II FOLKS SHE USDS’
A Few Type* With Which Mott of U»
Are Familier.
.% Lack of Fervor In the Clreetlng—Condesceo-
elan—4 Cold, Clammy drip—The Pomp Handle.
Sinking—Dlnnlfled—The Urip of Friendship.
GERMAN UNIVERSITY DUELS.
The bony shake is uot routined to eitlior
sex; it may bo found alike in tall and short,
:*tout and thin; and consists of an offer of the
bones only of the right hand; not until your
band closes round the shaker’s palm can you
feel the coldness, the lack of fervor in the
^greeting; there is no responsive grip to your
own, but the muscles only of the Ungers and
the palm lie in your, hand, as though you
•were handling that which may be fitly de
scribed as belonging to one of the lemon
squeezers of society, one who is a wet blanket
on all enjoyment, sees clouds in sunshine, cof
fins in the candle, whoso folk sets your teeth
on edge, and in whose uuexpressive eyes yon
-can find no trace of sympathy or feeling.
The bony fingers should have already warned
jyou that to trust such a one will entail on
.you disaster and defeat
The Condescending Shake.— Have you
mover felt it! How lightly the fingers (some
times three, seldom four and never the whole
.band) drop into your palm; you do the shak-
■In*. because the condescending fingers lie
;passive in your grasp, and the hand itself
would tell you, if it could, how much it feels
'the ineffable sweetness of its own disposition
:ln even allowing you so great a privilege.
'The same hand once maybe met yours with a
,grasp as genial as your own, but you have
.remained stationary, whereas Tom had a
windfall, and curions, isn’t it, to see cause
/tend effect? The genial handshake has be
-come more high toned and placid, and tbs
nervous grasp of the fingers is changed for a
.gentle dropping of the digits in your out
stretched hand.
The Fishy Shake.—Cold and clammy strikes
“the hand you grasp, giving you a feeling of
•dissatisfaction and disgust as you instinctively
Abink of Uriah Heep, and, under one pretext
or another, furtively take out your pocket
handkerchief to wipe off the moisture which
iSeems to have passed from the palm of the
.shaker into yours. Possessed, as a rule, by
those whose tempers have gone wrong, whose
milk of human kindness has turned sour, or
whose hidden purposes it is impossible to
:fathom, the clammy hand frequently belongs
to those with whom it is not plensant to deal.
In all fiction the ghostly hand is icy cold, or
•else a fishy, clammy grasp—either will do to
fill up the harrowing detail. Even grim death
bimself is supposed to touch us with a similar
-grasp. Take warning in time; never try and
•perpetrate a joke with a man who 1ms a fishy
liandslmke for a gieel ing.
The Mechanical Shake.—Who is not fa
miliar with the action of a pump handle as it
is pushed up and down, and in some hand
shakes the same principle is at work. There
is no sou! in it; the lifting up and down of
the arm, which, when it is released, falls
•down flat against the owner’s side; the me
chanical utterance of a few commonplace
words spoken like an automaton, all these tell
you enough of the character of the man who
•stands before you. You cannot gather grapes
from thorns, or else you might expect mira-
•cles to occur again on earth; and if you
think there is any enthusiasm below the sur
face in the- mind of the mechanical shaker,
why all we ask is try and force it out of him
if you can.
The Gushing Shake.—The how-are-you
csliako, with the how very large and loud, the
ssort of greeting that fairly takes your breath
away and makes you fear you will he eaten
before you know it—tho jolly man or the jolly
woman, to whom life Is a pleasure and whose
•existence is a series of delights, who wants
•everybody to be ns happy ns ho is himself and
whose flow of spirits fairly infects you witli
■.some measure of the same good humor; your
usual sobermindedness, may he, comes to the
X'eseuo just in time, however, and you get
•over the slight attack of unwonted frivolity;
;yet when the shaker has gone it almost seems
-os if n ray of sunshine had shown on you, and
the day seems all the brighter for the gleam.
