A hostess should shake hands with
every guest who comes to her house,
both on their arrival and departure.
Women do not shake hands when in.

presented by a friend to married
woman the latter shakes hands with
her, but the girl must not make the
first advance.
Men shake hands when introduced to
each other as an expression OF good
Will. When leaving an entertainment
man shakes hands with the hostess

are near, but he must not go about

practically all the gold that is shipped

southern Pacific win Educate Its Own
Mechanics

Reno. New, Aug. S.-The Southern
Pacific company is to begin the ex-
pertinent of educating its own me-
chanics. orders have just been re-
oeived from headquarters to begin
the erection of school building on
the railroad grounds at Sparks.
1t will be used by this company in
instructing the apprentices in the diff
ferent branches of the work now be-
ing done An the shops. The aim is to
give the young man a course in math
ematics as well as in manual training.
Skilled engineers aud mechanics will
be employed to instruct the youth in
the practical part of the work while
the school itself will be in charge of
the department of mechanics of the
University of Nevada, Professor
Scroggam being assigned to that de-
partment.
Graduates from this new school
will be given positions with the COM
pany as rapidly as vacancies occur.
II is believed that this is the first of
series of similar schools that will
be established by the Southern Paci-
fic at different points along its sys-
tenn.

THE HUMAN BRAIN.
II IL Our Most Highly Specialized
and VitalIzed Organ.

The story of the brain as scientists
have gradually unfolded its peculiar
construction is Of marvellous interest
This pulpy and apparently homo.
geneous mass Is revealed TO us as the
most highly specialized and vltalized
organ In the human body. 1t consists
of hundreds Of millions Of separate
and independent organisms, once
known as nerve cells, but now called
''neurones." These units of the brain
are independent bodies and consist Of
cell body, its axis and its branches.
The cell body contains within its GOV.
ering membrane elements which gen
crate the nerve force or energy. The
axis Is the nerve or medium which
conveys that force, and the branches
are the means Of communication OF
the neurOnes with each oth4 and with
the organs and tissues to which the
nerve is distributed. The life history
Of these microscoplcal bodies is the
same as the cells of other organs and
tissues They are implanted before
birth and may remain dormant for
lifetime. If stimulated to activity they
enlarge through more abundant nutri.
ton, but waste and atrOphy when the
stimulant is removed. They are under.
going constant changes through the
process Of nutrition and from the in.

them by objects within and without

THE HUMAN NOSE.
Facts and Comments About This Most
Characteristic Feature.

Characteristic Feature.
nose which in any way suggests
our ape-like ancestors, whether snub
fattened or abnormally small, is
deemed ugly. Generally speaking, the
long pose belongs to the people of Eu
rope, whereas the negroes and Mongo
lians pave short noses. With the Eski
mo the nose is said to be in many cases
so fat that a ruler might be placed so
as to rest upon both cheeks without
touchlug it. In the man the muscles Of
the nose have little feXibility except
about the nostrils, which vislbly dilate
and contract under the influence Of
passion.
MantegaZZa has remarked that among
civilized people the nose is nearly al
ways DETECTED toward the right, which
he attributes to the custom Of wiplng
the nose with the right hand. Leonardo
da Viuci discovered that there were
over ten different varieties of nose
seen in profile and eleven when looked
at In front. Charles Blanc considered
the nose the most characteristic fea-
ture OF the face and recommended Ia
dies to regulate the style of their dress
with reference TO its shape, and Lava
ter went so far as TO assert that a
beautiful nose was worth more than a
kingdom; that it is never associated
with a ugly face.-International Quar-
terly.

A dimpled, blinking boy baby, 8
days OLD. was a passenger en- the tour-
list car on westbound o. r. & N. train
today, and of this youngster there is
much to say.
While the Colorado Midland over
land train was speeding westward at
the rat of so miles an hour last Fri
day night the mother of this urchin,
Mrs. r. Bertnall of st. Louis, gave
birth to him, as the train was crossing
the state line between Colorado and
Utah, and for the life of him he can
never tell exactly which is his native
state, so complicated was the situation
on the tourist car where he was born,
for the time being.
Mother and child are well and are
none the worse for their extraordinary
experience. Mrs. Bertnall fully ex-
pected to reach the home Of her sis
ter in Portland before the birth of her
boy. but left st. Louis three days too
late to accomplish her wish.
1t was the first child ever born on
"A Colorado Midland train and the
conductor at first was determined to
stop and put the woman off at some
convenient station where she could
receive suitable care and assistance
but DIR. Orrin Mex. Mitchell of New
York city who was a passenger on
the train, offered his services and II
was finally decided to permit the
woman to proceed on her journey.

ance to the mother and child during
the hot journey across Utah and

will reach Portland tonight after a
