ECCENTRIC ART EXPLAINED.

Painters-it is not quite necessary
to call them "artists'-who belong
to the schools designated by such
names as "cubist' and "futurist, +"
can find themselves and their curious
productions explained with what, to
those painters and to their admirers,
will be decidedly painful plausibility
in the leading editorial article in the
current issue of the New York Medi-
cal Record.
The writer of this article does not
make the mistake of which SO many
of us have been guilty-that of de-
claring these pictures as meaningless
as they are ugly. On the contrary,
he asserts that they are full of sig
nificance. 1t is, however. only signifi-
canoe that can be brought out only by
an application of the principles and
methods of psychoanalysis. That
done. all their mysteries are soon dis
sipated. and the result is a valuable
contribution, not to the realm of art,
but to that of mental pathology.
What the futurist does is to reveal
his own struggles with reality and en-
vironment, and the partial adjustment
thereto which he has succeeded in es
tablishing through these projections

ORIGIN OF HANDSPRING.

There are many curious ideas in re-
gard to the origin of the, handshake.
Some people think that~it was the
custom handed down from the days
when the lines of society were closely
drawn. Others have thought that
the handshake originated with the
most common classes of early English
times and that it was a bond of true
friendship not recognized in the arts
tocratic circles.
AS a matter of fact, the custom of
shaking hands dates gack to the days
of barbarism. In those days every
man carried a dagger in his belt be-
cause he did not know when he had
to defend himself. But when one
friend met another it was considered
necessary to show that his errand
was a peaceful one by holding his
hands in front of him, palms extend
ing outward. The one who was thus
met repeated this token Of assurance
of friendlineSs, and the most natural
thing happened-that is, they clasped
each others hands. A little later,
when the dagger became more use
less, it was worn simply as an orna-
ment But the custom of stretching
out the hands continued. This grad
ually changed until the extending of
one hand and the clasping that of
the friend only remained
From this the handshake grew to
be a conventional form of greeting;
the refusal of a hand thus proffered
was taken as an insult, and duel
usually followed, which often result
ed in the death of one of the princi
pals.
The different fads which we have
found creeping in, such as holding
the hands high or merely touching
the tips of the fingers, are interest
ing to study. For example, the hand
shake with the elbow held high re
suited from simple little boil thai
one of the princes of, England ha6
under his arm. This high handshak
ing was purely accidental and never
intended to be set as fashion, bu
inasmuch as this particular prince
often set the fashion, the people a
court one day saw him greet some
friends in this manner and immedi
ately judged that from then on tina
must be the proper way to SHAKE
hands.

INSECTS ARE CURIOUS.

In many ways the structure of in
sects is wonderful. They are gifted
with muscles of extraordinary
strength and are yet destitute of
bones to which those muscles can be
attached. They possess a circulatory
system and are without a heart.
They perform acts involving the exer-
else of certain mental qualities and
are without a brain. But more re-
markable still, they breathe atmos-
pheric air without the aid of lungs.
If we take any moderately large in
sect, say wasp or a hornet, we can
see even with the naked eye that a
series of small spotlike marks runs
along either side of the body. These
apparent spots, which are generally
eighteen or twenty in number, are in
fact the apertures through which the
air is admitted into the system and
are usually formed in such a manner
that no extraneous matter can by any
possibility find entrance.

RULE THY TONGUE.

Little boy or girl, some day you
will be young man or young lady,
and to be sure, you want to be good
one and have many friends. There
are cartoons and funny pictures cur
rent, when a fellow needs
friend and it is always when he is
in trouble. This is quite true and
should be lesson to every boy and
girl to try to have as many friends as
possible. A good friend will bring
more happiness into our lives than
$1,000, and yet you sometimes don't
care very much if you have one as a
friend or an enemy.
Do you know what Is the greatest
danger and the commonest way you
lose your friends? 1t is by that wag-
CLING tongue in your mouths. You
like to talk, and it is nice if you talk
about good things; but how often
do you talk about bad things, say
things about other boys or girls that
aren't nice and perhaps not true?
When those of whom you say some
thing that would hurt their feelings
hear about it, you have an enemy for
ever.
