SHAKING HANDS.
The "God Bless You" of HoneSt-
Hearted People n Denediction.

The "God Bless You 4" of Honest-
Hearted People n DcnedictiOn.
In an article describing THE Social
Life of the President" ex-President
Harrison tells of the fatigues of hand
shaking, and. also, of the benefits OF
being brought In contact with the good,
honest-hearted people of the country.
In the first two weeks of an admins
tration," he says. ''the president shakes
hands with from 10000 to 10000 per-
sons. The physical drain of this is
very great, and if the president is not
an instructed handshakcr lame arm
and q swollen hand soon result. This
may he largely. or entirely. avoided by
using President Hayes method-take
the hand extended to you and grip IL
before your hand is gripped. II is the
passive hand that gets hurt. 1t has
been suggested that a nod or a bow
should be substituted for the hand
shake, but II would be quite. as admis-
sible to suggest a revision of the Dec
laration of Independence. The interes;
which multitudes attach to a hand
shake with the president is so great
that people will endure the greatest dis
comfort and not a little peril to life OF
limb to attain it. These are not the Of
fce-seekers, but the good, honest-heart
ed, patriotic people whose God bless
YOU is a prayer and bened'ction
They come 70 Washington for the in
auguration. and later with excursions
but they are mostly to be found neal
their own homes. They come out &c
meet the president when he takes
Journey. and his contact with them ant
their unselfish and even affectionate in
terest in him revive his courage ant
elevate his purposes. Mr.. Lincoln II
said to have called these popular recep
tions his 'public-opinion baths. LA

The late Sir b. w. Richardson is
credited with the following curious in
formation. on suicides: The rate of sld-
cides is highest in the last four days

MON nnd women plners.

Women as diners out are rarely sought
after. AT conventional dinner party
they arc present in numbers equal to
matching the men guests, but in select.
ing the couples the hostess usually asks
her women for their beauty, toilet or
because they happen to be wives Of the
men she desiIcs--voIy seldom for any
individual quality they possess, not
more than enc Of the sex in 500 ever
being able to meet the requirements laid
down for men. One reason for this is
their incapacity to Disguise their utter
Indifference TO stories and anecdote. -
