Stocks-Strength prevailed nearly
all day in the stock market with total
dealings of over a million shares. The
effect of extensive realizing was not
felt until near the close, when the tone
was easy, bus the recessions still left
material advances in many stocks.
London, after some early purchases,
sold freely on the advance here, but
the stock was we'll taken. Sterling
exchange was strong and time money

favorable comment was the weeks in

In no other part of the world is kiss,
ing so much in vogue ms in Russia
From time immemorial it has been the
national salute. Indeed it is more of a
greeting than caress,
In public affairs as i'll private, the
kiss is an established custom. Fathers
and sons kiss, old generals with rusty
mustaches kiss, whole regiments kiss
The emperor kisses his officers On a
reviewing day there are almost AS many
kisses as shots exchanged If lillipu-
tian corps of cadets have earned the i'm

bestowed upon the head boy, who passes

On "a holiday or fese day the young
and delicate mistress of house will
not only kiss all her maidservants, but
all her menservants, too, and if the
gentleman does not venture above her
hand she will stoop and kiss his cheek
To judge also from the number of
saiu!es the matrimonial bond in these
high circles must be one of uninterrupt
ed felicity A gentleman scarcely enters