Tho Dignified Shake.—Much affected by
file professions. You are, may tie, immersed
In some pursuit for tho good of mankind at
large, or for your own special town (for we
trust you aro respectable and belong to some
where) ; big with importance, you stroll along,
•and, so strolling, you meet the dignified
shako; you had thought of communicating
;your opinions to tho Indy or gentlemnn you
lmve now met, but—one touch of the hand,
•and away fl es tho fancy! Like the frozen
nn ton of tho antipodes, you will want thaw
ing in the warmth of friendship before you
•can talk to any one again; and, as the gush
ing shaker gave you life and light, so the dig
nified shaker gives you a douche of cold
water, which takes away your energy and
.•spirits for the day.
The Friendly Bhake.—The hearty grasp,
which, without being too violent, either
•to crush the bones or to hurt the fin
gers, is yet warm enough, fervid enough,
to tell you that the shaker’s heart is
right. You have only to look into the eyes
-of such a one to be able to read the honesty
of purpo-u that shines through the lamps of
the soul; a grasp that tells of a loving heart,
in whose recesses there are sympathies that
can share the woes as well as tho joys of oth
ers; that can afford to laugh at the narrow
minded, the selfish and the wicked; but can
offer to those whom they respect the genial
bund shake, wherein every muscle, every
nerve, tells of a desire to do all they can to
cheer the path in life of those they meet, and
inspire within their fellow creatures’ hearts
the knowledge that there are among us still
those who are ready to offer at nil times and
seasons the fervid grasp that tolls of friend
ship, of fellowship and good will.—Homs
Journal.
A Professional Beggar’s Generosity.
A friend of mine tells me that late tho
other night ho was addressed on tho street by
one of the kind who represent themselves ns
sorely in need of a night’s lodging and be
seech the gift of a few cents to make up tho
price required. Thinking to turn tho tables
upon the mendicant, my friend pull d u lu-
grubious face, heaved a sigh and said: “I
wish I could help you, but I’m out of work,
I’m too lame to walk to my lodging and I am
looking for some one to lend me fire cents tc
get there in the horse rars.” Quickly diving
his hand into his pocket and exclaiming, fer
vently, “You sbun't suffer if I cun help you,'
the beggar produced a nickel, which he thrust
into my friend’s hand and was off before e
protest could lie made.—Boston Post.
A I’se for Barfana Skins.
The other (lay I saw a boy give a banana
skin to a horse which helps street cars up the
Incline from Cornhill to State street on
Washington. It was eaten with evident rel
ish, ami it struck me that I had rarely seen a
happier use of a very dangerous article.
Kind hearted people should make a note of
this for the benefit of draught horses which
stand on 1 be sides of our streets. The poor
things receive so much ill treatment from
evil di..nosed pa sers by that tho bettor dis
posed should b- glad to’make them some com-
uensaiiou.—Boston Post.
Little Effort to Stop Them Slade by the
Authorities—The Sclilaeger’s Five Cuts.
The police authorities of the university
towns make no earnest efforts to stop the
Hiels if they are not brought under their
notice directly, mid the fights sometimes take
place in lieer linlls in the towns even. Gen
erally, however, tue students go several miles
away from tho university, and the citizens
discover that a mensur has been going on only
by seeing the next day a number of students
with gashed and bandaged faces walking tho
streets. Serious injuries are very rare ill
duels with the scliiaeger, and a student who
is really bloodthirsty when he thinks lie has
been mortally offended resorts t o the pistol
or curved sword, like a Turkish eimetar.
Only a few instances of fatal duels, even with
these, have occurred at tho universities. The
scliiaeger would be a weak weapon against a
broadsword, or even a cavalry saber or a navy
cutlass. Fighting with it, the duelists must
not move from their positions, and there is,
consequently, little display of activity of the
body. The blow with the scliiaeger is not a
cut or a thrust. It is a cut with only about
one foot of the end of the blade, which is all
of the sword that is sharpened, and then a
twist of the wrist. The wrist does all the
fighting.
