THE ETHNOLOGY or KISSING.
DR.. Daniel C. Brinton In Science.

DR.. Daniel G.. BrintOn in Science.
The kiss was unknown, i think. among the
aboriginal tribes Of America and of Central
Africa. From the most ancient times however,
ii has been familiar to the Asiatic and EURO
pean races The Latins divided il into three
forms-the osculum, the basium and The suaV-
ium; the first being the kiss Of friendship ana
respect the second of ceremony and the thHa
Of love. The Semites always knew the KISS
ana Job speaks Of ii as part Of the sacred r1'es'
as it is to-day in the Roman Church.
The Monaghan kiss. however. Is rot the same
as that which prevails with Us In i the Ups
DO not touch the surface Of the person kissed
The nose is brought into light contact Win me
cheek, forehead hand the breath Is dSd~n
slowly through the nostr!ls and thu act mas
with slight smack Of the lips. The Chiucse
consider our mode or kissing full Of coarse suS.
eestiveness and our writers regard their method
with equal disdain.
Darwin All other naturalists have attempted
10 trace back the kiss 10 the act u The io"e'
animals who seize their prey with Their ter'i.
etc An interesting recent study Of the subJeo.

A SCENE OF PANIC.


AGAINST signor Maurigi for the purpose OF
averting the effects If his evil eye. IL was Il
,i1iculous scene in one way. and yet there was
an element Of sadness about 1t when ser'ru 10
h,,sh rho voice Of the scorer. For it WAS pitt
ful TO think that the national dcstlhles Oh Il
rraat nation such as Italy should depend in airy
way upon the belief in 80 childish ana IDLE
suncrstition. The most remarkable feature
about the fight from the chamber was the
fact that il was headed precisely by those poll
tcia:,s ana statesmen who affect to believe III
the existence of neither God nor Of the devil
and who lose no occasion of derding every
thing pertaining to Christianity as foolish fairy
tales suited only for the intelligence OF Old
women and children. And in this connection
