Prepa ring for the Jubilee.

LONDON, May 1S.-The Prince of
Wales, who for twentythree consecu-
tive years has been grand master Of
English Free Masons, has convened a
special grand lodge to be held on June
14th in commemoration of the diamond
jubilee of the queen. All the high
of the order from every
town and county in the united kingdom,
as well as many distinguished Masons
from abroad, will be present, and the
event will, it is given out, be the most
brilliant in the records of English Ma
sonry. The F'reemason' hall is the
permanent meeting place of the grand
lodge and has been the scene of the sue
cessive instal!a ions of the Prince of
Wales and other notable Masonic
events, but owing to the immense at

DOUBLE-TWIST HAND SHAKE.
1t Is Very Effective If You Happen to
BE Accustomed to 1t.


The newest handshake is called the
double twist" 1t was born at the horse
show, but it is such complex perform
ance that it is only just reaching per-
fection. The title is more than unat-
tractive; it is ominous, and the unin-
itiated may well beware of it, says the
New York Sun. Concerted action is as
necessary to shake a successful and
artistic double twist as it is to make
successful stage fall. This is the
way the shake works: Two persons
meet and clasp hands in the ordinary
way. Then, still holding hands, there
is Il perceptible pause of a few sec
onds, and each is apparently inspired
by a sudden impulse to make the greet
ing more cordial and less conventional.
AS though by an afterthought, the two
drag each other closer and give each
others hands a hearty squeeze. A very
Derceptible interval between the clasp
and shake is indispensable to the proper
carrying out of the new greeting.
That's where the trouble comes in. If
one shaker understands this and the
other doesn't, a bumped nose; bruised
head, or twisted back is liable to fol-
low the sudden jerk. But if both under
stand what might well be termed the
glad hand, things are somewhat equal
lied, and nothing more or less than
a healthy vibration of the whole body
results.

A FISH STORY.
An Expert Angler, but He Couldn't t
Lie About His Catch.

l think it's just as wrong to lie about
fishing as about anything else. l pre-
sumo that I'm about as expert an anS-
Ter as ever cast a fly, but I'd no more
add one to the number of my catch or
an ounce to the weight of a fish than
I'd falsify an account or give short
change to a customer. That's the rea-
son l get the worst of it when some
fellows are doing their Dragging on dry
land, but once on the water L make
them all sing very low.
l remember when we went to GeOr-
gian Bay two years ago, there We're
some men aboard telling some mighty
big yarns. You'd think the Government
couldn't keep the lakes stocked if they
did much fishing. l never said a word
about what l could do. The very first
day we got at the sport l struck one
of those Well-like holes and l caught
eighty-three speckled bass with one
minnow, and the dwarf in the whole
take weighed six pounds. 1t was quite
a load to pull back and when I landed
the other chaps were so Jealous that
they charged me with robbing some
