A Hearty Handshake.

Something about mans health may
be told by the way he shakes hands.
The firm, hearty handshake OF a sin
cere man may be rather rough, SO that
one is taught he has grip, but 1t in
dicates stsmlna. While denoting alb
sence of tact and refinement, 1t points
to physical strength. The fabby hand
that returns no pressure belongs to the
person who has no great strength of
body or mind The quick, nervous
handshake of an excltabe, nervous
temperament, and Its opposite, the
nerveless, passive one, belong to per-
sons in i'll health. The hand that threat
ems to collapse or give means fear. The
feel of the hand called magnetic, indl-
Gates health and kindness, and desire
to help others. In many ways we may
decide character by the hand as well
as by the brain.

HISTORIC MYTHS EXPOSED.
Many So-Called Historical Factso
Prove to BE Fiction.

Many So-Called Historical Facts"
Prove to Be Fiction.
Another pretty story Of famous
man has proved awry. For years 1t
has been a piece Of common gossip
made good use of by Sunday school
| teachers and lecturers on self-help,
| that the late Lord Russell was once
reporter in the House of Commons.
| But 1t is the purest Of inventions. The
new Life Of the late chief justice
makes it clear that Lord Russell was
never in the gallery.
The story goes the way of many an
other of its kind. Mr.. Kipling, 1t is
known, was not named after 1.-THE lit
tie village of Rudyard, where his faith
er and mother plighted their troth";
the late Lady Louise Tighe was not
taken out of bed to buckle on yelling
tons sword before Waterloo; Queen
Victoria did not solemnly declare to
the heather that the Bible was the Sc
cret of England's greatness. Each of
these myths has in turn been exposed
during the last few years.
One of these days we shall be told
that there was no such thing as Magma
Charta already, in spite of the EVIL
dence at Nine. Tussauds. 1t is solemn
ly asserted that King John did not
sign it, as the histories say, but merely
affixed his seal.
The pilgrim fathers did not sail from
Plymouth. 1t is enough to shake ones
last shred of faith in history, but the
truth is that the Mayfower set sail
from Southampton, having originally
come from Holland, and that the asso-
citation of Plymouth with the historic
departure owes its origin to the fact
that Plymouth happened to be the last
English port the vessel touched.
Fleet street is the home and cradle
of many myths, and 1t was a journalist
who invented one Of the most common
ly accepted myths of all. DR.. johnson
never said-it is not, at least, recorded
LET us take walk down Fleet
street" The phrase adorned the cover
Of Il magazine for many years and
came to be popularity attributed to
Johnson, but the editor of the maya
zine, not long since dead, confessed
that the quotation was altogether i'm
aginary. Nor did brave Gen. Cam
bronze, commander of the imperial
guards at Waterloo, exclaim, on being
called upon to yield: The guard dies
but does not surrender" The phrase
was first though of, says the London
st. James Gazette, by journalist in
Paris and it is engraved on the gen

RECIPROCITY.

After the war taxes are all repealed
there will still remain surplus of
revenue estimated at $50, 200, 900 an
nually, The reciprocity idea, as now
proposed, only involves reduction
of one fifth in the rates of duty
This would result in some additional
imports and it is easy to see that
with surplus of $50, 900, 900 to begin
with, great deal could be done
along this line without creating a
deficit.

TAX ON CORPORATIONS.

Besides, if it is thought that there
is any real danger of shortage of
revenue, such contingency can easily
be met, in good part at least, by
adopting the Newlands proposition to
reduce the tax on sugar and petro-
leum refiners from one fourth to one
tenth of one per cent on gross re-
ceipts. and then extend it to all in
dustrial corporations, the receipts OF
which exceed 81 900, 900 annually.

REPEAL OF WAR TAXES.

thought. The purpose of this move

eminent as to enable the high protec-
Zionist to argue, plausibly, that any
lowering of duties through reciproe-
ity or antitrust measures will en-
danger the condition of the Treasury.
They plead now that the ''war taxes"
should be removed first. OF course
the whole contention is illogical and
insincere. The lowering. or even the
total removal of duties from trust
products will scarcely reduce the rev

ering
