why We shake Hands.

To shake bands with a person Is
rightly regarded as a token Of amity.
but very few know bow this custom
arose.
According to q 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 attack
ing each other. This mark OF confi-
depce. however, did not prove sufficient
In all cases, for man may hold up his
right band and yet, IL he keeps II
closed, may have weapon concealed
in 1t, and therefore 1t 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 was
concealed in either of them. Formerly.
therefore, this gesture, now the token
Of loyalty and friendship, was one Of
reciprocal dlstrust.-New York Herald.

THE RIGHT OF PRIVACY.

Girls of America who have had the
good fortune to be born pretty. or who
have become pretty as they grew up
have had thrust upon them problem
of first Importance. ''The right IF
privacy" has been Jared off the legal
boards by the court of apeals of New
York. and hereafter the young woman
who wants to keep her counterfeit pre-
sentiment off -four bags, beer barrels,
whisky bottles, soap advertisements
and cigarettes will have TO think Of
some other way than "the right of
privacy to attain her ends. If there
is such thing as "the right of pri-
vacy',' judges are stumbling and dis
agreeing over it at such a rate that i
it likely to be mooted question for
many years.
Some twelve months ago a Roches-
ter, New York, young woman, ag-
grieved over the use of her photograph
on certain advertisements, sought such
redress as the courts could grant her.
making the plea that woman's beauty
was her inviolate property. and not
public material for advertisers. New
Yorks supreme court found that the
right of privacy" had been violated.
and granted an injunction. This deci-
sion has just been reversed bv the
court of appeals, which holds as fol-
lows
An examination of the authorities
leads us to the conclusion that the So
called right of privacy has not yet
found an abiding place in our juris-
prudence, and. as we view it, the doc
trine can not now be incorporated
without doing violence to settled prin-
ciples Of law by which the profession
and the public have long been guided.
Taking a broad view OF the matter,
the court reasoned that II any person
could keep his picture out Of a news
paper or of -four bag, he could also
enjoin any publisher from putting his
name in his paper, or prevent any
other person from writing or speaking
about him. OF course the Rochester
young woman and all others who foo,
they have been wronged, can drop the

recall 10 mind a story of an officer
IN the japanese emperors army which
was besiesing a fortress. Its number
was small and relieving army was
coming up. 1t was Of immense mo-
ment that they should know how long
the fortress could hold out. If 1t must
capitulate for want of supplies within
a week they could stay and win the
campaign for the emperor. young
Jananese nobleman volunteered to go
into the fortress and ascertain how
long il could hold out He disguised
himself. and in passing learned that 1t
had food and water for only two days
more.
AS he was going out with this pre-
cious information he was detected, ana
the enemy said to him. We are going
TO cruelty you. but we will let you on
on one conditlon-that you so to the
wall and tell your people that we have
supplies for a week"
He said, Very WELL" and went TO
the wall. His wife and children In the
besiegers' camp saw him, his friends
were there also, and he held up both
his hands and said to them: There
are supplies for but two days, Con-
tinue the siege and you will take the
place"

Ont Of One Clay.

Many years ago before the days or
railroads noblcman and his wife,
with their infant. were travelling
across Salisbury plain. AS the story Is
told In Mr.. A. +. Russelfs "Charac' er'
istics," they were overtaken by se'
we're storm and took refuge in lone
shepherds hut.
The child had taken cold before they
could find shelter and the nurse began
at once to uDdress 1t by the warm
cottage FIRE. AS she pulled on one
rich silken garment after another the
shepherd aud his wife looked on In
awed silence.
At last the process OF undressing was
completed and the little naked baby
was being warmed by the fire. There
it sat, with all its splendid outer husks
peeled of, its little body beginning to
glow In the hut by the fire. The shep-
herd drew long breath and exclaimed,
"Why, It's just like one of curs!'

How much did Congress in its recent
session appropriate? Representative
Livingstone of Georgia, a member of
the committee on appropriations, says
the direct appropriations. including
the isthmian canal, aggregate $500 1885,
SS7, and that there remains $3.50, ,379,-
215 to be added for contracts provided
for which sanction expenditures,
bringing the liabilities created for the
treasury up to $1,059, ,577, 052 1t was
accordingly billion dollar session"
after all This is an enormous pull
upon the taxpayers pockets. 1t may
be borne now, while times are good,
but this scale of expenditures will be
irksome when a reaction comes and
business is again stagnant.

