her knee and laid her up for two weeks.

DIsQUISITION ON KISSING.
Hew the People of Different Nations
Manage lt-A Much-kisscL
Crown Princess.

In France there are thousands of op-
portunities for plentiful kissing.
Brothers kiss sisters, husbands wives.
friends each other. It would even be
thought prudish should young lady
refuse to offer her cheek for kiss to
friend of the family on his departure
or return after long absence.
In England kissing among members
of a family is less common. Men never
kiss one another. Still more restrained
are they III Scotland, where a woman
would consider it beneath her dignity
if she kissed her grown-up sons, and
mothers are sparing of caresses even
for their little boys.
In northern lands the kiss is reserved
exclusively for love, probably for the
reason that people there always kiss
the mouth, which gives to this ex-
preston of affection the character of
great intimacy. 1t is comprehensive
under such circumstances that young
girls should bravely defend their rosy
lips against the attacks of bold cous-
ins, and the stealing of kiss should
be looked upon by the law as a pun
ishable offense, for which fine is i'm
posed.
The definition of a kiss by Chinese
is interesting. A mandarin who trav-
eled in the west for the purpose of
learning the European customs was
greatly perplexed in trying to explain
kiss-a thing unknown in his country.
"The kiss" he writes, sis an act of
courtesy, consisting in bringing the lips
Of one person in contact with the chin
Of another, whereby sound is pro-
duced."
Kissing, however, is not a privilege
reserved exclusively to love; there are
occasions when it is prescribed by court
etiquette. On the occasion of the crown
prince of Greece's wedding that bride,
Princess Sophie of Prussia, the kaiser's
sister, was obliged 10 bestow no less
than $50 kisses.
The king of Greece received three
kisses; SO did his queen; so did En-
press Frederick and the king and queen
of Denmark and Kaiser Wilhelm and
the empress, while all the princes and
princesses present received one kiss
apiece. The poor crown princess on
leaving the church must have had all
the kissing she wanted ard probably
had but few kisses left for the wedding
journey.
Kisses have played part in politics,
too, for the duchess of Devonshire
bought votes with them, and the Cor
don highlanders were recruited by a
duchess of Gordon. who offered kiss
tc the men who would not take the
kings shilling.-Munchener Allge'

A MARROW ESCAPE.
End of an Adirondack Hunting Trip
lnvolvin. a Load Of Hay
and d Fire.


"That story" said sportsman, after
listening to a thrilling experience
which friend once had with runa
way team attached to farm wagon,
reminds me of an exciting and nearly
fatal ride that had on a hay cart when
up in the Adirondacks shooting last
November.
II had been tramping about in the
mountains all day shooting partridges,
quail and all other game that came
within reach of my gun, and late in
the afternoon, when my bag was full,
had fair days sport and would go
home. But l did not realize how tired
1 was until I started on my jaurney,
and the fact that had heavy load to
carry for five miles before l reached
the farmhouse where was staying was
anything but pleasant to contemplate.
However, had gone about a mile on
the country road when l heard the
rumbling of vehicle behind me, and
on looking around l saw big wagon
loaded with hay. The driver soon
caught up to me, and, learning that he
was going short distance from where
I stayed, asked him to give me ride.
He gave me permission, stopped his
horses, and. when had scrambled up
on top, l lay down in the hay, and we
went swaying and swinging pleasantly
down the road.
Il was just thinking Of presenting
the old farmer with few birds, when
suddenly there was a bang! My gun.
from which l had omitted to take the
cartridges, had gone off. The horses
gave a jump and the driver rolled of
his seat into the ditch. where he lay
stunned and motionless.
'sThen I discovered that my gun had
set fire to the hay, and l thought it
was about time for me to jump for the
road. The horses were tearing along
the road as fast as they could run, but
crawled for the side of the hay and
slid for the ground.
"The tail of my stout hunting coat
caught on the top of a sharp-pointed
standard, and there hung to the
careening wagon that threatened to
| upset and dump a load of burning hay
on me at every turn in the highway.
'The fire was cracking and burning
.fiercely, and could feel the flames get,
ting nearer and nearer to my legs,
Still the horses ran, and still my coat
| in spite of all the wriggling could do
held me fast to that seething mass Of
fame. My trousers began getting un
comfortably hot, and then'I observed
with horror that the tail of my coat
was on fire. The next moment tht
loose cartridges in my pockets begai
exploding from the heat, and then
smelled my birds broiling.'
"Well. you were not cremated," sait
q listener. What happened next?
Il had just made up my mind tina
was going to be roasted alive when tn
tai. of my coat burned off, and wa
thrown into ditch full of water 0l
the roadside. Presently, when | ha'
recovered my senses, got up, brushes
the mud from my clothes and resume
my journey without stopping to sc
what had become of the horses, my CUR
or the old farmer. The next mornin
II took the first train for New Ycrl
and thus ended one Of the most excitin
shooting trips have ever had. ~.

THREE CHARRED BODIES.
Lives Lost in the Burning ofthe Steamer
 Ouachita.

