SUBSTITUTES FOR KIssINa.-Some rude
races have strange substitutes for kissing Of
Mongol father, traveller writes, she smell
ed from time to time the head Of his youngest
son, mark of paternal tenderness usual
among the Mongols instead of embracing" "
In the PHILIPPINE islands, we are told, "the
sense of smell is developed to so great de-
gree that they are able, by smelling at the
pocket handkerchiefs, to tell to which per.
sons they belong; and lovers, at parting ex.
change pieces Of linen they may be wearing,
and during their separation inhale the odor
of the beloved being" Among the Citagong-
hill people, again, it is is said. "the manner
of kissing is peculiar. Instead Of pressing
lip to lip, they place the nose and mouth
upon the cheek and inbale the breath strong
ly." Their form of speech is not "Give me
KISS" but "Smell me-" In the same way,
according to another traveller, "the Burmese
do not kiss each other in the Western fashion,
but apply the lips and nose to the cheek and
make strong inhalation" Moreover, "the
Samoans salute by juxtaposition of noses
accompanied not by rub but hearty
SMELL" There is Scriptural precedent for
such customs. When blind Isaac was in
doubt whether the son that came to him was
Jacob or not, "he smelled the smell Of his
raiment and blessed him."

GLASS IN EGYPT.

Egypt offers the earliest positive evidence
of glass making Sir Gardiner Wilkinson
mentions that glass bottles containing wine are
represented on monuments Of the fourth dy'
nasty, more than four thousand years ago ;
and in the tombs at Benz Hassan the process
of glass blowing is represented in an unmis.
taxable manner. The earliest specimen Of
glass bearing an scription from which its
date may bs ascertained, which has as yet
been met with, is the lions head now in the
Slade collection in the British Museum.
This was found many years ago at Ihebes, by
Signor Drovetti. 1t is formed Of opaque blue
glass Of q very bright and beautiful color Gas
may be seen from fractured party, but
time has changed it externally to an olive
green. Dr. Birch has Informed the writer
that the hieroglyphics which are on the under
side, consist, on the right side, Of an urceus
wearing the "hut," or white crown of the
upper world, or upper Egypt, and repre-
senting the goddess Saa (Juno) on the
left side of urceus wearing the tesh, or
red crown of the lower world, or lower
Egypt, and representing the goddess of Nat
or Meth (Minerva) !; while the central hero:
glyphics form the prenomen Of Nuantef ~
of the eleventh dynasty. whose date accor-
ding to Lepsius' chronology, was B. G. 2423-
2480. A bead found at Thebes bears the
prenomen of Hatafu, queen who is con-
iectured to have lived about the year 1850
B. c.; this is of dusky green glass, quite
transparent, and is stated to have the specific
gravity of bottle glass. 1t has been suggested
that the material is not artificial glass, but
obsidian, which abounds in Egypt and is occa.
sionally of green tint. Many colored frag.
ments are found in the tomb of Thebes, and
vitri6ed coating, usually blue or green,
was given to objects formed Of earthenware
and even of stone or granite. A high value
seems to have been attached to colored glass
at an early date and vessels of fine opaque
blue glass of Egyptian manufacture exist,
edged with tolerably thick plating of gold.
Glass if the Syrian, Greek and Latin versions

THE BURIAL OF MOSES.


By Nebo's lonely mountains,
On this side of Jordan's wave,
In vale in the land of Moab,
There lies lonely grave;
And no man dug that sepulchre,
And no man saw it e'er;
For the angel of God upturned the sod
And laid the dead man there.
That was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth;
But no man heard the tramping,
Or saw the train go forth.
Noiseessly as the daylight
Comes when the night is done.
And the crimson streak on ocean cneek
Grows into the great sun.
Noiselessly as the spring-time
Her crown Of verdure weaves,
And all the trees on all the hills
Open their thousand leaves
So without sound of music,
Or voice Of them that wept,
Silently down from the mountains crown
The great procession swept.
Perhaps the bald old eagle
On gray Beth-peor's height,
Out from his rocky eyre
Looked on the wondrous sight;
Perchance the lion, stalking,
Still shuns the hallowed spot,
For beasts and birds have seen and heard
That which man knoweth not.
But when the warrior dieth,
His comrades in the war,
With arms reversed and muffled drum,
Follow the funeral car;
They show the banners taken,
They tell his battles won,
And after him lead his masterless steed,
While peals the minute gun.
Amid the noblest of the land
Men lay the sage to rest,
And give the bard an hOnored place,
With costly marble drest,
In the great minster-transept,
Where lights like glory fall,
And the choir sings and the organ rings
Along the emblaZoned wall
This was the bravest warrior
That ever buckled sword!
This the most gifted poet
That ever breathed word;
And never earth's philosopher
Traced with his golden pen,
On the deathless page, truth half so sage
AS he wrote down for men.
And had he not high honor?
The hillside for his pail.
To lie in state, while angels wait,
With stars for tapers tall,
And the dark rock pines, like tossing plumes,
Ger his bier to wave,
Aud Gods own hand, in that lonely land
To lay him in the grave!
In that deep grave. without name,
When his uncoffined clay
Shall break again (most wondrous thought y
Before the judgment day,
And stand with glory wrapped around
On the hills he never trod,
And speak of the strife that won our life
With the Incarnate Son Of God
o, lonely tombi in Moab's land!
o, dark Beth-peor hill!
Speak to these curious hearts of ours,
And teach them to be still.
God hath His mysteries of grace
Ways that we cannot tell,
He hides them deep, in the secret sleep
OF him He loved so well.

