ALL KINDS OF KISSES,

The kiss, we are told, was formula
Of good will among the ancient
Romans, and was adopted by the early
Christians, whose ''hov V kiss" and "kiss
of charity carried the weight of apo
stolic sanction.
1t is usual that the golden cross #
the sandal on the pope's right loot
should be kissed by newly created
cardinals and by those tc whom an
audience is granted. Even royal per-
sons paid this act OF homage to the
vicar of Christ, Charles V being the
last to do so.
Men in uncivilzed regions kiss the
feet of superior or the ground in
front of him, and in ancient times to
press the lips to the knee or hem of a
garment was 10 humbly implore pro-
lection. The Mloris have adopted the
custom of kiSS:nr, but the neyroes of
West Africa reuse to do so. and ap-
parcntly that wi4ich is medium of so
much pleasure to many nations fills
them with dislike
Kisses admit Of a great variety of
character, and there are eight dversi-
ties mentioned in the Scriptures. 1t
Is sign Of reverence and in order to
set Il sacred seal upon their vows that
witnesses in court of law, when they
are called upon to speak "the truth
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth, are required to touch the Bible
with their lips, rs also are soldiers when
they enlist and make the oath of allie
glance to Queen Victoria.
The pleasant old Christmas custom
of kiss under the mistletoc is relic
OF Morse mythology. Baldur, the
beautiful god of light, was slain bv a
spear whose shaft was Il mistletoe twip.
This was bewitchcd 10y Loki, the
malevolent god of fire, until it swelled
to the requisite size, and was given bv
him to blind iIodur, who threw it. and
unintentionally struck Baldur when
the gods were at play. Friga had
made everything in heaven and earth
swear not to harm Baldur, but had left
out the mistlctoe as being too slight
and weak to be OF harm. Baldur. how
ever, was restored to life. and Friya
guarded the mistletoc, which the gods
determined should not again have
power to do any mischief unless it
touched the earth. For this reason if

atfront to the farmer for being remiss
or later than others in reaping the
the harvest
The above mentioned sheaf and
stone had NEUROLOGICAL connection,
the significance of which is lost in the
fables of tradition.
Samuel Purchas, in his "Pilgrim-
age" published in 1913, describes the
ancient Peruvian method of ofcelebrating
the harvest of the "Mayz" 1t began
with the sacrifice of one hundred
sheep. The reapers brought home
the maize with precisely the same
feasting and rejoicing which marked
the harvest of the northern hemisphere
They then made portion of the best
of into an image, which they clothed
richly, and offered homage to it as
"the mother of the Mayz" This i'm

The Puaitan: cat what age are
men most pleasing to women 2" A
London editor recently threw this bone
to the public, which fell on it and
worried it and quarrelled over it, and
worked mp fine state of excitement
about it, mnch to the editorial salts
faction and profit.
The general conclusion reached was
that Il man, to be truly attractive from
Il feminine standpoint, must be over 30
and under As years of age. Over 30,
because then, fhe is Il possible person
all all, he has lost the first raw egotism
that besets the 20s; has given over
fourishing himself and his character
istics, and learned to be interested in
the personalities and standpoints of
others By that time he has lived
and loved, and 50 gathered about him
an atmosphere and experience-a
charm that must be acquired slowly,
like vines on house, but that has a
strong influence on woman's imagi-
nation.
In the early sos man has master
ed himself, if he is ever going to, and
that is first step toward mastering
others. And if there is one thing the
proud, free, independent, untrammel-
ed woman of to-day loves, it is to find
herself mastered Moreover, she can
be most fascinating without visible
effect on him, and that is irresistible
to woman. A boys alteration may
be gained by three glances and smile
and is but a cheap tribute, since the
next girl, and the one after the next,
could have secured it just as easily.
But the love Ola man of 80 is given to
her rs an individual, and not just as
thing in smiles and petticoats, and so
is infinitely precious to her.
When 4 man passes 40 he Is apt to
90 back to some of his early traits.
He is too easily pleased-his admira-
ton too cheaply won to be worth
while. His intereet in others has lost
its keenness, so up sweils his egotism
in its place. His youngness is gone,
and with it the divinity that hedges a
man before mounting flesh and the
spirit OF prudence uncrown him and
push him into the realm of middle
aged commonplace. He loses his dis
tinction as possible hero, and be-
comes merely commercial factor of
the worlds growth.

Besides saints and other holy per-

Sometimes difficulties occur in carry
ing out certain incidents in a biblical
subject; such dilemma occurred when
the writer painted the very large cast
window for st. Georges Cathedral
Sierra Leone. The bishop had stipu-
lated for as many black men as posi-
Die; among the scenes was The Resur-
rectlon, which of course brought in a
number OTTOMAN soldiers. Now came
the artists dilemma. Could he draw
a Roman soldier with black face with
any warranty of correctness. He
argued to himself: The Romans con-
quered nearly all the known world and
probably pressed Ethiopians into their
service Not to be without eNtran-
eous help, he sat down and wrote to
several clerical fiends, but untortu-
nately applied to an even number, and
received four replies yea and four
may, so that he was as far from the
true solution of his difficulty as before.