There are only five cuts with these schlaeger
for the Btudent to learn. All the others are
variations. The first cut is directly for the
top of the head. If it hits, a piece of the
flesh, and sometimes a part of the skull,
comes out. A cut for the forehead and nose
is another. It it riches the flesh a eerious
wound and permanent disfigurement may
follow. Duels have been known in which a
a noee was sliced off completely, and had to
be sewed on again. Two more cuts are di
rected at the right and left sides of the face.
Theee blows may lay open the cheek, cut out
the teeth, cut the lips off or touch tho nose,
as the schlaeger is made of such thin steel
that it bends around like a whip when a hit
is made. Another, and the most difficult hit
to make, is an under cut, aimed at the chin
and mouth. It may do great mischief to all
the lower part of the face, hut it cannot
toucli the jugular vein, os that is protected.
Altogether the schlaeger is a mere brutal
weapon of offense, witiiout any great power
to kill, and dueling with it will continue as
long as students at German universities re
gal'd the possession of strength and endurance
as the only certificates of honor.—Globe-
Democrat.
A Young Man of Nerve.
“Speaking of nerve,” chimed in another
club man, ‘.‘I will tell you a story of a young
mail, tile sou of one of our largest manufact
urers, who displayed the greatest nerve of
any man I ever heard of. He was ail officer
in the navy, on one of the old hulks of our
boasted squadron, which had the honor to
escort Gen. Grunt on sonic of his excursions
along the const of Chinn. The aforesaid hulk
or vessel was off the coast of Japan, in that
most treacherous of all seas, caught in a ter
rific gale. Everything was done to make her
weather the sen, but the violence of the
storm continued unabating, and it was found
that the boat would go to pieces. The officers
and seamen were called on deck, and it was
the unanimous opinion that it was only a
question of time, and a mighty short one,
when she would succumb to the elements.
The small boats were all put in order, a stock
of provisions was placed in each, and the offl-
cei-s and crew were parceled off for the dif
ferent hoats. Everything was ready to put
off at a moment’s notice, and every one wns
expecting a terrible struggle for lifp, if not
death by drowning.
“Tho suspense was something impossible to
conceive unless one has had a similar experi
ence. A man can look forward to being
hung or shot with comparative intrepidity,
blit to face drowning is a torture of the soul
most liarrowing. This young man knew no
fear, never know any, and probably never
will. He was born fearless and lie cannot
help it. While nil the other officers and men
wrre oil deck ready and waiting to jump in
their boats, he quietly remarked “that as
there seems to be nothing else to do, I’ll go
down and take a nap." And he went clown
to his cuhin and went to sleep. Fortunately
the vessel rode out of the storm in a few
hours and was safe. This young man of
nerve was the iiero of those terribly anxious
hours, and bis brother officers delight to re-
peat how he said “os there seems nothing else
to do, I’ll go down and take a nap.”—Chicago
Journal.
Head Walter to His Staff.
“Now, if a iierson (rders a pot of coffee,
don’t bring up cold milk unless it is called
for. Bring up hot milk with coffee and cold
milk with tea Always serve pulverized sugar
with tomatoes, lettuce, and (tracked ice with
cucumbers and tomatoes. Watermelon,
cantaloupe, inuskmelon and berries, of course,
need milk or cream and pulverized sugar.
A dessert knife and fork and powdered sugar
should go with all pastries, while a small
piece of American cheese is in order with all
kinds of pie. Many men never think of such
a thing ns putting mustard on the tuhle.
Borne people like it. There are very few who
have yet learned that a boiled potato is
proper with baked beam. Don’t cover the
bread plate with a napkin; it looks as if there
were dirt or dust around. This matter of
laughing and fooling don’t make a waiter. I
should stop it.
“All cold meats ought to be garnished with
parsley, lettuce or celery. Bo careful about
leaving your side towels around. Another
man comes along with something to wipe,
and he don’t know whether it has been lying
there for twenty seconds or twenty years. It
is a good plan not to wipe your face witli an
apron or towel, nor to be too familiur with
the proprietor. I never allow myself even to
drink a glass of lemonade with hitn.
