KISS FOR EVERYONE,
An Annual Roumanian Fair Whore Oscu
lation Reigns.

An Annual Ronmanian Fair Where Oscu-
lation Reigns.
Helmagen, u Roumanian country
town of 1900 inhabitants, holds it's an
nual fair on the feast of St..Theodore.
On this occasion the place swarms with
newly married brides from 60 or 80 viii
lagos in the district; widows who have
taken fresh husbands remain at home.
The young women, in festive attire,
and generally attended by their moth
ers-in-law, carry jugs of wine en-
wreathed with flowers in their hands.
They kiss every one they meet, and
afterward present the jug to his lips
for nip" The individual thus re-
called bcstows small gift on the fair
Cybele. 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 Of her wine.
The kissing is carried on everywhere
in the streets, in the taverns and in pll-
vate houses. ;g.s ! :.
The origin of this custom Il veiled
In obscurity. Some say that it dates
back to the time when the Turks made
frequent raids into Transy1vania and
carried away all the young women they
could lay their hands on. Such Of them
as contrived to escape. from captivity
happening to return to Helmagen at
the time of the fair, kissed their friends
and relatives, and even strangers who
congratulated them on their wonder

Dog Nelson Uses Queer Means Of Dis
posing of q snarling Cur.
The London Spectator tells a dog
story of unusual quality:
Nelson was one Of ourselves. Where
We went he went, He was especially
fond of following our trap, and moth
ing, not evenshfs dog friends, could d.
vert him from his faithful attendance at
cur wheels. ~. g
One summer we were staying at the
west coast village of saltcoats, where
the sands are broad. and flat, and wo
often drove along the road skirting the
bay. Nelson followed, of course. The
dogs of the village seldom molested or
interrupted him, but one rash little
terrier repeatedly rushed out of his gar
den gate as we passed, and bit at Nell
sons heels.
Time after time Nelson declined to
1otice the insult, but one day his pa
tience became exhausted. Turning
around he caught the unhappy terrier
by the back of the neck, carried him
down the sands and into the water
chest deep, put his paw on him and
drowned him, and then carried him
back to the dry sand and laid him out
there.
One crunch of his jaws would have
dono the deed, and more quickly; but
1t seemed as if Nelson had no personal
animosity against the dog, or at least
had suppressed it, but concluded that
the world would be better Off without
such snarling cur.

CANNED WITH THE TOMATOES.
A Factory Girl Loses Watch in Thi.

A Factory Girl Loses a Watch in This
Manner.
The finding of gold watch and chain
In can of tomatoes by an Indianapo-
lis woman brings out remarkable
story, says the indianapolis News. The
find was reported and the circumstance
noted in the News, and the next day
young woman who is employed in Z
cannery appeared at the Office and iden-
titled the watch and chain.
She lost them, she said, two years ago,
and while employed at the factory. She
did not know how She lost them, and adj
vertised in the News at the time for
several days. She says this would have
discovered her property if it had not
been sealed in can in storehouse.
She had long ago bought a new one.
The lost one was dearer to her, however,
both because it was prettier and be-
cause it was given to her. Her theory
is that the watch and pendant chain
dropped from her belt into one of the
elevator buckets of tomatoes, was car
ried to the filler, and went through the
filler to the can. The bow, or ring,
which connects watch and chain, was
not found, and it is believed that this
part was not solid gold, and was, there
fore, eaten by the acid of the tomatoes.
The handspring was broken, but every
thing else kept intact during the two
years handling of the can, and the
watch is again as good as new and is
Keeping good time. The foreman Of
the factory says that another watch
was lost by one Of the girls last year.

MEMS HANDS.

