedy ev- CT discovered, and physicians and drug gists are recommending it all over the country as the best of all medicines the ideal remedy, in fact, to inyigorate the blood, strengthen the nerves, and start up healthy action of the liver, kidneys, and bowels.
 Use this remedy now and it will make you strong and well-in fact put you in perfect health again. It is purely veteta- ble and harmless, and druggists keep it for $1. It is the prescription and discov- cry of that famous physician, Dr. Greene of B west 14th-st., New York, the suc- cessful specialist in curing all forms of nervous and chronic diseases, and he can be consulted free, personally or by letter.

Ingenious Methods of smuggling.


 Some very ingenious methods are em- ployed for transmitting dutiable articles by post. Not very long ago package from Germany was found to contain 8 small roll of butter. A wire passed through it met with an obstruction, which proved to Ee a tin box filled with valuable jewelry. Probably a dozen silk handkerchiefs are found wrapped up in newspapers in every mail from China.
 The skill exhibited by the postal clerks in detecting such contraband inclosures is wonderful. It seems to partake of the nature of intuition. They say that they do not know themselves how they do it, but that newspaper with silk hand kerchief in it has a sort of gritty feeling when manipulated. Silk stockings are mailed from France in the same manner. Washington Cor. Boston Transcript.

A BRIEF sPLENDoR.

After the death of Napoleon, Maria
Louise married again. and going to the
duchy of Parma, little realm set apart
for her, she lived there without much
to remind her of the dethroned son
who remained at Vienna with his
grandfatheE and also her second
husband. After the death of the ling
of Rome Marie Louise was married
third time: and there is little to
show that she ever recalled her brief
years of splendor in Paris as empress
of the French.
Now the king of Rome was king no
longer. 1t had been the custom in ad-
dressing him to say: "Sire, your mai
esty;" but on the day when his mother
left Vienna, when entering the room
where the emperor of Austria awaited
him, he was thus announced:
|. His highness, the duke of Reich
stadt"
"Who is this new duke?" he demand
ed, and then he was told that he was
no longer to be, even in name, the king
of Rome He had been aware of the
change in his fortunes even before it
was thus brutally forced upon him
Anyone can see that 1 am not a
king, he had remarked; 81 haven't any
pages now!''
Few as were the letters and messages
between the father at st. Helena and
the son at the Austrian court, the boy
could not forget that he was not born
an Austrian noble. How could the soa
of Napoleon the Great forget? All the
history of the time was but his fathers
biography.
AS soon as he was old enough the
little duke learned the duties of mill
tary service and won his way by degrees
to the rank of an officer The son oj
the greatest of warriors. military studies
were his passion, and he studied the
fathers campaigns with sons devo-

such term, facility of conversion into
gold and silver. The ideal money of
the future will provide for no such con-
version, but will be based upon the
peoples sacred promise to receive in
exchange for all commodities, which
will include gold and silver, (as COM
modities). Even now a man will as
quickly give twenty-dollar gold piece
as bill of like denomination for food
when he is hungry, or clothes when he
is naked But the ideal money will
possess another attribute neither
thought of or desired by the money
mongers of the nineteenth century. 1t
will be free from the curse of usury.
| There will be methods devised by
which the people (government) will
loan their collective credit (money) to
themselves as individuals at the cost
of administering the system under
which such credit is thus loaned To
go into details would be superfiuous,
and just an idea or two may suffice.
Money might be paid out by the peo-
pies government upon all legal appro-
priations and the entire tariff and in
ternal revenue system abolished, until

reached a proper per capita limit, then
the graded income and succession taxes
might be adopted to furnish revenue.
Or there might be appropriated two
million dollars to each congressional
district for the improvement of the
public highways Or the land-loan
bureau might be inaugurated and the
homes of the people saved from Shy
locks grasp Having inflated the
regular normal volume of money to
such a degree that there was money
enough in the country to properly de-
velop its resources and carry on its in
ternal commerce upon a cash basis, the
banking system of the nation should
be nationalized by the esta ablishment
of peoples national banks of deposit,
loans and discount, and the deposits of
the people be guaranteed absolute
safety and certain return, such de-
pOsits being loaned to borrowers at
the cost of carrying on the banking
system. Then put into operation the
sub-treasury plan of loaning an ad-
ditional or supplemental volume of
money upon receipts for corn, wheat
and cotton, issued by bonded state
warehouses and elevators, and Shy
lock would be dethroned and usury
destroyed. $50 mote it be.''-George
