MEANING IN %HAMDSHAKES.
As Suggested Thereby a Man Tells a
Short Story of a Parting Shake.

They had been talking about various
ways of shaking hands and had pretty well
gone over the ground covered by all the
philosophic writings on handshakes, when
one of the men in the group said:
1.-THE most impressive handshake l ever
saw was given by one man to another.
There was no kinship. between them.
Each was abouG forty. Both were in
perfect health. One had the pr0specfs-ef"
many years of life. The other was to die
within a minute, and the man whose hand
he held was to kill him.
1T seemed TO me then that 1 could read
the meaning Of the handshake given by
the man about to die to the man about
to kill him. 1t seemed to say: You are
a good man, and 1 like you. 1 thank you
for many acts of kindness, and especially
for this final friendly grasp
Then, with a gently lingering cling, he
let the other mans hand slip from his
own. There was a volume of meaning
bound UP i'll. that motion.
ut seemed to say that there were the
man whose hand he was releasing, but for
him a few oments more OF life, and
then. 1t seemed to say that there wa
an age of human compromising In every
il. slant while the hands touched.
1T seemed to say that when the clasp
was broken he was forever u on IRON
the living. and was as one dead. Ana
many other things it seemed to say that
cannot translate into words.
Within a few seconds one of the men
had given the signal that ended the LIE o.
thu other.
at was a case" the story teller con-
tinued. ''of the hanging Of a man In Con-
necticut for murder. While under the IN
huenee of liquor with other men he had
dealt one Of them a blow that resulted In
his death.
THE condemned man was not by nature
or inclination a criminal. He had never
been arrested before he was taken into
custody for murder.
THE sheriff who shook hands with him
on the gallows just before the drop fell had
a genuine liking for him. He offered the
condemned man the usual merciful portion
of liquor before the execution, but the man
refused it.
by the way, ] have seen several persons
hanged, and think this man was the only
one / ever saw go to the scaffold without
being 'doped' with liquor, and he was the
steadiest in nerves of them all. His only
betrayal of weakness, If it was such, was
his noticeable cliHging to the sheriff's hand
before releasing itr'-NeW York Sun.

ANTI-CHRISTMAS
TREE MOVE FAILS,

Many women who want to introduce
something to take the place Of Christmas
trees, on the plea that forests will become
devastated by constant cutting of trees for
one object or another, are distressed by a
report from st. Stephen, N. B. This says
that cutting Of fir trees in New Bruns-
wick for export to the United States, to
be used as Christmas trees, has reached
larger proportions this season than ever
before. The American buyers have found
that 1t is much cheaper to get the trees
from Canada than from Maine. The
Canadian stumpage price and wages for
labor being much below the American
rates, and with no duty imposed on the
expectation pf the trees, the conditions
all favor Canada in its rivalry with Maine
for the Christmas tree business in the
United States. 1t is estimated that the
province OF New Brunswick win export at
least 10000 trees to the American mar
ket for the Christmas trade. The prices
offered are generally regarded as high.

PREPARE THE
CHRISTI MAS TURKEY,

Stuflng the Christmas turkey is an
art not TO be dcspised. Heavy, moist,
soggy dressing will injure the best
fowl ever fed for the December mar
ket, while a crisp. w~ell-favored, tasty
filling will redeem a poor poultry artle'e,
says an exchange.
Here are three recipes furnished by
a former chef of the famous Delmon-
leo:
Plain American dressing--Soak a
quarter of a pound of stale bread in
cold milk ten minutes and then press
out the milk. Toss the bread into a
bowl and add two ounces of finely
chopped beef marrow which your
butcher will weigh exactly for you,
half a t-easpoonfuI of chopped parsley,
a teaspoonful of chopped celery, a salt
spoon of powdered thyme, three salt
spoons Of salt. two saltspoons OF
white pepper. Chop half a white onion
of medium size and brown 1t In a e
spoonful of butter; add this mixture
to the dressing, then with a big spoon
mix lightly together, adding last the
well-beaten yolk of an egg. This will
stuff a small turkey, such as is bought
for a family of four. 1t must be in
creased in exact proportions for a tur-
key twice or thrice as large.
To make oyster dressing, use the
same ingredients given above except
the thyme. This should be omitted,
md a pint of small whole oysters
mixed In with the dressing for a large
turkey.
Chestnut dressing-Use the large
Italian chestnuts. Boil fifteen of these
in sailed water for thirty minutes.
Drain, peel and place in a large bowl.
Add two slices of bread soaked in
water a few minutes. In a saucepan
brown half a medium-sized onion and
half an ounce of lean raw ham in
half an ounce of butter. Add this
brown mixture to the bread and chest
nuts. Next chop a raw chicken liver
very fine. with -four branches of pars-
ley n half a sound garlic Glove. Add
these, with a sa1tspoon of powdered
thyme, half a saltspoon of salt and a
saltspoon of pepper. Mix thoroughly
and stuff the bird firmly. This guam
tity should be doubled for a large
turkey. 1t Is the true Italian dress
ing, and the combination of chestnut
and garlic flavor is i~ndescribably tasty.

Sometimes / think it is good to make
New Year resolutions, and again l
wonder whether it is or not.
The forming of a resolution requires
a certain amount of thinking, and If we
think for long about a fault, and then
resolve to mend 1t, we have made +
selves more conscious of it's existence
than we were before; and even If the
resolution is broken we have gained
something in making the effort TO keep
it, and there is a strong probability
that we will start in to make a new
record.
Thus it would seem that resolutions
are of some good, even When they are
not kept.
On the other hand, the breaking of a
resolve is an admission that we have
not the strength of character and pur-
pose necessary for its keeping.
It makes us despise ourselves as weak
and powerless against influence and
makes us wonder if we would succumb
to a greater temptation should we meet
it. And If we dwell on it, this feeling
of contempt for self is apt to grow and
make us "don't-carish."
This is not good, for to do their best
men ana WOI1eH iHuSl oeieNe III anu
respect themselves. Self-reliance and
confidence of ability is necessary to the
accomplishment of anything worth
while by any person.
It is a matter for the individual to
decide for himself.
If he feels that the very making of a
resolution will make him better, and
that its possible breaking will only
mean the forming of another, with a
firmer desire to keep it, let him resolve
as much as he likes.
But If he feels that the resolution is
his last chance; that he is liable to
break it, and that if he does break 1t
he will give up trying, let him keep
away from resolutions as from a
draught Of slow poison.

DAINTY ~HAMDKERCHIEFS.

For $25 one can buy a lovely duchess lace
handkerchief; for twenty-five cents one
can buy a pretty handkerchief dainty
enough for a duchess. There is a vast
dierence in these little aairs. uBt when
looks over the countless beauties, none
has that dainty touch like the fine hem
stitched handkerchief, showing the small
embroidered initial. Just now the small
Roman initial enjoys the distinction of
decorating both mems and women's hand
k~erchiefs. The Armenian lace aairs are
dainty for their usual purpose, and are ex-
qulsite in the formation of pretty fancy
work. Colored handkerchiefs remain in
vogue and are worn with tailored suits OF
the same color.
