Men Indulge In the Practice Far More
Than Women.
Men shake hands with strangers of
their own sex with far greater readi-
ness than do women. Two men, on
being presented to one another, will
frequently extend the hand in a grasp
Of greeting, which gives opportunity to
form a general idea of each others
makeup, and know whether they are
attracted or repulsed. Occasionally
there is a man with sufficient good
nature and courage to refuse another
mans hand without causing offense.
There are men who have been so i'm
pressed with the discoveries of bac-
teriology that they maintain hand
shaking to be the cause of dissemina-
ton of disease germs. The bare hand
in contact with innumerable
germs looking for pasturage on some
Vulnerable spot in our anatomy. A cut
or abrasion on the hand leaves the
door open for the admission of an
enemy. Therefore it is with reason
that men argue against promiscuous
h~andshaking out of the home among
the men met in business life. Science
long since frowned upon the practice
of promiscuous kissing, which prevail
ed among women. Is the ungloved
handshake also doomed?

HOW TO KEEP GOLD FISH.
A Few Necessary Rules for Preserving
the Pretty Water Pets.

~NCCCbShEy hulcS u Wig
the Pretty Water Pets.
From the Cleveland Leader: 1t is re-
markable how seldom people are able
to keep goldfish for more than a month
or two at most, and all because they
neglect a few first principles. Gold
fish can be kept almost any length of
time, accidents apart, If kept crupu-
lously clean. The air in the water is
soon exhausted, and they should have
fresh water every day. If possible, Of
tener in summer, though once will do
II the globe is fairly large. One can
usually tell when the fish are need
ing water. They stand on their tails
with their mouths to the surface of the
water, and move slowly in that posi-
ton, generally making a bubbling
sound. When you put the fresh water
into the globe let it dash in from a
height, SO that plenty of air gets in,
too, and let your fish have a handful
or shells or small stones. They look
pretty and the fish appreciate being
able to poke about among them for bits
or food, and it gives them something
to do and a little interest in life. Peo-
pie frequently make the mistake of
thinking that the fish get enough food
out of the water. This is not so. They
need feeding when in captivity. Pack
cts of fishes food, chiefly consisting
OF dried ants eggs, can be procured
from any seed or naturalists' shop. As
they require only a very small quantity
once a day, their board is not expen-
sive. They will live on vermicelli, but
this clouds the water, and consequent
ly Injuries the appearance of the globe.
1t is said hat goldfish should never
be handled. This is no doubt true, IL
they are kept for breeding purposes.
otherwise, it does them no harm-if
due care is ex~ercised-and you may
pick them up one by one in your hands
and pop them into the globe Of fresh
water. Never buy a fish unless the
fms are erect and fully spread. Di-
rectly the fish is out Of health the fins
close more and more, until it dies,
when they are quite shut up against
the body.

situated beside a road in the parish of
Duloe, midway between Liskeard and
Looe, in an exceedingly picturesque sit
~uation, o%verhung by the dense foliage
of a great elm. st. Keyne was one of
the many Irish saints who in early
times settled in Cornwall, and the le-
gend runs that she presented this new
er-failing spring to the inhabitants of
Duloe in return for their dedication of
the parish church to her. But st.
Keynes well is best known to the
world at large from Southey's ballad,
which has given fame to the legend
that the husband or wife who first
drinks of it's water after marriage shall
have precedence ever after. The rustic
of whom Southey tells, however, was
not sharp enough:
Il fastened as soon as the wedding was

And left my good wife in the porch,
But, l. faith, she had been far wiser
than l,
For she took a bottle to church."

Miss Anna Kitchener is probably the
only female railroad superintendent in
the world. Major c. e. Kitchener, the

the entire management of the road

SHOPPING IN PHILADELPHIA.

Many New York and Brooklyn women
Trade In Pennsylvania.
The proprietors of a large number Of
great department stores of New York
have only recently found out that there
are hundreds, and it is said even thou
sands, of wealthy New York and
Brooklyn women who do all of their
shopping on this side of the water in
the city of Philadelphia. On all of the
railroads running to Philadelphia
there are two trains a week called
shopping trains" for the accommoda-
ton of women Of these parts, who
maintain that they are treated with
more courtesy and consideration, and
obtain besides better gewgaws, trinkets
and furbelows and things for their
money in Philadelphia than in Few
York. The proprietors of the big shop
ping shacks are standing aghasc at
their discovery and spluttering many
inane things about lack of local feel
ing" unfair treatment and that sort
of humbug. The cudgels are often TAX
en- up for the shop girl as a whole class,
and justly taken up; but the shop girl
b presides at the counters of most
OF the New York department stores
is pretty well able to care for herself
in encounters with grabbed ONE
customers, or to start such encounters
agoing, for the matter Of that, which
accounts in a great easure for this
constantly increasing twice-a-week ex-
odus of New York shopping women
for the mild, neutral, colorless town
of Philadelphia, where, they maintain.
they find courtesy from the Delaware
to the Wissahickon, and cheapness
enough to pay for their iaunts over.
