lieved there will be further heavy in
creases.
The office went into first class as
Of July 1 by reason of the huge in
crease in the calendar year 1885 over
1881, but no additional service has
been provided by the Post Office De-
partment for patrons of the Hender-
son office.
The office is to be moved around
September to temporary quarters on
East Montgomery street while the
present building is being enlarged by
about so percent and remodeled and
modernized throughout. There is a
feeling that perhaps additional ia
cilities may be provided after the
transfer into temporary quarters is
made. There is no definite announce
ment or promise to that effect, how
ever.

Gree+inqs!

Not all peoples greet each other
with our familiar handshake. For
example, the hug and squeeze,
cheek to cheek, is used in
France. Among the New zea-
landers, the Malays, Burmese,
Indo-C Chinese, the Mongolians and
even the Eskimos and Laplanders
the 'shongi'' is the thing. This
consists in touching noses lightly.
The word itself means to
tssmell.' When a Chinese is IN
troduced he shakes hands with
himself.
The Italians and Germans have
revived the ancient Roman greet
ing as a military salute. Reports
from Ethiopia, or Italian East
Africa, as it is now called, indi-
cate that the Italians are teach
ing their new subjects to greet
each other in the old Roman way
by extending the arm upward
with the palm to the front.
Each form of greeting has a
meaning all its own. The hand
shake and the Roman salute, for
example, began as a gesture
showing that the hand was free
of weapons. Washington Post.
