MEXICAN HANDSHAk,NC
A Bit OF Native Etiquette Which Foreign.
ers Often Adopt.

Handshakng in Mexico is much more
commonly indulged in than in Anglo
Saxon countries Foreigners residents
here for any length of time soon fall
into the habit, unconsciously shaking
hands upon all occasions, and it becomes
SO natural that upon their geturn to
countries where a more distant formal
ity is observed they are at a loss to know
what to do with their hands, and must
frequently reflect upon their surround
ings in order not to feel almost an at
front at the hurried nod of a passing
friend, or the unccremonious entrance
and departure of guests In Mexico
trends would not think of entering or
leaving a house without shaking hands
not only with the host and hostess but
with all other guests who might be pres
cnt. and the women would kiss each
other, both coming and going, on both
cheeks. They even observe this formal
ity upon the occasion of chance meet
ing on the street or in the car
Men acquaintance passing each other
on the street either tip their hats, as
they would to woman. or. at least,
salute each other with the hand by touch
ing the hat. or in more of military
fashion. Men who are old friends stop
and shake hands and pass the cohpli
ments of the day. and if they have not
met for some time they will undoubt-
edly go through what is termed the bear
hug put their arms around each other
and pat each other on the back, one
passing one arm over the shoulder of his
friend, the other under his arm, while
he
ton. When this embrace is concluded
they shake hands and tip their hats, at
the same time murmuring the conven-
tional words of greeting. Then they are
ready to inquire as to the health of the
respective members of the two families.
Men shake hands with many of their
friends both upon entering and leaving a
street car.
The inspector of the tickets on the
cars will shake hands with number of
his regular passengers every morning
and clerks behind the counter of dry
goods store will shake hands with the
customers that they know, and when the
employees of a store or mercantile es-
tablishment assemble in the morning the
formal greeting is never omitted There
are some points of Mexican etiquette
that to many foreigners unaccustomed
to more brusque and businesslike ways
seem often affected and unnecessary,
such, for instance, as the ofttimes pro-
tracted discussions as to which of two
men shall enter a stree. car or a door
way first, or which shall be allowed to
walk on the outside of the sidewalk.
As rule, however, most foreigners who
live for any length of time in a Latin
country come to enjoy the more cordial
forms of greeting, although frequently
hey do not realize how thoroughly they
have adopted them in their own con-
duct until they return for a visit among
their countrymen-Mexican Herald.

WHEN PERIL COMES
Sudden and Extreme Danger the Test Of
True Courage.

1t is when the unexpected happens that
fatalism proves how fragile prop it is,
after all, for human courage. The SOL
dier or the sailor can say to himself
when he knows that he must take a
supreme risk, in battle or in storm !:
Il am powerless against the fate which
has decreed for me from the beginning
Of the world. If my time has come, I
cannot help it; if not, all the forces of
earth and sky and ocean cannot prevail
to harm me-" But when without an
instants warning rock crashes through
a ships bottom and the waters rush into
the gap; when confusion seizes the en-
tire company aboard; when the fog is
too thick for the captain to be seen or
the roar of the sea browns the sound
of his orders, new test is applied. Then
it is that the courage which rests on
nothing frmcr than negation gives
way. and in his greed to save his own
life the stole becomes as a mailman.
There have been steamship disasters
in which men of humble station, of all
colors and faiths, have shown the finest
quality Of heroism, and there have been
those in which the common sailors, all
whites and Europeans, have earned
eternal disgrace by their cowardice. The
point we are making is not that it is
possible to draw a hard and fast line
between one religion and another Or one
race and another in the matter of brav-
cry, but that the affirmative sense of
responsibility for ones own acts, of the
difference between right and wrong,
between nobility and ignominy and of
the grandeur Of duty we'll done at the
sacrifice of self, is far surcr depend
encc in the presence of sudden peril
than all the stoical philosophers ever
worked out by the mind of man.
