Everybody shakes hands with some
body. but only people who are doing 50
every day know the fashionable hand
shake.
The day of the high hand shake is
past, and a more graceful hand shake is
in vogue. The hand is extended from
the waist line, but not too far; but. as
one authority expresses it. with a mere
suggestion of restraint When the
hands meet there is a gentle movement
to the right side of the person who ex-
tends the greeting. then back to the
original position. the hands unclasp.
and the ceremony is over. 1t is much
more refined and graceful than the
shoulder movement which characterized
last seasons fashion.

NEW CONSTITUTION
Is Now in Contemplation by the Ser
Wan Revolutionists.

Belgrade. June 16-No further prog
ress has been made in the provision of
the constitution. Many say that the
present ministry is inclined to be con
sentative and desires to prevent the de-
liberations on the subject of the modifi-
cation of the constitution until the ar
rival of King Peter. thus giving the
new sovereign a free hand in granting
a new constitution. This is partly con-
firmed by the report of committee OF
the chamber appointed to revise the
constitution which had been instructed
to produce an entirely new one, based
on the constitution of 1888.

TALK OF THE RATHER.


What is ,rattlesnake's rattle
for" said John Lover. the zoo keeper,
in response to a question byla Phila-
delphta Record man.
1T is CALL" he resumed, answering
his own question. ''The rattlesnake
with 1t calls his mate. A man was
telling me the other day that he stud
led the rattle question last year In the
west. He said 1t is mainly as call
that the rattle is used, though different
sounds can be made with 1t, and those
sounds appear to have different mean
ings.
"Once this man saw seven hogs at
tack rattlesnake. The reptile began
to fight pluckily, and while he fought
he ratified loud and long. Three other
snakes came with great speed and
courage to his aid. A dreadful battle
followed. The snakes, though they
fought well, were all killed.
The rattle is also said to charm or
hypnotic birds so that the snake can
seize them easily, but in this story my
friend doesn't take much stock. It's
as g cali, he says, that the rattle is
used most-a love call, generally, with
which the male snake summons his
mate"

PHOTOGRAPHIC CLOUDS.

The function Of clouds in photo
graph, says J. Horace Mcfarland in
Country Life in America, is to give
what the artist calls atmosphere" to
the picture. When one looks across a
smiling landscape to the deep blue sky
of a cloud1ess day, the color supplies
this element Of distance, or atmos-
phere; but the same blue sky, when
presented to the eve as fiat and un-
broken expanse of white in the photo
graph, makes no suggestion Of pleasant
perspective 1t is as If white sheet
had been hung up Immediately In the
rear of the main subject Of the photo
graphic picture
Ii now the sky is changed from its
dead whiteness, and even one single bit
Of soft white cloud, such as is so char
acteristic pf the summer days Of Amer
lea, is introduced, there is an imme-
diate change, and the distance assumes
it's proper relation to the foreground.
But the ambitious photographer who
attempts to take a landscape picture
showing white. clouds in blue sky
makes usually a very disagreeable dis
covery when he develops his plate-he
has a solid white sky, and the clouds
are lost, the beautiful distance having
also disappeared with them. Mr. Nc
Farland describes how to retain the
clouds in a photograph and how to
print in" clouds from another
negative.

want them. And, anyway, they belong
to us.
These seven islands lying SO close
to British North Borneo, came to us
along with the sultan of Sulu. But we
lay claim to them, not because this
Sulu sultan has spiritual power over
the Mohammedans in some islands
without the Sulu group, and even over
Mohammedans residing in British
North Borneo, but because Of two trea-
ties; the first, a treaty between Great
Britain, Germany and Spain. wherein
Spain was given title to ali the islands
outside marine leagues distance Of
the Borneo coast: the second treaty
referred to the one between the United
States government and the sultan of
Jolo, in which agreement was made
that all the islands coded to Spain by
the treaty of 1885 should belong to the
United States. u
The seven islands recently visited by
the United States gunboat are unques-
tionably out Of the marine league limit
of this treaty, and authorities declare
the British have not shadow Of claim
to them. They are uninhabited and

tories, were placed under British pro
lection in 1888. British North Borneo
is under the Jurisdiction OF the Brit
ish North Borneo company, held under
grants from the sultans OF Sulu and Of
Brunei. The territory is administered
by governor (English) in Borneo
and a court of directors in London.
Our friend, the sultan of Sulu, seems
to have been considerable OF person
age in the past-and may yet be, for
all we know; both Great Britain and
Spain treating him with consideration.
Spain used to pay him an annual trib-
ute, and the North Borneo Trading
company still hands over to him a
yearly tribute of 5000 Mexican dol
lars. And yet in his own land the po-
tentate has welded but an uncertain
authority; where leach man is more
or less Of free lance, and his author
ity is measured largely by the number
of rifles he possesses"
