lT is to wine drinking we owe the
origin ofthe kiss. After Mecenas caught
his wife sucking his finest wines through
the bung hole ofthe barrel with straw,
the custom became general in Rome for
the husbands to kiss the lips of their
wives, that they might discover the
quality of their good ladies' stolen liba-
tions, and Cato, the elder, recommends
this plan to the serious attention of all
careful heads of families.

WHERE THE SUN NEVER SETS

The following paragraph is from
the descri ption of a scene witnessed
by Mr.. Campbell and party in the
north of Norway, from cliff l 900
feet above the sea:
The ocean stretched away in si-
lent vastness at our feet; the sound
of the waves scarcely reached our
airy lookout; away in the north the
huge old sun swung low along the
horizon, like the slow beat of the
pendulum in the tall clock of our
grandfather parlor corner. We all
stood silent, looking at our watches.
When both hands came together at
II, midnight, the full round orb
hung triumphantly above the wave,
a bridge of gold, running due north,
spanned the water between US and
him. There he shone in silent ma
jestv that knew no setting. We in
voluntarily V took of our hats, and no
word was said. Combine, if YOU can,
the most brilliant sunrise and sunset
YOU ever saw. and its beauties will
pale before the gorgeous coloring
which now lit up the ocean, heaven
and mountain. In half an hour the
sun had swung by perceptibly on its
beat, the colors changed to those of
morning, a fresh breeze rippled over
the Hood, one s"n@>ter after another
piped in the trees behind us-we had
slid into another day.

In the new whisky regulations most trou

amendments to section four of the old law.
This provides that limitations of sparkling
wines and champagne, and all compounds
sold as wines or a substitute for the same,

holding pint or less.
The Commissioner holds that sparkling
wines and champagnes must be made from
pure juice of the grape, or in the regular
way of making pure wine, to be exempt
from this stamp.
No injection of caTbOnic acid gas into still
wines will be allowed without paying this

sherry, port, claret, etc, and all compound
liquors, such as fruit brandy made from

einal preparations under schedule G..

During the year ending the tbirteth
ultimo the Pension Bureau has issued
20, 62l certificates of pension to the survivors
and widows of the war of 1912, and rejected

sent out from the office in regard to this
class of claims, and GA, 406 pieces of addi-
tional evidence have been received and ap-

widows Of RevoIqtionary soldiers.

Some time since the Pension Bureau sent
out circulars inquiring if certain widows of
revolutionary soldiers were still alive, aud
if so their condition, etc. The lady post
master at Aecomac Court House, Virginia,
in answer to such inquiries, replied that one
widow there, Mrs. Mary Ann Snead, was
very feeble and dependent on her mother
and others for support. As to Sarah Anu
Stewart, the widow of Thomas Lewis, who
was also revolutionary soldier, the same
lady stated that she was subject to fits, and
lived with her father, who was upwards OF
one hundred years old. Mr.. Babson, chief
of the Division Pension Bureau, will soon
send out more of these circulars for infor-
nation. 1t is the intention to arrange an
alphabetical list of the names of all sur
yiving widows of revolutionary soldiers TO
january /, 1870, and to keep up their histo-
ries from that date outward to the time of
their dissolution. 1t is a notable fact that
there are living two widows of revolution
airy soldiers who are under forty years Of
age, and the oldest surviving widow is lis
wears old.
