MODES OF SALVATION.

In England the usual mode of greeting is a
hearty shake of the hand, with q " Good
morning, sir; how do you do?"
The usual salutation at Cairo is, "How do
you sweat pa dry, hot skin being sure in
dication of destructive ephemeral fever.
Greenlanders have none, and laugh at the
! idea of one person being superior to another.
Islanders near the Philippines take per.
sons hand and foot and rub 1t over their faces.
Laplanders apply their noses against the
persons they salute very strongly.
In the Straits of the Sound they raise the
left foot of the person addressed, pass it
gently over the right leg, and thence to the
face.
The inhabitants of the Philippines bend
very low, placing their hands upon their
cheeks, and raise one foot in the air with the
knee bent.
The Dutch, who are considered polite, have
q morning salotation, common among all
classes, Smsakelyk eeten,' May you eat a
hearty dinner" Another is ''Hoe waart
uwe?" How do you sail?" adopted, no
doubt, in the early periods Of the Republic,
when they were all navigators and fishermen.
Some author has observed, in contrasting
the naughty Spaniard with the frivolous
Frenchmap, that the proud, steady gait and
infexible solemnity of the former we're ex-
pressed in the mode of salutation, "Comic
esia?" How do you stand?" while the
Comment vous portez-vous "How do
you carry yourself?" was equally expressive
of the gay motion and incessant action of the
latter.
In some parts of Africa young woman, an
Intended bride, brings little water in Gala
bash, and kneeling before her lover, desires
him to wash his hands. When he has done
this the girl with a tear of joy sparkling in
her eye, drinks the water. This is oonsid-
cred the greatest proof she can give him Of
her fidelity and attachment.
The Japanese take off slipper. and the
people of Arracun their sandals in the street
and their stockings in the house, when they
salute.
The Negro kings on the coast of Africa
salute each other by swapping the middle fin
ger three times.
The inhabitants of Carmine, when they
show particular attachment, open q vein and
present their blood to the friend as bever-
age.
In Otaheie tney rub their noses together.

I am not going to write this piece for

koOw that to do their work and do it well,
they must spend larger part of their time in
the kitchen. And as our surroundings are SO
does our life seem to US. As q woman spends
most of her life in her kitchen, as it is, so
will everything seem to her. II it is bare,
dark, and unpleasant, how much barer, darker,
and more unpleasant will it make her life
seem, and vice versa.
Even though the rooms are kept clean in
the strictest sense of the word, we can't help

writing this, happy home-one of the hap
piest ever knew of-where I lived about
year while I was attending school. The
greatest charm about the house ives the
kitchen. It was always SO bright and cheer
full, with few bright pictures on the walls
and ornaments on the brackets; the painted
floor and woodwork we're always clean, the
stove bright, and few fl overs in the sunniest
window.
1t was always 50 easy to work in that
kitchen, and things seemed to keep "done
up" of themselves. 1t was only few min
utes work to dust and arrange the little
things that would keep the heart glad all day
long. Aud if there was no fire in the sitting
room when company came or girl friend
came to see me, we were not ashamed to take
them into the kitchen and give them seat in
the easy chair that always stood there and
that was always so nice to drop into when you
had minute to rest. am sure it did great
deal more good than if it had been sitting! stiff
and straight in the best room. For somehow
the husband and father seemed to prefer sit
ting in it by the bright fire. with the pretty
pictures around him. in the evening, rather
than sit on hard counter at the country store
or groggery, among the fumes of tobacco aud
smoke.
II women only knew this secret. it would
make their lives more cheerful and happy, to
say nothing of the good it would do their
husbands aud children, and the little extra
trouble would be paid back in a two-fold ratio.

Looking through the open doorway OF an

NEW YORK, February 23.-The Her

Georgia state treasury Is q million dol
lars short. Treasurer Jones reported
over million in the treasury and only

state regards Jones as perfectly honest.
His bond is two hundred thousand dol
