A Frenchman who meets you half q

this eternal handshaking. In the little
Montmartre cafe which he and his

chain a carved wooden hand. When
he enters he goes to the hand and
shakes it vigorously. This makes a

WHEN INDIANS MAKE HASTE
Their Terror Of the Dead Causes Nav.
ajos to Hurry In the Disposal
Of the Body.

Another practise Of the Navajos
that promotes health among them,
however repugnant 1t may be to us, is
their disposition of the dead. In the
presence Of the living, the Navajo is
without fear, but his terror of the
dead is abject and unreasoning. The
dead are believed to be possessed
only of malevolent feelings toward the
survivors, with unlimited powers for
working evil upon those who careless
ly place themselves within the power
Of the spirits. So when any one dies,
the only anxiety Of the surviving rela-
tives is to get rid of the body as
quickly as possible. If there are any
white men living in the neighborhood,
an effort Is made to induce them to
perform the Offices of undertaken. II

made in the wall opposite to permit
the evil spirits to enter and depart.
and to warn passers-by that the stfuc-
ture belongs to the dead. If the death
occurred in rocky country, the body
will likely be taken to some crevice

ENEMY OF LIFE IS WORRY
And Il 10 Also Largely Matter Of
Habit, Which May in q Measure
Be Overcome.

Bravery in the face Of only possible
death, as on the battle field, and
bravery in the face of certain death.
as in the case of Titanic shipwreck,
are Of course two very different
things. The danger of the battle field
is much harder to meet because Of
its uncertainty. Men easily summon
courage to meet the inevitable.
It is the fear Of the mishaps and
perils Of ordinary life-all our breads,
worriments, anxieties, forebodings,
solicitudes, morbidities, apprehensions
Of illness or Of poverty-that need
most to be met and overcome. A vast
literature has sprung up within the
last two decades, telling us how to
be forewarned and forearmed against
all real and imaginary evils.
The gist Of that doctrine, boiled
down into two words is: Don't worry.
II you really must worry, then worry
rs little as you can. II you find your
self in sudden peril OF emergency, re-
gard the situation calmly and keep
very cool. If you are in imminent
danger Of being run over by motor
car, preserve your presence Of mind,
for motorists assert that It is only
the people who lose their heads who
get run over.
Exactly how nervous person, man
or woman, is to preserve the reQui-
site presence Of mind in a great and
sudden danger has never been ade.
quately set forth, though many very
entertaining volumes have been writ
