KISSING THE BOOK.
English People just Learning the
Scotch Form of Onth Is AdInissibIe.

English People just Learning the
scotch Form of Oath Is Admissible.
With reference to the question asked
in parliament as to kissing the book,
q legal correspondent writes in the
London Telegraph that of late it has
been particularly noticeable that many
witnesses prefer the Scotch form of
taking the oath-by holding up the
right hand and repeating after ahe
Judge or clerk the solemn words. 1t
is only now that people are becoming
cornizant of the fact that they need
not kiss the book" The clause in the
oaths act of 1888, by which the Scotch
form is admissible, was not inserted to
meet religious difficulty, but Oh
medical grounds. Many persons have
properly an objection to touching with
their lips a volume which has been
thumbedI by scores of unknown per-
sons and may contain the germs of dis
ease. kissing the book is really no
essential part of the old-fashioned
oath. and the Scottish method. if uni.
versally adopted, would defeat the cun-
ming schemes of those who think their
conscience is quit of perjury when they
contrive to kiss their thumb instead OF
the book, which is generally soiled
and evil-smeliing thing. a story is
told Of a Glasgow bailie on the occasion
of witness being sworn before him
Hold up your right arm" commanded
the lineal descendant of Bailie Nicol
Jarvie. II canna dae't." said the wit
ness. why not?" Got shot in that
arm" Then hold up your left"
Gamma dae that either-got shot in the
ither arm. too" Then hold up your
leg" responded the irate magistrate;
mo man can be sworn in this court
without holding up something"

LONG HAIR A DISGRACE.
IN Corcn It Is indicative of Social Os-
traciam or AIcntnl Humility.

IN COrcn It Is indicative of Social Os-
traciam or Mental Humility.
The wearing of long hair in Corea is
indicative of social disgrace or mental
humility, ard marks either the penitent
or the outcast. The custom of wearing
the hair long by these classes has
aroused hecommercial spirit in certain
speculative natives, and they have set
about the labor of supplying the world
with hair shaved from the heads of their
fe!low-countrymen.
When the Mongorian faker desires to
punish himself for sin-real or fan
ced. it makes no difference-he allows
his hair and nails to grow. In the same
countries the criminal is obliged to let
his hair grow. because the true
orienta! despisoe long hair. and the
wearing of it is a certain sign of peni-
tence or punishment.
Now, Of recent years the Coreans
have learned to put these extraordinary
growths of hair-that is. after they are
cut off-to some commercial use. They
have established factories for the man
ufacture of mats. horse blankets, sad
die blankets. haiters and even whole
sets of harness. all from human hair.
\ carpet factory. in which carpet is
made from human hair, is also located
at Seoul. In this.connection it may be
apropos TO mention the famous prayer
rug" of the shah of Persia. 1t was
made in Corea more than century ago.
1t is three feet square and bordered
with diamonds and pearls, and is con-
Eidered of almost fabulous value.

"A gentleman who was fishing on
Seventh Lake. N. Y, few days ago
became tired and sleepy. So he an
chored his boat near the shore in q
shady spot and lay down in the bottom
for a nap. After awhile he was awak-
ened by something blowing upon his
face, and when he opened his eyes he
saw a big buck standing to his belly
in the water beside the boat and with
his nose close to the fisherman's face.
The gentleman lay quite still. rather
enjoying the situation. About that
time another boat came around the
corner into The LITTLE cove, andthe buck
with bound disappeared in the woods.

CHALLENGED GOD.

4 Seeding Forced Open the Walled
Tomb OF an Infiiei Countess.
I'm the town of Hanover, in Ger
many" Evangelist Moody writes in
Ladies' Home Journal. there is buried
German countess who denied the
existence of God and ridiculed the idea
of the resurrection. To further show
her contempt for Christianity she or
dered that on her death her grave
should be built up of solid masonry
and covered by large stones bound to-
gether by iron clamps. On this tomb
was engraved her defiant challenge
that through eternity this tomb should
never be disturbed. But one day the
seed from some tree, either blown by
the wind or carried by bird, became
lodged in small crevice of the tomb,
where soon it sprouted and began to
grow. And then, as if nature had
seemed to mock the naughty infdel,
she quietly extended the delicate root
of that Seeding under the massive
blocks of stone. and slowly raised them
from their place. And now, although
scarce four generations are passed
since that tomb was sealed that insignifi-
cant Seeding has accomplished what
God Himself was challenged to accom-
plish."

For al her Incompatible dignity of

and gentle about the queen of England.
az dOn't know how It is" remarked one
of her great officers not long ago, I'm
such shy man, and really to chat with
some princess embarrasses me. But
as soon as see the queen all shyness
vanishes. Why, she's as easy to talk
with as your own or anybody's mother!
No one can feel shy of the queen, and

TELL A WOMAN BY HER PURSE.


Things That Nearly Always Indicate
Owners Character and Condition.
1t has been stated, perhaps by detec-
tives, that the age and a great knowl-
edge of the whole character of woman
can be gained from the contents of her
pocketbook, says the Chicago Times
Herald.
The business woman always has a
number of receipted bills and a guam
tity of cash in her pocketbook, while the
mother of a family usually has many
unreceipted bills, little cash, and the
sides bursting with samples and bar
gain advertisements. The average
young lady has favorite poem slowed

store the other morning a tortoise shell
rortmonnaie was found on the floor.
1t contained IS cents, and, far back in
a secret pocket, a poem entitled Soul

Oh, eyes that pierce me through and
through
And draw my very soul away.
Your sunshine may not fill my life
Nor turn my darkness into day.
Next to that piece of sentiment was a
small card with the young lady's name
and weight printed upon it. On the
reverse side of the card was a date
with the words: "If the sun shines
three days after this, you will have
good luck for nine days" About noon

GAMBLING IN CRIPPLE CREEK.


Layouts in Every Saloon, and Miners
Who Have Stacks of Wealth.
Out in Cripple Creek the gambling
houses are running in every saloon,
says the Nebraska State Journal
They are huge, gilded affairs, where the
hard-working miners, after coming
from their eight-hour shifts, go to while
away their time and money instead of
thinking of home and mother and fill
ing their socks with money to pay OIL
the mortgages on the farms back home,
The men stand five and six deep be-
hind the wheels watching the players as
they risk their money, the less adven-
turous hardly having the courage to
make the play, till, having seen some
man get winner, they, too. step up
and bet on the black or the red. On
the tables are stacked piles of silver
coin and gold eagles, and the opera
tors of the machines every little while
take occasion to show that the game
is backed by much more than the thou
sand or SO that is in sight by displaying
stack of bills in a receptacle behind
the table where the notes are thrown
when paid in with a kind of reckless
abandon that is quite taking.
At other tables a policy wheel will
be running, with so many drawings a
day. In another corner of the room a
crowd of men will be shooting craps,
n large and intensely absorbed crowd
witnessing the play at each place. OF
at one side a stud poker game is run
ming. The old miners seem to favor
this game particularly, and their griz-
zlcd features show the intensity Of their
interest as the chips come and 60.
