THE HISTORY OF KISSING.
A Form of Salutation Limited to n Few
Races. .

Form of Salutation Limited to a Few
Races.
"'Tis certain" said Dick Steele Of
kissing, mature was its author, and
that il began with the first courtship."
But this is incorrect. IT'S certain that
to many human tribes kissing is I'M
known. Instead of saying kiss me-"
they say "smell me-" and this, doubt
less, represents an earlier form of salu-
tation. The kiss is much later than the
0ance. 1t is still unknown among many
races, and may be called conventional.
Some nations smell and rub noses, like
horses, in salutation; and, where two
Frenchmen will run and kiss each
other, two Central Africans will DELHI
erately spit, by way of friendly greet
ing.
DR.. Tylor says: 1.-THE idea of the kiss
being an instructive gesture is neg
atived by its being unknown over half
the world, where the prevailing salute
is that by smelling or shifting, which be-
longs to Polynesians, Malays, Burmese
and other Indo-Chinese, Mongols, ETC.,
extending thence to the Esquimaux,
and westward to Lapland, where Lin
naeus saw relatives saluting by putting
their noses together
The kiss is the salute by tasting, and
it has to be taught to children. Preyer.
in his excellent book, THE Mind of the
Child" states that first they are averse
to, and even fearful of, the performs
ance. However this may be, it is GER
tain that Europeans speedily take to it
as though to the manner born. OscuIa-
tons were far more common in the
good old times than at present. The
custom which most delighted Erasmus
when in England was that the girls all
kissed him.
When ceasing to be performed, some
of these ceremonies leave their trace in
language. Thus both Austrians ard
Spaniards say: II kiss your hands," as
II polite term for returning thanks.
John Bunyan was very different man
from Erasmus, and in his "Grace
Astounding" he says: 1.-THE common
salutation Of women I abhor; it is
odious to me in whatsoever 1 see it."
And to those who defended it as cae
holy kiss he pertinently asked: "Why
did they salute the most handsome and
let the ill-favored go?"-London Tit

stu Half Savage.
The prevailing motive, not to appear
singular, accounts for the continuance
of certain fashions, many being the re-
suits of superstition, religious observ-

We are acquainted with what facility
hair may be fashioned into various fan

and when part through the middle is

detract from ones intellectual appear
ance, no thought is given.
If fashion says crimp, we crimp; if
curl and wave, we obey. And the GUS
tom of keeping the head closely shaved
prevails, as among the Fijian women,
while the men cultivate long hair, thus
reversing the conditions met with
among highly civilized nations.
The lips, ears and nose offer variety
of possible alterations and are means
of ornamental display, and says Capt.

lip ornamentations by the Bolocudo In
dams and the Thlinket Bella are dis
gusting in the extreme, and in the heart
of Africa among the Bongo women a
clamp or clasp is worn at the corners
of the mouth, as if they wanted to con-
tract the orifice and literally put curb
on its possibilities.
The teeth cannot escape, and the Ma
lays view in disgust the natural tint,

One views in horror the Chinese
method of foot binding, but which is
much mitigated when considering by
degrees the fashionable toe used in the
last century.

FLOWERS ARE reRfuMEp.
How sunhowers Are Made to Smell Like
the Rose.

How sunhowers Are Made to Smell Like
the Rose.
To artificially perfume flowers is the
latest fad in Paris. 1t has been found
possible not only to take away from q
flower the odor given to it by nature,
but actually make 1t yield n perfume
derived from some other vegetable
product.
There are, for instance, certain vio-
let's with little or no odor, but very
beautiful as to form, while there are
Others that are poor to look upon but
very rich in perfume. The transfer of
the odor from one species to the other
has been successfully performed in
Paris.
Again, the African marigold, which
Is a handsome flower, has been robbed
of it's evil odor and given a perfume
that makes it really valuable and de-
licious. This fad for pertaining flowers
has even been pushed to the absurd
length of imparting the odor of the rose
to the sunfower, while chrysanthc-
NUNS have been made to smell like
the violet.
According to the method pursued the
flowers are placed in box, the interior
OF which has been cooled with ice. Lead
ing into this box is pipe with holes
bored in it.
bonic acid gas perfumed with the de-
sired odor is sent. This current is pro-
duced by the evaporation of the liquid
carbonic acid, which is passed through
'worm" like that used in distilling
whisky. The heated carbonic bubbles
up through mass of the essential oil
containing the perfume and takes on
the properties of the odor. which is
then impaired to the flowers in the
box.
This machine is most commonly used
in strengthening the natural perfume
Of certain flowers, like violets and roses.
III this way an intense perfume is OBJ
tanned, which will last for many days.
When it is desired to first rob flower
OF its natural odor before giving it that
OF some other flower, it is stepped in
bromated water and then washed. In
the case of the African marigold, which
was robbed of it's smell, the seeds were
first allowed to soak for two days in
rose water containing little musk.
Then they were partially dried and
sown.
The flowers that grew in time were
not entirely deprived of their bad odor.
but one was able to detect, mingled
with the original smell, the agreeable
odors of the rose and the musk. The
seeds of these plants being again sown
after similar treatment, it was found
that there was still further improve

MAKING CHEAP TOYS.
How an Old Austrian Woman Carves
Animals of Every Kind.

How an Old Austrian Woman Carves
Animals of Every Kind.
Amelia B. Edwards, in her "Untrod-
den Peaks" mentions many interesting
visits to the homes of the working peo-
pie of ST. Ulrich, Austria, where so
many toys are made. In one house
they found an old, old woman at work,
Magdalena Paldauff by name. She
carved cats, dogs, wolves, sheep, goats
| and elephants. She has made those six
animals her whole life long, and she has
no idea of how to cut anything else.
She makes them in two sizes, and she
turns out as nearly as possible thou
sand of them q year.
She has no model or drawing of any
kind to work by, but goes on steadily,
unerringly, using guages of different
sizes, and shaping out her cats, dogs,
wolves, sheep, goats and elephants with
On ease and an amount of truth to ma
ture that would be clever, If it were not
utterly mechanical. Magdalena Paul
dauff learned from her mother how to
carve those six animals, and her mother
had learned, in like manner, from her
grandmother.
Magdalena has taught the art to her
own granddaughter, and SO it will go
on being transmitted for generations.
In another house, Miss Edwards found
the whole family carving skulls and
crossbones for fixings at the bases of
crucifixes, for the wood carving of Grod-
ner Thai is religious in its nature as well
as amusing. In other houses there were
families that carved rocking horses or
dolls or other toys, and in still other
houses there were families of painters.
In one house were dozen girls paint
ing gray horses with black points. In
another house they painted only red
horses with white points. 1t is sep
nrate branch of the trade to paint sad
dies and headgear.
A good hand will paint 12 dozen
horses day, each horse being about n
foot in length, and for these she is paid
IS soldi, or about 81 cents.

All steel traps are provided with

He never goes far, and there is less
chance for him to jerk his foot out than
there would be il the trap were fas-
