When Mark Twain was beginning

pull his mustache. and his anxious ally

Mhr We shake Hands.

To shake hands with person Is
rightly regarded as token Of amity.
but very few know how this custom
arose.
According to n French ethnologist.
whenever two men met in former times
they were accustomed to hold up their
right hands In front of them as sign
that they had no intention Of attack
ing each other. This mark Of conf
dence, however, did not prove sufficient
In all casee- tor man may bold up his
right nand aud yet, If he keeps 1t
closed. may have weapon concealed
in it. and therefore II became the Gus
tom for the two right hands to grasp
each other, as only thus could full as
surance be given that no weapon waa
concealed In either Of them. Formerly.
therefore. this gesture, now the token
of loyalty and friendship. was one CT

LEES KIND
NESS OF HEART.


4 kinsnIan Of mine, who fought
on the losing side IN the late war,
gave me these pleasant anecdotes of
Robert E. Lee, says a man in the
St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
= was adiutant of a cavalry reg
iment which took part in the West
Virginia campaign of Lee in 1861
One day my colonel invited me to
accompany him to headquarters,
which | was very glad to do, hoping
to hear something of my family in
Richmond, whom the general-re-
Gently in that city-knew well.
We found him sitting at the door
Of his tent, which was pitched at
the top of a rather steep hill. He
gave us cordial welcome and to
me the home news | desired. While
the conversation was in progress
an orderly came galloping up the
hill. and dismounting. handed the
general a dispatch He held it in
his hand without breaking the seal,
and said to the soldier: You have
ridden your horse hard and he Is
very much distressed; unbuckle the
girtas and let him breathe ;"
another and more striking illus
tration Of this tenderness of heart
in the great commander occurred at
Petersburg during the closing weeks
of the siege. General Lees head
quarters was in a private house
beyond the reach, it was thought,
of the Federal artillery. One morn
ing he was standing, with several
members of his staff, under a large
tree, when heavy shell landeHnOt
far distant. Gentlemen" esaid,
the enemy have evidently got in
range, and we had better retire.
OF course, nobody would retire I'M
til the chief set the example. The
next moment another shell crashed
through the top of the tree above
their heads, and all followed his
advice-except himself. He stop
poland for what, do you suppose?
The shells had knocked down a nest
full of young birds, and when the
retreating officers looked back they |
saw General Lee pick up the nest
and place it carefully n one of the
lower branches of the ree.-Inter-
Ocean.

HOUSEHOLD HIM

If silver be dipped for a few sec
onds into hot concentrated sOln-
ton of copper chloride, withdrawn
and washed quickly in clear water,
it will acquire a bright rose color.
A small amount of wheat -four
stirred in the cornmeal used to
make mush for frying, will prevent
all breaking or rumbling. About
one teacupful of flour to eight of
meal is the correct proportion.
Zinc may be quickly cleaned by
washing first with soap and water,
and wiping dry, then rub thorough
ly with a cloth saturated with
kerosene, and polish until the en-
tire surface is shining
For burns and scalds nothing is
so effective as lime water and sweet
oil. Take equal parts of each, shake
well IN a bottle, then apply. Old
muslin is very good and will not
draw" Saturate well and tie on.
To wipe the pan upon which you
have fried meat, or which has held
grease of any kind, with soft paper
before washing it, saves the hands,
keeps the dishwater cleaner and
the dishcloth in better order.
Onion syrup Is a most excellent
remedy for a severe cold or anv
lung difficulty. Slice an onion,
sift sugar over it and cover tightly.
allowing it to stand several hours.
Small quantities of it can be given
to very young children.
In mending gloves, use fine cot
ton, as silk is fariapt to cut the kid.
If the rent is in seam, turn the
glove inside out and sew them over
and over. If the tear is in the
eIoye, set piece of kid under it
and secure with few stitches.

Protecting Fruit Trees.

At the Missouri station num-
ber Of tests for winter protection
have ipen tried. In that locality
the nKrst common Cause of winter
killing is freezing of buds after
they have been stimulated into
growth by warm weather during
winter or early spring. One
method reported is based on the
fact that light colors absorb less
heat than dark. Experiments
with the thermometer show that
the difference of ten and fifteen
degrees is observed between pur-
pie and white bulb. The method
consisted of spraying them with
limo whitewash. As this did not
adhere we'll in rainy weather one
part Of skim milk to about five
parts of water and one pound of
salt to each bucketful Of white
wash gave more satisfactory
results. -Four sprayings during
fall and winter, using about one
half bucketful of whitcwash to
each tree at each spraying was
found sufficient. The total ex-
pense need not be over 10 cents
per tree. Several other methods
were tried at this station. Draw
ing the branches together and sur
rounding the top with cornstalks
and binding the whole into buu-
die gave good results. The pro-
tected trees bloomcd two days
later and remained several days
k'nger than the unprotected ones.
Eighty per cent of the buds on
protected trees were uniniured,
while only 20 per cent of the un-
protected ones were not damaged.
Canvas hay tops proved equal to
