TEMPERANCE IN INDUSTRY.

The Methodist Temperance society
has been investigating the attitude OF
American industry toward liquor. with
rather surprising results. its inquiry
covered the iron and steel trades OF
Pennsylvania, Ohio. Illinois and West
Virginia. embracing the most import
ant plants in that great manufacturing
region. Corporations TO the number
of 102 answered the societys ques-
tions.
From the data gathered it appears
that only six out OF the 120 permit
the old custom. which was almost uni
versal not many years ago. OF sending
out for beer during working hours.
one hundred concerns say that they
not only forbid drinking during the
working time but do everything pos

GERMAN REFORMATION.

We can no longer dig up much en-
thusiasm over concessions" made by
the German government. Our diplo-
matte experience OF the past few
months has taught us to be cautious
in our ecstasies When it comes to
the kaiser yielding anything substan-
tial TO law and humanity and the full
fllment of treaty obligations, most
Americans have definitely taken up
their residence in Missouri. They
don't care 10 waste any more emo
tons over this diplomatic game. When
they are convinced by deeds that Ger
many means what she says about her
naval reforms, or means what Am
bassador Bernstorff says she says,
then they may relax their cynical
show me" attitude and give back to
Germany the frank confidence due an
honorable nation.
1t must be admitted. however, that
the reorganization of the German
naval staff looks very much like evil
dence Of a real change of heart in
Berlin. Admiral Won Tirpitz appears
10 have been shelved, along with the
policy of assassination for which he
stands The blood-and-iron doctrine
OF "frightfulness" seems to be repudi-

! been issued TO submarine commanders
to return to legal methods Of war
! fare, recognizing their obligation TO
respect neutral shipping, TO give all
non-cOm batants a chance for their
lives, and not 10 destroy any vessel Of
commerce except after due warning
or for just cause. Assurances, too,
have been sent to Washington tending
10 corroborate this reputed change OF
/ policy.
We shall see. If, for a reasonable
period. no more American lives or
property are destroyed unlawfuIly by
German submarines. we shall then
begin to look upon Germany as a
civilized neighbor worthy OF renewed
/ business and social relations.

The great Chinese population may

The fund, which If purely unofficial

Great enthusiasm is reported from
many cities where meetings have been
held TO solicit contributions Even

the Chinese refuse to use japanese

tainable-and have reverted to the
ancient flint and steel.
The boycott is in force in this
country, too. The American Chinese
not only refuse to buy Japanese goods
or handle such goods in their stores.
but in many American cities they are
discharging all Japanese in their en-
ploy, or refusing themselves to work
for Japanese.
Apparently China isn't absolutely
"Chinafied" by any means. China

yet compel the worlds respect.

HOW TO SHAKE HANDS.
Get the Grip First, According to Mer-
camille Recipe.

We have found that when you ap-
proach the person to shake hands if
you will get the grip on their hand be
fore they have time to grip yours you
have gained an advantage. The hand
should be slipped well into or over the
hand of the person you want to shake
with-that is, push the thumb and fore
finger of your hand well into the
thumb and forefnger Of the person
with whom you are shaking. DO 1t
rather quickly. and the instant you
feel that your hand is in place bring
the grip into play instantly. Don't
grip the hand hard enough to cause
pain to the person with whom you are
shaking. but yet give him good, firm
grip. After you have practiced a lit
tie YOU can tell just about how hard
YOU can squeeze without hurting the
other person.
Before your hands touch be sure that
you are looking the other person square
in the eye. Don't wait until you have
hold Of his hand, but watch his eye in
stantly, and if you will watch the eye
of the other one very closely you will
notice that when you bring the grip
into play you can see response in the
features of the other person.
Then it is a good idea Immediately
when you feel your hand touch the
other person to place your left hand on
his elbow. not below the elbow. but
back Of it, so as to be able to pull his
arm. as it were. toward yours. Don't
pull very hard. but just be firm about
It, Take hold Of the elbow joint with
lust a little tirmness. OF course these
things are all done practically at the
same time. and it will take a little
practice for you to be able to do this
and get the best results.-Merchants'

A LAND OF MURDERS.
Papua, Cold 5loOded Country Where
Life Is Held Cheap.

Papua has long been known as a
bloody land. 1t is a bloody land still.
Rut the blood Of white men is rarely
LET. and the wanton slaughter OF ma
tives. the one by the other-at least
in those fast widening regions which
are within the sphere Of the LAWS
fast diminishing. All this being so in
one wear. nevertheless. when there
were 215 prisoners committed for trial.
11S Of them were charged with murder
nine with manslaughter and five with
attempted murder.
To the civilized mind the motives TO
murder, shocking enough, to be sure
nor wanting an aspect Of grewsome
humor. are upon occasion incredible.
As they are matters Of record. how
ever, disclosed on painstaking invesu-
CATION. they are to be accepted, not as
IRRESPONSIBLE tales. such as wander
about the eastern seas, but as substan-
tial facts. however singular and incom-
prehensible they may appear.
1t is matter Of court record. for ex-
ample. that certain natives Of what is
called the coast range, being upon trial
for the murder of two carriers, whose
Threats they had cut. admitted the deed
without the least hesitation and sought
TO Justify the CHASTITY business upon
the ground that the carrier had appear
cd to be "cold and hungry''-dejected
fellows. far away from their village.
The prisoners had not eaten the car
riers. They had merely-with the most
cOnsiderate eXpeditiOn-cut the throats
Of the carriers, who were strangers, ut
any rate. and therefore Of no great con-
sequence. and no ingenuity of cross
questioning could elicit motive ul-
terror to the one so ingenuously adj
yanced-that the carriers, appearing TO
be "cold and hungry" We're. in the
opinion of the gentlemen who had in
continently cut their throats, much bet
ter dead.

planned that the sick man had created
annoyance and a considerable embar-
rassment as well by insistently re-
questing to be carried across the river

"Quite So" said the presiding officer.
"Why, then, didn't you carry him
across the river?"
"He was too heavy" replied the ma
tive. 1T would have put me to a great
deal Of trouble"
"Why did you kill him?"
"What else could l do? The man
was sick"
1t was out of the question to endure
the labor of carrying the sick man
across the river. 1t was equally out OF
the question to abandon the pitiable
object. Therefore the bewildered fel-
low had strangled him-the most OBJ
