Tho saeradness of tho kiss was inviolabla
among the Romans for along time. at length
it was degraded into Il current form Of saluta-
tion. Pliny asoribes the introduction Of the
custom to the degeneracy Of the Roman la

Tho kiss was In process of time diffused gen.
orally as form Of salutation at Rome, where
men testified their regard and the warmth Of
the Welcome for each other chiefly by the
number Of their kisses.
Among the early Romans tho higher magis-
trates gave their hands to be kissed, and un-
der the first Emperors the monarchs did the
same. This, however, was soon thought too
familiar TO be an act OF true homage no only
the superior officers kissed the hands, while
the inferior were forced to be content with
touching the royal robes Sometimes the
Emperor kissed the mouth and eyes Of those
whom he wished Hignaily to honor, but this
was very rare privilege he kissed with mark
cd GOODNESS. Agricola complained that when
he returned from his victories over tho Saxons
Domitian gave him frigid kiss and left
him otherwise unnoticed.
In later times the Roman Emperor cxacted
the same homage accorded TO the gods, their
subjects being required to kiss their feet, and
still later to kiss even tho ground before them.
Diocletion was the first to demand this ser
vile manner Of salutation. Christianity, too,
did not disdain to borrow of heathepdom evs

Success must be conquered. The man who
is fit for place is seldom neglected. Ho who
ceases to strive, in order that he may sit down
and complain that he is sighted, overlooked,
forgotten, may rest assured that his case will
grow more and more desperate the more he
complains. Whining does not overcome neg
lect, but courts it. Courage, diligence, cheer
fulness, faith--thcso arc the traits which mark
the successful man.

Some ~ tho recommendations OF Mr.

Among the former are the reductions In the
