The Hand Kiss.

The kiss of the hand is undoubtedly
ancient. and therefore is not derived
from that OF the lips, but probably the
converse is true. The hand kiss is
loosely asserted to be developed from
servile o~beisances in which the earth,
the foot and the garments were kissed,
the hand and cheek succeeding in or
der Of time and approach to equality OF
rank. But it is doubtful if that was
the actual order, and it is certain that
at the time when hand kissing began
there were less numerous gradations Of
rank than at a later stage.
Kissing OF the hands between men is
mentioned in the Old Testament, also
by Homer, Pliny and Lucian. The
kiss was applied reverentially to sacred
objects, such as statues of the gods. as
S shown by ancient works OF art, and
also among etymologies by
that of the Latin word ..adoro, and il
was also metaphorically applied by the
inferior or w~orshiper kissing his own
hand and throwing the salute to the
superior or statue Popular Science

How the human system ever RECEIVERS from the
bad effects OF the nauscous medicines often liter
orally poured into 1t for the suppositive relief of
dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipation, rhcuma-
tism and other ailments, It is a mystery. The
mischief done by bad medicines Is scarcely less
Than that caused by disease. II they who are
weak, bilious, dyspeptic, constipated or rheuma-
tic, would oftener be guided by the ex pericnce of
1nvaiids who have thoroughly tested Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, they would in every instance
obtain the s~peediest aid derivable from rational
medication. This medicine is a searching and at
the same time a thoroughly safe remedy. derived
from vegetable sources, and possessing, in conse-
quence of its basis OF pure spirits, properties as
a med cinal stimulant not to be found in the fiery
local bitters and stimulants often resorted to by
the debilitated, dyspeptic and languid.

Let your modesty be known to all men," He
said that while our Savior was still on earth he
told his followers that they would be called upon
to endure much and that their faith would be
sorely tried, but that they would be given strength
to triumph over all Universities. Every true
Christian should take pleasure in testifyng that
in spite of every obstacle that the bitterest enc.
mics could interpose, the church is triumphant
to-day. Christian faith has proved stronger than
all adverse powers. We should endeavor to i'm.
part this faith to others. We should show our
selves to be what we profess to be by giving our
whole life to the work-that is. so live that our
lives will be worthy object lessons to teach the
world the virtue of the faith we profess with our

must be brave. If we deny the Lord here he will
not recognize in the hereafter. Many who call
themselves Christians are content. and think they
are doing their duty, if they pass through life
smoothly. The best testimony we can give for
our faith is our lives. Men are quick to detect
the difference between sincerity and hypocrisy.
What argument for our faith can we bring to bear

A Tale of a Cat.

Only an Office cat, and yet shall never forget
her. To strangers she did not appear very pre-
possessing but she bore acquaintance admirably.
She one of those creatureswhose good qualities
stand out conspicuously only when measured by
the rule that pretty is as pretty does" She was
not fascinating tortoise.shell, with a charming
tri.color and an elegant and graceful form,
she aristocratc angora, with long, silky. wavy
hair; yet maltese, of a delicate rain.washed,
sky blue. tint. No; on the contrary, she was just
and ordinary, everyday, brindled tabby. with no
particular marks of beauty to make her vain and
saucy and overbe8rng toward her les, favored
sisters. nor had she any record of proud birth to
1aunt in the faces Of the plebeian cats of the
neighborhood. She was plain-mannered as she
was plain looking, and always avoided using big.
high sounding word when a simple. unaffected
one would answer the purpose just we'll. If
she knew any French or Latin phrases she had too
much good sense to infiict them upon her friends.
She was, as a rule, peacefully disposed. and her
sudden appearance on the coal shed or back fence
did not strike terror into the hearts of the less
agile and athletic cats there assembled. She was
different in her demeanor from the feline of which
the Georgia poet wrote:
II used to own a brindled cat
That fit at fifteen pound,
And all the other cats lit out
When this cat came around"
She did not presume to boss anybody, with but
one exception, and that was the cat belonging to

love Of truth which our cat possessed could not
endure such TRADE of vtuperatiOn and wholly

to the alley, and. with fire flashing from her eyes,
she would dare the other cat to come within reach
of her strong right paw. If the challenge was not
promptly accepted. she would fguratively speak