TABLE MANNERS.

A handsome, gray-haired matron,
whose manners have made her famous
in small Eastern city, which she calls
home, is complaining of the laxitv Of
manners in young women of the pres
ent day. There are several points on
which she lays stress; and elbow on
the table heads the lists.
"When | was receiving nv cduca-
tion at an expensive finishing school, =
she remarked, 1.-THE fact was impress, d
upon my mind that there was plenty
OF room for my elbows, but the table
was not included. 1t received more
attention than any other point, because
children and grown people, too, am
sorry to say, are prone to use the ell
bows on every occasion. grew up
with the idea that putting the elbows
on the table was on level with the
habit of eating with the knife, and here
| see high bred women of all ages in
dulge publicly in what l was brought
up to consider was serious breach
of etiquette. 1t may be all right
enough, but it gives distinct shock"
| can imagine her feelings, but not
enter wholly into them, because knew
that according to the times there is
not the slightest breach in table. If
woman has pretty arms and wears them
bare on occasions she is sure to spend
the entire dinner hour in some pose
that will show them off to the best adj
vantage. That may not be in the best
of needlework-we exhibit with pride
and satisfaction, and why not pretty
arms. One of the most fascinating
pictures | ever saw was a sketch bv
Charles Dana Gibson, in which his
creation, the American Girl. was seated
at restaurant table facing handsome
man, who had admiration for his com
panion pictured in every line of his
face. Her pose was fetching, with bare
elbows resting upon the little table, the
clasped hands supporting very pretty
chin.
Yet | can understand that an awk-
ward woman or an ugly one might
make such a pose vulgar 1t largely
depends upon the woman who does
these things, whether they please or
disgust us. The only exception to that
rule | can call to mind is the toothpick
habit, which even pretty women can
never make other than intensely dis
gusting. | don't care if the Prince of
Wales does pick his teeth in public and
thus stamp the act rs fashion. 1t is a
vulgar habit, and one that robs the
prettiest woman OF charm in the eyes
of refined persons. The gusto with
which hundreds of well-dressed ana ap-
parcntly well-mannered men and
women remove the traces of meal
from between their teeth is nothing
short of nauseating. 1t is a harmful
practice, too, as it Injuries the gums
and allows minute PARTICLES of wood to
find their way into the stomach thereby
causing irritation and many kinds Of
trouble. | am not so sure that the
dyspepsia, which has come to be re-
gar ed as our national disease, as gout
is England>s, is caused by our manner
OF eating our food-it may be due to
the wood toothpicks which accompany
each meal.-Ph'ladeph'a "a Times

\ NEW NARCOTIC.

A new narcotic is being used in
Mexican asylums for the insane. The
principal of one OF these institutions
became much concerned at the large
number OF deaths among the inmates,
caused 10y congestion of the brain, fol
lowing the excessive use of narcotics
administered to the women to overcome
the insomnia which is the frequent ac-
compartment of insanity. He there
fore requested Dr. Altimirano, princ-
pal of the National Medical Institute,
to try to discover narcotic which
would produce all the good results
without incurring. danger.
DIR. Altimirano at once answered that
he had already such a narcotic. It
consists of an extract prepared hy

the dose is 10 centigrams, mixed with

MARINE Gn0CERYMAN.
H. Ei0nahan one Of DeOis Oldest and Best Known Merchants
Meets with Serious Experience.
Feon tAe Euenlno Me,os, Detrott. lftch.

Prominent among the business men of
Detroit Mich, is Patrick IL. Monahan, who
resides at 1879 Baker Street.
He has been actively engaged in the gro
Gerry business for the past forty-seven years,
of which forty-two years have been in Detroit.
Coming here nearly half a century ago he
started into business at the corner of Second
and Jefferson Avenues, and for years catered
10 the marine trade. From Duluth TO Buff
falo his name as an honorable, honest boat
supply man was well known to all boatmen
No matter what time of day or night, the
Monahan Marine Grocery WIS kept open for
the convenience of the lake boats. He is
the best known and oldest retail grocery
dealer i'll Detroit. He has been successful
in business by his square dealings, and is vet
to be found behind the counter any day at
his large store, corner of Twelfth and Baker
Streets. To a reporter, he recently said
When we first opened the Jefferson Avenue
store we had to work day and night The
vessels that needed supplies, wanted them
right off and we had 20 jump all the time.
The reason vesselmen patronized us, was be-
cause We filed their orders at once. Every
hour counts with them and we had double

can succeed in business without hustling.
