Shaking Hands.

The custom of shaking hands origi-
mated In the ancient practice of adver-
saries grasping the weapon hand dur
ing a truce as precautiOn against
treachery. When two friends met they
extended their weapon hands to each
other as sign that there was no need
to stand on the defensive, and hand
shake was but the natural outcome Of
a hearty and vigorous grasp.
Shaking hands appears to have be-
come usual in the middle ages. Grasp
ing hands made it's appearance in early
times as a legal act symbolic of the
parties joining in compact, peace or
friendship. This is we'll seen in mar
rage, where the hand grasp was part
of the ancient Hindoo ceremony, as
was the ''dextrarum junctio' of Rome,
which has passed into the Christian
rite. We see it also used as a mere salu-
tation, as where the tiresome acquaint-
ance met by Horace in his stroll along
the Via Sacra seized his hand.

REDUCTION IN WAGES
AFFECTING 10000 MEN
H. c. Prick Company Attempting
to Put the Scale Back to
Former Figures.

CONNELLSVILLE. Pa, Dec. IA re-
duction in wages averaging IL per cent. and
affecting $1,000 men in the Connellsville coke
regions was announced to-day. The II. C.
Prick Coke Company takes the initiative In
this. the first reduction since the great
strike of the early nineties and to-day post
ed notices at all their plants announcing
the reductions. Just a year ago an increase
of 10 per cent. was announced by the COM
pany. Nothing but advance notices have
been posted by the companies of the region
since 1896, and the average advance since
Feb. !, 1894, has been 6 per cent.
The new rate is somewhat above the basis
of the former 81 coke scale and indicates
that the Prick Company intends to make
a stand for something like a 81 minimum
price for furnaces Notwithstanding the fact
that many sales have been reported below
that figure.
simultaneously with the announcement
OF a reduction in wages. the Union Supply
Company. the owner Of all the COMPANY
stores at the plants OF the Prick and allied
companies announced a general cut In the

rights, said: "Of course. a State has Ger

"The question in this case is not whether
Congress can regulate and has regulated

the owners OF such capital stock regulate
