AS sign of affection. kissing was
unknown to the Australians, the New
Zealanders, the Papuans. the Exqui-
maux and other races. The Polyne-
SLAMS and the Malays always

The inhabitants of Mallicolo. an island
in the Pacific Ocean, show their ad-
miration by kissing; the Exquimaux
pull a persons nose as a compliments
a Chinaman puts on his hat where we

curious people a coffin is considered
as neat and appropriate present fol

Prof. Muttrich, of Berlin, has reach

The forest exercised q positive IN

summer more than in winter. 8. The
influence of the leaf forest was in sum

The idea of cooperative agriculture
is being elaborated by the Minneapolis
Knights of Labor, who have been a
corporated society since 1888. At their
last meeting they discussed q scheme
for the founding Of a colony where
spectators cannot enter. The society
propose issuing Eve thousand shares at
$40 each. to be invested in land, the
limit for each member to be one-half
section. In this way each will be pro
vided with a home and a farm, even
though he be of moderate means.

A curious fact in connection with
cremation is the amount Of ashes re-
ceived from body and the disposition
made of them. The two largest
bodies cremated in Philadelphia
weighed two hundred pounds each,
the ashes weighing four pounds eight
ounces and five pounds four and a
half ounces, respectively. The largest
percentage of ashes thus far received
was from a body Weighing $50 pounds,
and whose ashes weighed five pounds
and eleven ounces. Various disposi-
ton has been made of the ashes, in
some instances the remains being
buried, in some retained in the family,
and in others sent to Europe. The
ashes Of one subject we're placed in
a marble urn and deposited in a Ma
sonic lodge-rOOm, while those Of an
other, Miss Clancy, the actress, were
divided, a part being buried by the
side Of her sister in Baltimore and the
rest by her mothers side in Maine.

Rats and mice we're long the scourge
of Hawaiian farmers, but they have
been successfully dealt with by the
introduction of the mongoose. Thirty
six pairs of this animal were imported
from Jamaica two years ago into the
district of Hilo, with the result of in
stantly clearing 1900 acres of cane of
this nuisance One planter estimates
his saving from this cause last year at
$4,000.

AS a grape growing country a large
portion Of Ontario. says The Toronto
Globe, compares very favorably with
most of the well known grape coun-
tries Of the world. A very consider
able portion Of the province is not
supposed by any district either in
America or Europe, so far at least
as quantity of grapes per acre is con-
concerned. The yield Of the Concord
grape-the leading grape of this con
tinent-averages from Montreal to the
Detroit river, over twice as much as in
France, Italy, or south Germany, but
the Concord is heavy bearer. Some
parts of southern Ontario, like wes-
tern New York, show average yields
eouaIing any in southern California.
AS compared with the Carolinas, Mis-
souri,. or southern Ohio, Ontario takes
precedence in grape growing, for,
though in some Of the higher and
more northern districts frosts occa-
sionally cause damage, and once in a
series Of years destroy the crop, that
drawback is not nearly so serious
as the mlldew Of more southern lati-
tudes in America east Of the Rocky
mountains.

Mr.. Hendricks hesitated momentarily then
replied, with some emphasis, Il do not think
anything can be called an established fact
about which there is still argument, discus

1T has been intimated, AR. Hendricks in
various newspapers that there Is not that
icordiality and saneness of opinion between
President Cleveland and yourself that would
naturally be expected 10 characterize the
first Democratic administration in twenty
five years"
Well rs to that, it is the invention prin-
cipally of disaffected representatives of fac
tons on the one hand and the suspicious
and cCnjectures, and '0ftentimes Ebels, OF
partisan organs of the opposition. People
who can intelligcntly judge of the difference
or our positions will place no cFedence in
such statements. Our relations when we
meet are decidedly cordial. | have not seen

Have you paid any attention to the out
come of the investigation by the Civil Ser
vice Commission Of the charges against
Aquilia Jones' the Postmaster of Indian
apolis?"
YES. I read their report generating him
with great satisfaction. Mr. Jones Is AN able
and an honorable man. He is not muca OF
a lawyer, but good business man, and VIII
do what is right in the office, performing his
duties TO the public in satisfactory man
ner, while conforming strictly to the letter
of the law. i am glad, on his account, the
committee returned report about which
fair-ininded people will not cavil."
Mr.. Hendricks took his departure this
afternoon for New York.
