The Kiss.

The word "kiss 4" is Anglo-Saxon,
and may, indeed, be taken as an in
stance of how pleasant Anglo-Saxon
can be. The phiologist assures us that
it is allied to the Gothic kustus, proof
or test, and to the Latin gustus, taste,
which suggests the old saying that the
proof of the pudding is the priein' OF"
That same Gothic kustus comes from
the verb kiusan, to choose, from which
one would imagine that among the
Goths kissing went by favor. Accord
ing to Professor Skeat, writing with all
the austerity and scholarship of an ex-
pert, kiss is " a gust, taste, some
thing choice" Rowena, the beautiful
daughter of the Saxon Hengist, is cred
tied with having introduced kissing into
these fortunate islands; but it seems
to me that had the natives been so ut
terly unenlightened, the Romans could
hardly have failed to anticipate her.
The Romans had a really delightful
word for kiss-osculum, which comes
from os, the mouth, and meant little
mouth, sweet mouth. Give me
sweet little mouth " would be the phrase
used when a good little Roman boy
asked his mother for kiss. Our Eng
fish word occurs pretty nearly in its
present form in Anglo-Saxon, Dutch,
Icelandic, Danish, Swedish, and Ger
man. And this is worthy of note, be-
cause, natural as kissing may seem to
be Ito many of us), it is a practice un-
known to the Australians, to the Maori
of New Zealand, the Papuans of New
Guinea, the people of Taluti, the ne
groes of central and southern Africa,
the Botocudos of Brazil, the savages of
Terra del Fuego, the Laplanders, and
the Eskimo. Most of the benighted

A Girl OF the Long Ago.

An old man sits at eventide when the summers
sun is low;
His thoughts, like birds of beauteous wing, 20
back to the long ago;
He looks upon golden tress which like n sun
beam lies
In his wrinkled palm, and tears will start un.
hidden to his eyes.
The tress recalls a grlsh form; he sees II
through his tears;
merry voice rings out from where are
grouped the vanished years;
Yes, from the past two eyes look forth with
lovelght all aglow,
And now before him stands once more girl OF
the long ago
You'd smile to see her standing mone the
maidens of today,
Her garments of quaint old style forever
passed away,
And in the attic, hid away-a secret tits, you
know
Is nm old, old dress, the wedding gown of girl
of long ago.
There are silver buckles on her shoes, a dainty
little pair;
The old, old man looks down and smiles, as II
they're really there;
He saw them trip the Money Musk" when the
harvest moon was low
What said he on the homeward ride to that
girl of the long ago7
No matter what; the wedding bells rang joy
ously one morn
When DER the clover came the wind to kiss the
silken corn,
And he who oft with beating heart had played
the boyish beau
Stood up and blushed beside his bride-the girl
of the long ago.
Methinks that while he sits and rocks, with
life at its decline,
Still for his eyes and his alone her silver buckles
shne
cannot tell you when she died; this only do
know
She is his bride today as when he won her long
ago
little miss steals forth sometimes and climbs
upon his knee;
Her fingers smooth his snowy locks, her eyes
are fair to see;
He kisses her with youthful zest, his own eyes
all aglow,
Because she is the image of girl of the long
ago.

Shopping for Amusement.

The French critic, musician and gov
eminent official, Romieu, was fond of
Joking. One of his diversions-amus-
ing, but not to be commended-was to
go into some shop where he was not
known and perplex the clerks by his
questions and remarks. One day he
went into a glove store and told the
clerk that he wished to make a pur-
chase, but must apologize for his poor
French. If she would listen carefully
he hoped to make himself Ineligible.
He had always found the clerks in Paris
so intelligent and amiable, he said, that
one need not be discouraged even if he
cid not speak the language very well.
He would like a pair of gloves-kid
gloves Did she understand?
All this was said in perfect French,
with irreproachable accent and idioms.

"Ah, then 1 will persevere; kid gloves,

stretch them, and put in some glove

press my thanks for the promptness and
courtesy with which have been served. y