They Arc Awkward Appendages In eos
ciety-the Bon-Bon Box.
1t is sometimes interesting to observe
the awkward use men make of thei1
hands at formal indoor assemblages oe
the two sexes, says the New York Sun.
10 the larger number these members
are positive incumbrance, and every
device is resorted to to find employment
for them. Even in the older social GEN.
ters of Europe a graceful and easy dis.
posal of the hands, by men, is recog-
nized as exceptional. During the reign
of Louis XIV, XIV. and XVI, when the
elsgancies of high life were studied i4
the minutest detail, the superfuity Of
the hands was q matter of grave con-
Germ. Relief was found, however, in
the pommel of the sword, the bonbon
or the snuff box. These proved havens
OF refuge, and manual awkwardness
was saved from shipwreck. The snuff
box endured until the early years of tho
present century; but since it has passed
away the society man is left to such de.
vices for the use of his hands as inge-
nuity can suggest. The beacon of sal
vation is at last in sight through the
vogue, now in progress of growth i.
Paris, for the use of bonbon boxes by
men. These receptaeles are coming
into common use, and many are of great
cost and beauty of workmanship. They
are made i'll chased gold and silver, OF
enameled, and set with precious stones.
Not only do they contribute decofa.
tive note to social functions, but they
offer grateful relief to those men whose
hands are apparently superfluous on
such occasions. Without doubt this
new fashion will find favor with us, and
within brief period thousands of these
bonbon boxes will be made in Newark
and exhibited i'll Chicago society us an.

HOW SALMON ARE CANNED.

1hc Rough and Elementary Process
Through Which This Table Dainty Goes.
Salmon, though usually considered q
delicate and somewhat expensive dain.
~, are canned by process which il
both rough and elementary, says Pear
sons Weekly.
At the spot where they are to bo
landed, rude sheds are built close down
by the waters edge. The salmon are
thrown out of the boats by forks, and
passed into the first shed, where q
butcher, armed with long knife, de-
privcs them of heads, tails, fins, cuts
them open, and hands them on to the
washing room.
Thence they pass into the hand of
another butcher, who divides them up
into suitable lengths. These are stuffed
into the cans, which are then placed on
an inclined plane, their tops being au-
to1natically' soldered on as they roll
down.
The cans are arranged on a. tray, and
immersed in boiling water. They are
taken out and tested, they are given q
lacquer bath and tested again, by the
simple means of hammering nail
against the tins, and judging the quail
ity by the sound given out.
Forty-eight cans are packed in q
case, and the salmon, short time ago
alive and fresh, now cooked and canned,
is ready for the market.
An average sized fish will fill 20 cans,
several thousand going through the
rough canning process a day.

MARTlAN METEORoLoaY.
She Weather on Our Nclghboring Planet
is Always Fine.

xhe Weather on Our Nelghboring Planet
is Always Fine.
The Martian meteorology is less com.
plicated and more pleasant than that Ct
the earth, says the North American Re-
view. There the weather is almost 81.
ways fine, especially during summer.
Very seldom are there clouds even in
winter. Generally, when we are un-
able to distinguish through the tele-
scope the details of the geographical
configuraticns upon the planet the fault
is in our own atmosphere and not in
that of Mars. 1t is very rarely the case
that when our atmospheric conditions
are good we are unable to see these de-
tails. During the last period of Lob.
servation of Mars in 1894, I, to speak for
myself, encountered only Is days (from
October 10 to 25) when the surface of
the planet was veiled by it's own atmos.
phere. Clouds are excessively rare on
the surface of Mars, and perhaps exist
at all only as fogs Or light cirrus; they
are not clouds of rain or storm. These
wells are very infrequent there, while
they are perpetual upon the earth.
Probably there is not a single day in
the year when the entire surface of the
earth is uncovered so that it could be
satisfactorily observed from space. The
two planets have two meteorological
systems that are absolutely antithetic.
al.
Furthermore, in the rarefied atmos-
phere Of Mars there can be no powerful
winds, like the trade winds, and the
predominant atmospheric currents
which rule terrestrial climates. Oc-
casiona!ly, however, observers have
noted long streaks of snow which ap.
pear to have been produced by currents
in tranquil atmosphere. Schiaparelli,
for instance, observed such strealss
("trainees'O in November and Deccm.
Der, 1881, around the northern pole, and
extending a considerable distance from
1T. But such things are exceptions.
The normal condition of Mars is fine
weather.
