there was an unfortunate tendency to
appeal to the help of the civil power. But
the Protestant missionaries were not
open to this charge. But these condi-
tions were not responsible for the out
break. Many of the ruling classes were
favorable to the missionaries, and around
each missionary station was established
circle Of respect and love- The peer

the work done in China, in the cordial
spirit of the heather people before the
outbreak and in the loyalty and devo-
ton OF the missionaries in the face OF
sudden death.
The turmoils of China would work out
for the glory of God; the famine in India
was turning thousands to Christianity;
and in the Philippines Divine Providence
could not more clearly have Indicated his

He Liked "Joan of Arc.v

An amusing little story is told in
Civics by a worker on the east side,
in New York. She had taken a party
of children to the Art museum, and a
few days later boy said shyIy:
Il told me mother about that picture
we saw in the museum, and she said
she wished she could see it too.''
The teacher asked what picture he
meant. "Was it Columbus Before Isa-
bella or Washington Crossing the
Delaware?"
The boy answered promptly: "Oh, no.
ma'am! The girl in a old dress standin
under a tree listentn. The one that
went to war and saved her country. I

Book Illustrating Party.

A Book Illustrating Party was
given on Wednesday evening last
at the Frederick Academy, under
the auspices of the Daughters of
the American Revolution, the
object being to increase the funds
in the treasury. The price of
tickets was 25 cents, and a neat
sum was realized.
Certain titles of popular books
were selected, and each person
drew one from a hat, and was re-
quested to illustrate it by pictures
or in any manner that would
carry out the idea. Some very
unique and original designs were
made as well as some ridiculous
ones and all were more or less
mystifying. Great interest was
taken in deciphering the illustra-
tions, which were numbered and
hung on the wall. The prizes
were awarded to the ones guess
ing the largest number of titles.
Miss Sallie Fontelroy and Mr..
j. Roger McSherry were the for
tunate winners, the prizes being
books.
Refreshments were served after
the prize winning. Music was fur
nished by the colored mandolin
and guitar orchestra.

HANDSHAKINo.
Custom That Dates Back to the Be-

ginning OF Time.
at is said by ancient astrologers
that shaking hands is scientific Gus
tom which dates back to the begin
ming of time There is all the differ
ence in the world between the various
modes of shaking the hand of stranger
or friend as to the resulting impress
sion obtained by and through that op-
Grafton, consciously or unconsciously,
said a society woman at select al
ternnon tea. Il claim that the result
depends upon the proper position tax
en- by the two hands clasped, although
a mere touch will tell much. We shake
hands in order to form connection
between us which will result in the
exchange of planetary vibrations
which notify us whether we have met
a friend or foe Few people go into
such an exact scientific analysis of
the reasons, but perhaps think that
they do it because other people do it;
that it is the custom of the country,
or because the person met offers the
hand. 1t remains an indisputable fact,
however, that we form likes and dis
likes upon touching the hands of
strangers, and that friendships or dis
likes 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 I'M
happy to touch some people, and we
will not if we can help it.
"The most effective handshake is
not the close clasp in all cases, but
varies according to the sizes and
shapes of the two hands which clasp
each other. However they may meet,
there is one spot which is the mag
netic centre of the entire being-the
mount of the sun, speaking from the
standpoint of palmstry-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 finger-with
the magnetic pole at it's base.

are there united in the strongest mag
netic centre of the body. If the two
