WHY Folks shake Hands.

When the iron glove might mean
mischief it was sign of peace to I'M
cover the hand in greeting. That is how
the custom, which is SO fast falling into
neglect, of taking off the glove to shake
hands arose, and that is why gloves
have always to be removed on presen-
tation to the queen at court. But
though the glove was removed, there
was still, in the rough old days, some
fear of treachery, and that is why we
shake hands at all, for when men met
they surrendered to the grasp of the
other the right and welding
hand. Had it been possible for Presi-
dent Carnot, says Sir Herbert Maxwell,
to insist on mutual surrender of right
hands, the attack upon him would as
suredly have miscarried

tent. One man, for instance, who limps
a little in walking, does the same thing
on his wheel, emphasizing one stroke
moro than another. A second, who
moves with long strides when his feet
are on terra firma, simply translates
this motion to meet the new environ

third, being a brisk. energetic little
person, always walking rapidly, keeps
his legs going at a relative speed on
his safety and couldn't stroll along if
he tried.

Our Naval strength.

New York, Dec. 20.--A local paper
prints an interview from Washington
with Charles H. Cramp, head of the ship
building firm, on the subject of a possi-
BILE war with Great Britain. Cramp does
not think there will be an immediate
order for new vessels, for he says those
ordered now would hardly be available If
needed soon, as it takes two years to
build battleshlp. He said:
"The presidents message is just and
strong as it represents our national
strength on the sea. Without single
battleship it would be weak and beneath
notice, with one such vessel it would de-
mand some attention, and so on as the
number increases, until if backed by
twenty ii would be unanswerable. =.
Now what is the United States strength
az to battleshipsf There are available,
or will be in few months, four first class:
The Indiana, Massachusetts, Iowa, and
Oregon. Then there are the Texas and
Maine, second class; the Monterey, which
has demonstrated her ability to 60 on sea
cruises; the Miantonomah, smaller than
the Monterey, and the Amphrite, of the
monitor class. There is the Terror,
Puritan and Monadnock. With this
showing it will be seen what strength the
presidents message has"
When asked how long II would take
to transform four ocean greyhounds OF
the American line to war vessels, as
stipulated in the mail contract, Cramp
said they could be made ready in couple
Of weeks, but he did not think they would
be much use in naval battle, but would
be Of service as commerce destroysrs.
