Character in the HandshaISe.

Iform my estimate of man the moment
l shake hands with him. If he frankly
gives me his whole hand and with it cor
dial grip, at the same time looking me
fully in the eyes, would not hesitate to
lend him money or appeal to him for aid if
was in trouble. Men who shake hands
that way usually mean what they say.
They are manly men, big hearted, brave
brotherly and will do to bank on. The
man who reaches out his hand as though
the eXertion worried him, and lets it lie in
your grasp like the fipper of a defunct cat
fish, is the kind of creature who sits up
nights to plot petty treasons. The man
who shakes hands with three fingers would
steal from himself if he knew how.
Whenever / reach out my hand and find
that it has closed down on three fishy
fingers l instinctively look to see if my
purse is safe. The man who grabs your
hand and pumps your arm up and down as
though it was the handle to hand car is
usually well meaning fellow, but is sell
dom troubled with plethora of brains.
The ladies also reveal themselves in the
handshake. There is no danger of mis-
taking the shy yet magnetic touch of ma
tive modesty for the icy salute of unfeeling
fOrmality. No woman who shakes hands
as she might touch dead mouse ever
played much havoc with masculine hearts.

White Winged Blackbirds.

The white winged blackbird consortinq
with the red winged seems to have been
observed by too many persons to permit an
explanation on the mere theory of albino
ism, extensively as that freak in "colora
tion" among birds and animals is seen. A
correspondent of ours, who is good OBJ
server, makes an important statement
when he says the white winged specimens
are smaller than the red winged. That
circumstance would seem to indicate diff
ferent species. Possibly there is an error
AT any rate, we will give the explanation
of an observer who has watched the phe.
nomenon of the white winged blackbird
with some persistence.
He says the white spot on the shoulders
or upper wing is due after all to the
curious effect of light reflected from q
ruddy surface when the wing is at certain
angles. In other words, it is a deception.
He claims to have followed this out and
proved it. 1t seems to be fact that the
red place on the blackbird's wing does
change its appearance decidedly in certain
aspects during night; but we do not pre-.
sent this theory as a conclusive explana-
tion of the appearance Times.

Tho Leverage in n scrswdriper.

1t is sometimes supposed by persons i'm
perfectly informed in mechanics that a
long screwdriver gives greater leverage"
than short one. This. however, is incor-
rect. The action Of screwdriver, the
pressure on which is direct, is not in any
way analogous to that of lever The
superiority of long screwdriver rests
simply on two facts-frst, you can gener-
ally get better grip of long screwdriver
than of short one and can bring the whole
weight of the body and strength of the
arms to bear on it, and second the torsion
of the iron in long screwdriver comes in
to supplement the force employed The
only way in which leverage can come in is
in connection with the breadth of the point
of the screwdriver, and even this counts
for nothing beyond the breadth of the head
Of the crew.-Brooklyn Eagle.

A New Kind of n Wheel.

1t is proposed to obviate, by means of a
simple arrangement, the jolts and jars and
vibrations common to vehicles when driven
over rough roads or street pavements when
ordinary wheels of rigid construction are
employed. Surrounding the outside of the
periphery of the wheel, and in close con-
tact with the tire, are series of independ-
ent springs, which form the outer tread of
the wheel; these springs are so arranged as
to work in conjunction with each other,
and when moving under heavy load their
free ends are sprung in toward the rim,
and coincide with the true or working peri
phery of the wheel, the springs not coming
in contact with the plane until the spring
is nearly under the center of gravity.
In this way the spring resistance is used
in sustaining the load, and not in retard
ing the movements of the wheel, the
springs, after passing the center of gravity,
eXerting a force against the plane over
which they are passing to force the wheel
ahead, thus making, as it is claimed a
wheel that is not only easy riding, but easy
propelling as well.-New York Sun.

Women Not All Alike.

One of the constitutional opinions of the
average man is that women are all alike.
1t crops out in his speech perpetually,
sometimes in the way of kindness and sym
pathy, oftener in the way Of derision and
contempt. When wife has forgiven some
great wrong done her by her husband,
when mother has sacrificed herself for
her children, we hear, at is Just like a
woman" We hear the same thing if she
has deceived her lover or involved her
father in debt. This dissent is due to the
fact that some men are sentimentelists
and that more men are cynics. The former
are always praising woman, the latter are
generally sneering at os decrying her. but
both think that she has only one nature
The sentimentalist believes her to be good,
gentle, loyal, truthful under every circum-
stance; the cynic pronounces her bad,
harsh, inconStant, hypocritical on instinct.
Neither is wholly right nor wholly
wrong. She is good and bad, gentle and
harsh, loyal and inconstant, truthful and
hypocritical. Her qualities depend largely
on the individual, and the individual
varies with mood and environment. She is
not cut out of the ideal, nor is she drawn
from debasement. She is primarily human,
as man is; compound of brain and body,
of strength and weakness, of generosity
and selishness, of charity and prejudice,
of altruism and egotism, of affection and
aversion. Some women are far better,
some women are far worse than the mass,
but better or worse, they are fundament-
ally unlike one another and often unlike
themselves.-Junius Henri Browne in La
dies Home Journal.

the breaking out Of any war. But it is not the

All idea Of renewing the treaties of 1883 or

nations. We must hear no more of free ships
and free goods.
With respect 10 a change in the government
Of the United States it Is impossible, we think,
that Mr.. Madison can remain ut the head Of 1t.

chance, at least, of such peace as men not

country tho advantages Of such a war as men
Of real talents, supported by the confidence of
the nation, could prosecute. Let Mr. Madison
resign, and the public sentiment would be
united Let administration be in the hands of
Rufus King, Dewitt Clinton, John Marshal,

have either good peace or war which shall

The Practice of borrowing Books

The practice of borrowing books is es-
sentially an evil one in those who can
afford to own books, and public libraries
serve to encourage and foster the evil,
though they are of very great value to the
poor student. We think that upon general
principles people should own the books
they read. We believe heartily in buying
books reading books and keeping books,
but not in borrowing books. AS refer
ence public library serves an admirable
purpose, and in many instances it is of un-
doubted advantage to the people. But one
who would be surely profited by books
should own them If he can and should
have them for companions continually
about him.-Chicago News.
