A KISSING NATION.
In Russia Men Kiss Men and kissing
Is UniversaI-OsCuIn on
Every Hand.

In no other part of the world is kiss
ing so much in vogue as in Russia.
From time immemorial il has been the
national salute; indeed, it is more of a
greeting than a caress.
In public affairs, as in 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 Lilipu-
tian corps of cadets have earned the
imperial approval, the imperial salute
is bestowed upon the head boy, who
passes it on with a hearty report 10 his
neighbor, he in turn TO the next, and
so on through the whole juvenile body
On a holiday or fete day IL young
and delicate mistress of a house will
not only kiss all her maid servants, but
all her men servants, 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 in these
high circles must be one of uuinter-
rupted felicity. \ gentleman scarcely
enters or leaves the room without kiss
ing his wife either on her forehead,
cheek or hand.

bottom of which are placed the seeds, is
midway the depth of the pan. Water
should be placed in the pan, but not
enough to reach the seeds; they will be
Inoistened by water drawn up by the
lower strip or wick. See Figs 1 and 2.
The pan should be kept in tempera-
ture as even as possible, ranging from
65 to IS degrees. Only one kind of seed
should be placed in each bag, and a GER
tain number of these seeds should be
counted out when SO placed and rec
ord kept on an accompanying slip.
After the seeds have been given suffi-
cient time to sprout, they should be
counted AMI the percentage OF the
good seed reckoned. The work takes
comparatively little time, and will be
found very interesting. For instance,
take test of clover seed; in
extracting a sample, the seed should be
thoroughly mixed and stirred and then
a pinch taken at random and, ray, so or
100 seeds counted out and placed in the
bag, where they may remain for ten
days. Many of them, however, will
sprout before the expiration of that
period and these should be removed and
a record kept of them. Some seeds of
course start more easily than other
kinds. The following periods may be
stated as the limits required for the
termination of good seed of the kinds

vetches, sunflower, buckwheat, clover,

PRACTICAL SEED TEST.
A Very Simple Operation Which Re
quires Absolutely No Expendi-
turc of yoney.

Testing seeds on the farm IS such a
highly satisfactory practice that, hav-
ing tried it once by good method it is
likely TO become an established feature.
Nothing can be more vexatious than 10
carefully manure and prepare piece of
ground for some particular crop, plant
the seed just at the right time and in
the right manner, and then, after wait
ing a reasonable time finally discover
that poor seed has been procured in the
beginning and that only a part of il has
come up. Experience like this can be
avoided by seed testing, which is in re-
atty very simple thing, and requires
absolutely no outlay of money.
In the first place, seed should be pro-
cured early in the season, to allow plen-
ty of time to return it and procure
other seed, in case it is found to be poor.
All the apparatus necessary foI ordina-
ry testing of the terminating powers of
seeds is a tin pan, like cake pan or
bread pan, little cotton cloth or sheet
ing and a dozen or so sticks, long
enough 10 reach across the short way of
the pan, as shown in the accompanying
cuts. A couple of little headiess brads
can be driven into each stick, which
latter should have square edges so as to
rest steadily on the pan, and on these
pins pieces of the cloth can be hooked
at the four corners. These cloths or
bags should have a strip sewed at the
bottom which will reach TO the bottom
CT the pan, while the bag itself, in the