AN Ex-Governor ON THE MAINE IL
QuoR LAw.-Ex Governor Lot M. Morrill,, of
Maine, passed through Charlotte, N. c., re-
Gently, on his way South for the sake of his
health. While in that city, says the Observer,
he was asked in reference to the prohibition
law in Maine He said that since the passage
of this law, the condition Of the people had
immeasurably improved, mentally socially
and physically. Crime had diminished ;intem-
perance had diminished, and pauperism
was thing unknown. Somebody had writ
ten something about an increase in lunacy in
Maine on this account Whoever it was, he
said, must he lunatic. Nosane man who knew
anything about it would write such stuff. He
had several times had occasion to traverse the
State while on canvassing tours, and to see a
drunken man was rare occurrence. Some
would have liquor and drink it, but they were
comparatively few, and these scarcely ever
drank to excess. He gave it as his expert
ence that the law was in every way benef-
cial one, and contributed greatly to the hap.
piness and improvement Of the people. He
only stayed several hours in the city, arriving
in the morning and leaving on the afternoon

The MUSTANG OF AUsTRALIA.-The mus.
tang of the American Continent has its
counterpart in the "brumbie" of Australia,
large herds of which exist in the interior
parts of Queensland and New South Wales.
These animals are 80 numerous that they
have often been destroyed and boiled down
for the sake of their tallow and hides and
in some of the newly settled districts they
swarm in such numbers that the squatters
have to protect themselves and the pastur-
age against their inroads. Brumbie stalk
ing is recognized pastime, the destruction
of wild horses being as necessary as the de-
struction of kangaroos or rabbits. The sport
of capturing and tanning these animals, how
ever, has attracted a good many adventurous
spirits, who adopt tactics somewhat similar to
those adopted by the inhabitants of Mexico
and South America. The hardness and
strength and size of these brumbies are re-
markable. and when trained they are Of con-
siderable value. Their progeny, when cross
ed with European horses, possess excellent
qualities 1t is recorded that in one year no
less than 1000 wild horses have been shot on
single station in New South Wales.

NOTICE.! YouNG MAN.-We heard Of an
accident, the other day, which we hasten to
make public for the benefit of all young men
who may feel interested in the matter Of mat
rimony.
At a certain church, after the services for
the Sabbath were concluded, certain young
man named John atepped up to the side of
one of the most handsome girls in the parish,
to whom he had been paying beautiful at
tention" of late, and politely requested the
pleasure of seeing her home. Like a good
afectionate girl she granted the boon and
they started. Filled with rapture by the
pleasant circumstances surrounding him, the
young man was thrown off his guard, and
being desirous of saying something particu-
larly fine and impressive, Git may have been
a lay of love) he turned his face towards bis
partner, Every close, as it doth often happen,)
and whispered his thought. Alas it was sn un-
lucky whisper; for the same breath that con-
veyed the confidential message, also carried
to the olfactories Of the young lady the fumes
of whisky! Quietly withdrawing her arm
from that of her gallant. she stopped in the
path and said i: "Sir, you have been drink
ing whisky, and that Of the meanest sort
you, nor no other DemiJohn, can 60
home with me-" And she tripped on her
way, leaving the poor whisky lover standing
with his thumb in his mouth completely
"dumb founded" at the sudden reversicn of
his prospect, while the jeers, the taunts and
groans of the spectators fairly roared around
him. .....
There are many young walking Demi-
Johns; and as the ladies everywhere are be.
coming fast friends Of temperance, and adopt
ing the motto of, "sober men or no hus..
bands" we give the above publicity, that
many may see the danger they incur by low
ing liquor better than their chosen lassie.

THE SPIDERS APpARATUs.7Few things
are more wonderful than the spinning appa-
ratus of the spider. On the under side of the
creatures body are four or six little knobs,
each not larger than the point of a pin.
These are outlets of certain receptacles with
in the abdomen, where the silk is prepared.
When spider wishes to spin a thread, it
presses the knobs or spinerets, with one of its
legs, and forthwith there issues from each,
not one, but at least thousand 6bres, Of such
exquisite 6neness that it is only when all the
products of all the spinerets are united that
they become visible to the naked eye. The
"thread" of the spider is thus a tiny rope Of
four or six thousand strands. The twisting
of the fbres into one cord is performed by the
hindmost pair of legs, which like the rest. are
furnished with three claws apiece. Using
these claws as fugers, the little rope.maker
twists her groups Of thread into one with sur
prising rapidity. .-..

