WHY WE SHAKE HANDS.

To shake hands with person is rightly regarded as a token of amity, but very few know how this custom arose.
 According to a French ethnologist, whenever two men met in former times they were accustomed to hold up their right hands in front of them as a sign that they had no intention of attacking each other, This mark of confidence, however, did not prove sufficient in all cases for a man may hold up his right hand and yet, if he keeps it closed. may have a weapon concealed in it, and therefore it became the custom for the two hands to grasp each other, as only thus could full assurance be given that no weapon was concealed in either of them. Formerly. therefore, this gesture, now the token of loyalty and friendship, was one of reciprocal dis trust.-New York Herald.

THE LATE II. BooTHE.

Isaac Judson Boothe, of Derby, was born in stratford, Conn, July 5, 1861, and was a few days over forty-one years of age. His father was stephen s. BOOthe of Stratford, and his mother was Harriet Betch. of Trumbull. He lived in Stratford in his bOyhood, going to q preparatory school and entering Yale. but was unable to finish his course at the latter college on account of his health. He went to Europe for his health, spending some time in Ger many.
 When young man he came to this city and has ever since lived here. During a very active business career here he has been connected with q number of concerns, having been inter- ested with F. W. Hallack in the Bir- mingham Wire Nail company, and was later in the National Box and keg con- pany. At the same time he was the proprietor of the Star Reel company. which made fishing reels. When he sold out his interest in the wire nail business to Mir. Hallock he continued the box and keg business and in this Colonel H. Holton Wood was associated with him, and the concern was finally merged into the New England Box com pany.
 A few years ago MT. Boothe sold out his interest in the latter company and continued the manufacture of box shocks, his company being known as the Eastern Box & Lumber company. aeE t1r,n ha haS haaU gagged in working out a merger Of the various shookw and lumber concerns in Canada and New England, and only few weeks ago succeeded ill bringing to- gether into the Coonial Box and Lum- ber company about eighty per cent. of these concerns.
 This combination is capitalized for fifteen million dollars, ana MT. Boothe was the vice-president and the active manager of the vast concern. The for nation of the company and the vast amount of detail work necessary to get it in running order had been great strain upon him. The affairs of the company are such that at the present time the indications are it will be very prosperous concern. The untimely death of MT. Boothe removes from it one of the strongest forces fer it's sue cess.
 His death was shock to the com munity, for it came with great sudden ness despite the fact that the people had been prepared to expect the worst. He was just at the beginning of what seemed to be a very promising business career and when the best years Of hls life would be given to developing large manufacturing industry,-Ans9- mia Sentinel.
