SHAKING WITH 10000.
The GOD Bless You!" of Honest Hearted
People "a BenedictiOn.

In an article describing 1.-THE Social
Life of the President" in The Ladies
Home Journal ex-President Harrison
tells of the fatigues of handshaking and
also Of the benefits of being brought il
contact with the good, honest hearted
people of the country. Gin the first two
weeks of an administration, he says,
"the president shakes hands with from
40, 600 to 10000 persons. The physical
drain of this is very great, and if the
president is not an instructed hand
shaker lame arm and a swollen hand
soon result. This may be largely or en-
tirely avoided by using President Hayes
method-take the hand extended to you
and grip it before your hand is gripped.
1t is the passive hand that gets hurt Ii
has been suggested that a nod or bow
should be substituted for the handshake
but it would be quite as admissible to
suggest a revision of the Declaration o.
Independence.
1.-THE interest which multitudes attacl
TO handshake with the president is 81
great that people will endure the great
est discomfort and not little peril t.
life or limb TO attain it. These are no
the Office seekers, but the good, homes
hearted, patriotic people whose Goo
bless You is prayer and benediction
They come to Washington for the inau
guration, and later with excursions
but they are mostly to be found neal
their own homes They come out t.
meet the president when he takes
journey, and his contact with them ant
their unselfsh and even affectionate III
terest in him revive his courage ant
elevate his purposes. Mr.. Lincoln i
said to have called these popular 1ecep
lions his public opinion baths.

RECKLESS NAT GOODWIN.
An Illustration of How the Coined Has
Money To Burn.

A story | have just heard anort Nat
Gcodwln Is but another instance Of his
reckless generosity and constant desire
to bum money upon all possible occa-
sions.
Nat had been in the habit of passing
part Of his time at certain hostelry-
that is all tho description necessary of
the place-presided over by fat, good
natured German. They had known each
other well and were on excellent terms.
1t came about one day, during the
broaching of bill, that Mr.. Goodwin
disputed an item Of 500. In doing so he
was morally certain that the indebted
ness was not his. Mine host was equal
ly sure on his side Of the contrary
The dispute waxed hot and heavy.
See here, said Goodwin, 81 don
care for trifling amount like $50. It's
the principle of the thing, that's all.
Just the principle of the thing"
Der same way NIT me, retorted the
landlord 81 dond't care me for $780,
D0O."
Perhaps not" doubted the comedi-
an. But I'd sooner throw the money
away or burn it than give it to you
when / don't owe it to you"
"Ah," exclaimed the German sarcas-
tically. "You hat money to purn, chi
Veil, l dond't pelieve me dot"
us that SOP" returned Nat "Well,
now, I'll tell you what I'll do with
you. I'll burn $50 right here before
your eyes if you'll receipt the bill"
by Chiminy" said the host. "I'll
yoost 60 you vonce.
Without another word Nat Goodwin
took his checkbook out of his pocket,
filled out check for $50, tore it out
applied lighted match to it, and hello
it until it was reduced to ashes.
The German, who had watched the
process with bullying eyes, banged 6
rubber stamp OH the disputed bill
scrawlod his signature across it ant
said with a sigh

SEALS WILL BE BRANDED.
This Will Probably Put an End to Pelagic
Sealing.

DR.. David Starr Jordan, who will be
the American scientific representative
at the Pribilof islands this summer,
says that as the British government
has not come to satisfactory terms with
the United States for the protection of
fur seals in Boring sea the United
States will begin this summer, through
the fur seal commission, the work Of
branding the female seals on the Pribi-
lof islands. This will spoil the skins Of
branded seals, and so stop pelaeic seal
ing by making it Improbable.
One of DIR. Jordan's assistants, FL
mer Farmer, expert electrician, has in
vented an electrical machine for brand
ing seals, and if it proves satisfactory
it will do great deal toward settling
the seal question.
There is possibility that the female
seals may be corralled on one of the is
lands during the sealing season. This
will necessitate building about two
miles of board fence, and it is not GER
tain yet whether lumber can be pro-
cured. 1t will be done if possible. -Ex-

WEARS LIKE GRANITE.
New Kind of Cement Compound That
VIII BE Valuable to the Building Trade.

N new hinu Oh cement compound Ihat
VIII BE Valuable to the Building Trade.
Report is made in the chemical Jour-
nails Of a new kind of cement compound
which has been introduced in Europe
with very satisfactory results. This
substance, to which the name of "pet-
rifite" is given, is intended to be used
for the conversion of organic or inor-
ganic matter-whether it be waste,
wet or dry, pure or mixed-into hard
durable mass impervious to water, of
great strength and free from all atmos-
pheric influences.
The composition employed is not
stated, but it is in the form of white
powder, and the statement is made that,
mixed with sand, it produces a sand
stone Of durable quality; with sawdust
body similar to hard wood, but indie
structible, while with slate waste the
result is an agreeable marble.
According to The Chemical Trade
journal, the most reliable chemical au-
thorities who have examined and eX-
perimented with this product have ex-
pressed very favorable opinions as to its
value, and Professor Banschinger of the
Munich laboratory, who is one of the
leading experts in all such matters,
states that the wearing quality of this
new substance, with sawdust, is equal
to the best granite and basalt Elk

ALL FOR SO CENTS.
. Long and Expensive Lawsuit For the
Recovery of Trihing Sum.

The supreme court of Georgia recent
ly decided very interesting case in
which the sum of so cents was the total
amount of money involved.
The case was that of Carter versus
Weaver, suit for damages, carried to
the supreme court from justice court.
The question involved was the legality
of verdict rendered and received ON
the Sabbath day.
Hicks Carter sued Welborne Weaver
in justice court for damages alleged
10 have resulted from an exchange of
horses. The case ended ON Saturday
afternoon, and the judge then charged
the jury. The jury failed to reach a
verdict Saturday, and not until late
Sunday afternoon did they agree on an
amount for the plaintiff.
The judge was sent for and he opened
the court and received the verdict. The
pay'the plaintiff 80 cents and the costs
of the case. The defendant petitioned
the superior court for certiorari. On a
hearing the petition was overruled.
The case was then carried to the su-
preme court on a pauper's affidavit.
The case went to the supreme court
on the objection that the verdict was
rendered on Sunday and was contrary to
law and to the evidence. In its decision
the supreme court affirmed the finding
of the justice court and stated that in
the case of Henderson versus Reynolds,
"a Ga, 100, the court had decided that
there was 10 legal or moral wrong in
receiving OH the Sabbath day verdict
which had not been agreed upon until
after that day had begun. Atlanta

A Summer Martyr.

There s n novel that is waiting
On a shelf not far away
To be read to a conclusion
When have the time, some day
The heroine was charming
And tho villain was churl-
How long TO know the fortunes
That befel that lovely girl
I'm convinced 'twould not be proper
When such problems grave engage

Fen to glance at fiction's page
And read debates and essays
Spurn all sentimental larks-
Though / long for more lovemaking
And few quotation marks
So truly hope tariff
May be soon decided on;
That with reference to Cuba
Something proper may be done.
Then. with conscience unprotesting'
again may turn and look
