One Of the most characteristic features
Of European prisons as a whole is that
prisoners are allowed TO have portion
of their earnings. This system prevails
III France, Germany, Italy. Switzgrland,
Russia, Sweden, Denmark and Other
countries. The amount earned by the
prisoners varies considerably where it
depends upon piece work. In France the
average salary Of the prisoner Is 35 cents
a day. OF this amount the prisoner is
allowed TO spend one-haif while IN pris-
on for supplementary food and clothing,
postage, etc, though no expenditure is
made without the approval Of the ad-
ministratiun. The other half Is reserved
until the time Of his discharge A three
years prisoner has tohis credit On leav-
ing an average of $50. four years

Kissing.

An English Journal prints the follow
ing: "A very disagreeable habit Of the
king of Portugal is that he kisses his
male friends. The princes of our reign
ing house all do this, and of course it is
common enough abroad; but, thank
heaven, so far this nasty looking (no
matter how really innocent) habit has
never become fashionable in this coun-
try 1t is of course all a mere question
of etiquette, but let Us fervently pray
that Englishmen when they meet with
or part from their friends will never get
to think it the correct thing to kiss one
another. Etiquette III parting varies all
over the world. In America the men
shake hands and the women kiss one an
other and sometimes cry, for the Amer
lean ladies are champion weepists. In
France and in Italy even more the wom-
Ell weep, while the men kiss and hug
one another almost as vigorously as if
they were in a wrestling match. An
English woman shakes hands with a
man of her acquaintance, while i'll Spain
she always gives her hand 20 be kissed.
1t makes the same sensation in Madrid
for man to take woman's hand and
shake it as it would in London for for
eigner to seize lady S hand and kiss it. y