“If you see that a guest of the house wishes
to be waited on by a particular man with
whom he is acquainted always give way |>o-
litely and without confusion. A waiter
should always keep his eye cast toward the
door instead of out of the window. Be care
ful, in serving any kind of ‘fizz’ wines, to
pour them out carefully. In serving old
wines never wipe off the dust from the bot
tle. Never wipe off the label, and be sure to
spow the label to the gentlemen in order tliut
there may be no mistake.'’—Cleveland Plnin-
dealer.
How Gold Engravers Save Some Money.
“Would you believe,” said an engraver of
gold watch coses, “that tho water in which I
wash my face and hands every evening just
before leaving the shop is kept by my employ
ers, and afterward strained tnrough a sieve!
It seems incredible; still it's a fact. Other
wise the firm would lose a valuable amount
of gold. You see the specks of gold that we
clip off fasten themselves to our hands and
faces, and sometimes fly into our hair or fall
to our aprons. Ill n simp containing a big
corps of engravers the amount which thus
sprinkles the workmen reaches a high value
in a few days.
“The water in which our aprons are washed
is strained in tho same way. Our aprons are
furnished us by the firm. Wo are never per
mitted to take them out of the shop. My em
ployers thus save fully $2,000 a year.”—New
York Evening Bun.

Taking Advantage of a Passing Lad, R
Shuttle a Wife Beating Kufflan.
I £f>t off a Jamuicn Plnin car at Cedar
stri-t, in Roxbury, the other cloy on tuf
»rny to j ..tv n visit. Tito street goes up a hill
rather iili' ttpi’y from the corner, and it Xl
not just here a very pleasant part. I wtg
about half way up Die hill and oppaeilA
some sort of u brewery pluoo when I wa,M>
costed respectfully by a pleasant faced Ht>
bentian. who had been talking to some me*
who were roiling out beer barrels from th*
doorway of the place across the street. 1
knew that the man w ho spoke to mo bad been
calling across, but I was busy with my own
thoughts and had not noticed his words. HI*
speaking to me was evidently a sudden inapt,
ration.
“Lnilyl” lie said ill a loud, clear ton*l
“lady!”
I stopped and looked at him. I should have
supposed I would lie startled at being spoken
to so imperatively and suddenly, but the
man’s voice and mantlet were quite above
any personality. I had simply appeared el
an opportune moment to point a mortfl for
him. Ho w as lecturing a tow looking man
over the way, one of the workmen employed
in rolling out tho beer barrels.
“Look at tlint bnldheaded scoundrel over
thair, lady; look at him! He bates hie
mother rigil.tr. Do yo see that, yee booming
rascal, yef The lady can’t bear to look a sec
ond time ut tlie likes of ye. To disgrace the
neighborhood ity bating yer own mother!”
I went ou up the hill, and as I passed the
indignant man ho stepped politely off the
sidewalk to make room for tne, saying, “Och,
ma'am, it would shame hitn well if ye'd
looked longer.’’
I bowed, hut as it seemed to me that I bed.
done service enough vicariously os a min
sionary, I excused myself from casting con.
detuning glances upon the sinner under ar
raignment.
When I retnred to my horse car, after e
walk through pleasanter streets, the man who
had employed the novel method of trying to
shame ills sinful friend Imd disappeared. But
the barrel roller was still busy about tho
door of tlie beer place. I glanced toward
him with sonip wonder as to his possible be
havior. Ho had not seemed to hear bis accuser
Itoforo nor to see me; but at sight of me now,
lie ducked It iu bond behind a barrel and re
mained in un extraordinary doubled over po
sition of shamed semi-concealment as 1
walked down tho street. When I was fairly
down to tho corner curiosity impelled me to
turn and look again in his direction. He wae
just straightening up again to go on with his
work. I have wondered since if ho feared
tlint I might add a postscript to ills friend’s
scathing. I should like to, I ant sure, if I
knew what one could possibly say to touch
the conscience of a man “who bates bis
mother regilnr."—Boston Transcript.
Col. I’at Domin', Narrow Escape.
