of the Land of each by the other toward
his own lips; and by the other, a draw
ing OF it down again; and SO on alter
nately. Clearly, the difference between
the simple squeeze, to which this salute
is now often abridged, and the old
fashioned hearty shake exceeds the diff
ference between the hearty shake and
the movement that would result from
the effort Of each to kiss the hand of
the other"
Kissing, we have said, is natural
expression of affection; and it is curious
to note the analogous manifestations
among animals and some of the lower
tribes OF men. A dog displays his af-
fection for his master by licking his
hand. A eve distinguishes her lamb
by the olfactory sense, and apparently
deri7es pleasure from its exercise. The
same sense is used among men not only
to distinguish, as in the case of Jacob
and Isaac, but also as mark of afiec-
tion. Among the Mongols, for instance,
it is found as ga mark of paternal af-
lection, instead Of embracing;;" while
the Burmese "do not kiss each other
in the Western fashion, but apply the
lip and nose to the cheek and make a
strong inhalation. "-Chqm6ers' Journal.

A Curious Beetle.

A recent issue OF the New York
Times says: The golden cucuyo which
has been at TiGany's for some time is
dead. It was one of four or five speci-
mems of this rare South American beetle
in tEis city. They are regarded with
superstitious reverence by the women
of South America, and the few that are
caught. for the beetle is rare in it's ma
tive country, are fastened in tiny fet-
ters OF gold and worn as an ornament.
A gold or gold and jeweled hand is
passed around the thorax to which is at
tached slender gold chain about four
inches long which ends in a long pin.
This pin is thrust into a bouquet of
flowers on the shoulder or on the hat,
and the beetle is left to ramble the
length of the chain. It is an uncanny-
looking black thing about two inches
long. The true South American cucuyo
is fire beetle, single specimen giving
oot light enough ir dark room to en-
able one to read newspaper. They
are capable Of living without food for
great length of time. There is one in
the city which is not known to have
eaten anything in two years. The
beetle at Tiffany's probably died of
o7erfeeding. It's appetite was tempted
with sweetened water and rotten weed,
but the creature paid no attention to
the food. A piece of banana was placed
in the box which served for its cage,
and it eagerly began eating it and clung
to it for three days, when it was found
dead. It should be mentioned in con-
nection with the use of the living beetle
as an ornament to the ear or dress that
they have powerful jaws, and gnaw their
way through anything except metal in
few hours.

Origin of Some Social Customs.

primitive states, the conquered man
surrenders himself, his weapons and
whatever OF his clothing is worth hay
ing; hence, stripping becomes mark
of submission. Cook, for instance, re-
lates of some Tahitians: "They took off
8 great part of their clothes, and pu
them on US" In another tribe this
ceremony is abridged to the presenta-
ton of the girdle only. In Ah7ssinis
interiors strip to the girdle before supe-
riors. 4 further abridgment is found
among the natives of the Gold coast,
who salute Europeans by slightly re-
moving their robe from the left shoulder;
but even there special respect is shown
by completely uncovering the shoulder.
In other tribes they also doff the cap.
Hence, it seems that "the removal Of
the hat among European people, often
reduced among ourselves to touching
the hat, is remnant OF that process OF
unclothing himself by which in early
times the captive expressed the yielding
up of all he had"
Not less interesting is the explanation
of the origin Of shaking hands. From
kissing as a natural sign of affection, to
kissing the hand as compliment the
transition is easy and requires no further
explanation; for a stimulation of afec-
ton, no less than submission, is an es'
sential part Of prop;tiatory ceremony.

will refuse to go first, and there will re-

One would think that Levy, with his
immense business, grown from the
smallest beginnings, would be happy
man. Such, however, it seems, is not
the case. He has rival who has an
established business in "bogus" pic
lures that bids fair to exceed in magni-
tude that Of the ambitious Levy. But
this is not all. This rival played a
trick on Levy some years ago, by which
the latter was induced to pay a good
price for what he terms very inferior
pictures. In other words the rival sue
ceeaed in out-bogusing" the clever
Levy, to coin al expression for this
particular case. 1t. seems that Levy,
while sitting in his little front Office one
morning, was accosted by stranger,
who told him that he had bought lot
of pictures on speculation, but was
in need of money, and de-
sired, therefore, to get rid of
them. Levy looked searchingiy at the
stranger, who seemed to be of timid,
retiring disposition. His clothing, no
two articles of which were of the same
color, appeared to have been purchased !
and put on but few hours before, q
fact more directly established by the
clothes dealers ticket which still ad-
hered to his coat collar. He seemed to
be simplicity personifei, and Levy,
after telling him that the market was
very dull and pictures sold very slowly
and only at small figures, asked him
what he wanted for his goods. The
stranger slowly undid the cords that
held together a bundle that he carried
under his arm, and displayed great
variety of pictures. "These," said he,
's are only samples. I have several
hundred of them which wish to SELL"
'' What do you want for them ?" de-
nanded Levy. What'u you give ?"
asked the stranger. What'l you
;ake?" returned Levy. After they had
