pictures can be clipped from the

baby faces the pictures must be neat

OF paper so that the effect will be
that of a hundred or more babies
looking out of window frame. Some
are crying. some are smiling and
some look pert and saucy. II you are
fond of birds, make combination
picture of them, or you can have a

pictures of public men is a good plan
too, for it familiarizes one with cele

CUSTOM OF SHAKING HANDS
Display Of Friendly Feeling orIqIn
ated When Men Were In Habit Of
Carrying Swords.

Did you ever ask yourself why you
shake hands with persons whom you
know? Here is the reason:
In the old days. when every man
who had any pretensions to being a
gentleman carried sword. 1t was the
custom for men when they met to
show that they had no intention OF
treachery to offer each other their
weapon hands-that is, the hand that
would be used to draw the sword, and
to withhold the hand was usually the
signal for fight. p.
So fixed did this habit become that
long after men ceased to wear swords
they still offered the weapon hand to
friend and declined to offer 1t to an
enemy. To this day when you refuse
to shake hands with person 1t signi
fies that you are at war. Among
savages, who never carried swords,
the practice Of shaking hands is un
known, and 1t affords them amusement
to see the white men do 1t.