A story of Mark Twain.

When Mark Twain was beginning
his career as humorous lecturer, he
one day arranged with woman ac-
quaintance that she should sit in box
and start the applause when he should
stroke his mustache. The lecturer
started of so well that he did not need
any such help, however. for he caught
the audience from the first. BY and
by. when not saying anything worthy
Of particular notice, he happened to
pull his mustache. and his anxious ally
in the box at once broke into furious
applause. Mark was all but broken up
by the misadventure, and ever after
ward carefully avoided employing
such help to success.

The PLAIN ISSUE.

In the Congressional elections which
come on in three and a half months
from this time, the Republican party
will face an issue on which it has di-
yided uncompromisingly in the last
Congress, which recently closed its first
session. This Is the issue of the tariff
The trouble began in the preceding
Congress, when the suggestion was
made that protection should be with
drawn from the great steel trust. 1t
was carried over into the Congress
which has recently adjourned, and
there it developed a wider scope AS
it stands at the present moment, and
as it will stand In the campaign now
about to open for the election of men,
bers of a new Congress, it is in effect a
question OF tariff for monopoly or
tariff for the people.
The revision of the Dingley tariff in
its entirety is a matter which the new
Congress will have to consider. 1t
has passed the stage in which q single
industry only is concerned. What
Congressman Babcock proposed in re-
lation to the steel trust is now pro-
posed in relation. to all other trusts,
and the necessity is seen to be the
same. Are the American people to De
taxed exorbitantly to maintain monop-
olies? That is the question that will
be asked OF every candidate for Con-
gress in every district in the United
States.
On this question the split OF the Re
publican majority in Congress fore

MORE Slaves FOR SHIE.

Since our investment in the Danish
islands in the volcanic belt, and our
benevolent assimilation of sultans and

is plain that European real estate
| sharps look upon Uncle Sam as a
sucker. 1t is possible that the carica
lures which have appeared from time

created the belief in the "old world"
that Uncle Sam is easy" On what
other hypothesis is it possible to ex-
plain the reported offer of the Dutch
government to sell the United States a
part of the New Guinea archipelago?
Queen Wilhelmina wants to get rid
OF this portion of her possessions, it is
said, and her government has indi-
Gated its willingness to give Uncle

The city ought to keep good faith
with il.
If the city of Tucson is to retain the
confidence of foreign capital, invited
to invest here, its public officials, from
the standpoint of prudence as we'll as
common fairness and justice, should
deal equitably and honorably with
vested interests. There is a moral
question involved In the pending pro-
posal. The men who put hundred
thousand dollars or more in the electric
light company were given every reason
to believe that they would receive fair
treatment and that only fair dealing
onl good service would be exacted of
them. The city should live up to its
promise. The gentlemen who are ask
ing for a franchise have no right to it.
II it is given to them as a favor it
should be so safeguarded that the peo-
Pile will not be victimized Franchises
should not be granted so that their
owners could sell them, or to compel
the owners OF existing franchises to
buy. If franchise is granted to the
present applicants, they should be
compelled to give bond to do certain
work within certain time, to run
their plant twenty-four hours a day
summer and winter, spring and au-
tumn, and II they dispose of it within
a given period that it should be for
fe!'ed. Make franchises a medium or

not an asset for speculation or barter.

The reply Of the meat barons to
President Roosevelt's talk of enforcing
the antitrust law is a more open de-
fance than has ever been offered by
those lawless tariff beneficiaries, the
trusts. The announcement is made
that the combination is to be extended
to take in all the leading meat pack
ing houses OF the country, and that
eminent captain OF industry, John D.
Rockefeller, Is back Of the movement.
This action, so soon after Reosevelt's
tame surrender to the sugar trust, Is
very significant. Evidently the meat
magnates are not afraid of any inter-
ference, and Rockefeller must be salts
fed that there will be none, or he
would not go into the project. The
trusts are forcing the solution of this
problem on the people unrelentingly.
