Practice Now In Vogue Dates Back to
the Beginning of Time.
1T Is said by ancient astrologers tina,
which dates back to the beginning of
time There is all the difference in the
world between the various modes of
shaking the hand Of stranger or friend
"a to the resulting impression obtained
by and through that operation. con-
sciously or uncOnsciously," said a So
ciety woman at a select afternoon tea
yesterday. Il claim that the results
depend upon the proper position taken
by the two hands clasped, although q
mere touch will tell much. We shake
hands in order to form a connection
between us which will result in the ex-
change Of planetary vibrations which
notify US whether we have met a
friend or foe. Few people go into such
an exact scientific analysis go into such
sons. but perhaps think that they dc
it because other people do 1t; that it is
the custom Of the country. or because
the person met offers the hand 1t re-
mains an indisputable fact however,
that we form likes and dislikes upon
touching the hands Of strangers and
that friendships or dislikes often start
at that point, whether We realize it or
not. The exchange of impression Is
strong at the moment Of contact of the
palm. 1t makes US unhappy to touch
some people, and we will not If we can
help 1t.
''The most effective handshake Is not
the close clasp In all cases, although it
may be in many, but varies according
to the sizes and shapes Of the two
hands which clasp each other How
ever they may meet, there is one spot
which is the magnetic center Of the en-
tire being-the mount of the sun,
speaking from the standpoint OF
palmistry-which has the most direct
nerve contact with the brain and also
most direct blood connection with the
heart, and is, therefore, called the ring
the magnetic pole at its
base.
The physical and mental strength
are there united in the strongest mag.
netic center Of the body. II the two
hands thus clasped are placed with
their magnetic centers in close contact,
no matter where the rest Of the palm
may be, I insist that there is q strong
current established between
these two people.

CUTTING WITH A STRING.

woven string and give 1t a single turn
around the bottle. Each boy should
take hold Of the string with one hand
and the bottle with the other. See-saw
the string rapidly back and forth, be-
Ing careful that it rubs the glass al.
ways in one place. Continue this until
the friction Of the string has made the
ylass hot where it has rubbed and then
plunge the bottle suddenly into a pail
Of cold water. The glass will instantly
crack where the string has rubbed 1t.
Probably not many boys know that
glass can be cut with q pair Of shears
and that almost As easily as II 1t wert
pasteboard. It seems almost unbeliev.
able at first, but any boy can readily
prove its truth by trying 1t. Provide q
large pail or tub Of water. Hold the
pane Of glass under the water with one
hand and cut 1t with the shears held
in the other hand. The pressure of the
water prevents the glass from crack
ing. 1t Is not possible to cut straight
through a piece Of glass, as you would
through a piece Of paper. 1t must be
trimmed around the edges, where the
glass will crumble OF easily and rapid
ly. You can thus cut a square pane Of
glass to 1T q round or oval frame, or
you can trim down a large piece Of
glass to At Q smaller frame. 1t Is q
simple method, but it will ofton be
found very useful. Try it

LABOR STRIKES OF HISTORY.


Early Exyptian LabOrers Were the
First to lnaugurate Them.
II Is often asserted that the labor
strike as such does not date back fur-
ther than Capt. Boycott. In the early
part Of the century. As matter OF
fact the earliest strike dates back to
about 1850 B. c., or upward Of thirty
three centuries ago. Pharaoh was
building a new temple Of Thebes. The
masOns received very little cash. but a
quantity Of provisions, which the con-
tractors thought sufficient, was handed
to them on the first Of each month.
Sufficient or not, they mostly ate 1t be-
fore the time had elapsed. On one oc-
oRsiOn many Of them had nothing left
quite early In the month. SO they
marched to the contractors house, be-
fore which they squatted and refused
to bulge until justice was done. The
contractor persuaded them to lay their
distress before Pharaoh, who was
about to visit the works, and he gave
them a handsome supply of corn, aud
80 all went well for that month.
But the same state of things required
by the middle Of the next and for some
days the men struck work. Various
conferences took place. but the men
declined to do stroke until they were
given another supply Of food. They
declared the clerks cheated them. used
false weights and SO forth. familiar
enough complaints 10 this country un.
der the truck system. The contractor
not complying with their demands,
they marched to the governor Of the
city to lay their grievances before him,
and he tried to get them to return to
work BY smooth words. but that was
no use and they insisted on having
food. At last, to get rid Of them, he
drew up an order for corn on the public
granary and the strike was at an end

In an article In the aomiletic Review
Joseph Parker draws the line sharply
between the preacher and the essayist
who reads his pulpit address. Accord
ing to the London clergyman the effec-
tive preacher IL not the one who deliv-
ers q set Grafton. The reader stands
at a distance from his hearers, while
the preacher appeals to them personal
iy. Mr.. Parker considers Beecher,
spurgeon and Moody the three best
preachers he has heard, ranking them
In that order. Beecher used the fewest
possible notes, which would be unintel-
ligible to any one else and gave no
hint OF the store Of eloQuence which
they would suggest to him. SpurgeOn
wrote down catch words and few be-
ginnings Of sentences. Both Beecher
and Spurgeon trusted almost entirely
to the inspiration Of the moment to Sc
cure fit words In which to clothe theiI
thoughts. Either could expand a slight
idea into an indefinite number Of
charming words. while either was also
a master Of short and pregnant sen
tences, some Of Beecher's aphorisms
being among the best In any literature
Moody used no notes at all. Can any
one imagine Moody standing up in the

1t Is well known that Mrs. Emmons
Blaine has made munificent provisions
for establishing the Chicago Institute,
with the twofold object Of providing
ideal educational conditions from kin
dergarten to college and Offering to
teachers the best advantages for pro-
fessiOnal training. One feature Of the
enterprise which is not often mention
ed Is of much Importance. After the
staff of instruction was appointed, the
twenty-six men and women who COM
prise the stan were placed under sal
aries and were allowed a year for ma
turing their own qualifications before
being called to their respective chairs.
Most Of them are now pursuing special
studies at universities, or are travelling
on tours Of observation IN the rich Old
World. This faculty elect is composed
Of persons already well educated.
Many Of them have already proved
their fitness for the work for which
they now seek fresh preparation. Such
a fact emphasizes the modern urgency
for higher educational standards. The
teacher must ever be a learner. The
same impulse reaches downward to the
preparatory schools. The conditions Of
admission to the best colleges are not
growing easier. And for those who
seek a real education the regular course
