a kissing Nation.

In no other part of the world is kiss
ing so much in vogue as in Russia.
From time immemorial it has been the
national salute. Indeed it is more of a
greeting than caress.
In public affairs, as in private, the
kiss is an established custom. Fathers
and sons kiss, old generals with r.stv
mustaches kiss, whole regiments kiss.
The emperor kisses his officers. On a
reviewing day there are almost as many
kisses as shots exchanged. If a Hllipu
tian corps of cadets have earned the i'm
perial approval, the imperial salute is
bestowed upon the head boy, who passes
it on with hearty report to his neigh
Dor, he in his turn TO the next, and so
on, through the whole Juvenile body.
On a holiday or fete day the young
and delicate mistress of a 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
salutes the matrimonial bond i'll these
high circles must be one of uninterrupt-
ed felicity. A gentleman scarcely enters
or leaves the room without kissing his
wife either On her forehead, cheek or
hand

The intensity of application with
which the mind follows whatever it
lays hold of in literary pursuits is ex-
empli6ed in the case of Robert Aims
worth, a celebrated writer and anti
quarian of the seventeenth century. He
had been for years engaged in volumi-
nous Latin, dictionary, and while fas-
cinated with this heroic work gave so
little time and attention to his wife
that he incurred her bitterest jealousy,
and before the work was quite complete
she committed the whole to the flames.
Instead of abandoning himself to de-
spair, Ainsworth set to work and re-
wrote it. accomplishing the entire work
in time. The same bitter disappoint-
ment was endured with similar heroism
by Carlyle when the manuscript of his
Frederick the Great" was destroyed
by fire.

NobOdy-s Mother.

There is story told ON one of the
circuits, which may or may not have
seen the light of print already, of how
not long ago a very young barrister rose
to examine one of his witnesses with an
unaccountably baZy notion of her iden-
tity. II think that you are the prison
er's mother" he began
Certainly not, sir, was the unez-
pected answer.
Turning hurriedly to his brief, he
thought he had found the reason for her
evident annoyance. "Ah, yes" he con-
tinued, - see, you are the prosecutrix's
mother:''
Certainly not, +" came her reply. still
more emphatically-
Then whose mother are you?' he
demanded, almost in despair. and she
fairly boiled over with Indignation as
she retorted: "Nobody's. sir. am a
single woman. st James Gazette.

OPENING OF GOLF SEASON.
Gay AssembIage at the Arsenal Links

Saturday.
The Rock Island Arsenal Golf clubs
links were the scene of gay assem-
blage Saturday afternoon, the golf
PLAYERS of the three cities having de-
cided upon this date as that for the
formal opening of the season. Mai.
Stanhope E Blunt, the president of
the club. and Mrs. Blunt, received the
mem bers at their home, and the dav
was a gala one in the affairs of the
club.
A number of informal PLAYS were
made on the links. The matches are
not to begin for about a fortnight
Fifteen cups are to be contested for.
The season bids fair to be the best
ever enjoyed in the history of
the club Golf has taken n
firm hold on the American fancy, and
nowhere are the votaries of the game
more enthusiastic than in the three
cities. The membership of the club
is large. and those who have taken an
interest in the game have devoted
great deal of time and hard work, so
that the average of scores, when the
season is finished, will rank well up.
The arsenal links consist of nine
holes, and cover distance of 1888
yards, and are in superb shape, such
as to warrant the statement that they
are among the very best in the coun-

Elizabeth Cromwell.

Cromwell legends are so ubiquitous
in England that it is real relief to lay
ones hand upon bit of solid fact re-
lating either to the protector or his
family izabeth, the second and IA
vorite daughter of Cromwell, married
John Claypole of Marlborough, and
appears to have spent a considerable
portion Of her IL years of welded life
in his substantial fourteenth century
house. Carlyle asserts Elizabeth Clay
pole to have been 'a graceful, brave
and amiable woman" and of her home
that it is NOW ruined-patched into
farmhouse. 2"
The second statement is not charac-
terized by his usual accuracy, and the
first probably needs some modification,
for Elizabeth Claypole is credited with
some turning of her head over her IA
theirs elevation, and at a wedding
feast is reported to have exclaimed,
when asked why the wives of the major
generals were absent, LII warrant
you, washing their dishes at home, as
they used TO do" Not a particularly
'amiable" sentence that
Cromwell seems to have had some
insight of her little weakness. Tell
her." he wrote once, "to take heed of
departing heart and of being cozened
with worldly vanities and worldly COM
paEy, which, doubt, she is too subject
to-" 1t is agreed by most authorities
that John Claypole himself was little
enough of a Puritan, but let it stand to
his credit that, after Oliver died, he
provided a haven for his widow for the
rest of her life in this manor house.