RICE CULTURE IN THE SOUTH. WEsT.--Be.
fore the war the rice crop came chiefly from
the Carolinas. During the past ten years the
rice industry has been extended to Louisiana,
where over fifty thouand acres are now de-
voted to it, and the annual crop of the coun-
try has been doubled. In the meantime
great improvements have been made in the
methods of thrashing and cleaning the grain
by the introduction of machinery. When
the grain is cut it is stacked in the fields to
sweat, to facilitate the thrashing, after which
the rice is sent to special mills for hulling
and polishing There are seven mills of this
sort which have been built in New Orleans
during the last decade. Each mill employs
from twenty to forty hands, and all are busy.
The rough rice is received in large bins, from
which it is taken by elevators to the upper
floor, where it is winnowed and sifted to re-
move sticks and rubbish. To remove the
beard the rice is passed through revolving
''hoodlum," from which it is carried to the
"stones" which crack off the hulls. Then
the dark .colored grains are polished for mark
ct. The polisher consists of sheepskins, tan.
ned, stretched over sheep wool on revolving
cylinders, the space between the sheepskins
and wire gauze being just sufficient to allow
the rice grains to find their way by degrees
to the bottom. The grains are highly polish
ed by the friction against the skins, which
rubs off the bran and leaves the grain clear
and white. The bran amounts to eight bar
rels for every hundred barrels of clean rice.
1t is sometimes used to adulterate spices The
waste in hullng averages about five or six
per cent, but sometimes reaches as high as
twenty per cent. The hullers receive from
half cent to threequarters of a cent per.
pound for hulling.

hES1SI
Four young men, clerks and students, while
on summer vacation tramp through North
ern New England, engaged for guide to q
certain romantic forest waterfall, a boy
named Forrest Graves. Forrest was fine,
athletic fellow, who could outwalk and out
climb any amateur in the mountains, and his
moral courage was quite equal to his physi-
cal health and strength.
After he had guided the young men TO the
waterfall, and they had satisfied themselves
with sightseeing, they invited bim to lunch
with them.
Thank you, have my own lunch ) and
the boy went away by himself Later, when
full justice had been done to their repast,
and flask of brandy had furnished each of
the young men with stimulating draught,
Graves was called.
"You must drink with US, if you will not
eat with u.s." now, said the owner of the flask,
and the most reckless of the party.
mo, sir, thank you" was the boys courte.
GUS response.
"But shall insist upon it.
"You can do as you please, and I shall do
as please"
1ne young man spTdDR U nlS leeC, duu
with bound stood beside the boy, too much
absorbed in his OWL purpose to heed the quiv-
ering lips and flashing eyes of another.
"Now you are bound to try my brandy.
| always rule"
"Ycu can't rule me."
These words were scarcely uttered when
the flask was seized and hurled into stream,
where the clinking Of glass betrayed its utter
destruction. Then clear, defiant tone rang
out:
II did it in selfdefense. You had no
right to tempt me. My father was once rich
and honorable man, but he died a miserable
drunkard, and my mother came here to live
to keep me away from liquor till should be
old enough to take care of myself. / have
promised her hundred times l wouldn't
taste it, and I'd Gle before I'd break my
promise"
"Bravely said. Forgive me, and let us
shake hands, My mother would be happy
woman if was as brave as you. I wouldn't
tempt you to do wrong. I shall never forget
you, nor the lesson you have taught me"
The most reckless was the most generous,
and seeing his error apologized frankly.
How many boys need to be kept from
strong drink and, alas, how many men and
women! Who dares tempt them? Let it
not be you and I.-Youths Companion.

A SICKENING SCENE.


The cases here are nearly all capital, and
amputation is nearly always resorted to-.
Hands and feet, arms and legs are thrown
under each table, and sickening piles grow
large as the night progresses. The delicate
limbs of the drummer boy fall along with
the rough hand of the veteran in years; but
all, every one is so brave, and cheerful. To-
wards morning the conversation flags; many
drop off to sleep before they can be attended
to, and some of them never wake again. The
only sound is the crunching of the surgeons
saws and now and then the melancholy music
of random shell dismally wailing overhead.
Few the prayers that are said, but can yet
hear the soft voice of boyish soldier as he is
lifted on to the table, his limbs mass OF
quivering, lacerated flesh, quietly say: "Oh'
my God, offer all my sufferings here IN
atonement for the sins by which | have cru
cited Thee" Out side the members of the
Christian Commission are hard at work at
relieving all within reach, the stretcher car
rers hurryng the wounded from the field; a
few priests and the chaplains were quietly
moving among the suffering thousands, shrivv'
ing, giving them comfort. and soothing their
diving. At the Bernard House, where he had
been carried, died, at midnight, the youngest
general officer and one of the most beloved of
all that fell, Gen. George D. Bayard of the
cavalry. While conversing with some other
officers early in the day shell struck the
