There Are Many Kinds Of Hands and
Many Ways Of Shaking Hands.
Did you ever notice the difference
In hands and handshakes? Well,
there is q difference, and it's mighty
Interesting. too.
One person will offer you q big,
brawuys hand that gives a good,
hearty shake, while another hand that
Is just as big and trawny will feel
like log.
Some one else will offer you a
hand that you could reach around
with your little finger. and yet the
grasp is warm and sympathetic. while
the same hand worn by another will
feel like slender icicle. and the
quicker you let go the better.
Then, there are the fat hands, the
long hands, the short hands mot
geographically speaking) and many
other kinds of hands, but 1t all de-
ponds on how the wearer uses them
as to whether or not you care to
shake again.
The manner OF shaking is worth
noticing also. Some folks come to
you with straight arm jab, others
u.s. cherry picking movement and
make you reach up to level with
your forehead, others grab your hand
as low down as possible, while there
are others who bend their arms SO
that you not only shake again, but you
rub arms from the elbow to the
fingers.
And then there are those who
shake hands naturally and gracefully.

Trees In England Have Been Under
ground 1000 Years.
A wonderful relic of the past has
been brought to light at Yaxley, Pc
terborough, in the discovery of what
is most probably buried forest. At
a depth of seven feet have been found
number of oak trees which have
lain buried for some 1000 years.
Most of the trees are almost perfect
in condition, and are being sold to
furniture manufacturers and others.
Altogether about eighty trees have
been raised, and hundreds more are
left in the ground untouched at
depth of five or six feet. In nearly
all the cases the roots are found at
tached. The trees are in clusters of
three or four. pointing in different d.
rectfons, and in some instances they
lie across each other.
The wood Is extremely hard, and
can only be worked by machinery;
it turns the edge of an axe. Some of
the trees are being cut up for use in
the mysterious mansion which is be-

Chicago School Teacher Gives Rsa.
sons for Her Theories.
We forget who 1t was that coined
the phrase, "all big things come from
Chicago" but we would like to add
that occasionally some big thoughts
are also born in that metropolis OF
the West.
A Chicago teacher, who we may add
is at yet heart and husband free,
evolved the interesting theory that as
life companion cat is far more
preferable than a man.
After enumerating the faults of an
average husband, she proceeded to
tell of the high qualities of cat. and
when she came to that part in her ora
ton when comparisons became neces-
sary, poor husbands had not leg to
stand on.
The three strongest points that she
made were that cats trim their own
whiskers, never complain and, II they
happen to come home late In the wee
small hours, they do not invent ex-
cuses, and though guilty Of nnisbe-
havior, they never walk diagonally
across the room, chewing second
rate cigar and vainly endeavoring to
make themselves understood
Well, it seems as If the cats had
the better of it, and SO far no de-
fender of poor downtrodden man has
appeared on the scene.-Exchange.