Col. Pat Donan, the western orator, who
says lie is going to he tho priest to unite th*
north and south by mentis of marrying off a
lot of pretty girls from Dixie to young men
in the north, bus had many narrow escapes.
He saved his life once by abstaining from a
game of poker and reading tho Bible. A few
years after the war lie was a pnssenger on a
big Mississippi steamboat bound to St. Louis
front New Orleans. Tlie colonel was asked
to take a hand in a game of draw poker that
was going on in tho forward part of the
cabin. It was Humbly morning, and a sud
den impulse seized him to rend something in
stead of playing poker. He bad nothing to
road until lie thought of a little Bible that a
prettv young girl cousin guve him in New
Orlo nns, extracting a promise from him that
he would Hooner or later look between its
leaves.
In order to kc p the poker players and the
men who watched the gnmo from laughing
at him if they saw him reading a Bible, he
went to ltia stateroom, situated about the
middle of tho cabin. IIo had been reading
front tho Psalms of David about ten minutes
when a terrific explosion tool; place, killing
outright all tlie poker plttyers and the men in
tlie front part of tlio cabin. Tlie colonel was
biully shaken up, hut be managed to save a
halt dozen ladies by fighting a lot of deck
hands and capturing a small boat. IIo took
to tile witter after pusliiiig off the little boat
llllod with women, and was picked up three
miles below, frozen nearly to death.—New

The Famous Sickles Trial.
Tito case not only commutidod attention In
America, but wns a enuse eelebro wherever
the Hiiglish langtiago was spoken. It was a
bloody minder, with no palliating circum
stance save that Dan Sickles defended his do
mestic honor under tlie Mosaic idea that the
adulterer could I si killed if caught in the act
There was a splendid array of counsel. Car-
iyslo nm) Ould, tlie latter then district attor
ney and nrtcrwnrds prominent in the Con
federate war department, prosecuted Dan
Sickles, The latter was defended by Edwin
M. Stanton, tho golden mouthed James T.
Brady, of Now York; John Graham, the
great criminal lawyer, yet alive; .Magruder
and Charlton, of Virginia, and tlie brilliant
and gifted Gen. Thomas Meghan. Stanton’s
speech acquitted the prisoner.
Stanton’s idea was accepted by the defense,
the killing was admitted anil the defense took
the ground that tho provocation was suffi
cient to justify acquittal. The great war
secretary quoted from John Milton, who said:
“Who knows not that chastity and probity
of living cannot be established or continued
except it Ixi first sot up in private families
whence tlie whole brood of men cotne forth,”
ami with wonderful eloquence, while tba
jury gazed in wrapt attention at tho stalwart
eloquence of tho great orator, he continued;
“The family is the cradle of sensibility
when tlie first lessons are taught of that ten
derness and Immunity which cement tbc vast
muss of mankind together, and were they ex
tinguished the whole fabric of society would
bo dissolved.”— Philadelphia Times.
One Woman's Makeup.
I met tlie wife of a western congressman in
tho Corcoran gallery here tho other day.
While sla- does not by any means represent a
typo of Washington women, she yet combines
so many traits that me found among them
that she is in a certain sense representative.
She seems to be m n sort of transi-iou state in
every particular, not only as to mental char
acteristics, but even in her attire and man
ner. Klio bad a bonnet that reached the
furthest extreme of fa-hion, a pair of thick
soled and awkward boots that could only
have been made by a hack country cobbler,
and her attire was an indescribably odd col
lection of various styles aim fashions. Im
mediately beneath the new fashioned bonnet
sh ■ hml nn old fashioned bang Her eyes
were bright, her color perfect, umi she talked
villi an enjoyment of ope under u perpetual
a-!I of excitement.
In summing up her attire I should plnee it
somewhat as follows: Hhoes, Keokuk; bon
net, Paris; cloth jacket, London; gown,
Washington; massive gold chain, Chicago!
parasol, New York; girdle, Vienna; accent,
London, Iowa, Paris, Illinois, New York,
New England, Germany, South Carolina ami
Ireland. That tiiese warring elements will
shortly involve a dashing and representativa
American is the result to be looked for. —»
