nese remarked with considerable aston
ishment: DO you mean to say that those
people never kiss?" Yes, it is a fact mat
they do not. IL one speaks of native Japa-
nese customs; and, what is more. II is also
a fact when one SPEAKS of customs which
are peculiar to all the peoples of Eastern
Asia. practically all OF Polynesia. much of
Africa, the native races Of North Ameri-
ca, and those Of many other parts of the
world.
It would not be worth while to compile
careful statistics even IL the necessary
data were easily accessible; but / believe
that 1t Is not far from the truth to say
that one-half the people Of this earth do
not use osculation at all, and that many
of those who do kiss, do not press lips
to lips. The idea OF its being a natural
or spontaneous gesture is refuted by the
fact that It Is unknown to so many peo-
pies. The salutation by smiling (some-
times called rubbing noses" by travellers
of doubtful eXactness), which prevails
among the Polyneslan Malays. Burmese
and other Indo-Chiuese, Mongols ana 9TH
ers of ASIA and which extends eastward

the forest growth, and the rights of others are not thereby jeopardized. The pasturing of sheep is, however, prohibited in all forest reservations, except those in the states of Oregon and Washington, for the reason that sheep-grazing has been found injurious to the forest cover, and therefore of serious consequence in regions where the rainfall is limited. The exception in favor Of the states of Oregon and Washington is made because the con tinuOus moisture and abundant rain fall of the Cascade and Pacific coast ranges make rapid renewal of herbage and under growth possible. Owners of sheep are required to make application to the Commissioner of the General Land Office for permission to pasture, stating the number of sheep and the location on the reserves where it is de- sired to graze. Permission will be re- fused or revoked whenever it shall ap- pear that sheep are pastured on parts Of the reserve specially liable to injury. or upon and in the vicinity Of the Bull Run reserve, Crater Lake, Mount Hood, Mount Rainier, or other we'll known places of public resort or reser- voir supply. Permission will also cease upon proof Os neglect as to the care of fires made by herders, or of the viola tion by them of any of the forest re- serve regulations.

 "It is further provided, that nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the egress or ingress of actual settlers residing within the boundaries of such reservations, or from crossing the same to and from their property or homes; and such wagon roads and other i'm provements may be constructed thereon as may be necessary to reach their homes and to utilize their property under such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior.

WHEAT IND FLAX.

In southern Minnesota . mixed
crop OF wheat aud fax 10 sowed
with good results and at present
prices brings fair crop to value
of about $40 an aero. One of the
stats institute farmers thus de-
scribes the modus operandi:
We put the crop on we'll prspar-
cd soil, sowing early in tho spring
with broadcast seeders, II bushels
par acre. With drill less seed
would be required. Cross seeding
with flax would DO an advantage
using l part of fax to2 Of wheat
Sowing wheat deeper than than
fax would also be an advantage
The crop is harvested when full
ripe the same 10 wheat. The mix
ed crop will thresh some better
than wheat, as flax is held longer in
machine on account of wheat
STRAW, and seed 10 not broken
as easily. The mixed crop is
quite readily separated with any
flaming mill With fax gang or
sleeves.
We began growing tho crop to
keep chinch tugs bugs from des-
troying our wheat. We also find
it protects against must and other
fungus diseases.

HE administration is much
alarmed about the success of Ha-
waiian annexation, and fresh efforts
are being made to get enough votes
to ratify the treaty in the senate,
in order to keep the matter from
getting before the house at all.
This fresh alarm was started by
Representative II. U. johnson, Of
Indiana, who surprised everybody
by making corking good speech
against the policy Of annexation in
general, and especially against the
annexation of Hawaii, while the
the sundry civil bill was under
consideration. The applause given
Mr.. johnson from his own side of
the house indicates that more re-
publicans will vote against a reso.
luton for annexation than had
been put down in the opposition
column, and tho administration
fears that annexation will be de.
tented in the house, if it gets be.
fore that body. There are about
30 democrats in the house who
would vote for annexation.

SPAIN WANTS W:zR.

Things are looking decidedly
better in Washington, to those
who believe that it is better to
fight than to he trampled upon
and spit upon, than they were last
week. Members of the admins
tration are still talking peace, but
they have quit trying to cram the
accident theory of the loss Of
the Maine down mems throats, and
what is better than all, they are
preparing to fight. They still claim
to have no more information than
they have given to the public, aud
to be waiting for the report of the
Naval Court of Inquiry, now sit
ting in Havana harbor, in order to
ascertain whether the Maine was
accidentally blown up or was blown
up by Spanish torpedo. Their
claims are not worrying anybody
so long as they are going ahead
theoretically making preparations
for that war with Spain which q
majority of Congress now regard
as inevitable. In fact, Mckinley
is said to have bacome convinced
by reports from Gen. Fitz. Lee,
end other U. S. Consul in Cuba,
that regardless of the Maine catas-
trophs the time has about come
when be must either intervene in
behalf of Cuba or eat the threat
of doing SO, after giving Spain an
opportunity to try its autonomy
fake, made in his annual message
to congress. Those consular re-
ports, which show beyond the
shadow of doubt that autonomy
in Cuba is dead beyond hope of
resurrection, have been called for
by both the house and senate. Nc
Kinley has held them back, he
says because Of the excitment
casued by the wreck of the Maine;
but it is probable that his know
ledge that he must act after they
are laid before congress also had
something to do with tue delay.
Unless all signs fail he is getting
ready to sct, and not minute too
soon, either.

for the belligerency resolution that
the senate adopted last Maybe
was its author as al Independent

for declaration of war against
Spain, which he regarded as moro
proper than attempting to sneak =
belligerency declaration through

believed that Spain and the Unit
ed States would fight over Cuba
and that he still believed it; that
he had always believed that ssoon
as Spain realized that it had lost
Cuba, it would seek a war with Us
in order to save Spanish pride by