Memphis, Tenn, January Bout or the remains of the steamer Ouachita, whlch burned at the Memphis wharf early this morning, the charred remains of three per- sons have been taken.
 Present Identification of the bodies is purely circumstantial, but they are believed to be those of pr. Murry, of Greenville, Miss, and Mr. and Mrs. Keck. Dr. Murray was well known to the officers of the lost boat, and they are reasonably certain that he lost his life in endeavoring to save pair of fine horses he had aboard.
 Keck and his wife were en route to Vicks- burg, Miss, and Keck is supposed to have lost his life trying to save that of his wife, who was hemmed in by the flames. The bodies have been turned over to an under taker, who will hold them for more positive identification. No other bodies could be found though persistent rumors report the loss of other lives. It is believed that the list of dead as now made up is complete.
 The boat and cargo are complete loss. Valuation of the steamer is given as $36,- 900, with insurance of S21 ,OOO. The contents, chiefly grain and hay, were worth $15,000; insurance, if any, not known.

Manager Culp in the City

MT. J. M. Culp, traffic manager of the Southern Railway system, is at the Morris. MT. Culp's headquarters are in the great building of the Southern in Pennsylvania avenue, Washington. He is one of the best known, ablest and most popular railroad men in the United States For years he was a high official of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, and is known to and esteemed by all the great shippers and pub- lie men of Alabama.
 MT. Culp is man of pre-eminent ability in railroad management, and he fully de- serves the universal public confidence re- posed in him. He is a man of vast energy, foresight and wisdom, and merits all the honors the public can accord him.
 The object of MT. Culp's visit to Birming- ham can be nothing more than conjectural, as he arrived late last night, and The Age Herald reporter did not disturb him. His visit isS probably in the ordinary course of business for he is emphatically business man. He Is good friend of Birmingham, and 1t is weif, that this city has the friend ship of man>so eminent in the railroad world.

SEARCH CONTINUES.
Effort Effort Being Made to Find the
 Paul Jones.

Port Eads, La, January 19.-The customs officials here are doing their utmost in try ing to get information from every vessel or sailing craft from along the coast and numerous islands that daily enter the river here.
 The Paul Jones went to sea through Pass AL Outre, with Colonel Youman's party on board in charge of Captain Sturtevant on January and was passed by several small craft next day sailing along the coast and since then nothing has been heard from her.
 The lighthouse tender Pansay, in command of A. V. Wadhams, is making a thorough search along the shores of Breton and Chameleon islands, and may return at any hour with tidings of the yacht.
 According to reliable informa ton received late last night the yacht Paul Jones Is in all probability total loss with all os Fishermen from the back bay betwssS Island and Collett's canal report ii1idii.s . quantity of wreckage, such as windows and doors of the cabin of a new boat.

explained It's general provisions. It carried. he said, s105, All .6SS, being s2i7.6sS more than the estimates, and s6,269,3SS more than the amount carried by the current law. MT. Loud was interrogated regarding the new features of the bill. MT. Cookery spoke of the provision appropriating $S00,00O for postal service in newly acquired territory. He suggested the proprety of defraying the expenses of the postal service in the new territory out of the receipts there. MT. Loud agreed with the suggestion. He said half million was asked originally for this item but after a cabinet meeting the postmaster general had said that amount would not be necessary. He thought it was to be the well settled policy of the govern ment to meet the expenses out of the re- ceipts. In Porto Rico, with which our rela- tions were different, a slightly different plan might be arranged.
 Pneumatic Tube Service
 MT. Brucker (dem. Mich) made a point of order against the provision in the bill in connection with the appropriation of $300,- 900 for the pneumatic tube service. This re- placed the prohibition against extension of the service.
 Mir Loud contended that if the point was sustained against the proviso it would car ry out the whole paragraph, including the appropriation itself.
 Mr. Hopkins, in the chair, sustained the point of order, whereupon MT. Loud moved to reduce the appropriation to s225000. The amendment was adopted
 Mir Moody (rep) of Massachusetts moved to strike out the appropriation of $171 23S for special southern fast mail facilities. A fight has been made annually against this appropriation for many years.
 There was a debate of more than an hour over this amendment. It was opposed by Messrs. Swanson (dem), of Virginia; Carmack (dem), of Tennessee, and Ogden of Louisiana. but was finally carried, S2 to GA, and the appropriation was stricken out
 Mir. Moody then moved to strike out the appropriation of $500 for special mail ia- cilities from Kansas City to Newton, Kan, claiming that the appropriation benefited only the newspapers
 Defended the Appropriation
 MT. Cowherd (dem.), of Missouri, defended the appropriation, as did also MT. Simpson (pop.), of Kansas The latter said the ap- propriation facilitated the mails for western Kansas and the whole southwest. The amendment was adoted and the appropria- tion stricken out.
 MT: Cookery, of Missouri, offered an amendment prohibiting the issue of money orders to bearers. It was adopted. There were no further amendments and the Dill was reported to the house.
 MT Swanson then moved to sscnmmit the bill with instructions to strike out from the paragraph appropriating $2OO,0W1o TOT mall facilities in territory occupied by military occupation the words newly acquired ter ritorv.' which he contended fixed the atti- tude of the United States toward those territories to some extent and was therefore improper until congress had decided upon a policy.
 The amendment was pending when the house adjourned.
