Here is something for every married man in Petersburg tb pasre in bis hat: The Dispatch says: An Auburn man was taken with cramp* a few day* ago while assisting his wife to lay a carpet, and his agony was so great that it was feared he leould not recover. A great many men are very imprudent. if not exceedingly reckless about engaging in violent exercise of this nature, as the spring home cleaning time draweth near, they should pay heed to th|> aliove warnings, and if they indulge at ail in such injurious exercise they should do so with extreme moderation. It is a fad now for some people to greet one auot her- with a left hand shake. This strikes an every day sort of person as embarrassing and awkward. Human nature can never associate good fellowship and sincerity with the left hand. No expression of heartiness ean be conveyed through the left hand shake. There is something uncany about it. A child naturally shrinks and draws back when met by a one armed man. Just so do grown people shrink from the man or woman who gives the left hand greeting. This variety1 of the common place greeting always effects one pleasantly. Tim high hand shake, which was the cause of so much embarrass meat, was bad enough. The pump handle shake. was worse, but this left handed grin it. the worst of all.
