In the last number ft AU the Tear Hound we find the following:-- 4,How did people first get into the habit of Bhaking hands? The answer isnotjfarto seek. In early and barbarous times when every savage or semi-savage was his own law giver, judge, soldier,' and policeman, and had to watch over his own safety, in default of all other protection, two friends or acquaint ances, or two strangers desiring to be friends or acquaintances, ifhen they chanced to meet, offered each to the other the right hand the hand alike of offense and defense, the hand that wields the sword, the dagger, the club, the tomahawk, or other weapon of war. Each did this to show that the hand was empty, and that neither war nor treachery was in tended. A man cannot well Btab another while he is engaged in shaking hands with him, unless he be a double-dyed traitor and villain, and strives to aim a cowardly blow with the left, while giving the right and pre tending to be on good terms with his victim. The custom of hand-shaking prevails, more or less, among all civilized nations, and is the tacit avowal of friendship And good-will, just as tse kiss is of a warmer passion. Ladies, as every one must nave remarked, seldom or never shake hands with the cor diality of gentlemen, unless it be with each other. The reason is obvious. It is for them to receive homage, not to give it. They cannot be expected to show to persons of the opposite sex a warmth of greeting which might be misinterpreted, unless such persons are very closely related to them by family or affection, in which cose hand-shaking is not needed, and the lips do more agreeable duty. 4 'Every man shakes bauds according to his nature, whether it be timid or aggressive, proud or humble, courteous or churlish, vulgar or refined, sincere or hypocritical, enthusiastic or indifferent. The nicest refinements and idiosyncracies of charaoter may not perhaps be discoverable in this fashion, but the more salient points of temperament and individu ality may doubtless be made clear to tne understanding of most people by a better study of what I shall call the physiology or the philosophy of hand-shaking. 'Some people are too 'robustious to be altogether pleasant. They take the offered hand with the grasp of a vice, and as if they had, with malice prepense, resolved to squeeze all the delicate little bones of your knuckles into pulp or minced meat. And while the tears of agony come into your eyes and run down your cheeks, they smile at you benig- nantly, like gentle giants, unconscious of their strength, and of tho tyranny with which they exercise it. 'To snake Hands without removing tne clove is an act of disoourtesy, which, if un intentional and thoughtless, requires an apology for the hurry and inadvertence which led to it. J. His idea would also seem to be an occult remnant of the old notion that the glove might conceal a weapon. Hence true courtesy and friendship required that the hand should be naked as a proof of bona fides. 4 'To refuse pointedly to snake Rands witn one who oners yon tne opportunity in a friendly manner amounts to a declaration of hostility. And after a quarrel or act of open hostility the acceptance of the hand offered is alike tne sign and s ratification oi peace." . . ' ' 'Some Hints About ths Human Voice. At a recent lecture in the Royal Assembly Room, Birmingham, Mr. Charles Lunn explained the quaiincations requisite in a musical instru ment, and passed on to speak of the human voice, nature's instrument. In order to pro duce a Bound there must be air or breath; but this did not produce tone or sound. That air must be set in motion by means of vocal organs, for sound was air in motion. The human vocal Bound was the result of breath or air obstructed in the organs of sound, and that obstruction could be traod at will. He then gave a minute description of the nature, mode of action, and capabilities of the vocal organs, remarking that sound was produced by the air coming from the chest through the windpipe exciting the vocal cords. The cruel obieet oi a master or a pupa in that science was to get the greatest pos sible Bound with the least possible air. In tensity and strength did not consist in or de pend upon the quantity of air consumed, but the way in whicn it was used, lie caarac terized the idea of there being a "chestvoice" as stupid and erroneous. Having enlarged upon various other ' points, including the voice as a means of conveying tnougnt, tne influence of dialects, and the duties and ob jects of a master, he concluded by brief re ference to the nature of stammering and of consumption. He said there were various causes of stammering, and in two coses only could it be treated with any hope of success. If he were to say that he could "sweep con sumption from the land," he Bhould tell them what was false; but in many cases a proper knowledge of the nature of the vocal organs, the way to use them, and a due exercise of them, would prevent the disease from taking root in the constiution. ' ; . , LlSZT AND THE "MUSIC OF THE PUTUEE." Daring "Holy Week," some years ago, Liszt invited a number of composers and critics to his apartments, to listen to the first private performance of his mass, since become so celebrated at the Vatican and in Germany. At one of the passages, which is a little in the Wagnerian style, an influential t critio made a wry face, and was invited to a seoond and still more select rehearsal when only he and Berlioz were present. The result was, how ever, the same, and M.' d'O. expressed his unqualified disapproval of this "Musio of the Future." "Miserable man !" exclaimed the future Abbe of Montemario, with an inspired air, "cannot you understand that this caoo phony, as you call it, is meant to represent the nails of the Passion?" ,t A New Haven gentleman assembled hla friends U his orchard the other day and Invited each one to select a branch on which Bhould grow the pears for bis or her eating, the name of the person being affixed upon a label. In the harvest time they are to meet again and enjoy the fruit. MARINE TELEGRAPH.
