kissing In the Streets.

Helmagen, a Roumanian country town
of / 200 inhabitants, holds its annual fair
on the feast of st. Theodore.
On this occasion the place swarms with
newly married brides from some 80 to so
villages in the district, though widows
who have taken fresh husbands remain at
home.
The young women, in festive attire and
generally attended by their mothers-in-
law, carry jugs of wine inwreathed with
flowers in their hands.
They kiss almost every man they meet,
and afterward present the jug to his lips.
The individual thus RECALLED bestows a
small gift on the fair bride
Not TO partake of the proffered wine is
regarded as an insult TO the young wife
and her family. She is therefore reserved
toward strangers, and only kisses those
whom she thinks likely to taste her wine.
The origin of this custom is not known.
Some say that IL dates back to the time
when the Turks made frequent raids into
Pennsylvania and carried away all the
young women on whom they could lay
hands.
Such of them as contrived TO escape from
captivity, happening to return 10 Helmagen
at the time of the fair, kissed their friends
and relatives and even strangers who con.
graduated them on their wonderful deliv-

Useful Tubers.

Great quantities of buttons, as well as
billiard balls, are now made from potatoes.
1t is not generally known that if the sub
stance of the common potato be treated
with certain acids IL becomes almost as
hard as stone and can be used for many
purposes for which horn, ivory and bone
are now employed. This quality of the po-
tato adapts it TO button making, and a
very good grade Of button is now made
from the well known tuber. The potato
button cannot be distinguished from the
Others save by "A careful examination and
even then only by an expert, since IL can
be colored TO suit the goods on which IL is

a button of bone or ivory. The cheapness
Is a great recommendation and will no
doubt lead to n much larger employment

BICYCLE COASTlNG DANGEROUS.
Advice 20 Riders Who Are Apt to Re
Overventuresome.


There is encouragement in pointing out
the risks Of coasting on the bicycle, because
many have already realized the danger and
refrain from the practice. Those who ride
the wheel well know what temptation it
is to take their feet from the pedals when
they come to "a long hill and run swiftly
down without any effort on their part. The
danger lies in not being able TO get the feet
back on the pedals again when the ma
chine is moving rapidly, in case it be-
comes necessary to do So No bicycle can
be controlled unless the feet are ON the
pedals.
A number Of unexpected events are Ii
able To occur to "a rider and especially
when traversing roads with which he is
not entirely familiar. Every precaution
should be used to guard against these. The
public has been startled by the experiences
of the Rev. John Britain Clark, who was
found in an unconscious condition and very
seriously injured near Hackettstown, n.
j. 1t was first stated that Mr.. Clark ac-
cident was caused by his coasting down a
long hill and running into a ravine But
this turns out To be only theory, for the
wounded man has not yet SO far recovered
as TO be able to give an account of the &C
cident. He was found unconscious at the
foot of a steep hill, and if it develops later
that he WAS coasting another serious acct
dent Will be added TO the many which have
been caused by this hazardous practice.
Many people ride the wheel and the pro-
portion of accidents is small, but the ex-
perience just referred to shows need of
great care. Even persons who ordinarily
exercise caution occasionally get into trou
BILE, so that reckless riders are pretty sure
to come TO grief sooner or later.--Brook
